British Liberals Vote Against National Inquiry Into Grooming Gangs

British members of parliament (MPs) voted against an amendment to launch a national inquiry into Muslim grooming gangs on Wednesday.

A major political row has swelled over the past month, following a refused Freedom of Information request to the Government by Oldham Council. Since then, calls for a national inquiry have grown as further details about child sexual exploitation across parts of Northern England have emerged.

On Wednesday, the scandal dominated the day’s proceedings in Parliament, commencing with a fiery Prime Minister’s Questions. Later in the afternoon, the Conservatives added an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, demanding a national inquiry into grooming gangs.

Labour said the amendment would effectively kill off the bill, arguing that it would delay the Government’s ability to implement crucial safeguarding measures. The Conservatives, meanwhile, echoed calls from Elon Musk to prioritize a national inquiry.

A national inquiry was completed in 2022. However, none of the report’s 20 recommendations have been implemented by either a Labour or Conservative Government.

Shortly after 7pm GMT, MPs voted 364 to 111 against the Tories’ amendment. A three-line whip meant all Labour MPs either voted against the amendment or abstained, while the Conservatives were joined by Reform UK’s 5 MPs, as well as Northern Irish Unionists.

The Labor Party has 402 seats in the House of Commons, while the Conservative Party has 121, and the rest of the 650 seats are held by other parties (seven of which are held by Northern Ireland’s Sinn Fein, which doesn’t take their 7 seats in protest).

Many on social media were stunned by the decision of MPs.

Others had differing views on the reasons for the amendment and subsequent vote.

Ellen DeGeneres’ New Home In England Floods Just Weeks After Leaving U.S. Following Election

Ellen DeGeneres home in England has reportedly flooded just weeks after moving abroad following the presidential election.

The former television personality moved to the U.K. in November after Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris. Both DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were reportedly “very disillusioned” with American politics by Trump’s win, and immediately decided “to get the hell out.”

If only more Hollywood liberals would follow her lead.

Since moving to the Cotswolds, the couple had to bare the brunt of Storm Bert, which saw much of England subject to heavy rain and 80mph winds. The River Thames, upon which the couple’s 43-acre property is situated on, burst its banks as a result, causing their home to be flooded right after their move.

Many noted the irony of DeGeneres’ home going underwater.

Another commenter referenced her role in Finding Dory.

Others, meanwhile, highlighted the impact of flooding on residents in her home country.

British Justice Secretary Promises 500 Prison Spaces for Right-Wing Protesters Despite Previous Overcrowding Fears

Speaking from experience, the United Kingdom is a desperate place at the moment.

The hope and optimism after the election of a new Labour government on July 4 has quickly faded away. Just one month after the polls closed, the country has witnessed riots not seen on British streets for 13 years.

It’s sad, more than anything else. Few people watch the news to become so infuriated that they decide to take their anger out on a pastry shop. Instead, they are saddened that the actions of politicians and the mainstream media has fueled the fan of frustrations among vocal minorities on either side of the political spectrum.

Just days after his electoral victory, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to release prisoners 40% of the way through their sentence (assuming, of course, they were eligible for parole). He deemed this to be a necessary step given “overcrowding” within the British prison system.

Yet, as the political elite have changed to a “tough on crime” stance to bring an end to the protests against mass immigration and migrant crime, prison spaces are suddenly becoming available.

On social media, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood shared a Guadian article stating an extra 500 prison places would become available to accommodate convicted rioters.

The political approach of finding solutions only in times of exceptional – or selective demand is incredibly frustrating. It only raises questions as to why reducing minimum prison sentences, thus potentially releasing murderers, rapists, and pedophiles early, was initially prioritized over creating additional prison spaces.

Of course, threats from politicians can only infuriate further. It’s a dangerous route…

…one which some will deem Orwellian.

British Journalist Reveals More Than £20,000,000 In Government Expenditure On “Woke Waste” Since 2020

July 4, 2024, will mark the last day of the current Conservative Government in the United Kingdom.

The once-right-wing party has seen a dramatic shift to the left in recent years. The ousting of populist Prime Minister Boris Johnson by his own colleagues followed by the short tenure of Liz Truss has moved the party back towards a centrist ideology. A country which has historically leaned towards conservatism has become disgruntled with a party which has failed to stop immigration and allowed wokeism, which was once seemingly on the way out, to thrive.

On election day, it’s predicted to be punished to an unfathomable degree as voters flock to the Labour Party or Nigel Farage’s anti-woke Reform UK.

The degree of wokeism under the Conservative Government has been tracked by British journalist Charlotte Gill, who can be found on X as @CharlotteCGill. Gill is the mastermind behind Woke Waste (@WokeWaste) – a pioneering concept which tracks Government expenditure on anything woke through the UK Research and Innovation.

Her findings are shocking.

Since 2021, Gill has discovered that the civil service has wasted £217,000 of taxpayer money on diversity recruitment. Taxpayers have also contributed £841,830 to “The Europe that Gay Porn Built, 1945-2000”, while hundreds of thousands in Government Grants have helped fund “charitable activities” for an LGBTQ+ charity which offers kayaking, cooking lessons, and a film club.

Gill shared the news that just two weeks before the country goes to the polls, the Government has spent more than £20,000,000 on woke issues since 2020.

The reaction to her posts is a review, if one was ever needed, why you should give her a follow on X.

Extremist British MP Laughs At Fellow MP Being “Surrounded” By Police

Brussels police intervened in a conservative conference attended by Brexit icon Nigel Farage on Tuesday, April 16th, at the request of local Mayor Emir Kir. The conference was ordered shut down by local authorities who erroneously cited “public safety concerns” – despite the event being entirely peaceful, and attended by government ministers and officials from across Europe.

Police reportedly prevented people from entering the venue, only allowing guests to leave if they chose. In the days prior, the conference faced venue changes over repeated attempts by the mayor and other local activists to prevent venues from hosting it. And instead of causing universal outrage – the kind of consensus the Western world might one day have expected – Britain’s Labour Party seemed to think it was funny.

So funny, in fact, that when one Member of Parliament mocked the chilling assault on freedom of speech, other Labour MPs visibly chuckled.

Here’s what happened:

Wes Streeting, a far-left Member of Parliament for Britain’s Labour Party, laughed off the entire debacle on Tuesday. Streeting sarcastically bemoaned the absence of the Right Honourable Member for Fareham, the hugely popular Conservative Member of Parliament Suella Braverman, was unable to attend the House of Commons because she was in Brussels, surrounded by police officers who were attempting to shut down the event.

“And of course, a source lose to the right honourable member for Fareham, who couldn’t be here today with us Mr. Deputy Speaker, because she’s currently in Brussels surrounded by the police, who are trying to shut down the event she’s attending with some far-right fanatics with whom she has much in common. She said that she is not a fan of the bill,” Streeting said.

By the way – this is the same Member of Parliament who was recently forced to eat crow and admit that he was, in part, responsible for the popularization of extreme Trans ideology that has caused irreversible harm to thousands of British children.

Last week, Streeting admitted that he was wrong to claim “trans women are women” in the wake of the release of the Cass review – an independent inquiry that confirmed there was “weak evidence” that puberty suppression helped sufferers of gender dysphoria.

Streeting may have abandoned his extreme views on gender, but will he abandon his extreme position on freedom of speech?
