Police car flipped over in Leeds as disorder breaks out

A mob has overturned a police car in Leeds, West Yorks, after smashing its windows with bicycles, bats and a pushchair.

The violence erupted in Harehills at about 5pm on Thursday after police officers were called to attend an incident involving agency workers and children in Luxor Street.

Sectarianism is playing a growing role in Western elections. In the UK, several ‘pro-Gaza’ independents were elected in former Labour seats in this month’s General Election. All of them were supported by an organisation called The Muslim Vote (TMV), and all stood as essentially single-issue candidates. Many others supported by TMV, such as Akhmed Yakoob in Birmingham Ladywood, reeled in huge support and came close to unseating prominent Labour MPs. These races were tainted by intimidation and harassment-heavy campaigning, largely directed at Labour candidates accused of being insufficiently critical of Israel.

As Tony Blair put it, “what do you leave behind?”. Demographics, stupid.

Everyone knows this, but the fool who only wants to see his own finger believes he is entitled to dispute what is obvious and to accuse the wise man who points to the moon of “racism”.

Before the 2022 Champions League final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, football champion Thierry Henry (father of Guadeloupe, mother of Martinique, not a white supremacist) shocked public opinion by saying that “Be careful, the stadium is in Saint-Denis, not in Paris,” only to add: ““It’s near Paris but trust me you don’t want to be in Saint-Denis. It’s not the same as Paris, trust me.”

In a couple of weeks, an estimated 15 million tourists will visit Paris for the upcoming Olympic Games. Around 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will compete for sporting glory. But there are growing security concerns over the threat posed by Islamist extremists due to a massive surge in recent days of Islamic State (IS) propaganda about attacking stadiums.

For years, national security experts and freedom activists have sounded the alarm about Muslim Brotherhood activity in the United States, only to be tarred and dismissed as hysterical “hatemongers” and “Islamophobes.” Now, however, an internationally prominent former Brotherhood activist has confirmed the warnings. Is he, too, a “hatemonger” and “Islamophobe?”
