Check in: When did Britain last have a Christian in this key leadership role?



The United Kingdom is constitutionally a Christian nation.

Its king, Charles III, is "supreme governor" of the Church of England — England's established church — and an ordinary member of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Anglican bishops serve as members of the House of Lords, and the Anglican church's legislation requires parliamentary oversight.

'If we’re serious about the future of this country, we shouldn’t shy away from that heritage.'

The United Kingdom — whose flag is an amalgam of Christian crosses — is not, however, a majoritively Christian nation.

A Labour Force Survey survey conducted in summer 2025 found that only 44% of adults in Britain identified as Christian, down from 54% in early 2018. The 2025 British Social Attitudes survey found that just 5% of all adults attend a Christian service on a weekly basis.

Elements of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party and Rupert Lowe of Restore Britain have discussed in recent months bolstering or at least maintaining Britain's Christian identity. If serious about such a project, they might have to consider the matter of Christian representation in top government leadership roles.

The home secretary is the fourth most senior political office in the U.K. government after the prime minister, chancellor of the exchequer, and the foreign secretary. Yet a publicly self-identified Christian has not held the position for nearly a decade.

The current home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is an avowed "practicing Muslim." Her six immediate predecessors were either non-Christians or individuals who do not appear to have publicly identified as Christian:

  • Yvette Cooper, the current foreign secretary who in 2015 chose to affirm allegiance to the Crown rather than swear an oath on a holy book, which Christian Today noted at the time is usually done by nonbelievers;
  • James Cleverly, the current shadow secretary of state for housing, communities, and local government, who identified himself in a parliamentary debate last year as "an atheist" and "a humanist";
  • Suella Braverman, a practicing Buddhist who served in the post from Sept. 6, 2022 to Oct. 19, 2022, and again from Oct. 25, 2022 to Nov. 13, 2023;
  • Grant Shapps, a Jewish politician who was in the role for only a few days during Liz Truss' tumultuous final days as prime minister, then later served as secretary of state for defense;
  • Priti Patel, a practicing Hindu from an Indian family who migrated to the U.K. via Uganda, who now serves as shadow secretary of state for foreign, commonwealth, and development affairs; and
  • Sajid Javid, the son of Pakistani Muslim immigrants who reportedly referred to himself as a "Muslim Home Secretary" but also claimed "not to practice any religion."

Blaze News did not receive comment from Cooper or the Home Office.

While the religiosity of Amber Rudd — home secretary from 2016 to 2018 — has not been publicly advertised, there is no mystery about former home secretary and Prime Minister Theresa May's affiliation. May — in the post from 2010 to 2016 — made clear on multiple occasions that she is a practicing Anglican.

Of the current and past seven chancellors of the exchequer dating back to 2016, two have been self-identified Christians; two hail from Muslim backgrounds; one is a practicing Hindu; and the other two have kept their religiosity out of the public eye.

Of the eight foreign secretaries the U.K. has had dating back to 2016, one — Cleverly — is an avowed atheist; one — Cooper — has signaled she might be a nonbeliever; four — David Lammy, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, and Jeremy Hunt — have identified as Christians; one — Liz Truss — has said she shares Anglican values but doesn't practice the faith; and one is an apparent enigma — Dominic Raab, who has a Jewish father, was raised in the Anglican Church, and married a Catholic, has expressed uncertainty about which boxes to check for "diversity questionnaires" with regard to his family.

As for prime ministers going back to 2016, half — Johnson, May, and Cameron — have been Christian, and the other half — Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, and Liz Truss, are, respectively, an atheist, a Hindu; and what statisticians refer to as a none.

The character of these so-called great offices of state have — like the public they represent — tended in recent years not to be Christian in character. The Christian character of the nation is, however, something that politicians right of center have fixated on in recent months despite polling indicating that the public is generally unfussed about the nation's de-Christianization.

Reform's Home Affairs spokesperson Zia Yusuf said in a February interview with the Times (U.K.) that renewing Britain's Christian faith was essential to tackling the "crisis of meaning culturally," especially among young men.

Yusuf emphasized that Christianity was "core to the history and the DNA of the country" and the country was losing its Christian values because of the "sheer quantities of people that came to the country in a short period of time."

"Regardless of whether somebody is of faith or not, or which faith they follow, I think the Christian heritage of this country is very important, and protecting our heritage and our culture is important. Otherwise the country is not a country; it’s just an economic zone," added Yusuf.

