‘We are legal migrants against illegal immigration’
‘I moved here from China, I don’t feel safe at night’
‘I owe everything to this country’
Canary Wharf’s unlikely migrant-hotel protesters:
‘Grooming gangs aren’t really gangs. They are clans. They’re groups of relations – fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins – often linked by cousin marriage. The British state tacitly acknowledges this when it appoints “community leaders”.’
David Starkey on grooming gangs:
The narcissism of the nonbinary cult is extraordinary. They want awards ceremonies, toilets and even language to be “gender neutral” so that they never feel offended. Their self-regard is off the charts. It’s time we all said no, says Brendan O’Neill
‘You can’t tell the truth without the police knocking at your door… The UK is now impossible for someone like me to live in now. It’s not a creative place. It’s not a happy place. The cultural scene is all about cancellation’
@Glinner on the fall of liberal Britain
Why do rich college kids and posh leftists love wearing the keffiyeh? Because it makes them feel exotic. It makes them feel less white, less privileged, less “problematic”. This isn’t solidarity – it’s a woke version of blacking up, says Brendan O’Neill

When JK Rowling called India Willoughby a man she was not being transphobic. She was not being a bigot. She was not 'misgendering'. She was telling the truth. Everyone must be free to dissent from the unhinged trans religion, says Brendan O’Neill
It’s time to call out the nonsense of nonbinary. Everyone is either male or female. Making the Brit Awards gender-neutral to appease the tiny number of people who fantasise that they are post-sex is ludicrous. Let’s stop being silly, says Brendan O’Neill
Alice Cooper has said what we’re all thinking: The trans movement is a ‘fad’, wokeness is ‘stupid’ and neither belong anywhere near kids. Cooper’s commonsense takes are a breath of fresh air, writes Lauren Smith
Bono is being attacked online. Why? Because he criticised Hamas. He called Hamas ‘evil’, accused it of ‘butchering’ Jews and said it started the war in Gaza. He is dead right. But the anti-Israel mob doesn’t give a damn about truth, says Brendan O’Neill

“Keir Starmer took the knee after the Black Lives Matter protests had turned violent and a statue had been toppled... They were quite happy to support violent protests by people they thought of as their mates… He should apologise”
Jacob Rees-Mogg on two-tier Keir:
“Islamists have killed 95 people in Britain since 2005. The far right has killed three. You wouldn’t get that impression reading the newspapers”
Tom Slater on Islamist terror
Ex-Muslim Hatun Tash has been assaulted, robbed and even stabbed for criticising Islam at Speakers' Corner. Yet the police have repeatedly arrested her while treating her attackers as the victims. This is two-tier policing at its worst, says Tim Dieppe buff.ly/3TDBruq
