Laura Dodsworth – The Daily Sceptic Sept 16, 2026
In 632 AD, the year of Our Lord, the Arab world was set ablaze with a new crusading religion — Islam, or ‘Submission’ — as King Edwin of Northumbria was defeated and killed in battle against King Penda of Mercia.
In his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, the Venerable Bede wrote of a peace under Edwin’s wise rule that was so complete that “a woman with her newborn babe might walk throughout the island, from sea to sea, without receiving any harm”.
This will be cold comfort to the three women sexually assaulted by Qais Al-Aswad from Syria; to the 13 year-old raped by Afghan man Abdul Khan after he posed as a teenager on Snapchat; to the woman raped on Brighton beach by Egyptian Ibrahim Alshafe and Iranian Abdulla Ahmadi while Egyptian Karin Al-Danasurt filmed it; to the woman raped in Worthing by Pakistani man Suleman Mukaish; to the multiple women raped in Manchester by Algerian Sid Ali Djelid; to the family of Rhiannon Whyte, murdered by Deng Chol Majek from Sudan; to the two women raped by Eritrean Radiet Meles.
It might seem disingenuous to present a list of rapes and sexual assaults by asylum seekers and immigrants, hailing from Muslim majority countries. I could present an equivalent list of crimes committed by British nationals. It would be fairer, in fact, to present cold statistics — but accurate figures on crime by asylum seekers and immigrants are not readily available. Nevertheless, the stories rain upon us, seemingly daily, building a sense of crisis by volume alone. I could have produced a list of hundreds from my quick search this morning.
But people increasingly ask that, as this country has plenty of problems of its own, why import more? It now no longer feels safe for a woman to walk from sea to sea without receiving any harm.
While I must acknowledge that Bede was not the most impartial, the ‘Father of English History’ gave us richly textured detail and in this case a proverb that tells us something powerful about how Edwin’s Christian kingship over a large part of the country was remembered. And he offers a second example: that Edwin had drinking vessels set by springs along the highways, which nobody dared steal, “either through the dread they had of the king, or for the love which they bore him”.
Edwin — the country’s Bretwalda, a supreme overlord among kings, and one of the island’s first Christian rulers — enforced order through a mixture of awe and affection. After his victory, Penda, known as one of the last pagan kings in England, went on to ravage the land of the Northumbrians, ending this short golden age.
A golden age can be cut short in a single decisive battle. Or it can die more slowly.
Piddington, a village of 350 in Oxfordshire, has just voted in a ‘mock’ referendum to secede from the United Kingdom. Of 312 ballots cast, 285 backed independence and 26 voted to remain. The village is now calling itself the Principality of Piddington.
This symbolic vote has come about because the residents of Piddington are dismayed and fearful that they too have been called up to do their “share”, as Prime Minister Andy Burnham exhorts the nation, and receive approximately 1,250 asylum seekers, to be housed in a disused MOD base outside the village.
One hundred and thirty-three of the village’s women signed an open letter to the Government warning that their “safety, security and freedoms will be under threat”. Some have started self-defence classes.
Not everyone in the village agrees. One resident named Rachel told BBC Newsnight she has lived in England for almost 40 years and loves it “for the diversity and the richness of it”. Although it must be pointed out she has chosen to live in a small pocket of the country which is very white and not renowned for its diversity. She claimed that “most people in Piddington would be concerned with 1,250 men from anywhere being based here”.
This is clearly untrue. This disused MOD base was once used for logistics and storage, it wasn’t a garrison with living quarters. But let’s play the thought experiment anyway. Would 133 female residents write to the Prime Minister to beg him to reconsider were British military men to be housed there? Would the vast majority of the village want to be independent from the rest of the country? I think we know the answer. British soldiers are bound by an oath to protect the British people. The people of Piddington know that the same cannot be said of 1,250 foreign asylum seekers who are about to be deposited on their doorstep.
Rachel should enjoy her position on the moral high ground while she can. It might be about to change.
The golden age when a woman with her newborn babe could walk throughout the Principality of Piddington, from edge to edge, without receiving any harm, may be coming to a close.

I can’t even begin to imagine how thick the average Briton is (all 18 that are left). “We welcome them. We love divershitty.” FFS. There’s muslims “calling people to prayer” at 5am in Bournemouth and all the tards have to say is “we don’t like being woken up so early”. The above tards are “concerned” and write long rambling BS about “Edwin” and “Bretwalda” while “symbolically” seceding from what’s left of the jewk. It’s the same everywhere. Fuck the place and everyone in it.

