Man discovers batch of 162-year-old Guinness — immediately employs team to start drinking it



An underwater videographer may have a new job as a pirate after he discovered a sunken treasure off the coast of England.

While exploring a shipwreck near Dover, England, a Belgian named Stefan Panis found what appeared to be a piece of cargo that has been overlooked for more than 160 years.

'There might be more cases.'

Beer goggles

In the depths of the wreck of an English ship called the Mindora, Panis found a treasure that is likely to please historians and beer drinkers alike: bottles of Guinness from 1864.

The Irish Times reported that Panis found up to 20 bottles of the stout in 2025, but only recently connected the bottles to the ship wreckage via a cargo report.

Panis told the BBC that the beer is now with scientists who are studying to see if it is still drinkable, with the photographer citing that the same team previously tested a bottle of champagne that is just as old and was still OK to consume.

It depends on whether or not "sea water has come into the bottle through the corks," Panis said.

At the same time though, the 162-year-old beer is also the focus of a different project for Panis and his Polish cohort Paweł Truszynski, which they are calling "Project Jurassic Beer."

The duo is having the contents of the Guinness bottles analyzed to see if they can recreate the original recipe.

Bottoms up

With the help of a microbiologist from Brussels, the group wants to recreate exactly how the beer would have tasted in 1864.

Professor Kevin Verstrepen said this comes down to the yeast cells in the bottle; the group will try to retrieve living cells, but if they can't, they will take a "modern sibling" to get as close to the original as possible.

Diageo, parent company of Guinness, told the Irish Times that the Guinness Archive team "has been in communication with the divers to gather more information and evaluate the find."

"Discoveries like this provide a fascinating window into our past and help build a deeper understanding of our heritage," the spokesperson added.

As for the case of beer, Panis believes the bottles "definitely" came from a case of 24.

"But there might be more cases," he claimed.

Secret stash

The diver said that the Mindora has been searched throughout the last decade, but the beer somehow went undetected. He theorized this was likely due to sand covering his discoveries, which also reportedly included items like pickled vegetables.

The Mindora set sail from London to Vancouver, Canada, in November 1864, and traveled for approximately a week before it allegedly collided with another vessel off the coast of Dover on November 27.

Not much of the recent discovery is verified, as Panis' team did not make their dive in cooperation with official authorities.

"The story of the shipwreck is never-ending," Panis said, adding that pieces of history "appear one year and disappear the next year."

British villagers act like it's 1776, declare independence over mass-migration plans



The people of a quaint English village took a dramatic step on July 4 toward possibly seceding from the United Kingdom over the Labour government's plans to dump over a thousand military-age male migrants in their backyard.

The Home Office announced late last month that the leftist government was considering turning Ministry of Defence Bicester — an inactive military base roughly 2 miles away from Piddington in the southeast English county of Oxfordshire — into a "largely self-sufficient" destination for "people seeking asylum."

'I want my kids to grow up safe.'

The Home Office noted that the site would operate for at least 10 years; be used as a destination for single adult male migrants between the ages of 18 and 65, many of whom "arrived in the U.K. by an illegal route"; be run by "an experienced, specialist provider of asylum accommodation"; and have 24/7 security.

The BBC reported that the Home Office plans to house 1,250 migrant men at the Bicester base. The population of the migrant base would therefore be roughly 250% greater than the population of Piddington, which was 358 as of 2021.

The site, which migrants will apparently be able to enter and leave at their pleasure, would reportedly be within earshot of an existing play area for children and families.

Calum Miller, the Liberal Democrats MP for Bicester, said in a June 26 letter to the minister for border security and asylum that "this is the wrong location for such a facility."

"I cannot understand how the Government could consider this rural location an appropriate site to house over 1,000 people," Miller added.

Protesters have in recent days taken to the streets of Bicester — a town with a population of 56,200 just northwest of Piddington — to express their concerns over the safety of the nearby base's transformation into a stomping ground for foreign military-age men.

