The advent of Christ’s birth came and went with no controversy to speak of, but Christians today find themselves at the wit and whim of everyone who has an opinion on something. The modern story of persecution against believers is littered with a spectrum of petty argumentation to serious attempts at destruction.
The main culprits live in Africa, but the spread of it is a guilt that lives up to its name in other parts of the world. It’s copied and pasted here by any number – and any manner – of people who take to their pen as much as others take to their ‘sword’ to punch a hole in the safety and security of Church worship.

The fact is, though, Christians have an advantage at present. The times have turned into a more conservative outlook, and even if leaders like President Obama and President Macron have liberal credentials, they both epitomise a way to look at things that’s calm and reasoned.
In politics, then, ground is gained by those that pursue a similar type of engagement. The lacklustre feel of protest and the overwhelming pressure of hardcore litigation is something that can be left behind for a more serious handling that seeks community over conflict.
The upswell of support for alternative parties is driven in part by a need to say a little along the lines of democratic needs. It supplements the warfare of tired dictators in the Middle East, and makes life feel much safer than those in crime riddled closed states. The option provides a way to say it like Jesus did.
The recent, local history of political activism has a strange story to tell. It’s not about paedophilia (no right wing activist I’ve met is a pervert). There’s no simpleton involved (most can read academic texts). No one really gives a toss about becoming a Prime Minister here (they all hate the office, anyway).
The ins and outs is more like a drama written by Home Office staff than anything out of Ireland during the troubles.
I’ve spoken to social workers that have a lot to say about it. They usually have to pick up the pieces of activism long after people have lost interest in it. I can’t read their notes but it shows on their faces. The truth is telling, here.
On approach
Speaking to people that are doing it is a difficult work. I’ve received training from professionals, but the fact of it is a wrench all the same. The subject matter is far from the mainstream than any have reported. The thoughts and feelings are mixed up in awkward ways.
Tommy Robinson, in his demeanour, is a clear example of what it means to be a right wing agitator.
Doctors agree with me that none of them will ever make it into politics here just as they are. They simply don’t want to do it. The responses to investigations that’ve been successful reveal a preoccupation with local areas, not politics.
Robinson talks about Luton as often as he refers to London. His hometown (as he puts it) is as meaningful as the centre of all political disagreement itself. It speaks to him more of who we really are than what we say.
Not mental health
The rough and ready look they have is a genuine raffishness that comes out of their mentality.

They also don’t claim to be able to fix things. This is something they know politicians say is possible but their sympathies are on the side of journalism. The mute response of editors or the carefree inquiries of broadcast presenters puts them off believing in society.
The run ins with newspapers has jettisoned Robinson into the limelight just as it’s supposed to.
The response is the effect that’s desired for the hardcore men and women of the people that come out of our communities to challenge the times. It fits a public dissatisfaction with the way things are, and fulfils a need to rage that’s reflected by ordinary people in pubs up and down the country.
Their corner
The reason is to pack a punch harder than many feel capable of or few are willing to give. This drives online media content and sustains an offline interest that draws crowds out into the open.
While Reform UK has no alignment with such priorities, the prior activity of some of its figureheads has infrequently looked familiar. The basis is a tradition, though, and anti-racism groups have come out in strength and number to push back against it again.
The point is that a corner is taken up and as many as are willing to join it can enter the fray.
It’s a far cry from the pointed moments in Westminster when laws are passed. Even if researchers believe some of our cultural ‘ways’ come from its existence, there’s no laid down law regarding what results out of it. The effect is never orderliness but just chaos and intrusion of division.
Russia is hellbent on creating chaos in Ukraine, invading its space and suffocating its skies. It’s a sophisticated attempt to throttle a modern democracy, overthrow its leaders, and settle the state into a new direction.
Apart from the atmosphere in Moscow, though, it’s nothing more than a mad scientific experiment to other people.

The analytics side of newscasting can’t see it adding up. Russia’s national security needs aren’t tied to Ukrainian elections. Democracy doesn’t creep across borders. Putin is being paranoid.
The depth of his rhetoric also suggests a superficiality to the campaign itself. With the Wagner chief now dead, and intellect Alexander Dugin in flight, Putin is increasingly isolated.
The mad professor moment has come to a stop. The military must withdraw and Russia has to enter its stalemate position again. Such dynamism isn’t its forte. Europe has better things to do. It’s the end.
In a stunning admission for our times, the King has accepted blame for the widespread disruption in Europe caused by a mixup between GCHQ systems and those of the Royal Navy. It’s believed he’s alleged to have ignored warnings in senior meetings, leading to a loss of activity and foresight on the matter.
The basis of protest in England is really an activist community that refuses to go away. They live out of whole buildings, stymie political activity as a day job, and ridicule social standards by their relentless ignoring of rules.
The streets protests are the worst feature of a growing subterranean rot of personal belief and generative self-expression. This isn’t human rights or aid assistance, but a quasi-legal tremor against the foundations of our democratic system.

The support it gets from outside parties is telling. Every Russian crime gang of note knows about its lived-in aspect in London. Many African militias are regular inquirers into its remit of activity.
Those that don’t act to stop it aren’t just risking economic activity but also the regard of the population of London and beyond. There’s scant support shown for its regular interference in the life of the UK’s largest city, and its self-supporting claims are fallacious.
The Internet has a darker side, so they say, but there are lighter moments. Social media has come through as a breakthrough in ‘humour sharing’, or, the pastime of sharing a favourite joke, blooper clip, or image that represents a joke or a punchline.
As hype bubbles increase, so does the notoriety of the content being shared. Entire industries comprising millions of followers have come out of simple shares, posts, or viral moments online.

