Why the nation of Churchill is no more

The “special relationship” between Britain and America is currently on life support. US President Donald Trump is furious with the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, for refusing to join the US and Israel in the war against Iran.

He is furious with others in the west too for similarly refusing even to help defend the Straits of Hormuz, the “chokehold” waterway which the Iranian regime is currently threatening to attack. As a result, traffic through the Straits has dwindled to a handful of tankers and the price of oil has soared.

As Trump has pointed out, the refusal of Britain, Europe and others to help defend the Straits is particularly egregious since they are vastly more dependent on the oil coming through there than is America.

Donald Trump says he is ‘not happy’ with Keir Starmer for refusing to join the war on Iran saying UK should ‘enthusiastically’ help US clear Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump today said he was ‘not happy’ with Britain and ‘very surprised’ over its response to the Iran war as he launched a fresh attack on Keir Starmer.

In his latest broadside, the US President said the UK ‘should be involved enthusiastically’ with helping American forces reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Tehran is blockading the vital sea passage out of the Persian Gulf, stemming the flow of oil and gas from the Middle East and pushing up energy prices across the globe.

End of NATO?

The Fall of Britain — and the Warning for America

Britain’s retreat from its history and identity offers a cautionary tale for an America approaching its 250th birthday.

For reasons too dull to disclose, I didn’t become an American citizen till age 26, 20 years after arriving in the U.S. from Cuba. I had to drive from Washington to Baltimore with a good friend, Tom, who would testify that I was worthy of the honor. The two of us sat outside the immigration office waiting for Tom to be called in first. I was already a rock-solid conservative by then, more so than my buddy, and we got into a deep political argument. When the immigration officer popped her head out and called for Tom, he looked at me and said, “I don’t know now.” Of course he endorsed me. But that’s how challenging it was back then to become a U.S. citizen. Today, you probably don’t even have to speak English.

The UK’s collapse to Islam is accelerating

News broke the other day that Winston Churchill’s image will be removed from the United Kingdom’s banknotes.  (American Thinker’s Andrea Widburg did a splendid job covering that and all its implications here.)

Evidently flora and fauna are less “controversial” so we will see flowers and hedgehogs on their currency instead.  That’ll work until the institutional left finds something objectionable about flowers and hedgehogs, but here we are.

Of course, any nation is free to redesign its currency at will, but this choice is consistent with the U.K.’s recent string of decisions to willingly, even lustily accelerate their own civilizational erasure.

40% of New UK Homes Could House Migrants by 2030

New analysis from the Conservative Party warns that nearly four in ten newly built homes in the UK by 2030 may be required to accommodate incoming migrants. Drawing on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the report estimates that net migration between 2026 and 2030 will reach almost 1.2 million people, creating demand for roughly 500,000 additional homes.

The OBR projects that around 1.34 million new homes will be delivered over the same period, meaning that 37.1% of all housing could be allocated to new arrivals, with the proportion rising to nearly 40% by 2030.

Britain’s Islamic Takeover Accelerates: Armed Sharia Vigilantes on Horseback Terrorize Manchester While Starmer’s Cops Refuse to Intervene

In a scene straight out of a dystopian nightmare, self-styled “Sharia patrols” on horseback charged through Manchester’s streets on March 4, 2026, chasing down peaceful demonstrators celebrating the end of Iran’s brutal Islamic Republic regime.

US approval of Britain plunges to record low

US approval of Britain has plummeted to a record low as Donald Trump supporters shun Sir Keir Starmer, new data shows.

The share of Americans who have a positive view of the UK has plummeted to 76pc this year from 84pc, according to polling by Gallup.

This is the lowest level since at least 1987 and the first time the share has ever fallen below 80pc. Over the last four decades, the number has averaged 88pc.

Britain’s Islamic Bloc Vote Warning – America, take note.

Britain’s Gorton and Denton by-election on Feb. 26 was more than just a local upset. It gave a glimpse into demographic changes that could shape U.S. politics.

The Green Party’s Hannah Spencer won with 41% and 14,980 votes, turning this Labour stronghold into the Greens’ first northern seat. Reform UK came second with 29% of the vote, and Labour finished third with 25%.

Turnout was low at 48%.

Starmer, a weakling in thrall to the Muslims

Keir Starmer – Rape, Genocide Apologist

THE WAR on Iran is not another ill-conceived Western intervention in the Middle East. It has been a long time coming. Unlike the false arguments made for the war in Iraq in 2003 and the ‘Arab Spring’ in 2011, Iran has been a continuous source of instability in the region. Without Iran there would be no Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon or Houthi action in Yemen. Settling the Sunni and Shia factions in Iraq after the Iraq war would have been much easier. And there would not have been the October 7 attacks on Israel.

The regime in Iran is plain old evil. The UK’s and Europe’s obsession with a negotiated settlement is madness. There can be no negotiation with an enemy that wishes to destroy you.

How the Royal Navy went from being the envy of the world to a shadow of its former self

The question from the Prime Minister was blunt and emphatic, and so was the answer from the First Sea Lord.

“How long would it take to assemble such a task force?” asked Margaret Thatcher on March 31 1982, as she learnt that Argentina was about to seize the Falkland Islands and only a naval armada could retake them.

“48 hours,” replied Admiral Sir Henry Leach, who proceeded to break the convention that military officers should steer clear of policy advice by telling the Prime Minister that “we could” regain the islands and “we should”, because otherwise “we shall be living in a different country whose word counts for little”.

Britain is beginning to feel like a conquered land

SO IT was an ‘important’ Ramadan moment on Wednesday or early Thursday morning. I don’t care about this. My position is that if people want to not eat during daylight hours because a psychopathic 7th century bandit and child rapist thought that was a good idea, or because imams subsequent to Muhammad have done so, it’s their primitive business and not a particular concern of mine.

But I don’t get a choice about whether I engage with this nonsense.

Trump’s new name for Starmer is his most derogatory yet

Donald Trump has described Sir Keir Starmer as “a loser” in conversations with friends, The Telegraph can disclose.

The US president was talking at a private dinner within the past fortnight when he dismissed Sir Keir with his most derogatory term yet.

A source told The Telegraph: “Trump has started calling Starmer a loser. He said it at a dinner with friends. He just thinks Starmer has no future any more.”

Britain is Trying to Censor Americans – But America is Fighting Back

Ofcom has confirmed it is referring 4chan to a final enforcement decision under the Online Safety Act. The target is a Delaware company that runs an entirely anonymous imageboard from the United States, with no offices, staff, servers or assets in Britain. The demand: install age-verification systems and content filters so that British children cannot access the site or face daily fines levied from London on an American platform. This case is not an outlier. It is the clearest real-world demonstration of what the new generation of “online safety” laws requires: private companies must build automated filters that decide, in advance, which legal speech is too harmful for minors to see. The question the regulators never quite answer is simple: what exactly does the filter catch?

There are lessons for Poilievre and Carney in U.K. byelection

Pierre Poilievre, leader of His Majesty’s loyal opposition, is visiting the King’s home turf this week, where he gave a keynote speech at Margaret Thatcher’s think tank of choice. The visit comes at a good time for Poilievre to open his ears as well as his mouth.

For the United Kingdom is deep into a period of political turmoil, one that is seeing the fragmentation of the country’s vote, with the mainstream and historically dominant Conservative and Labour parties ceding ground to insurgents from either extreme.