Kelsey Day, a mother who attended the protest with her three sons and husband, told the BBC, "We're not against migrants coming over here, but they should come legally."

"We don't know who these men are, we don't know where they're from and what they're about," Day continued. "I want my kids to grow up safe."

Another protester identified only as Sam blasted the use of the site as a "male-only dumping ground."

"I feel we're constantly being called racist, and that's not the case. I don't care what color you are or where you come from; if there is a risk to my children, that's enough for me," Sam said.

The people of neighboring Piddington — some of whom are not only worried about rapacious foreigners skulking around their village but about a possible devaluation of their real estate — have gone a step further in their opposition to the proposed migrant accommodations.

Taking a page out of the book of rebels across the Atlantic 250 years ago, the village voted on July 4 to hold a referendum on seceding from Britain. According to the Express, 175 adult villagers voted in favor of holding the independence vote, and only seven voted no.

Parish Council Chair Tim McNally told the Express, "We had an incredible result with almost two-thirds of the village voting — the rest were children — and an acceptance of 96%. It was truly astonishing."

"Self-determination is what people want whilst they are being ignored and driven into a corner. This is a natural human instinct and reaction," McNally continued. "The Principality of Piddington, the village that roared, will put together their council and representatives to empower themselves."

McNally's plan is to take the result to Cherwell District Council and his member of parliament and — in the event of a successful leave referendum and subsequent declaration of independence — notify the U.S. ambassador and, ultimately, President Donald Trump.

The Home Office statistics show that at the end of March 2026, 48,758 foreigners were awaiting an initial decision on their asylum claims, and 97,519 foreigners were receiving asylum support in the United Kingdom. There were 54,179 single applicants and 43,340 members of family groups receiving government support at taxpayers' expense.

UK Home Office

As of the end of March, there were 14 supported asylum seekers per 10,000 residents of the United Kingdom. In the North East and North West of England, however, the numbers are much higher — 26 and 25 foreigners supported per 10,000 residents.

In addition to the proposed migrant base in Oxfordshire, the Home Office is planning possible migrant accommodations in the counties of Essex, North Yorkshire, and Suffolk.

The leftist government has also committed to increasing the number of migrants housed at Ministry of Defence Police Wethersfield, a former Royal Air Force base in north Essex, from 800 to 1,220.

The Real Citizen Vigilantes Roaming Europe Are Armed Muslims Imposing Sharia Law

European Islamic vigilante gangs largely operate with impunity on the emotively claimed grounds of 'self-defense' from harassment by 'dangerous' white people.

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.

England's World Cup team puts Christian faith first



When England begins its World Cup run against Croatia in Dallas today, millions of fans will be watching every move, hoping that Thomas Tuchel’s side can win the Three Lions' their first title since 1966.

Such a victory would make good on the squad's famous rallying cry, "It's coming home." For a growing number of England’s stars, however, it's a heavenly home that keeps them driven to excel.

Guéhi returned for the next match wearing the same rainbow armband but with a different motto: 'Jesus loves you.'

The phenomenon was on display in March when defender Marc Guéhi captained England for the first time in a friendly against Senegal. After the match, Guéhi posted a message on Instagram thanking God for the milestone: “Thank you to the Most High.” It was entirely in keeping with a player who has previously written “I love Jesus” and “Jesus loves you” on his captain’s armband and who has spoken openly about putting God at the center of his life.

Guéhi is hardly alone.

God Squad

England’s current squad includes a cluster of openly Christian players — including midfielder Eberechi Eze and forwards Ivan Toney, Noni Madueke, and Bukayo Saka — whose habits of praying together and speaking publicly about their beliefs have earned them nicknames such as the “God Squad” and the “Bible Brothers” in parts of the British press.

To American audiences, the phenomenon may come as a surprise. The enduring stereotype of English football is one of raucous supporters, celebrity culture, and the hooliganism that scarred the game’s reputation decades ago. Yet beneath the surface, Christianity has become a visible and accepted part of life for many elite players.

