The curious case of Mohammed Alfatih Naim is worrying evidence that Britain really has lost the plot.
His father was a senior Hamas politician.
He’d been a bodyguard for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
He’s been detained in Egypt on suspicion of helping Hamas smuggling.
He entered Britain illegally in 2014.
Yet a year later we granted him asylum.
Then British citizenship.
Facing trial for an altercation with a bailiff at his Brum home, some numpty of a magistrate ruled he couldn’t be named for 100 years.
Thankfully The Sunday Times challenged that, which is why he can now be named.
He is now facing extradition to Germany, where prosecutors accuse him of orchestrating a planned massacre of Jews in Berlin and Vienna last year.
This is how he thanks us for asylum and citizenship.
Which he was given under a Tory government.
But has this Labour one, as it welcomes ‘refugees’ from Gaza, learned any lessons.
Not if we’ve lost the plot.

Tomorrow, Maggie Oliver and her team take the Government to the High Court over its failure to implement key IICSA recommendations.
Labour has shelved the national compensation scheme for survivors of child sexual abuse, while victims continue to fight for justice and children remain at risk. Successive governments have failed these victims. I cannot attend due to work commitments, but I’ll be watching closely. Please show Maggie and her team your support. She’s someone who turns words into action.

Nigel Farage lays a wreath at the cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
This is the first time he's been allowed to do this. He's by far the most patriotic leader we have and it will mean a lot to him to show his respect.
Lest we forget.

On Remembrance Sunday Lisa Nandy has claimed that no one in Britain has had to fight a war since WW2.
What about the 7,193 British soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in conflicts ranging from the Korean War to Afghanistan?
While she erases their service, the country will never forget their bravery.
Remembrance Sunday is a sacred day, not to be cynically used by Labour to justify closer ties to the EU. Whatever the merits of their argument - and I believe reopening the Brexit wars is both a colossal waste of energy and a strategic disaster when national sovereignty is more important than ever - this is not the day for it.
It’s disappointing that Nandy and Andy Burnham, who presumably agreed to this, have failed so badly to meet the moment.

Something HUGE is happening out there after the treacherous new management of the Daily Telegraph sacked their most popular columnist Allison Pearson.
This morning I hear mass cancellations are underway, with thousands ending their subscriptions.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz broke a police officer's nose at Manchester Airport. He walked free on bail.
Danny Tommo is locked in a cell until 2027.
Amaaz, 21, from Rochdale, punched PC Lydia Ward so hard it broke her nose at Manchester Airport, then rained blows on PC Ellie Cook. In January 2025 he was given unconditional bail and stayed out for seventeen months until a jury convicted him.
Daniel Thomas, 37 (Danny Tommo) has been held since 29 September. He's accused of damaging a boat and of refusing to give police the PIN to his phone. No trial until March 2027.
One man's violence earned him a freedom pass. The other man's politics earned him a cell.
I wonder why. 🤔
Two-tier justice. Two-tier Britain. 🇬🇧

Burnham is considering financial payouts to African and Caribbean countries for slavery reparations.
If a penny of taxpayer money is spent on reparations, Restore Britain will organise a London protest bringing hundreds of thousands.
We will make our opposition VERY clear.

Nearly four months since Ann Widdecombe was so cruelly taken from us.
The mainstream media and many others may have moved on, but some of us haven't forgotten you.
Rest in peace, Ann. You deserved so much better. 🕊

If, as The Telegraph reports, Burnham is going to make reparation in the shape of millions towards health and education in the Caribbean to “atone” for the slave trade, I guarantee that he will lose a General election whether he calls it sooner or later. A shocking decision.
The guy’s a dud.

It remains absolutely astonishing that Danny Tommo is in prison BEFORE his trial, for MONTHS.
I won't forget it, and nor should you.

Educate yourself Kay.
Your lefty virtue-signalling about how bad our country’s history was may have been welcome on Sky News and at your Covid parties.
But the truth is that slavery- indefensible as it was- was the norm many centuries ago. The Romans, the Egyptians, the Dutch and even the Africans themselves all took part in the brutal trade.
And you should know that Brits were enslaved too. By the Romans, Irish, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and the Barbary cosairs.
Your ignorance wouldn’t be much comfort for the women imprisoned for months in freezing, brutal conditions, taken from their families by raiders on the British Isles in the 11th century.
If you need some help learning more, read my book, ‘Patriot: Empire, betrayal and hope’.
I’m sure your words would have been of great comfort to the women imprisoned for months in those stinking, cramped dungeons, taken out at the governor’s pleasure or left in the blistering sun without food or water if they resisted his advances, before being marched through the Door of No Return.
