Brendan O’Neill – The Spectator April 16, 2026
Explain this to me. Why is it that a gathering of mostly white working-class men protesting about a rape is met by a line of menacing riot cops, and yet a gathering of primarily non-white youths running riot on a high street is given the kid-glove treatment? Following the events in Epsom last night, this query should be on everyone’s lips.
The scenes in Epsom, Surrey were extraordinary. In response to reports of a rape, a large crowd gathered to express their fury. A local woman reported being stalked by several men after leaving a nightclub before being subjected to a sickening assault outside Epsom Methodist Church. Surrey Police say they do not have “sufficient information” to release a description of the suspects.
It was this that piqued the anger of locals. Many fear information is being withheld. Some no doubt suspect it was migrants who carried out the attack and the cops are being cagey. Of course we have no idea as to the identity of the suspects. They may well be local men. Yet the suspicions of the crowd are understandable, given officialdom’s lethargy these past few years when it comes to revealing the immigration status and ethnic origins of perpetrators of sexual crimes.
The police response to the agitation in Epsom was swift and unforgiving. Tooled-up riot officers formed a battleline against the angry men. The high street was a sea of navy helmets. Their shields raised, their visors down, the police seemed to view the Epsom locals as the enemy within – a lowly mob that might explode with frenzied rage at any minute.
Contrast this with the scenes in Clapham just two weeks ago. Gangs of masked teens swarmed the high street there. They menaced shoppers. They nicked stuff. There were reports of emergency workers being assaulted. And as some observers noted, the riotous juveniles were mostly non-white. The police’s response to that mayhem? Well, they issued a dispersal order. And that was about it.
There were no riot cops. There were no lines of officers slowly impelling the delinquents off the streets. The approach seemed to be: “They’re just letting off steam. They’ll tire soon enough.” We need to talk about this, no? About these strikingly different police tactics where the chief consideration seems to be less what the crowd is doing than who they are.
People use the term “two-tier policing”. I’m starting to wonder if that’s a little too soft. It seems to me we face an even more troubling prospect: a new kind of political policing, the slow transformation of the police from a body charged with keeping the peace into a body whose prime role is to enforce the diktats of identity politics. Have our police forces become the armed wing of chattering-class ideology, the truncheon-wielding implementers of “progressive” moralism?
It feels undeniable now that the identity of protesters – and even more strikingly their class – impacts on how the police decide to deal with them. So white working-class men in Epsom are treated to a mini Battle of Orgreave, while the swarms of affluent socialists and cranky Islamists who spent nigh-on three years marching for the destruction of the Jewish state were given free rein.
Think about the oddness of this disparity. Sure, the men in Epsom got a little rowdy, but their demands were pretty reasonable: give us information. Meanwhile, on those soulless trudges against Israel there were frequent cries for violence against the Jewish nation and instances of vile racism in which Jews were likened to Nazis or branded “baby killers”. Yet Epsom gets truncheons, while the Israelophobes get kid gloves.
How do we explain this other than as a reflection of ideological prejudice within the police? Drunk on identitarianism – like so much of the establishment – perhaps they have come to see “rough” working-class men who are worried about immigration as Bad and keffiyeh-sporting leafy leftists and their Muslim comrades as Good.
There are numerous examples of cops enforcing correct-think. Think of those people who feared a knock on the door from the boys in blue over their scandalous belief that men cannot become women. Or the dystopic vision of officers dancing like loons at Pride festivals. Or the truly chilling events in Birmingham last year, where police barred Israeli football fans from an Aston Villa game pretty much at the behest of mobs of “anti-Zionists”, some of whom were threatening to take to the streets in blind rage if those dastardly Jews turned up. It was the clearest example yet of a police force willingly making itself into a weapon of fashionable bigotry.
This is not to diss all police. Many do a fine job, and a thankless one. Personally I would like to see more of them on the beat. But, institutionally, something feels off. We live in an era of asymmetrical multiculturalism, where minority groups are encouraged to take pride in their history and culture, while the majority is urged to feel uneasy about its own. That even the police seem to have imbibed this baleful and hypocritical ideology is not surprising, but it’s shocking. It will sow injustice.