Danny Kruger, a Reform UK member of Parliament, said months earlier that he would "love us to be a more confidently Christian country that acknowledges its Christian heritage. A society aligned more closely with the teachings of Jesus would be a happier one."

Reform UK is not the only outfit signaling a keenness to reverse the U.K.'s atrophying Christianity.

Rupert Lowe, leader of the Restore Britain party, stated earlier this year, "Britain is a Christian country, and under a Restore Britain Government — it will remain a Christian country."

Like Reform's Yusuf, Lowe has identified mass immigration — particularly from Muslim countries — as a factor driving Britain's de-Christianization. He has, accordingly, advocated for halting mass immigration and reversing the "islamification of Britain."

Neither Reform UK nor Restore Britain immediately responded to Blaze News' requests for comment.

Even the Conservative Party has expressed a need to return to Christianity — if not to the roots then to its fruits.

Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch stated in April, "Britain was built on a foundation of Christian values that have guided our institutions, our laws, and our sense of right and wrong. If we’re serious about the future of this country, we shouldn’t shy away from that heritage, we should be confident enough to embrace, promote, and defend it."

David Jeffrey of the University of Liverpool published a dashboard last year that provides some sense of how many members of Parliament are Christian on the basis of their public affiliation, their public speech about their affiliation, and what text they swore in on. The dashboard suggests that as of last year, 54.7% of MPs were Christian; 36.4% were nones; 3.9% were Muslims; 2% were Jewish; 1.9% were Sikh; 0.9% were Hindu; and 0.2% were Buddhist.

UK cop failures, Sikh killer's lies in Henry Nowak case are EVEN WORSE than previously disclosed



A knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa fatally stabbed 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak in Portswood, England, on Dec. 3, 2025. Adding insult to injury, police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary treated Nowak as a racist and a criminal in his final moments — handcuffing him as he lay bleeding and brushing off his repeated complaints about having been stabbed and being unable to breathe.

The British public was confronted with some of the horrific details of the murder after Digwa's murder trial last month and after bodycam footage evidencing Nowak's mistreatment by police was released earlier this month. They erupted in protest, demanding the resignations and/or prosecution of the police involved and for the justice system to rectify its anti-white protocols.

'I'm pushing on a f**king stab wound.'

The scandal not only prompted condemnations from British lawmakers but a response by Vice President JD Vance, who stated that "the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger."

Additional police bodycam footage from the night of Nowak's death and a full transcript of the encounter released by the Crown Prosecution Service and published by the BBC this week shed more light on the insidious nature of the Sikh's lies and police officers' mistreatment of the white victim.

The footage shows Digwa setting the scene after police arrived with a torrent of lies, stating:

He pushed my turban off my head. ... So I'm a Sikh, obviously, and he started grabbing on my hair, started dragging me around, and obviously from there, then obviously an altercation's happened. My brother's then seen it, stopped it, and that's when [Nowak] then started stumbling around, started climbing around all these sort of bits and bobs and stuff like that.

Digwa falsely claims further in the footage that Nowak was "obviously drunk"; that Nowak had "just started escalating the situation" and called him a "Paki"; and that the blood on Nowak "must have been [from] when we punched him."

After Digwa said that he had been "racially attacked," an officer says, "I know, I know, OK, I know," adding, "But we don't know what's gone on, mate."

Never once does Digwa mention that he used his eight-inch Sikh blade to stab Nowak five times, including in the chest, face, and twice in the back of the legs.

RELATED: Vance defends 'righteous anger' over white English teen's death in police custody after Sikh murderer falsely cried racism

The footage also shows police arrest Digwa on suspicion of attempted murder — but treating him differently than they treated Nowak. Whereas police handcuffed the dying teen, the police never bothered binding the murderer's hands.

Mark Nowak, the victim's father, said earlier this month that unlike his son, the Sikh murderer was curiously "afforded decency. He was believed. He was not handcuffed when arrested. He was not handcuffed when transported to the police station. As far as we understand, he was never handcuffed at all."

Police confirmed to the BBC that Digwa was "never handcuffed" during his four days in custody prior to being formally charged for murder.

"The contrast is unbearable," added Mark Nowak.

The BBC highlighted that the officer who spoke politely to Digwa and refrained from handcuffing him is the same individual later heard in bodycam footage saying, "Don't think you have, mate," after Nowak says that he has been stabbed.

