UK Politics

Zayed Alanzi, 26, is said to have stalked the woman before he grabbed her by the cheeks, kissed her and shoved his tongue inside.

She fought him off and then distracted him to stop the predator potentially targeting a teenage girl nearby before police arrived.

The mother said he 'would not take no for an answer', according to The Sun.

'He asked me to go up a road. I said "No. I'm going that way" and that's when the police turned up.'

'I told him I wanted to be left alone on numerous occasions.'

The married man, who was staying at the Royal Hotel in Hull, claimed the woman consented to the kiss.

However the victim insisted he was a stranger.

Honour killings in the UK primarily affect the South Asian communities, especially those of Pakistani origin, although cases have occurred involving other ethnicities including Indian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern families139.

Extent and Prevalence​

  • About 12 honour killings happen annually in the UK, mostly within South Asian and Middle Eastern families59.
  • From 2010 to 2014, police recorded over 11,000 cases of honour-based violence (HBV), which includes honour killings, forced marriages, and other abuses to protect family or community 'honour'6.
  • The UK has the highest rate of honour killings in Europe, approximately one homicide per month linked to HBV, with Britain seeing a 47% rise in honour-related crimes in 201079.
  • Cases tend to be concentrated in cities with large South Asian immigrant populations—such as London, West Midlands, West Yorkshire, and Greater Manchester—reflecting migrant community sizes3.

History and Cultural Context​

  • The first official honour killing prosecuted in the UK is thought to be the murder of Rukhsana Naz (1999), who was killed for resisting a forced marriage and engaging in a relationship of her choice9.
  • Other high-profile cases include Banaz Mahmod (2006), who was murdered by family members for leaving an arranged marriage and starting a new relationship5.
  • Honour killings are part of honour-based violence, a cultural practice with deep roots in collectivist, patriarchal South Asian communities emphasizing family reputation, strict gender roles, and control over women's behavior to maintain ‘izzat’ (honour)37.
  • Though often associated with South Asian Muslim families, HBV cuts across multiple religions (including Hinduism, Sikhism, Christianity, and Judaism) and ethnic groups1.

Patterns and Dynamics​

  • Victims are often female, but some males are also victims of honour abuse including threats and forced marriages37.
  • Perpetrators sometimes take victims abroad, especially to Pakistan, to kill them due to lower risk of detection by UK authorities1.
  • Families and communities sometimes actively try to track down victims who escape or seek help, and victims face risk even when seeking protection from social or legal services due to lack of cultural understanding17.

Issues in Addressing Honour Killings​

  • Many cases are unresolved because of community silence and reluctance of family members to testify9.
  • Authorities and service providers have faced criticism for failures in protecting victims even when warning signs emerged, as seen in the Banaz Mahmod case5.
  • Activists emphasize that 'honour' should not be associated with violence and call for deeper cultural understanding and earlier intervention5.
In summary, honour killings in the UK are a serious and persistent problem predominantly affecting South Asian diasporic communities, with a complex mix of cultural, familial, and gender dynamics driving these crimes. Despite increasing awareness and legal efforts, challenges remain due to community secrecy and cultural sensitivities13579.

UK Social, Economic and Global Market impact

The medieval mentality of honour killings—rooted in archaic codes where family honour justifies violence or even murder to avenge perceived shame—is fundamentally incompatible with the UK’s competitive edge in global markets for several reasons:

1. Contradiction to Modern Rule of Law and Human Rights:
Honour killings derive from a medieval "honour-shame" culture where violence, including murder, is perceived as a legitimate response to defend family or community honour. This mentality endorses extrajudicial violence and tribal revenge, sharply contrasting with the UK’s legal and ethical framework centered on human rights, equality, and due process167. The UK’s global economic standing depends on strong institutions that uphold rule of law, not violent personal or familial retribution.

2. Impedes Social Cohesion and Integration:
The persistence of honour-based violence often flourishes within isolated communities that reject mainstream societal norms, thereby hindering social integration and mutual trust24. For the UK’s innovative and knowledge-based economy, social cohesion across diverse populations is crucial to attract talent, promote collaboration, and maintain stability—all vital for global competitiveness.

