Ivan's Big Umbrella

I want to speak honestly and frankly about something that almost everybody in British politics is too frightened to even brush past: the growing influence of Islam in Britain, and what that means for our culture, our laws and most importantly - our future. We have to look at the reality of what is happening at a societal level, and the way in which a political and cultural ideology is shaping large parts of our country. Britain was built on a strong Christian moral foundation. Our freedoms, our laws, our institutions - they are all rooted in that heritage. What we are seeing today is something very different. Entire areas where British culture has been pushed aside. Parallel systems of law and authority operating quietly, although increasingly loudly, in the shadows. Fear and intimidation silencing criticism, even in Parliament and the media. It’s not even multiculturalism in many areas of Britain, there is one culture - Islam. Sharia law roles being openly advertised on Government platforms, 85 Sharia courts operating around the country, millions of animals brutally butchered alive. All to avoid offending Muslims? I don’t care about that. This is Britain. We do things a certain way. We must not change that to appease one religion. When elected politicians are afraid to speak the truth about the rape gangs because they fear being accused of ‘Islamophobia’, that tells you that something is profoundly wrong. Local councils and police pathetically bend over backwards to avoid upsetting ‘community leaders’. This attitude helped to enable the mass rape of thousands and thousands of white British girls, mainly by gangs of Pakistani Muslim men in towns and cities all across the UK. If we had the courage to confront these facts then, it would not have happened on such a vast scale. I promise you that. I am deeply concerned that we are sleepwalking into a future where our own culture and laws are gradually eroded, not through a sudden revolution, but drip by drip through cowardice, appeasement, and political convenience. The growth of the Muslim population means on current trajectory - this is a question of when, not if. Look at how part of England have changed already, in just a few decades. Rochdale, Bradford, Luton, large parts of East London. I could go on. The Government’s entire approach to Gaza is driven by a desperate attempt to cling on to the Muslim vote in dozens and dozens of these constituencies. The agenda is being driven by an organised, religiously-driven bloc vote. That's just a fact. Starmer will evidently do nothing. Farage talks of an inevitable loss if we alienate Islam, he doesn’t even believe halal slaughter should be prohibited. It's weak and it's pathetic. The Tories? These issues disappointingly spread so widely and deeply under their watch. And you think it’s bad now? After the next election, it will get worse. And the election after that? Worse again. We need to protect our culture and legal system without apology. We need to draw a clear line. One law for all - no parallel systems, no special exemptions for Islam. We need to assert that Britain is a Christian country, built on Christian values, and that will not change to accommodate any other ideology. Ban Halal slaughter. Ban Sharia courts. Ban the burqa. Ban hate-preachers. Be assertive, set an example. Deport those foreign Islamists who hate our way of life and want to do us harm - we will not tolerate such intolerance anymore. Stop appeasing cultural practices that clash with British law and values. Halt malign foreign funding of mosques. Strip citizenship from dual nationals involved in Islamist extremism, and deport them too. Above all, we need to be honest. Because if we cannot even speak about this issue openly, we have already lost. Restore Britain will do just that. I hope you consider joining if you want to support us in that mission. We must unapologetically restore confidence and belief in our own identity, our own culture and our own laws.