Saka, one of England’s biggest stars, has made his faith central to his public identity. His Instagram bio identifies him as “#GodsChild,” and in interviews, he has spoken about reading the Bible every night and relying on prayer before matches. "God’s plan is perfect so I can go on the pitch and know that God has my back,“ he has said, explaining that his faith allows him to play with freedom rather than fear.

Prayer on the pitch

The story, however, extends well beyond England’s national team. Across the Premier League, an increasingly visible Christian fellowship has emerged among players from different clubs and nationalities. Arsenal, in particular, has attracted attention for a number of openly Christian stars.

One of them is Saka's England teammate Madueke. After scoring against Bayern Munich last season, his first words to reporters were: “I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Explaining the bond he shared with his Christian teammates (there are "about 10 of us," he estimated), he told the New York Times: “We believe we have God fighting for us."

Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber regularly posts Bible verses before matches and has earned the nickname “Pastor Timber.” “For me, it is a way of life, my faith,” he told the Athletic. “I try to live by it. We pray before games because we have a few Christians in our team, which is amazing. It brings unity and understanding because you kind of live the same life.”

Football fellowship

According to reporting by the Religion Media Centre, roughly half of Premier League clubs engage with Christian ministries, while about 80% have access to chaplaincy support. Those chaplains are not there to discuss tactics or team selection. Instead, they provide pastoral care — meeting players and staff through injuries, family crises, contract disputes, loneliness, and the intense psychological pressures of professional sports.

As Rev. Graham Daniels, a former professional footballer who now leads the organization Christians in Sport, wrote earlier this month, "At a time when many Christians feel increasingly isolated in their workplaces, there is something deeply encouraging about believers opening the Scriptures together in football clubs up and down the country."

For players like Guéhi, faith is more than private devotion. It is something to be expressed publicly, even at personal cost.

In 2024, Guéhi was serving as captain of Crystal Palace during the Premier League’s annual LGBTQ Rainbow Laces campaign, in which players are encouraged to wear rainbow armbands. Guéhi wore his, but wrote “I love Jesus” on it for a match against Newcastle United. After the Football Association reminded the club that its rules prohibit religious messages on playing equipment, Guéhi returned for the next match wearing the same rainbow armband but with a different motto: “Jesus loves you.”

Although the FA again contacted Crystal Palace to reiterate the regulations and Guehi faced the prospect of disciplinary action, the governing body ultimately declined to take formal action against either the player or the club.

Imported faith

The prominence of openly Christian players also reflects the increasingly international makeup of English football. Many stars with African and Caribbean family backgrounds have brought traditions of public worship, prayer, and church involvement into dressing rooms, where such expressions might once have been unusual. Prayer circles before kickoff and post-match thanksgiving have become familiar sights rather than oddities.

None of this, of course, means the Premier League has become a religious institution. It remains one of the world’s most commercialized and closely scrutinized sporting competitions. But beneath the billion-dollar television deals and transfer fees lies a quieter story: Bible studies, pastoral mentorship, and players who openly credit Jesus Christ with sustaining them through triumph and disappointment alike.

'Top Gear' host Jeremy Clarkson reveals devastating medical diagnosis on new show: 'Really early'



Former "Top Gear" star Jeremy Clarkson had heartbreaking news for his friends during the season finale of his new show.

After leading "Top Gear" to fantastic ratings over 33 seasons between 2002 and 2022, Clarkson moved on to "Clarkson's Farm," a show about him running a farm in West England.

'Where it is of no concern of anybody.'

Difficult conversation

In the final two episodes of Season 5, Clarkson revealed to his friends and co-stars Charlie Ireland and Kaleb Cooper that his recent disappearance was because he was getting tests done.

The show aired Clarkson having a difficult conversation with his mates, revealing his diagnosis: "I've got cancer," Clarkson said.

Cooper appeared shocked, replying, "No."