Comedians are also popular, but a users’ sense of humour is the point now. The reaction options pose a potential for encouraging more content by sharing, by example. Known as a ‘content shop’ in many local English areas, an online media collection is a profitable and socially beneficial pursuit.
Even companies have jumped on the laughter bandwagon. Domino’s is a regular poster of humour jargon, as trends are followed by employees to be reflected in posts.
In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a new accusation is being made against “Palestine Action” before its pending Supreme Court session date in November.
It’s believed activists from the terror network are guilty of leaving a “vital” piece of equipment from the Iran embassy in a central London location.
The item is not necessarily specifically declassified to Western intelligence, but sources say it plays a “huge role” in keeping an embassy safe from neutral threats.
The idiosyncratic accusation comes amid reports of repeated rape attempts by the network’s members because Iran’s leadership hasn’t acted militarily against Israel to stop its war in Gaza.
The terror network has designated the situation with Israel as “desperate” and instructs Foreign Office staff accordingly. It’s then repeated in public forums.
Just as Nigel Farage MP (Clacton/Reform UK) prepares to return to Parliament, Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives) – his nearest rival for Number 10 – has been cleared of Council Tax evasion by London-based authorities.
Farage is looking to grow a support base for Reform UK to build momentum and win future general elections. If it’s to take on the Conservatives and Labour in Parliament and win big, he has to see off the competition.
“The fact Badenoch hasn’t been caught out shows her integrity, but to some extent it shows we don’t really know her anyway.
The Conservative party is lost, broken, and divided, and we’re ready for more of this. Reform UK is on the rise.”
Nigel Farage MP/Reform UK.
Today, Badenoch is safe from public execution by faithfulness in her financial affairs. Farage knows it, but feels jaded. It’s far from his own sense of accountability. He believes the episode is over, but his bid is only in the beginning stages.
His own finances may be under review by authorities in Parliament, but he’s confident about the future. His own need for security is beyond doubt. The transactions have been transparent and the funding is credible. His next task is kicking Labour out of power.
The MI6 HQ building in London is an imposing affair. It looms up large and stands out from the crowd. The area around it is a busy, multipurpose metropolis. There’s no hint that inside Vauxhall Cross a lot of secret work is done.
The staff that work there have data to look over. There’s systems in place to support missions overseas. The purpose-built structure has capabilities for working that don’t exist anywhere else in the UK. It’s a really sensitive site.

As a centre for spying it operates as a vital part of the overall safety and security of the UK. It cannot be overlooked. The support it gives is so vital to us. Many nations have their own version but no single one is the same as the other.
The way MI6 staff look out on the world is a part of its secrecy. The core of it would be the missions that make sense to the stability of government functions and the way society lives here. In a way, freedom is a reality due to its work.
The news media pipelines have been under maintenance for some time. In offices and in newsrooms there has been talk of fundamental changes underway.
It’s not just matters of style but also issues of substance. The obvious reasons are there. Social media has opened up endless news gathering opportunities. The context of public statements has become more engaging.
There’s no such thing as ‘old fashioned’ just yet. Newsprint has improved its position and digital is playing the catchup game in places. Other outlets have shown a digital-first approach can work if the support is there.

The navigation of legal realms is proving to be a driver of interest in news. Professionals have become an engaging audience for editors and data is proving to be a big hit where current affairs matter.
In politics, as society moves meaningfully beyond protest events to regular debating as a more dynamic practice, writers are able to pull on the underlying reasons and causes of things.
But more fundamental has been the increase of just anyone taking a look at what there is to know and what people are saying. The business of the ballot box is big news for proprietors and investors who see clicks and views up ahead.
Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives) is not fighting for her career after it emerged a scam entity has been trying to implicate her in a London-wide campaign of harassment and intimidation.
It now emerges that a new entity, known as ‘National Security Centre’, has targeted her as well as thousands of others in a scam involving false accusations and compensation claims by local authorities.
A small number of ‘activists’ for the group were spotted yesterday manoeuvring a vehicle outside London Waterloo in a stunt designed as a setup for a media round involving UK production companies to canvass for support.
Badenoch is not currently under suspicion but an investigation may have already started.
In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a friend and alleged “accomplice” of GCHQ Director General Anne Keast-Butler has been spotted loitering with a criminal contact in a London park.
She’s believed to have mental health difficulties and is on a watchlist compiled by insider intelligence authorities.
Keast-Butler is under accusation of misusing government software and technology for her own gain, and is being investigated for continued harassment of key community leaders using GCHQ systems to hide her criminal activities.
A suspect alleged of ‘helping’ Anne Keast-Butler to interfere with government systems for criminal gain.
Her notorious undertakings have been likened to Emma Richmond, exposed by this site as a prolific housing criminal.
GCHQ underpins the technical side and intelligence basis of the UK’s government, supporting its friendly existence and vital basics for democratic activity and the leadership of elected politicians here and around the world.
The sad turn of events has shocked staff and led to calls for her replacement as Director.