Fury over the Rothschild Green Party Zack Polanski’s ‘mad’ plan to hand migrants £19bn every year
Story by Aaron Newbury
Immigrants would be given a regular cash payment by British taxpayers without needing to become citizens, under plans drawn up by the Green Party. Documents reveal that the left-wing idiot outfit, currently polling at 18%, would hand a monthly payment of up to £1,600, called Universal Basic Income (UBI), to anyone in the country without settled status, or who have a non-visitor visa. The party’s boss, Zack Polanski, said such a scheme would be worth around £1,200 to £1,600 per month. Setting out his plans in a 2024 article for the Big Issue magazine, he said: “A universal basic income policy is simple yet transformative: it would ensure every citizen receives an unconditional recurring payment. While the exact amount is up for debate, it would broadly align with the minimum wage – around £1,200 to £1,600 per month..”
Figures released by the Migration Observatory suggest that as of 2024, just over 1 million non-british nationals are likely to hold temporary non settled leave to remain in the country. It would mean at the higher end of the UBI amount the treasury would need to pay out £1.6bn a month, or £19.2bn per year, to pay for the policy.
Starmer on the brink as every party leader calls for him to quit over new Mandelson revelation
Story by Katie Harris, Martyn Brown
Sir Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign from every party leader after it emerged Lord Peter Mandelson failed security vetting several times before becoming US ambassador. The disgraced former Labour Peer was initially denied clearance – weeks after the Prime Minister had officially announced his appointment.
The Foreign Office deployed a rarely-used power to override the recommendation from security officials. But the Government said that Sir Keir was not aware “until earlier this week”,
The row began when Mandelson’s ex boyfriend Wes Streeting was cosying up with kier Starmer, the Epstein spy files show
they all shared young rent boys,
Starmer had previously insisted due process was followed in the appointment, and that Lord Mandelson had lied about the extent of his links with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and his own dalliances with teenage rent boys
The Labour leader has also said the vetting carried out independently by the security services “gave him clearance for the role”.
Nigel Farage said it shows the PM “blatantly lied” and called for him to resign.
The Reform UK leader said: “Keir Starmer said in February that the security services had given Mandelson clearance for the role.

Points
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells CNBC’s Sara Eisen at the Invest in America Forum on Wednesday that the Trump administration expects banks to comply with a mandate to collect citizenship data.
Kiet Starmer is expected to bring this in in the UK later this year
Banks are required to collect information through “know your customer” rules, but have pushed forward with this plan. But Bessent told CNBC, “If Treasury and the banking regulators say it’s their job, it’s their banks in the U.S. to collect citizenship data on customers,
The thrust will be to collect info on antisemites, E G those who disapprove of the Gaza situation, they will find they are debanked
and lose their accounts, other forms of punishment are being considered, such as being banned from voting, the USA Patriot Act also underpin efforts to verify customers. Banks collect Social Security numbers, or an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, names, dates of birth and addresses, among other documents, their scope and power will be increased
An executive order that has been discussed for months took a step closer to reality earlier this week when Bessent said in an interview with Semafor that agenda is “in process.”
The planned EO is one more plank in President Donald Trump’s broader effort to tie his immigration policy to collection of information in the United States, including for voting and Census efforts.
In the U.S., citizenship documents are not necessary in order to open a bank account. Banks are required to verify identity
The UK will follow on later in the year
Rothschild said the U.S., like many countries, uses “know your customer” rules for bank accounts to prevent money laundering and other forms of financial crime, verifying client identities, assessing risks, and monitoring transactions to prevent fraud. Laws including the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act also underpin efforts to verify customers. Banks collect Social Security numbers, or an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, names, dates of birth and addresses, among other documents.