3. Undermines Gender Equality and Innovation:
Honour killings disproportionately target women, representing severe gender-based violence rooted in patriarchal systems6. Gender equality is proven to boost economic performance and innovation. The medieval honour code’s endorsement of such discrimination and violence directly conflicts with the UK’s commitment to equal opportunities and inclusive growth critical in global markets.

4. Creates Negative International Reputation:
The UK’s status as a global business hub relies on its image as a safe and progressive society. Honour killings and the underlying mentality are perceived internationally as backward and a human rights violation, damaging the UK’s soft power and attractiveness for international investments and partnerships26.

5. Contravenes Modern Business Norms and Corporate Responsibility:
Global markets demand adherence to corporate social responsibility and ethical practices. Societal acceptance or tolerance for honour killings runs counter to these expectations, risking alienation from international business partners and investors focused on sustainability and ethical governance.

In summary, the medieval honour killing mentality—with its sanction of violence, patriarchal control, and rejection of legal norms—is entirely unsuited to a modern, competitive UK that thrives on rule of law, gender equality, multicultural integration, and human rights. Maintaining these principles is essential for the UK’s standing and success in the global economy12467.

The British Posh

Phlyo - White UK citizen:
What those not domiciled in, or familiar with, Britain and the British fail to realise about the posh British accent is that, while it may be associated with wealth, it does not necessarily indicate intelligence. It stems from groomed privilege — the divine right of kings — and ruthless cunning stealth. It is this cultivated, ruthless cunning from a position of privilege that leads to the downfall of the naive and — like many US citizens — those unexposed to a world beyond their own domiciled backyards.

Anyone who believes that Ghislaine Maxwell is not part of the divine right of kings ruthless cunning club, or imagines she possesses even a microgram of integrity, is plainly naive and deluded. Though not religious, she is the embodiment of a wolf in sheep's clothing. She is the embodiment of evil, now parading as virtue. This is rife in Britain’s so-called high society, as I’m sure it is — in different forms — in other societies

The British, reserved the right, to present this shit as respectable - fine society you can only hopeless aspire too. Heel — know your place, peasants.

The Economic, Technical, and Industrial Innovation Role of the British Aristocracy​

Overview​

The British aristocracy and titled class are often perceived as having contributed little to economic, technical, industrial, and commercial innovation. This critique, however, demands scrutiny. The historical record reveals a more nuanced picture regarding their role and influence across these domains.

Economic and Industrial Contributions​

  • Traditional Roles: The aristocracy primarily functioned as large landowners, deriving wealth from extensive estates. Direct commercial and industrial involvement was often minimal prior to the 19th century, with resources directed towards estate management, family settlements, and non-productive expenditure (e.g. country houses, social events)1.
  • Investments: While many aristocrats avoided direct business ventures, some contributed via financial investment in infrastructure, especially in transport (railways, canals), and in agricultural innovation. Yet, relative to their wealth, the entrepreneurial activity of the titled elite often lagged behind the commercial middle class23.
  • Aloofness from Industry: Scholars argue that the aristocracy remained aloof as England industrialized, maintaining an identity distinct from the business-oriented middle class. Some even suggest they imparted anti-business sentiment to aspirational classes seeking social ascension1.

Technical & Business Innovation​

  • Limited Technical Origination: Most pivotal inventions and technical breakthroughs—from the steam engine, railways, to factory organization—were spearheaded by engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs of non-aristocratic origin45. Skilled craftsmen and scientists provided the foundation for Britain's leadership during the Industrial Revolution, with the role of the titled elite being largely indirect or supportive4.
  • Business Forms and Early Patents: The formation of technical guilds and the evolution of corporation structures were sometimes under the patronage of local nobility, granting licenses or patents, rather than active innovation from aristocrats themselves6.
  • Agricultural Science: Some aristocrats promoted improvements in agriculture through implementation of new techniques, crop rotation, and scientific societies, but this was generally as enlightened landowners rather than inventors or industrialists3.

