Britain’s lax borders are putting women at risk

Foreign nationals are being convicted of sex crimes at a scarily high rate.

Foreign nationals have been convicted of nearly a quarter of recent sex crimes in Britain, the Telegraph revealed earlier this week.

Data from the Ministry of Justice, obtained by the Centre for Migration Control through a freedom-of-information request, show that 15 per cent of sexual offences were accounted for by foreign nationals between 2021 and 2023. A further eight per cent of convictions were recorded as being committed by ‘unknown nationalities’, which is likely to also be mostly non-Brits. In any case, this means that foreign nationals – who represent around one in 10 people in the wider population – are vastly overrepresented among sex offenders.

Tech Support Issue

Hi Folks

The site was not loading properly but we seem to have it fixed now!

It’s possible the site may be working for some but not everyone.

If you suspect the blog is not loading the most current posts use this link to break the cache – https://blazingcatfurca.dreamhosters.com/?something-random

Let me know in the comments if anything weird is going on.


At any rate the blog is nearly 20 years old and the current theme has an ongoing php issue.

I hope to have a new theme soon, but unfortunately I may have to leave 20 years of content behind in an archive site as it will be very difficult to transfer.

At some point early tomorrow morning we will reach 215,000 published posts.

2026 will be year 20.

Thank you all.

Western multicultural idiots know nothing and learn nothing: The butcher of Damascus

The new bearded Syrian dictator had declared “diversity is our strength,” a phrase that came out of Western academic departments, and he had repeated it to European foreign ministers (including Italy’s Tajani, France’s Séjourné, and Germany’s Baerbock), to the UN secretary general, to the Hague prosecutor, to the BBC director, to the spin doctor, and to other gullible Westerners.

Like the “inclusive Taliban,” the jihadists had figured out how to sell themselves to us multicultural idiots.

And so it ended: thousands of innocent people butchered because they were Alawis, Christians and others.

Ford’s meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington on Thursday provided a road map on how to proceed, sources told the Star.

… Trudeau was mentioned by the Americans as an irritant and an impediment to resolving the trade standoff, insiders said.

An Interesting, Fact-Based Perspective on ‘Gun Deaths’ We Almost Never See

The term “gun death” is fairly problematic in a lot of ways. First, guns aren’t dying, so there’s that.

Moreover, it treats all deaths resulting from a gunshot as somehow equal. We don’t see numbers for everyone who dies as the result of an edged implement like a knife or razorblade, for example. We don’t see “gravity deaths” that include people who jump off of a bridge and those tossed out of a 14th story window.

It’s just the guns.

Justice is Dead: Canada and the UK Codify Racial Bias in Sentencing (Video)

Both the UK and Canada have now codified Orwellian “equity” policies that dismantle the principle of equal justice under the law. These policies ensure that racial, cultural, and religious minorities receive preferential treatment in sentencing—while White males are explicitly excluded from such leniency.