According to the BBC's review of the full transcript, it took police officers eight minutes to discover and locate the fatal stab wound in Nowak's chest after they arrived on the scene.

Nowak told police he could not breathe nine times and said four times he had been stabbed, but the officers initially brushed off those complaints and began taking them seriously only after Nowak became unresponsive, at which point one officer states in the transcript, "I'm not sure he's breathing."

After uncuffing the unconscious victim whom they had arrested, police started chest compressions.

Around the five minute and 24 second mark, a female officer asks for a flashlight so she can properly inspect Nowak for a stab wound. Two minutes later, she finally gets around to cutting Nowak's clothing and states, "Yeah, he's got a stab ... there's a mark there."

One officer states, "That makes it worse. He's got a stab. ... I'm pushing on a f**king stab wound."

The female officer replies, "That's OK. It's fine. .... It's not coming out. It's fine. Keep going. Keep going. It's not bleeding out."

The officers continued chest compressions until a paramedic arrived on the scene, where Nowak was pronounced dead at 12:37 a.m. on Dec. 4.

The officers' handling of the case is presently under investigation by a watchdog outfit, the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe said earlier this month, "Young, white British men are bleeding to death in the street as a direct result of our racist establishment. I will never forget, and I will never forgive."

At This Point, It Will Take A Political Revolution To Save Britain

Despite voters consistently expressing concerns about cultural replacement, Britain's leaders dismiss grassroots opposition as bigotry.

Liz Wheeler: Britain’s rape gang scandal could not have happened without help



The horrifying details from Britain’s grooming gang scandal have been revealed through the "Rape Gang Inquiry Report" — and BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler finds it all almost impossible to comprehend.

“My mind has been spinning for hours because I can’t read the account of this sexual torture of young children,” Wheeler begins.

“What was done to these girls in Britain, these young white girls, 250,000 of them, is actually beyond the scope of human imagination,” she says.

“How did this happen?”

And Wheeler believes there's only one answer to that question.

“The scope of the crimes that were committed is so widespread and so extreme that the only explanation is that it was allowed to happen,” she says.


The girls were as young as 11 years old and were “systemically raped and trafficked by Muslim men in Britain.”

“We know this because of the ones who have been charged, 87% of these perpetrators who have been convicted were Muslim,” she explains.

“This is not a generalization. This is not a negative stereotype. This is not bigotry or Islamophobia or whatever the left is going to accuse us of engaging in for simply acknowledging what is happening here,” she continues.

According to the report, these men worked through “organized networks of perpetrators” who “built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men.”

The report also explains that “police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalized victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail.”

Social care services even placed children “in trafficking hubs,” “closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers.”

Meanwhile, the National Health Service recorded genital injuries, STIs in children as young as 13, pregnancies from rape, suicide attempts — but still discharged these children back to their abusers.

And when politicians were asked about the abuse, they did nothing but reverse the blame.

“The mayor, Sadiq Khan, London mayor ... when he was asked publicly about these allegations, said that it was fake, that they were false allegations. And he turned it around, and he blamed the victims and ... falsely accused them of being politically motivated,” Wheeler explains.

However, a Daily Express report revealed that Khan had access to documents from the police detailing the crimes.

“It’s almost beyond comprehension to understand how someone could see this happening and not turn their life upside down to try to stop it,” Wheeler says.

Britain On Edge As Clerics Mull Future Of Caliphate

After the sudden resignation of their leader The Right Honourable Caliph Keir Sheikh Starmer bin Mohammad, the British people are waiting nervously to see who Muslim elders will choose as his successor. Starmer bin Mohammad served less than two years as Prime Minister under the British Emirate of the Islamic Caliphate of Western Europe, which […]

'History will not remember him kindly': Brits celebrate as Keir Starmer resigns — but replacement could be worse



Liberal politician Keir Starmer announced his resignation on Monday — just hours after President Donald Trump let the cat out of the bag and faulted the British prime minister for failing "badly on two very important subjects — IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY."

Critics celebrated his downfall, fellow travelers romanticized his time in office, and Starmer's putative replacement, Andy Burnham, called for an "orderly and responsible" transition.

'I couldn’t have predicted how quickly he would reveal himself as the most incompetent Prime Minister this country has ever had.'