BBC NO LONGER WANTED
‘Licence fee is at end of life’: BBC insiders’ despair as channels could close
Story by Adam Sherwin
Channels could close, propaganda and news bulletins may be cut back under a drastic BBC downsizing move called an
“end of life” moment for the licence fee. The public dislike of the BBC having homosexual abusers in its ranks
the latest exposures of Scott Mills Freddie Starr Fred Talbot David Frost and Trevor Eve, have sickened viewers
and the old W W 2 soldiers slogan of ” bullshit time ” is seen as very evident
Racism is a constant with the BBC the Alf garnet series making fun of the men who fought w w 2 for the government
was a very low point.
Since the mid 1930s the BBC has been a Rothschild operation
so viewers say let him pay, we pay interest on his loans interest alone £ 5000 per second
Staffers warned that a “hollowed out” BBC would be unable to deliver for audiences under the “savage” cuts announced this week, which would see one in 10 employees – up to 2,000 people – lose their jobs The closure of whole channels in order to make savings of £500m over the next two years was not ruled out by interim director-general, ho.
The £66m a-year youth channel BBC Three, the broadcaster’s most expensive channel per user hour, would be in the firing line, insiders said.
The announcement some time back of a ambassador for childrens TV being the pervert singer boy george sickened viewers
it was only his appearance in court for the kidnap rape and beating ofa rent boy which meant he had to be dropped
Rolling news and local radio also face further cuts, senior figures said, as the BBC moves spending from “linear” channels to making shows for iPlayer and YouTube, the first choice for younger viewers who question the need to pay the £180-a-year licence fee.
He lost me when he started going on about the Jews and Israel. Yet again, another article that devolved into ‘poor Jews’ propaganda.
> The scenes in Epsom, Surrey were extraordinary. In response to reports of a rape, a large crowd gathered to express their fury
No they didn’t. A simple question: Would you?
Apparently in epsom, they’re all “civic minded”. In any case, real or not, “DEMONstrating” is a waste of time.
Everyone was probably “celebrating” the 40% of new “houses” (boxes) going to “immigrants”, all the university places going to “immigrants”, the “initiative” to “lower your council tax” if you have murderous “immigrants” in your “home” (box), and all the glories of “diversity” that every single victim knows so very well.
It seems to me that everyone wants to be part of a “one world” cesspit, as long as they think they won’t suffer under it – or better yet – they can make “money” from it. You can see how lovely it’ll be to be part of such a lovely relationship by going to any city, or to china, or north korea, or vietnam, or the second most deadly place to live in all the world: south africa.

bastards
A minor point:
“Britain’s ‘two tier’ policing becomes more evident after locals gathering to protest a rape in Epsom…”
I would prefer the British English idiom:
“Britain’s ‘two tier’ policing becomes more evident after locals gathering to protest AGAINST a rape in Epsom…”
I note the continuing kowtowing to transatlantic sensibilities. In truth, Americanisation might have a counterweight in how British idioms are taken up across the pond, and indeed language naturally does change. Nevertheless, some of us do favour a more conservative approach to the use of our language. IMO, it is the thin end of the wedge of deferring to American hegemony…
I proudly confess to having never used the word “cool” to describe anything other than temperature…

China has for the first time urged Iran to ensure the safe passage of its vessels through the Strait of Hormuz amid
fears of the months-long blockade hitting Beijing’s economy, but beleives Trump is as mad as a hatter, and should not be under the thumb of the terrorist stae
Chinese diplomat Wang Yi spoke to his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araqchi and urged him to restore normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, the Chinese foreign ministry said.Mr Wang said while Iran’s sovereignty and security in the strait should be respected and safeguarded by china, freedom and safety of navigation must also be guaranteed. He added that the situation is at a critical stage of transformation and that a window for peace is opening.
told my son a good jewish boy, you will marry the girl i choose for you
he said ” no way dad”
I told him the girl i had in mind was Bill Gates daughter
My son said ” Oh thats OK dad ”
I called Bill Gates and said i want my son to marry your daughter
Bill gates said ” Definately Not”
I told Bill Gates my son is a personal freind of Rothschild and CEO of the World Bank
I then called the President of the World bank and asked him to make my son the C E O
he said ” NO”
so i told him my son is Bill Gates son in law and was considered breifly as CEO of the world bank
He said ” well as hes kosher, then yes of course”
Thats how politics works.
