Oxford debate with Tommy Robinson and assorted scum to go ahead

The Oxford Union Society (OUS) is set to go ahead with its postponed debate featuring notorious racists Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, and Jacob Rees-Mogg. And, that’s in spite of urging to the contrary from community leaders and campaign groups. The OSU, though independent from the University of Oxford, draws much of its membership from the university. On 17 June, it’s set to debate the motion: This House Believes the West is right to be Suspicious of Islam The debate was originally scheduled for 28 May. However, it was postponed after public outcry over Robinson’s presence, in particular. Tommy Robinson is just…

Ex-Ofcom chair defends GB News giving voice to ‘white majority’

Michael Grade, the former chairperson at Ofcom, has defended the media watchdog’s (lack of) handling of GB News under his leadership. He lionised the far-right propaganda outlet as “giving voice to a strong body of opinion in this country which has been ignored for years”. As part of an interview with the Guardian, Grade tried to argue that critics of GB News feared contrasting viewpoints. He said: The fact is, what people don’t like is the fact that there is a television station giving voice to a strong body of opinion in this country which has been ignored for years. They just don’t…

Documentary on US bombing of Iran school to air in July

On 28 February, the US bombed a school in the opening stages of its unprovoked attack on Iran, killing more than 150 people, many schoolchildren. The UN condemned the attack: A strike on a school represents a grave assault on children, on education, and on the future of an entire community. There is no excuse for killing girls in a classroom. Now, Sky News and Forensic Architecture prepare to debut their documentary about the tragedy that shocked the world. Iran: Children of Minab film The US tried to deny it had bombed the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school at the time.…

Algerian national team introduces Kansas to football – and they love it.

In news nobody saw coming, it would appear that the Algeria men’s football team are receiving a warm welcome at their World Cup base camp in Kansas. Americans don’t really get sport. They are famously terrible at most sports of note, after all. Presumably that’s why the make up their own rubbish games – American ‘football’ anyone? – and pretend that these sports have their own credible world championships. But times are a-changing in down in rootin-tootin Kansas… or something. A state is known for virtually nothing – except that old film about Dorothy and her dog and some wizard. Yet…

Far right now say police SHOULDN’T hit suspects in head

Once again, white riots have erupted across the UK; these supremacist uprisings were fanned by the agitators who glorified police officers kicking a prone man in the head back in April. Now, however, the shoe is on the other skull: Was the way to get the right to care about police brutality just showing them when it happens to white people all along? https://t.co/wCpegp6PJm — JimmyTheGiant (@jimthegiant) June 14, 2026 Police do not protect people To make something clear up front, we’ve always opposed police brutality, regardless of who the victims are.

Mosque in Blackburn hit by arson attack, Starmer remains shtum

The Masjid-e-Quwwatul Islam mosque in Blackburn was set on fire last weekend. Keir Starmer, his government and the state-corporate media have been deafeningly silent about the arson attack. It was the latest of countless Islamophobic attacks in the UK. No ‘COBRA’ meeting. No emergency funding. Not even a word of condemnation from Number 10. ‘Mainstream’ media coverage was limited to a mention in the local press. Google’s search results show only a 2025 arson attack and an article about a separate attack on an Imam’s home: State contempt The Muslim Social Justice Initiative (MSJI) pointed out the stark difference in the…

Zionist MP Tapp asks Polanski “What should a terrorist look like?”

Israel-fanatic and Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) vice-chair Labour MP Mike Tapp isn’t the brightest — or most moral — bulb in the box. Tapp thinks it’s great for police to beat the crap out of a helpless suspect. So maybe it’s no surprise he didn’t see what a door he was opening when he tried to taunt Green party leader Zack Polanski about the arrest of grannies and vicars opposing genocide. But asking Polanski what a convicted terrorist should look like? Come on. Who’d ever have guessed? But that’s exactly what Tapp did. Polanski had rightly pointed to the Starmer…

Terms of Iran and US peace deal to be formalised on Friday

Iran and the US are set to sign a new peace deal this Friday. The US has been humiliated on multiple fronts, to say the least. The Oman-brokered deal, as we have often repeated, offered unprecedented concessions, but the US and Israel attacked Iran anyway. The full terms of the new deal are not yet clear. But we are being told the details are finalised, to be formally signed on 19 June. Here is what the news agency Reuters has reported: STRAIT OF HORMUZ: * Iran immediately reopens the ​Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels, while the U.S. ⁠lifts its naval…