Starmer, a deeply unpopular leader whose job disapproval rating has hovered around 76%, characterized his nearly two years in office as a success, stating, "We changed our party, ripping out the poison of anti-Semitism, restoring trust on the economy, defense, and national security, and becoming a party that once again stood proudly with, not against, our national flag."

After suggesting that he had taken steps to "change Britain for the better" — "to build a fairer country with dignity and respect, where everyone is seen, everyone is valued" — and reiterating London's support for Ukraine, Starmer noted that his party has made clear he is not the individual "best placed to lead us into the next general election."

"I accept that answer with good grace," said Starmer, the U.K.'s sixth prime minister since July 2016. "Every decision I’ve taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July."

A Labour leadership election would ensure that Starmer is replaced before the British Parliament returns in September. Starmer said he would remain in office until he is replaced.

The Labour Party has been roiled in recent months by a civil war.

Ninety-six of Starmer's 402 Labour members of parliament demanded the prime minister's resignation last month after the party suffered significant losses — a net-loss of 1,229 seats out of a total of roughly 5,000 — in local elections, while Reform UK saw tremendous gains.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood reportedly urged Starmer in early May to establish a timetable for his departure.

The infighting did not go unnoticed by opponents in parliament.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, for instance, stated late last year that "the PM has shown he is in office but not in power."

'Digital ID was to be foisted upon people regardless of their wishes.'

Starmer's ultimate decision to throw in the towel — just days after he and his party were blasted in the 219-page "Rape Gang Inquiry Report" — was welcomed by Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe, who stated, "He has been a truly disgraceful Prime Minister. I do not believe him to be a good man or a patriot. He has deliberately and rapidly accelerated the destruction of our Britain, of our home. History will not remember him kindly, nor should it."

"I sat in Parliament, looking him in the eye, listening to him attempting to justify his decision to block a national inquiry into the mass rape of young British girls," continued Lowe. "I will never forgive him. For that, and so much else."

Labour politicians voted against a national inquiry into grooming gangs in January 2025. Starmer's spokesman stated at the time, "We will be guided by the victims and what we’ve heard from the victims is that they don’t want to see another national inquiry."

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wrote, "The Prime Minister is finished. I have to give Starmer some credit: even I couldn’t have predicted how quickly he would reveal himself as the most incompetent Prime Minister this country has ever had the misfortune of having."

Farage, who has demanded a prompt general election "at the soonest possible date," countered Starmer's success narrative with a list of some of the Labour government's apparent misdeeds over the past two years:

The party started by trying to steal from pensioners, while simultaneously refusing to take action against welfare cheats. Rachel Reeves raided your pay packet to throw money towards public sector fat cats. Promises to “smash the gangs” were hollow, as illegal migration through the Channel hit record highs. Digital ID was to be foisted upon people regardless of their wishes. Hardened criminals were released from prisons back onto your streets. The Chagos Islands were nearly handed over at a cost to the taxpayer, and farmers were hit by a death tax.

The Free Speech Union also welcomed Starmer's exit, noting, "He has led the most authoritarian government in more than a generation, unleashing an unprecedented assault on free speech. Indeed, he seems determined to make social media censorship his legacy."

The FSU, like Farage, pointed out, however, that the Labour Party's likely replacement may be just as bad as, if not worse than, Starmer.

Starmer's most likely successor is Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor who handily won a special election on Thursday, thereby securing a seat in parliament and a viable pathway to the head of the Labour Party.

A radical leftist who welcomes mass migration, Burnham is also an Islamophile who:

  • opposed the U.K.'s counter-extremism program as "toxic" for supposedly discriminating against Muslims, whom he said feel "unfairly targeted";
  • rushed to downplay the religious nature of the May 2017 Islamic terror attack at the Manchester Arena that left 22 people dead and 1,017 injured, noting that "the person who did it in no more represents the Muslim community than the person who killed Jo Cox represents the white Christian community"; and
  • supported the adoption of a definition of "Islamophobia" that claims it is "rooted in racism."

Other candidates are, according to conservative politician David Frost, variations on a theme:

All the likely candidates, just like Starmer, are creatures of the same political class. All have devoted their lives to Labour politics and none appears to have any meaningful non-political hinterland or wider interests beyond pop music and football. They all support Burnham-style state‑led regionalism, they all see the state as capable of resolving all society’s ills, and they are all in their different ways steeped in corporatism and the trade unions. All are pro-EU and want to reverse Brexit. And of course all are hostile to "populism."

