The outrage over the Reform racism scandal is deeply hypocritical

  It took a year for undercover journalists to find racists in Reform, while the Greens spout their anti-Semitism openly. Spiked 21/10/26 So that’s it then, is it? In Brighton last month, a mainstream political party declared that ‘Zionism is racism’ and casually denied the right of the world’s only Jewish nation to exist. But now attention has shifted. The news cycle has moved on. The anti-Semitism in the Green Party of England and Wales is, it seems, so last month. Forget the erstwhile eco-warriors obsessing over Jews. Look over here instead: there are some racists in Reform UK. The sighs of relief emanating from major news corporations when it emerged that undercover reporters from ITV had footage showing some members of Reform making vile, racist remarks must have reverberated across London. Journalists could relax. Order had been restored. No longer would commentators have to confront the horrendous implications of the Green Party’s support for ‘the establishment of a single d...

The mob is coming to Britain, and the police are woefully unprepared

  Unrest is spreading across Europe from France to Spain and Albania, yet the UK has no dedicated riot squad Daily Telegraph 21/10/26 Philip Johnston Show biography Published 21 October 2026 6:00am BST 76 Gift this article free Add us as preferred source France is ablaze and we could be next , say the gloomsters; and they may be right. Unrest seems to be spreading across Europe with riots in Milan, Albania, Spain and Portugal in recent weeks. This may all be coincidental or a sign of a deeper political malaise that is expressing itself in violent behaviour. If the politicians won’t listen, the French protesters say, what choice do we have? It is also the reason given by masked men who have turned up at south-coast ports when asylum seekers arrive. Advertisement So if the mobs take to the streets here can the authorities cope? The short answer is no. One reason why the French have a fundamentally different police set-up to Britain’s is their Gallic penchant for airing their grievanc...

The BBC is ignoring its impartiality emergency

  As evidence of serious bias continues to pile up, the corporation’s leadership is burying its head in the sand Daily Telegraph 19/10/26 The BBC’s failings won’t be resolved without action, openness and courage Credit : Getty Images The BBC has continued to deny that it has a serious problem with impartiality. But evidence continues to emerge that tells a very different story. Following an investigation by The Telegraph , the BBC was last weekend forced to pause a scheme in which civil servants on secondment were contributing to news reporting and being asked to fact-check contentious political issues. It also emerged last week that the BBC’s Bitesize service had been using quizzes to encourage schoolchildren to take political positions on controversial subjects. In one example, the BBC created an online game which rewarded children for choosing the answer “open borders” and granting an amnesty to illegal migrants.

Macron to ban public gatherings over rioting

  French president warns that he will curtail civil liberties to halt unrest Daily Telegraph 18/10/26 Emmanuel Macron has said public gatherings will be banned to halt rioting if necessary, after French cities were burned and looted. The French president announced civil liberties could be curtailed in an evening address from the Élysée Palace after government buildings were torched and shops ransacked in nationwide protests. The central government’s prefects, responsible for upholding law across France , would work with local authorities to impose bans on “certain gatherings when necessary”, Mr Macron said.

Hours earlier, Donald Trump had blamed Mr Macron’s migration policies for the violence . More than 2,300 people were arrested on Saturday after protests against the high cost of living and conditions inside schools descended into violence. Almost 1,000 police ...