Sweden secure comfortable win over Tunisia

Sweden opened their World Cup campaign with a ruthless performance, easing past Tunisia 5-1 in a match that underlined the attacking depth Graham Potter has built. It was not flawless — but what mattered was control, clarity and a front line that looked sharp from the first whistle. Gyökeres strikes early Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, the two strikers Sweden have long hoped would peak at the same time, delivered exactly what Potter wanted: movement, power, and goals. Between them, they set the tone for a night that rarely drifted from Swedish hands. Tunisia had their moments, especially early on, but…

Social media ban fails to tackle root causes of dangerous online misogyny

Today the UK government has confirmed it will implement a long-anticipated ban on social media use for under-16s in the UK. As Maddison Wheeldon wrote for the Canary, this move does little for young people while letting big tech companies off the hook. And girls’ rights charity Plan International UK has added that the ban won’t keep girls safe. Because it fails to tackle the underlying causes of misogyny online. Morgan Griffith-David is senior influencing lead for UK Girls’ Rights at Plan International UK. Reacting to the confirmation of the ban on under-16s using social media in the UK, he said:…

Starmeroid MP left red-faced as Gaza email prosecution collapses

Starmeroid MP Peter Kyle and state prosecutors have been humiliated today after a constituent resoundingly defeated Kyle’s attempt to criminalise her for emailing him about Israel’s Gaza crimes. Claire Kerrison had copied Kyle — her constituency MP — in on emails to Keir Starmer and his ministers about Israel’s criminal abduction of humanitarian volunteers trying to sail aid to Gaza during Israel’s illegal starvation blockade. Kyle took exception to this and complained to Sussex Police. Following the regime’s usual pattern, the police arrested Kerrison in a 4am raid. The state charged Kerrison with ‘persistent misuse of a communication system to cause…

Report: Israel is ‘above the law’ and Gaza is testing Britain’s democracy

A new report by Mona Deely — CEO of Reform Initiative for Transparent Economies (RITE) — lays bare how support for Israel’s settler-colonial aggression in Palestine depends on disregard for international law by Israel and its allies. Deely, also a UK-certified lawyer, presents a detailed account of how unconditional support for states engaged in genocide is compromising systems. Moreover, she underscores the acceleration of this beneath state-of-the art surveillance systems. In addition, she highlights the marriage of convenience with Big Tech. The military support, legal interference, and lobbying across international institutions underpinning these alliances provide Zionist Israel with a political safety…

Monstrous 4 metre chicken dumped outside Pret in London

A car-sized Pret chicken wrap with a whole “frankenchicken” stuffed inside, feathers and all, has appeared outside Pret A Manger in Oxford Circus. It marks the start of animal welfare charity Anima’s week-long tour of 15 Pret cafés throughout the city. Pret is the target of a £1m public campaign as a response to the high-end café chain breaking its commitment to stop selling fast-growing chickens by 2026. In 2018 Pret promised to stop selling fast-growing chickens by this year. It has now delayed that to 2032 and not switched a single bird to a slower growing breed. Connor Jackson, chief…

Student protesters defy event boss to expose arms insurance cover-up

Student protesters have released footage and delivered letters to Sompo Insurance headquarters, defying attempts by event organisers to cover up the violent removal of activists from a major London financial conference. The incident occurred at the Insurance Linked Securities Conference, hosted by Insurance Insider, where four activists, including a 17-year-old student, were pushed and dragged from the venue by security. Security guards manhandled the 17-year-old student out of the event, as she shouted: “I’m just 17” and “Stop insuring genocide”. Activists accuse insurance company of ‘complicity’ The students had attended the event to demand that Sompo, a key sponsor, drop its…

On Monday 15 June, the Spycops inquiry resumes and campaigners will be looking for answers. Tranche 3 Phase 3 of the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) is beginning. And it’ll be a crucial stage in the investigation into the Metropolitan police’s Special Demonstration Squad (SDS). The Inquiry has heard evidence from former undercover officers and many of those whose groups, campaigns and personal lives they infiltrated. It’s now turning its attention to the senior officers and government departments who authorised, supervised and oversaw these operations. For many of those affected, this phase goes to the heart of the Inquiry. The key question…

Palestine Action ban to stay in place as courts rule human rights protest is ‘terrorism’

The Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of home secretary Shabana Mahmood’s appeal against the High Court’s ruling that the ‘terrorism’ ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. The appeals court decided that the ban was a proportionate infringement on UK human rights and did not exceed the government’s powers. Palestine Action The judge reading out the decision based this judgment on the home secretary being better placed than the courts to decide what was needed – an anti-judicial coup carried out by judges, effectively. The interference of pro-Israel groups in the decision to ban the direct action group was ignored.…