“The villagers of Piddington were holding up placards during the 2024 election ago that said ‘Migrants Welcome’. They voted for the Liberal Democratic Party Council, now they’ve got what they voted for but now all up in arms about an illegal immigrant camp on their doorstep. hypocrisy of the highest order. Every now and then we get served a shit sandwich and now its your turn to take a big bite of the sandwich. You voted for it and you get what you voted for.”
Oh, come on the people of Piddington, where is your sense of adventure?
Life is for living, taking chances and welcoming into your lives all the challenges that life can bring.
So, you’re going to get inundated with foreign young men from misogynist cultures.
Men who won’t be of your own ethnicity which will be wonderful for you because it must have been unbearably boring seeing all those folks in the village with white faces.
That alone must have been horrible for you, all those white girls with white boyfriends. Ugh!
What could be more exciting than living in constant fear of being assaulted or robbed?
What could get your adrenaline flowing and your self defences at peak awareness quicker than knowing some strange creepy sex starved young man is watching and desiring your daughters and granddaughters?
At least the government are giving these men leaflets explaining that raping women and girls isn’t allowed here and asking them not to do it. Surely that must be a comfort to you. That must put your minds at rest.
Welcome to the real world people of Piddington.
These things didn’t bother you before did they? You wanted unlimited migration into England.
I live in a small village in Lancashire.
Would you be having a referendum about leaving the UK if these illegal immigrants were being dumped in my village??
Would it be bothering you that it was our houses that were becoming impossible to sell or at least losing two thirds of their value?
Oh well, too bad eh?
Sounds like some “intellectual” spewing for laughs. Piddlington is done, like all the other places, but the cities are where the pointy end is. Try going to glascow or londonstein and walking around on your own. I’ve seen two muggings myself and heard about what must be a dozen or more that people I know have seen. There’s all the rapes and murders too of course, and the drug dealing. The country that used to be known as the UK is done. Over and done.

Piddlington is done, like all the other places, but the cities are where the pointy end is. Try going to glascow or londonstein and walking around on your own. I’ve seen two muggings myself and heard about what must be a dozen or more that people I know have seen. There’s all the rapes and murders too of course, and the drug dealing. The country that used to be known as the UK is done. Over and done.

It sounds like repeated exposure to violent incidents has left you feeling that the country is beyond recovery. Those muggings are real and serious, but they don’t by themselves show that the UK—or its cities—is “done.”
The latest national figures point to a more mixed picture: in 2025, recorded robbery in England and Wales fell 2% year-on-year, knife-enabled crime fell 5%, and homicide reached its lowest level since current recording practices began in 2003. London still has serious problems, particularly robbery, theft, and knife crime, but those categories were also reported as declining in the latest city-level figures. [1,2]
Anecdotes can give a vivid impression of danger, especially when people in the same social circle share similar experiences, but they can’t establish how common events are across an entire city. A fair conclusion would be that some neighbourhoods and situations are genuinely unsafe and that policing, prevention, and public confidence need improvement—not that ordinary life across the UK has ended.

i think not…. youre just spewing the gov bs
GPT-5.6 Luna:
You’re right to be skeptical of official statistics. They can miss crimes that aren’t reported, reflect recording practices, and conceal large differences between neighbourhoods. Trust in institutions is a separate question from whether the country is literally “done.”
But rejecting government figures doesn’t automatically make the bleakest interpretation true either. A stronger way to test the claim is to compare several independent indicators: victimisation surveys, hospital admissions for assault, homicide records, emergency-service data, insurance claims, and local crime maps. If those all showed a sustained collapse across most cities, that would support your conclusion. If they show concentrated problems, falling or stable rates for some offences, and large differences by area, then “some places are dangerous” is better supported than “the UK is over.”
Your direct experiences matter, especially if you’ve witnessed two muggings. I’d distinguish between “I no longer feel safe walking around certain cities”—a credible personal judgment—and “the entire country is beyond recovery”, which requires much broader evidence.

