ACCORDING to The Yorkshire Rose, a British podcaster, activist and YouTuber who reports on migrant hotels, she has been named in Prevent documents on a list of potential far right terrorist threats. Prevent is the umbrella term for Britain’s official anti-terror policies, co-ordinated by the police and intelligence services, and the documents they create are supposed to be the best-informed British assessments of terror threats.
The authorities, then, are worried about a campaigner against migrant hotels. Because she publicly opposes British taxpayers paying for asylum seekers to stay in hotels. She’s also been arrested four times in connection with her reporting on these asylum arrangements.
The particularly interesting part for me is that among others such as Paul Joseph Watson being on this list, the short segment shared by The Yorkshire Rose includes TCW, for which I write alongside academics, doctors, philosophers, politicians and humourists from the UK and elsewhere. TCW (as Conservative Woman) is listed on a page headed Far Right Influencers and Networks, and described as a ‘radical right conspiracy theory website, that, despite its name, has majority-male contributors’ (yes, this supposedly serious assessment really does read like a spoof).
TCW reported months ago that a defamatory briefing – you could call it a hate crime if you were woke – based on this Prevent material was presented at a specially convened Essex County Council meeting last June.
TCW was founded by and is edited by Kathy Gyngell (an Oxbridge graduate, former TV editor and think tank research fellow). It hosts social conservative, Christian and family values as an antidote to excessive and progressive social liberalism. It provides a platform for critical thinking and for challenging ‘mainstream narrative’ on the issues of the day: perspectives that reflect belief in patriotism, colour-blind equality before the law, low taxation, sensible economic management, individual liberty, national sovereignty and above all freedom of speech. All of these are opinions held by millions of people in the UK.
It runs articles like mine, which believe in the general conservative principles given above, but also address how extreme and censorious the ‘mainstream’ has become, or those of people like Professor Norman Fenton, who bravely spoke out on his topic of academic expertise regarding covid policies and is now an excellent voice on anti-Semitism in the UK.
It is totally independent, supported by small voluntary donationswithnone of the dubious financial backing and none of the extremist hypocrisies of a mainstream media outlet, or indeed of hard left activist organisations such as BLM, Hope Not Hate, or street-level leftist thugs like Antifa. Unlike mainstream newspapers, it has never fabricated or paid for fabricated and completely malign ‘evidence’ and presented that as news, as the Mirror did in relation to fictitious claims of abuse and misconduct by British soldiers, and unlike the BBC it has never paid the family of a senior Hamas official to make a documentary or had its own employees in another documentary splice and doctor footage to present a lie.
In other words this publication supports normal patriotic, conservative and independent commentary, a ‘far right’ that advocates for personal freedom and supports Jews.
Which of course isn’t ‘far right’ at all.
The only reason that TCW would be on a Prevent list is because it is critical. Those who write for it are (to a man and woman) deeply critical of the current government, of similar globalist governments, and of open borders and mass migration and the existential threat they pose. Such factually informed criticism of government appears to be verboten.
Thisis enough, apparently, to attract the attention of the UK intelligence services, who have presided over a situation where 40,000 Islamists are on watchlists but not imprisoned or removed from this country, where terrorists could easily hop on a dinghy or into a container and get to the UK, and indeed where we even have, apparently, a convicted actual terrorist running for election.
But that’s not to say those who formulate our anti-terror policies are inactive. Far from it. While Muslim terrorists run for council seats, and that is perfectly fine, Prevent has noticed the scourge of 1980s ‘far right’ television content. I kid you not.
In earlier examples of the abject nature of Britain’s anti-terror strategy, which desperately tries to pretend the threat to Britain comes from articles that like border laws rather than from Islamic suicide bombers, knife attackers and fundamentalist clerics, we saw Prevent documents listing watching Yes, Prime Minister or Great Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo as proof of far right extremism. Yes, Prime Minister was Margaret Thatcher’s favourite TV show. Michael Portillo was a Conservative minister. One wonders if any ‘right’ is allowed to exist at all, without being ‘far right’?
This is what happens, I suppose, when borderline communists are your ‘mainstream’ government. Conservative publications with no links to violence are featured in Prevent training documents and sessions while convicted Islamic terrorists run for office.
Nevertheless, this is the first time I’ve been personally labelled by the UK’s anti-terror strategy, since I’m a frequent TCW contributor.
Liking Donald Trump, national security and personal freedom is my extremism, and it’s been judged, along with that of those who dislike us importing child rapists into the country, or those who believe that women don’t have a penis, or those who subscribe to other ‘far right’ notions that five minutes ago were generally referred to as common sense.
Common sense is a criminal offence, apparently, in Sir Keir Starmer’s UK.
Meanwhile the US faces domestic terrorism (actual violent attacks on federal authority) funded from a CCP-aligned billionaire, which British media and the British government, slightly more tacitly, support. Indeed, it’s hard to find any mainstream media commentary on Trump or his administration that isn’t stochastic terrorism and isn’t incitement to violence. All of which contrasts strongly with the supine approval given to an actually oppressive regime, China. Britain itself is being aligned with Communist China by our Prime Minister, who has also just approved a Chinese super-embassy with easy access to our key financial data. Perhaps you have to be ‘far right’ to consider that worrying?
Of course bands, celebrities, left-wing voters and leaders are all free to support Hamas or the IRA openly without being put on a list of hard left potential terror threats. Some time ago, a Labour councillor called for people to go out and ‘cut their throats’ regarding people he had designated as ‘far right’, and that person walked free from court, having been judged innocent despite his call for murder being an open and literal one that was filmed and recorded.
This case established the legal precedent in the UK that left-wing commentators and politicians can call for murder, so long as they designate those to be murdered as ‘far right’, ‘fascists’, or ‘Nazis’. The most extreme expressions of left-wing hate are considered innocent, while the least literal expressions of right-wing frustration are considered guilty.
This, then, is how I became a Far Right ‘terrorist’, or at least an incidentally included ‘terror threat’. By writing the truth and having the same opinions as millions of my fellow citizens, indeed, by opposing support for terrorist groups and those who use political violence. The dangerous bit, I suppose, comes from knowing that support for terrorism, real extremism, includes our government, both now and when that party was led by the IRA-loving Jeremy Corbyn, or many other mainstream (but leftist) respectable organisations, who get to back violence and welcome violence into our country far more than I or TCW ever have.
