UK Police to ‘Intervene’ if Hezbollah Flags Flown on Al Quds Day

https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2019/05/10/uk-police-to-intervene-if-hezbollah-flags-flown-on-al-quds-day/

The Metropolitan Police “fully intends” to confiscate flags, banners and other items bearing the insignia of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization if they appear at the Al-Quds Day March through central London next month.

>Senior officers said the sight of Hezbollah flags on the streets of the capital had been an inflammatory feature of past marches because anti-Israel protesters were able to say they were supporting only the political wing, which previously was not banned.

>That loophole was closed in March when the House of Commons voted to ban all wings of Hezbollah, due to its destabilizing influence in the Middle East, classifying the movement as a terrorist organization.

>The new law also tightened restrictions regarding the display of the proscribed organization’s flags, granting the police stronger powers to confiscate such items.

Farage Calls for ‘Peaceful Revolution’ to Challenge UK’s ‘Broken’ Politics

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/04/nigel-farage-peaceful-political-revolution-challenge-broken-system/

Nigel Farage has said that the UK’s “broken” and “out of touch” political system needs to be challenged in a “peaceful political revolution” so that Britons can “win back the ability of our nation to be democratic.”

>Addressing a crowd at a Brexit Party rally in Flyde, on Saturday, Mr Farage warned that “there is something absolutely fundamental at stake” beyond the campaign for May 23rd’s European Parliament election, which goes to the very core of British democracy.

>“Can you imagine an African country, if there had been an election or a referendum that had been overturned? Many of those in the Remain camp would be having fits of the vapours, demanding the United Nations was sent in and that democracy must win through,” Mr Farage said.

>“But here in the country that has had a continuous parliament since the thirteenth century… in the country that has the mother of parliaments, it is in our very country that the very democratic process has been wilfully betrayed by a political class that has acted — in my view — in the most disgraceful, almost treacherous manner,” he said.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/01/labour-leader-corbyn-criticised-endorsing-book-claiming-jews-control-banks-press/

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wrote a foreword to a book which argued that Jews controlled banks and the media.

>Conservative peer and Times columnist Daniel Finkelstein uncovered the foreword written in 2011 by the Labour leader to the new edition of British economist John A Hobson’s 1902 book Imperialism: A Study, which includes antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about the Rothschild banking family.

>In the forward, written four years before the far-leftist became party leader, Mr Corbyn described Imperialism as a “great tome” which was “brilliant, and very controversial at the time.”

>Hobson was an influence on Lenin and other Marxists and in the book described European finance as being controlled by “men of a single and peculiar race, who have behind them many centuries of financial experience”, and claimed that “great financial houses” have “control which they exercise over the body of public opinion through the Press.”

Anglican Bishop Brands Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage a ‘Traitor to the EU’

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/04/29/anglican-bishop-brands-brexit-party-leader-nigel-farage-a-traitor-to-the-eu/

Church of England bishop Graham Kings said this weekend that Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, standing for European Parliament (EP) elections in May, is a “traitor to the EU.”

>The Hon. Assistant Bishop and World Mission Adviser in the Diocese of Southwark tweeted his approval of Jessica Simor QC, London candidate for the anti-Brexit Change UK (CUK) party, objecting to Nigel Farage, Tory eurosceptic Daniel Hannan, “and the rest” standing in the upcoming European Parliament elections.

>Ms. Simor asked: “How can they justify taking a salary and later a pension (paid for by us) for a job they do not intend to do in an institution they do not believe in?”

>The argument that people who do not support the European Union should not be represented in the European Parliament is surprisingly common among its backers.

Exclusive: Former British Afghan Commander Warns on ‘Terrible, Highly Political’ EU Defence Fund

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/04/25/exclusive-former-british-afghan-commander-warns-terrible-highly-political-eu-defence-fund/

The European Parliament has approved a multi-billion euro EU Defence Fund described as “terrible and highly political” by a senior British Armed Forces veteran, as the bloc’s plans for a European Army — once dismissed as “fantasy” — plod forwards.

>The €13 billion EU Defence Fund was approved by 328 votes in favour to 231 against, according to Forbes, and helps move forward European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker’s agenda for a Defence Union — which eurocrats have become increasingly open about since the Brexit referendum was got out of the way in 2016.

>“More defence co-operation in Europe is essential to address the growing global instabilities and cross-border threats to our security. It is clear that no country can do this alone,” claimed Elżbieta Bieńkowska, a member of the unelected European Commission, which acts as both the EU’s executive arm and the sole initiator of EU-level legislation — with the European Parliament having a subordinate role amending and approving bloc law.

>“The European Defence Fund marks a big step forward in European defence matters. By promoting a strong and innovative defence industry, the Fund will strengthen the EU’s strategic autonomy and technological leadership in defence,” she added.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/04/24/may-to-let-china-build-uk-5g-network-damaging-national-security-anglosphere-co-operation/

Theresa May appears set to approve Chinese participation in “non-core” elements of Britain’s 5G network via Huawei, delivering a blow to the Five Eyes security alliance of Anglosphere nations, reports suggest.

>The British prime minister overrode the objections of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Trade Secretary Liam Fox, and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt at a meeting of the National Security Council to allow Huawei, an allegedly employee-owned Chinese telecoms giant, to develop “non-core” infrastructure for the 5G network, according to The Telegraph.

>Digital minister Margot James has pushed back on the reports somewhat, not denying that Huawei will be involved in 5G development, but claiming that “In spite of Cabinet leaks to the contrary, final decision yet to be made on managing threats to telecoms infrastructure.”