Clarkson offered a shrug and a "yep." Cooper asked, "Where?"

"Where is of no concern of anybody," Clarkson firmly stated. "I've known since May."

In the later episode, however, Clarkson confirmed to his co-stars that he has prostate cancer.

'Fingers crossed'

As reported by Variety, Clarkson said he had "disappeared off the other week," had had a biopsy done, and that the cancer is "aggressive," but it's "really early."

He added, "I'll have to go and have an operation, and then — the operation is in and out in no time — but your body's out of action for a little while."

By the final episode, Clarkson had already gone through the procedure, seemingly telling his friend that part of his prostate had been removed.

"10% of it is dead, the 10% where the cancer is," Clarkson explained, per the BBC.

"I had the op, and just fingers crossed it's worked; we don't know yet."

Carry on

Clarkson took to his Instagram page on Tuesday to say that the Season 5 finale was "really, really difficult," but it was his words in the show's last episode that displayed Clarkson's true perseverance and classic English attitude.

The season started "with me in a hospital bed and we are at the end of Season 5 and I'm back in a hospital bed," the 66-year-old said. He noted that if his treatment is "successful, I'll see you for Season 6, and if it isn't, I won't."

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



Vice President JD Vance and the U.S. State Department have weighed in on the British scandal surrounding the murder of English teen Henry Nowak and the systemic issues that Nowak's mistreatment at the hands of police have illuminated.

Quick background

Nowak, 18, was fatally stabbed in an unprovoked attack on Dec. 3, 2025, by a knife-wielding Sikh named Vickrum Digwa. Adding grievous insult to injury, Digwa told police that he had acted defensively — that Nowak was a racist who had called him a "Paki" and attacked him.

The police officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary who arrived on the scene reflexively accepted the Sikh's false claim that the dying teen was a racist aggressor, arrested and handcuffed Nowak based on those false accusations, and then dismissed his final pleas.

Digwa was convicted of murder last week and sentenced on Monday to a minimum of 21 years in prison.

Unlike Nowak's killer, the scandal surrounding his death is not going away anytime soon.

Following the release of horrifying bodycam footage showing Nowak's undignified death in the custody of members of Southampton police, multitudes of Britons took to the streets of southern England in protest, demanding the termination and/or prosecution of the officers involved, one of whom has resigned.

British politicians meanwhile sounded off about the discriminatory policies and practices that lay the groundwork for the teen's mistreatment.

The National Police Chiefs' Council announced amid the protests that it is reviewing its anti-racism guidance, which, as currently worded, explicitly calls for treating people differently on the basis of race:

Our commitment to racial equity means producing equality of policing outcomes for people from different ethnic groups by responding to individuals and communities according to their specific needs, circumstances, and experiences, with understanding that these will be racialised and with the aim of reducing harm. It does not mean treating everyone "the same" or being "colour blind" (racial equality).

Criticism from the land of the free

The U.S. State Department chimed in on Thursday, writing on social media, "Ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing are glaring symptoms of civilizational decline. They must be rejected across the West."

"The United States sends our condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom at this troubling time," added the State Department.

'He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred.'

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) stressed in response that "Henry Nowak deserved better," and BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre wrote that "it would be nice to see the State Department treat the UK as a totalitarian terrorist state oppressing its population because that’s obviously true."

The chatter in America has evidently enraged some leftists in the United Kingdom.

Ed Davey, a British politician who serves as leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons, responded to the State Department's post with apoplexy, writing, "The Trump administration is attacking our democracy. Not in secret, but openly on social media. [U.K. Prime Minister Keir] Starmer needs to show some backbone and call this out today. We can’t turn a blind eye to this blatant interference any longer."

U.S. Under Secretary of State Sarah Rogers calmly reminded Davey that Starmer and other British liberals previously opined on the death of career criminal George Floyd. She also highlighted the markedly different response between those who took to the streets after Floyd's death and those who have done so to protest Nowak's death.