Burnham thanked Starmer on Monday for his "leadership and dedication during such a challenging period" and emphasized the need for the transition process to be "conducted in an orderly and responsible way."

"People want to see progress on economic growth, cost of living, public services, housing and opportunities for the next generation," wrote Burnham. "Political change should never distract from the responsibility to improve people's lives."

Liberals at home and abroad did their apparent best to paint Starmer's short stint in office in rosy colors.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, for instance, said Starmer "can be proud of the contribution he has made to the country he loves."

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, claimed that "it can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman [Starmer] became in just two years," adding that Starmer had helped make European and Ukrainian security stronger.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed that Starmer "is a man of great integrity" who has "made a huge contribution to the Labour party and our country."

This migrant predator report is worse than you think



A shocking Rape Gang Inquiry Report on Britain’s grooming gang scandal has exposed widespread sexual abuse at the hands of immigrants that’s been allowed to continue for years with little to no mainstream reporting, and BlazeTV host John Doyle is among the few sounding the alarm.

“If you live in London, your backyard; if you live in the southwestern part of the United States, this stuff is actually happening. This is not just, like, some fun mythology you get to talk about where you’re connecting dots and patterns,” Doyle says.

According to the report, girls as young as 11 were targeted by perpetrators from Pakistani Muslim and other Muslim backgrounds who “operated under an honor- and shame-based clan code that treated non-Muslim girls, especially white working class girls, as property available for sexual use.”

“I’m sure it’s surprising to people who are actually finding out what we’ve known for literally over a thousand years, for 1,400 years, that you can’t actually co-exist with people. They’re not actually peaceful,” Doyle says.


“And yeah, we find out that this literally happened to the tune of 250,000. And local media is not even reporting on it. What should be maybe the biggest scandal of all time is not being reported on by mainstream news,” he says.

“Genuinely I struggle to think of a governing body more evil than what is going on right now in England,” he adds.

The report details the NHS’ recording of “genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts.”

“The rape statistics rising so spectacularly, it literally boggles the mind. Something from about, you know, 8,500 to 70,000 in the time this report is seeking to expose,” Doyle comments.

“This is easily proven, by the way, statistically, as England is now quite literally the rape capital of the world. Currently sits at the highest rate. It’s like 117 per 100,000. And it’s pretty much entirely because of what can be described as an invasion of Britain by foreign hordes,” he explains.

“And maybe that per capita number isn’t enough, because from the inquiry they found that over 250,000 women had been victimized, with 87% of them being victimized by Muslims. And it’s not like the other 13% were all just, like, white British guys,” he continues.

“No, actually that was also mostly just, like, the non-Muslim immigrant groups like Nigerians, Indians, what have you,” he says. “And it’s incredible, too, because the very same leftists who have already facilitated and planned exactly this outcome for decades, they exist in a Venn diagram that’s literally a bubble with feminists who would very much also want to portray the face of rape as being, like, some white frat dude.”

'Beyond evil': Nightmarish report reveals full scale of mass Islamic rapes of '250,000' white British girls



The staggering scale of the crimes committed against generations of young white girls in Britain by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs is detailed in a damning independent report unveiled on Tuesday by Rupert Lowe, the head of Restore Britain in the U.K. Parliament.

The 219-page "Rape Gang Inquiry Report" explains in horrific detail how, starting in the 1950s, predominantly Muslim men developed organized networks in the British Isles that "transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men."

'They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white.'

The estimated number of white girls subjected to "repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma" is "at the very least, 250,000," said the report.

These crimes occurred in at least 149 local authority districts across the U.K. and are known to have taken place in the following counties: Derbyshire, Devon, Dorset, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Norfolk, Yorkshire, and Warwickshire.

Lowe's report — on the basis and recommendations of which he and other lawmakers now expect "His Majesty's Government" to take action — underscores that the horror of these crimes was compounded not only by the perpetrators' religious and cultural justifications and the pervasiveness of the crimes but by the widespread and decades-long failure of virtually every institution charged with protecting the victims and holding the offenders accountable.

In many cases, it appears that those who could have done something about the exploitation of children by marauding members of immigrant subcultures were more sensitive to the perceived need for political correctness than to the needs of the victims.