Commercial Activity and Modern Wealth​

  • Commercial Detachment: Historically, the British peerage showed limited entrepreneurship and preferred rentier income. Only small minorities diversified into banking, mining, or colonial enterprise compared to Continental or newer American elites13.
  • Recent Trends: In the late 20th and 21st centuries, aristocratic families doubled their wealth mainly through shrewd financial investments and management of estates rather than innovation or founding businesses. This underscores ongoing commercial detachment, but also capacity for wealth preservation7.
  • Persistence of Wealth: The aristocracy's economic standing owed more to inheritance, land appreciation, and investment vehicles than innovation or industrial leadership87.

Conclusion​

The British aristocracy’s contribution to economic and commercial innovation is frequently characterized as limited. While their influence as investors, estate managers, and social patrons was notable, direct origination of technical, industrial, or business breakthroughs emerged overwhelmingly from outside the titled class. Their enduring wealth reflects preservation and adaptation of assets rather than sustained innovation or entrepreneurial dynamism173.

Farage fury as cops admit ESCORTING pro-migrant protesters to Essex asylum hotel​

  • Cops have admitted escorting pro-migrant protesters (ANTIFA UK) to an asylum hotel before violence erupted.
  • Essex Police had initially denied it had brought demonstrators from Stand Up to Racism to the Bell Hotel in Epping before clashes with anti-migrant protesters last Sunday (July 17).
  • The force changed its tune after being shown footage of the activists being led by officers from a station to outside the hotel while holding placards.
  • It is due to hold a press conference later today to explain its actions.
  • Six people have been charged with offences related to the disorder.
  • It comes as the Britannia Hotel in London's Canary Wharf is currently preparing for migrants to arrive.Photos today show new beds being unloaded and carried into the hotel, in the heart of the capital's swanky docklands, and which has typical nightly rates of £104.

ANTIFA UK broadly refers to militant and organized anti-fascist groups active in the United Kingdom, which oppose far-right, fascist, racist, and neo-Nazi groups.

Key points about ANTIFA in the UK include:
  • Historical Origins: One of the early and notable British anti-fascist groups was Anti-Fascist Action (AFA), founded in 1985. It was a militant organization that actively confronted far-right groups such as the National Front and British National Party, using both physical street confrontations and community ideological struggle to reduce fascist activities particularly in the 1990s1.
  • Related Anti-Fascist Organizations: Other significant anti-fascist groups in the UK include Unite Against Fascism (UAF), established in 2003 as a coalition of various groups including the Anti-Nazi League and trade unions. UAF focuses on raising awareness and opposing far-right electoral gains and racist groups in Britain. Connected movements have also included campaigns like Rock Against Racism and Love Music Hate Racism, which use cultural events to counter racism and fascism6.
  • Nature and Tactics: Like Antifa movements internationally, UK groups employ a mix of direct street activism (sometimes involving confrontation) and community organizing to oppose fascism. These tactics include protests, rallies, and sometimes physical confrontation with far-right groups16.
  • Legal Status and Government Response: Unlike in the US where some authorities have labeled Antifa groups as "domestic terrorists" (such as US Homeland Security in 2017), the UK government has not classified ANTIFA as a banned or proscribed terrorist organization under UK law. The UK Home Office actively reviews extremist groups under the Terrorism Act 2000 and distinguishes between violent extremism and non-violent opposition to extremism. Government responses emphasize counter-extremism strategies aimed at all forms of extremism, including far-left and far-right57.
  • Current Landscape: There are multiple anti-fascist organizations in the UK, which form part of a broader anti-racist and anti-fascist tradition with historical continuity. The category of "Anti-fascist organisations in the United Kingdom" includes around 18 groups documented on publicly available Wikipedia categories, indicating a range of active organizations3.
In summary, ANTIFA UK is a loose term encompassing multiple militant and non-militant anti-fascist organizations with origins going back at least to the 1980s in the UK. These groups continue to oppose far-right extremism through direct action and advocacy. They are not officially banned or proscribed as terrorist organizations in the UK but remain under government scrutiny as part of broader counter-extremism strategies13567