There’s worse to come. George Galloway has reported on the case of the six people charged with criminal damage against an Israeli arms company in Britain. Those six people if convicted will be sentenced as if they’d been convicted of a terrorist charge even though they are not charged with terrorism, and the jury isn’t being told that, and the media has been prevented from reporting it.
This state of affairs only came to light when Zara Sultana (MP for Your Party which Zara jointly-formed with Jeremy Corbyn) announced it in parliament under parliamentary privilege for which she cannot be prosecuted, and reported on in the US by Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone.
All for Israel.
LOL..
this right here:..
‘So white working-class men in Epsom are treated to a mini Battle of Orgreave, while the swarms of affluent socialists and cranky Islamists who spent nigh-on three years marching for the destruction of the Jewish state were given free rein.’
Of course the speccies a zionist tool trading in agit prop…now all of a sudden it’s concerned with working class white men and uses the on message activist hack o’connel to deliver it.. of course the ‘teens’ on a shopping spree in Clapham weren’t affluent socialists or even islamists*…they were blacks..but one can see how these maggots reframe to diddle the hard of thinking..
this of course is the zio right blathering…
* the pro palestine org’s are proscribed terrorist organizations..which just goes to show the old adage ‘two jews three opinions’ illustrates how the dialectic occurs..especially on pirate rock..
I almost agreed with the article as everything you stated was FACT up until you started defending the Genocidal JEWS! This BRITAIN we are NOT JEWS! Speak for Britain and sod the circumcised Genocidal NAZI’s. I am neither a lily liver liberal or Muslim. I am what the media call Far Right for wanting my country back. As for the Muslims Many fought and died alongside our military and on a recent return to Liverpool could see many of those names near the Albert dock alongside British hero’s .What I didn’t see was Jewish name because THEY were the REAL NAZI’s just like they are showing again now!
It is astonishing to see how easily certain police officers disregard their oath to uphold the law and to keep citizens and the neighborhoods safe, all because of the dark, dank waters of identity politics. What other parts of that oath will they next discard??
Time to vote out those public leaders who disregard the safety of the very citizens they campaigned, asked and pleaded for their votes to get in office to begin with.
An insightful article until the author begins lamenting the treatment of Jews. Why do so many insist on babbling on about Jewish ‘victimhood’? These people are not victims. They are an extremely privileged, powerful minority exerting disproportionate influence on British finance and banking, the education system and government policy. The victims are the indigenous British and their kinsmen in Scotland, Ireland and Wales who are being oppressed and replaced by a government obviously dedicated to implementing the Kalergi plan of subtle white disenfranchisement and genocide.
Stop harping on Jewish ‘victimhood’. It is an insult to those under the boot of the globalists.
The piece started out well enough, then the author shit the bed in epic fashion when the sniveling cucked imbecile loudly declared he stood with Mordor and the abject wickedness of jewry. Brendan O’Neill deserves to be whipped in the street, his mouth stuffed with wads of pig shit, and get a copy of the talmud forced up his ass.
That being said, there is something deeply wrong and deeply disturbing about the way police operate in Britain. That starts at the top of the apparatus, and every commander deserves to be chased through the streets and hanged. It really starts further up of course, where the police command gets their marching orders, but the cops in charge have a duty to say f*ck you and protect the good citizens rather than serve the system of satanic inversion.
And the hi-viz street droogs following orders that should be utterly repugnant to them deserve to get chased through the streets as well, beaten to pulps, and liquidated…same with the drooling jews engineering the whole shit show…

Only three – six more weeks of oil supplies in England. Then no electricity, no petrol, no airflights, starvation begins – even if the Staight of Hormuz were to totally open TODAY (18/4-26).
rememeber how the police lied over the Nicola Bulley case
they hid up the blurry figure ofa man following her because he was coloured
i wonder if it would have been hid up if he was white ?