The report notes, for instance:

  • "Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail."
  • "The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abuser."
  • "Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them."

One of the sectors whose failures most stand out is Britain's social services, which the report claimed "undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers."

In one particularly egregious case highlighted in the report, a girl named Chloe was around the age of 13 when she told social workers that she was being sexually abused by gangs of Muslim men.

"Social services did not intervene, but rather talked to Chloe about contraception and sexual health," said the report. "One social worker started regularly taking Chloe to a sexual health clinic, where she was diagnosed with chlamydia in her throat and vagina, gonorrhea, genital warts, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Neither the social workers nor the clinic staff questioned or reported this."

'Authorities at every level, as we have seen, feared being labelled ‘racist’ or ‘Islamophobic’ more than they feared failing the girls.'

The report noted that in a separate case, the social worker of a girl who was raped and abused from the age of 13 while living in a children's home in Bradford not only ended up attending the victim's forced Sharia marriage but permitted the perpetrator's parents to foster the victim after she became pregnant, thereby enabling them to receive a fostering allowance from the state.

Prosecutors are assigned a great deal of blame in the report for allegedly holding suspects in grooming gang trials to a different standard than native Britons, refusing to invoke racial aggravations despite evidence showing that suspects described their victims as "white slags," "white trash," and "kuffar bitches," while boasting also of racial supremacy.

"Kuffar" or "kafir" is an Islamic theological term used to describe non-Muslims — sworn enemies of Islam who will supposedly be thrown into hellfire by Allah.

While the British media, of course, also did its apparent best to downplay the scandal, the report notes that "political failure lies at the heart of the scandal" — that successive governments, especially Labour governments, "lacked the will to confront the ethnic and religious patterns."

"The concern to shield Muslims from criticism at all costs went hand in hand with a more general ideological shift organised around the unquestioning treatment of minorities as special victim groups," said the report. "Rooted in the Left-liberal paradigm of the 1960s, this minoritarian outlook first scored political victories under Harold Wilson’s Labour government."

Wilson, a Labour politican, served as prime minister from 1964 to 1970 and again from 1974 to 1976. His regimes not only focused on racial matters but legalized abortion; made divorces easier to obtain; abolished the death penalty; and legalized homosexual acts.

The report continued:

In time, tolerance, multiculturalism, and anti-discrimination became highly prized values in elite circles. The law, too, began to foster an environment in which challenging certain minority communities, including Muslim ones, became politically dangerous and even criminal. This enabled the grooming gangs to operate with impunity for years because authorities at every level, as we have seen, feared being labelled "racist" or "Islamophobic" more than they feared failing the girls to whom they owed a duty of care.

Among the pieces of leftist legislation that over time precluded or at the very least dissuaded law enforcement from pursuing any "action that could be construed as targeting ethnic minorities" was the Race Relations Act 1965, the report claimed.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, another Labour Party politician, is accused in the report of making matters worse by overseeing the consolidation and strengthening of so-called "anti-discrimination" protections, particularly the addition of religion as a protected characteristic alongside race.

"Combined with hate crime legislation under Part III of the Public Order Act 1986 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, it created an environment in which criticising aspects of Islamic culture or patterns of offending linked to Muslim communities could be framed as ‘racial hatred’ or ‘Islamophobia,'" said the report.

Blaze News has reached out to the Starmer government, the Tony Blair Institute, Restore Britain, and Lowe for comment.

'This is not homegrown. We imported it.'

As the grooming gangs became more brazen, British officials seemingly became more captive to political correctness.

The report minces no words on this point, stating, "Liberal elites in media, politics, and the public sector internalised the idea that acknowledging cultural or religious factors in crime was itself a form of bigotry. This mindset actively shielded the rape gangs by discouraging the very inquiries and interventions that could have saved thousands of children."

While the language of the report is measured, Lowe let loose on X, accusing those politicians who failed to prevent the development of apparently rapacious "parallel societies" inside the U.K. over fears of "being called racist" of setting the stage for the spread of "alien cultures" that, "in short, treat women and non-Muslims like s**t."

Speaking to the findings of the report, Lowe said, "Vulnerable working class white girls were treated like a piece of meat. Raped, abused, tortured, murdered. It was a racial attack, and it was a coordinated attack. All across Britain. They targeted these girls because they were vulnerable, they were young, they were white. Until the political class accepts that fact, nothing will EVER change."