"Protesters mourning Nowak have not ignited infrastructure, murdered anyone, or otherwise cut an antisocial swathe of destruction through the UK," wrote Rogers. "To the extent any of them care what America thinks, we urge them to remain peaceful — and we expect they will. Just like Henry Nowak and just like Americans, ordinary Brits have been slandered as racist. Thus violent. They’re not."

On Friday, Vance underscored in a scathing message that Nowak's death was an indictment of Britain itself.

"Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit," wrote the American vice president. "His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it."

In a message sure to prickle Starmer and others who have been clutching pearls over Reform U.K. party leader Nigel Farage's recent call for "pure, cold rage" over the Nowak case, Vance noted further, "Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response — the only response — is righteous anger."

After emphasizing that the Trump administration has taken meaningful steps to stop the flow of mass migration and defend American sovereignty, Vance noted, "It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody — nobody — should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul."

Knife-wielding Sikh reaps whirlwind after butchering English teen Henry Nowak, falsely accusing him of racism



A blade-brandishing Sikh named Vickrum Digwa has finally been brought to justice after a deadly attack on a white teenager in the U.K. who seemed to be minding his own business.

On December 3, 2025, after a night out with his soccer team, 18-year-old Henry Nowak started for his home in Portswood, a suburb of Southampton, England. While happily singing to himself and sending Snapchat videos to friends, the English teen encountered Digwa.

In an unprovoked and vicious attack, the Sikh stabbed the University of Southampton finance student repeatedly with an eight-inch blade — a blade that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, would ultimately hide in an effort to aid her killer kin.

'In the moments before he lost consciousness, [Nowak] had been handcuffed and arrested.'

When police arrived on the scene of the attack, the killer and some of his family members told officers that Digwa was the real victim — that Nowak, then drowning in his own blood, was the real aggressor and a racist who had knocked his turban off.

Officers from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary proceeded to arrest and handcuff the dying Nowak. The handcuffs were removed only after the "severity of his condition was becoming clear," police alleged.

While police clearly entertained Digwa's tall tale, the jury in the Sikh's murder trial rejected it outright, convicting him on Thursday of murder and carrying a knife in public. The murderer's mother was found guilty of assisting an offender.

In his closing remarks, prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg said that Digwa — who stabbed Nowak five times, including in the chest, in the face, and twice in back of the legs — "chose to be on the streets of Southampton with a 21cm knife. He wasn’t at a temple; he had been helping with his brother’s work for Deliveroo. This is a man who chooses to sleep in his bedroom with an arsenal of weapons. This is a man who likes weapons."

"Racism was his trump card to try to make sure what he had done was lawful. We say that was a wicked lie about a dying man," said Lobbenberg.

"This is not a case about racism. This is a case about murder."

The murderer will be sentenced on Monday.

Robert France, the temporary deputy chief constable for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, apologized for police's grievous mistreatment of Nowak as he lay dying but suggested that police couldn't have saved his life.

"I am sorry that in the moments before he lost consciousness, [Nowak] had been handcuffed and arrested," France said in a video statement on Thursday. "The facts heard in court should leave no doubt in anyone's mind who was lying to officers that night and why we didn't immediately understand what had happened."

"During the 999 call, when officers first arrived at the scene, and even when Henry's condition was deteriorating quickly, his killer continued to divert the blame, obstruct our enquiries, and never admit the serious harm which had been done," said France.

Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, British lawmakers, and others have demanded accountability from the police over what Robinson called their "f**king outrageous" abuse of Nowak.

According to France, the constabulary has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, a watchdog that will supposedly conduct an independent investigation into officers' response to the incident.

After Digwa's guilty verdict, the United Kingdom's Sikh Federation issued a statement both complaining about the "abuse and hate" the Sikh community allegedly faced during the trial and clarifying that the British law permitting Sikhs to carry a kirpan knife for religious reasons does not allow for its use as "an offensive weapon" in an act of violence.
