A French woman says that the rioters and looters broke into her building and threatened her with rape while she was holding her child in her arms. “That’s collateral damage” responds the feminist activist Bettina Zourli who holds a Master’s in gender studies and focuses her work on gender norms, motherhood, reproductive rights, and voluntary childlessness (“childfree”) She describes herself as “feminist, childfree and Antifa” Zourli also says that all the stores getting looted also constitute a case of collateral damage and that the revolution, which she supports, must be violent. She has lectured in gender studies, including at the University of Lille and Université Rennes. x.com/ImtiazMadmood/status/2…

"It's not fair that those who work 15 hours a day and save like crazy become (too) rich, while I just do nothing and live off welfare. How’s that fair?”

For hate marchers, the French riots are a clarion call. They love them. See Chris Nineham, Vice Chair of the "Stop the War Coalition", raging at the London protest on 10 October. He already sports a public order conviction of his own.

What’s happening in France is mindblowing. Mobs are singing the praises of Islamist mass murderers. They are attacking statues of Joan of Arc and Marianne. They are burning down historic buildings. Europe is in deep, deep trouble, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/IKtXGgW

A pro-Pal in Southend-on-Sea with the moniker “Angry Jesus” spat on the statue of murdered MP David Amess. I keep thinking they can’t go lower and then they do. Despicable.

A second or third-generation migrant from Africa explains why Chinese businesses are targeted by looters: “The Chinese living in France have become too wealthy. It's unfair”

Speakers Corner is on the brink of returning to the problems we faced 8 years ago of collective Islamic prayer, violence & intimidation. We cannot let this happen again @metpoliceuk @theroyalparks @MayorofLondon @CConcern share.google/vh4qnasXY0S9Mua…

Given the notion of political impartiality written into the Civil Service Code, the idea that civil servants contributed to BBC journalism which scrutinised parties is eyebrow-raising, to say the least. In the time since Davie's pronouncement that BBC Verify would go global, The Spectator's Reality Check has debunked myths about the Chancellor, our energy system, net zero, dodgy academics and migration numbers to name a few. All without government minders. Only after the Telegraph revealed this did the BBC suspend the scheme. Will BBC Verify continue to limp on after yet another miscalculation? ✍️ Sam McPhail Article | spectator.com/article/could-…

This Islamist thug attacked old Christian men at the corner - of course - no consequences for him! That is Labours Britain.

Rioters told a French woman on video that she deserved to be raped. They said that rape was just “collateral damage” for the revolution. We desperately need a full English translation of this please if anyone can help

Finally a bit of Karma. One of the rioters in France 😂

A third-generation Chinese immigrant tells the story of what happened when she had her store in Paris looted this weekend and was also brutally assaulted herself by a mob of mainly third-generation migrants from Africa 🇫🇷

Reports that polygamous households are benefiting from welfare 'top-ups', expose the truly dysfunctional nature of multiculturalism in Britain. The British state must adopt a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to polygamy. My latest @GBNEWS. gbnews.com/opinion/britain-w…

“Reform in chaos!” Funny how the numbers spoil the script. The proportion of councillors who have resigned from office since the 2024 election is: Reform UK: 6.1% Labour: 6.5% Conservatives: 7% Reform’s rate is LOWER than the uniparty. By all means scrutinise us. Hold us to account. Just bring the same magnifying glass to Labour and the Tories. Same scrutiny. Same standards. Too much to ask?

Meloni vows to hold rioters accountable Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said throwing stones, firecrackers and sticks during demonstrations carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to €20,000. “Destruction and looting are not protest — they are criminal acts,” Meloni stressed. Parents will be held financially responsible for damage caused by minors. Another 500 troops will be deployed to Milan to support the police.

East Asian shopkeepers trying to fight off a crowd of mostly North African looters during the ongoing wave of riots in France. The contrast between the two groups of migrants is visible in crime statistics across Europe

Now that their full documentary has aired – after a week of drip-feeding extracts – we can safely say it is a damp squib. To be clear, it does show a few Reform councillors and activists making some appalling comments – racist, misogynistic, you name it. But absolutely any political party, organisation or business subjected to a year-long fly-on-the-wall sting, with every possible conversation recorded and attempts to coax as much incriminating language out of people as possible, would reveal some disgusting language and viewpoints. ✍️ Ameer Kotecha Article | spectator.com/article/why-di… | @Ameer_Kotecha

The Greens for Palestine had a press conference and most media weren’t allowed in. But here’s Hamas’ barrister Franck Magennis asking a question. He is trying to get the terrorist group deproscribed. That’s who their allies are.