Not one to beat around the bush, Lowe noted that the perpetrators and their ilk "do not live by the same rules as us — it is all beyond evil," adding, "This is not homegrown. We imported it. We welcomed it. Embraced it. We continue to do so. That was a choice. Reversing it is also a choice."

"The Rape Gang Inquiry Report" identifies the following as next steps for the powers that be:

  • publish the inquiry's full witness statements;
  • seek out further witness statements;
  • name those who enabled the rape gangs; and
  • continue initiating civil proceedings and private prosecutions where appropriate.

In the way of remedy, Lowe apparently has some additional steps in mind, namely removing millions of foreign nationals "who hate our way of life and have no reason to be in our country," and reintroducing the death penalty and using it against child rapists.

Louise Casey, a British official, was commissioned last year to produce a national audit on the grooming gang scandal. Her final report, which was published last June, claimed that "the ethnicity data collected for victims and perpetrators of group-based child sexual exploitation is not sufficient to allow any conclusions to be drawn at the national level."

Casey's report noted, however, that there was sufficient evidence in local police data across three jurisdictions to "show disproportionate numbers of men from Asian ethnic backgrounds amongst suspects for group-based child sexual exploitation, as well as in the significant number of perpetrators of Asian ethnicity identified in local reviews and high-profile child sexual exploitation prosecutions across the country, to at least warrant further examination."

In Britain, the term "Asian" is often used to refer to those from the Indian subcontinent, which includes Hindus and Muslims from India and Pakistan.

'F**king madness': UK police detain Tommy Robinson — again



There is today perhaps no greater thorn in the side of the British liberal establishment than counter-jihad activist Tommy Robinson.

The 43-year-old son of an Irishwoman and an Englishman has proven time and again that he is able not only to draw crowds numbered in the tens of thousands but to focus British working-class fury over the fallout of mass immigration, the failure of multiculturalism, the threats posed by radical Islam, and the efforts by the powers that be to cover up and/or contain various related scandals.

'This is an attack on free speech.'

In the wake of his criticism over the horrific death of 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak at the hand of a Sikh in England and the near-beheading of Scotsman Stephen Ogilvie by a Sudanese suspect in Belfast, Robinson found himself once again in police custody under the British equivalent of the Patriot Act.

Robinson noted in a Saturday post on X, "I'M A TERRORIST AGAIN. I have been detained at Heathrow Airport today for the best part of 3 hours. I was detained under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019."

Under schedule 3 of the counter-terrorism law, an examining officer "may question a person for the purpose of determining whether the person appears to be a person who is, or has been, engaged in hostile activity" if that person is at a port or in a border area and appears to be entering or leaving the country, or if that person is on a ship or aircraft that has touched down in the United Kingdom.

"Hostile activity" is defined as acts threatening national security, acts threatening the economic well-being of the U.K., or serious crimes carried out for or on behalf of a foreign power.

Per the legislation, it is "immaterial" whether the detainee is "aware that activity in which they are or have been engaged is hostile activity."

Robinson claimed that his phone had been seized by police — just as it had when he was detained by Kent police under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act while attempting to travel in July 2024 to Spain, where he now lives.

The Westminster Magistrates' Court determined in November that Robinson's previous detention under the Terrorism Act was unlawful and cleared the activist of the corresponding charge.

According to paperwork dated Saturday that Robinson was provided with and later shared online, an examining officer at the airport seized the Englishman's iPhone and Samsung Galaxy A16 on suspicion that the devices "could be used in connection with the carrying out of a hostile act."

"Absolute f**king madness," Robinson wrote.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the BBC that a man in his 40s was stopped under the counter-terrorism law at Heathrow Airport after returning to the U.K. from Russia via Turkey.

Robinson — who met with Elon Musk's father, Errol, while in Moscow — told the Guardian last week that he had traveled to Russia "to see how this country got itself so well on to the straight and narrow and see the beauty of a civilized society."

The Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated that the man stopped on Saturday "was interviewed by officers and his communication devices were seized. He was subsequently released."

A spokesperson for Robinson speculated that police confiscated the activist's communication devices because "they likely want to see who he is talking to, and maybe find out who his sources are, sources who will expose politicians for their part in the rape of a generation of British girls."

"This is an attack on free speech, this is an attack on investigative journalism, nothing more nothing less," the spokesperson added.