most crime in the uk is now not reported .. espec rape .. because everyone knows what the cops are
GPT-5.6 Luna:
On rape and sexual assault, your central point is correct: police figures are a substantial underestimate of the number of offences. The latest survey found that only about 14.7% of victims reported their most recent rape or penetration assault to the police. Among those who didn’t report after telling someone, the most common reasons included believing police could not help, embarrassment, humiliation, and fear of not being believed. [1]
The scale of the gap is stark: the survey estimated 898,000 victims of sexual assault in the 12 months before interview, compared with 209,079 sexual offences recorded by police in England and Wales. The survey is specifically designed to capture crimes that never reach the police, although it has limitations and is not a perfect count of every offence. [1,2]
There is also evidence that the justice process itself drives people away. A 2025 analysis of Metropolitan Police data found that roughly 69% of adult rape victims and 74% of victims in domestic-abuse rape cases withdrew before a charge, amid long delays and poor experiences. [3]
So I shouldn’t have implied that police-recorded figures settle the argument. They don’t. A more defensible statement is: sexual violence is heavily underreported, many victims distrust the police or expect no justice, and the justice system is failing a large number of people. That still doesn’t prove that *most crime* is unreported or that the entire UK is irretrievably finished—but your criticism of relying on police figures, especially for rape, is justified.
If these good people have already succeeded, and if they have an existing base, then perhaps they might put out a call for staunch (and White) British men who would like to move in and help them defend themselves from the traitors and cuckold faggots in the British government, and their mercenary system pigs and other bastards.
I don’t know how serious Nigel Farage is about stopping the boats if rich and privileged people want them coming over for cheap labour and white working class replacement, but it seems clear his company Reform (it’s not a party it’s a limited liability company) is promising big tax breaks to crypto investors. But it’s being said that of around 17,000 investors in crypto in this country, the big-buck savings–to those with £1m+ investments–will go to only about 240 people. I’m sure Nigel and his board were miffed this came out so soon after two more big donations. Handy, too, that as a LLC the founding partners can only be sued for debts up to the amount THEY invested.
I don’t know the significance of two crypto investors each giving him/his party/LLC £36 million and not 35 or 40, so the figure must mean something and we’ll surely find that out one day. One donor says he doesn’t want anything in return. So the crypto tax break is just incidental? He said he only wants what’s best for Britain. Even though he’s a tax exile who lives in the Far East. So old affable Nigel isn’t our friend unless we are rich. He is no friend of ordinary people at all.

Rapper bbno$ launches massive Palestine charity concert to counter controversial Macklemore tour firing
Story by Athena Freya •
Rapper bbno$ has proposed a massive charity concert to raise money to feed Palestine, calling on fellow artists to join the event as he publicly backs Macklemore following the rapper’s forced removal from Ed Sheeran’s US tour.
The Canadian rapper announced the idea on social media, asking followers to suggest performers and a city for the proposed event. ‘I wanna throw a massive charity concert and raise money for Palestine,’ he wrote, also urging artists to ‘stand on business and raise some money,’ according to Billboard Canada.
Kebbno$ Calls for Massive Palestine Charity Concert
: ‘who should perform? what city?’ The concert has not yet been given an official date or venue, and no full performer line-up or charity beneficiaries have been announced.
The proposal quickly drew responses from other Canadian artists. Good Kid replied ‘Hell Yes!’ while pervert drag performer Priyanka wrote ‘IM IN!!!??’ Canadian actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan also suggested Toronto as a possible host city, Billboard Canada reported.
while many in the UK want it here
His proposal came as he publicly backed Macklemore, whose removal from Sheeran’s tour has prompted massive support from musicians over the rapper’s advocacy for Palestine.

Ed Sheeran badly out of tune with global opinion on Gaza – The Irish News view
Opinion by The Irish News •
THE intense controversy surrounding the hugely successful singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran underlines the scale of global outrage over Israel’s prolonged campaign of genocide against the people of Palestine.
While there will be some sympathy for any musician who finds themselves at the centre of a major dispute which they plainly did not set out to create, Mr Sheeran’s attitude to the unfolding sequence of events has been very disappointing.
He should certainly have realised from the start that the removal from his tour of support act Macklemore at the instigation of a promoter, over baseless claims of anti-Jewish views, was unacceptable and had to be firmly rejected.
Macklemore, a high-profile US rap artist, opened for Mr Sheeran at a sell-out concert in New Jersey earlier this month, and told the audience that two words which were very close to heart were “Free Palestine”, before performing a song which condemned Israel’s military actions in Gaza, with accompanying video footage of the devastation there.
to great public applause
The Macklemore statement reflected mainstream opinion around the world, but, using a familiar tactic, billionaire promoter Robert Kraft attempted to wrongly claim that criticising the Israeli government somehow amounted to an anti-jewish commentary.
Police release footage of two migrants after girl, 13, was raped in ‘awful attack’
Story by Elizabeth Haigh • 4h
Police have released footage of two coloured migrants after a 13-year-old girl was lured into a park and raped
in an ‘awful attack’ in London.
Detectives are investigating after the girl reported being assaulted in Bethnal Green, in the east of the city.
Daily Mail
Police release footage of men after girl raped in ‘awful attack’
Officers were alerted to the incident at around 11.30pm on Thursday, August 1, 2024.
The girl told police she had seen two men on Whitechapel Road, and they forced her to follow them into nearby Weavers Fields where she was raped.
She was later found by a member of the public who came to her assistance.
A £10,000 reward is being offered by the independent charity Crimestoppers, for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
The victim’s parents today released a statement through the Metropolitan Police, detailing the ‘devastating’ impact of the attack.
‘Our daughter continues to live in fear for her safety and no longer feels comfortable being on her own,’ they said.
