In my new book, The Great Replacement and the Islamisation of Britain, I have documented some of the ways — financial, political, legal, ideological, cultural and educational — that a climate of anti-White, anti-British hatred has been inculcated in the heart of Britain and disseminated through our politics and institutions at every level of the United Kingdom. But there has been a more recent campaign that has created the mass hysteria in which Britain has been, in effect, brought under Sharia law; and, as long as that hysteria can be sustained in mass demonstrations and their media coverage, the Islamisation of Britain will be completed. This is the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip that was initiated by the State of Israel in October 2023.
Like the other 50 Muslim-majority countries in the world that have all, without exception, refused to accept the Gazans across their borders, the 4.5 million Muslims living in Britain, the majority of whom are from Pakistan and Bangladesh, have no racial, ethnic or linguistic commonality with Palestinians. This isn’t surprising given that Pakistanis are a multi-ethnic people (speaking Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, etc.) from South Asia; and Bengalis are predominantly a single ethnicity from a country on the border of South-east Asia, and with half their population in India; while Palestinians are an Arab people from the Middle East and North Africa. All they share is their religion, with over 90 percent of the populations of all three countries being Sunni Muslims. What they share, therefore, is Islam’s model of conquest, and its injunction for Muslims of all countries to wage jihad against the state or ‘House of War’ (Dār al-Harb) adjacent to their own. This is commanded repeatedly in their holy book and manual of conquest, the Qur’an: ‘Kill them wherever you come upon them’ (2:191); ‘Fight them until there is no repression’ (2:193); ‘Fight those who do not believe in Allah’ (9:29); ‘Kill the polytheists wherever you find them’ (9:5).
In light of this Islamic injunction, the purpose of more than two years of weekly protests held in the UK capital against the genocide in Gaza is not to stop the actions of the State of Israel — which these protests have done nothing to change — but rather to create the political climate in which 2.4 million Palestinians can be moved into Britain. To this end, since the invasion of Gaza the UK Government has sent £241 million of British taxpayers money to the Occupied Palestinian Authority. And the organisation and mobilisation of protesters by the woke-Left is now receiving support from a corporate sector responding to what is, in effect and intention, a two-year publicity campaign to change the British public’s perception of Muslims from being the rapists and terrorists who have groomed and trafficked hundreds of thousands of British girls and killed and injured thousands of Britons in terrorist attacks, to victims and freedom fighters.
But the flag of Palestine has taken on a new meaning far beyond the liberation of Palestine. Flown for over two years from town halls across Britain, in response to the counter-campaign to ‘Raise the Colours’ the same councils have taken down the flag of St. George and the Union Jack on the spurious claim that the national flags of England and Great Britain are now symbols of the far-Right, therefore offensive to immigrants, and therefore inherently racist. Indeed, in the recently-leaked draft of the UK Government’s new social cohesion strategy, the flags of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom are all designated as ‘tools of hate’. In contrast, the accompanying chant of Palestine-flag-waving protesters to ‘globalise the intifada’ — an Arabic term meaning ‘uprising’ — has moved with the blessing of the Government and under police protection from the streets of Manchester and London to shopping malls and sporting arenas. As we have seen across Europe, these protests have turned into openly enacted demonstrations of intimidation by Muslims of the native population of Britain, occupying public spaces with the spectacle of mass prayer and targeting Christian and atheist festivals like Christmas.
Like the definition of Islamophobia being lobbied into UK legislation by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims that is funded by the Malawi-born Muslim billionaire and Abu Dhabi tax-exile, Asif Aziz, these demonstrations have less to do with the liberation of an Arabic people 2,300 miles away from Britain — on which they have had not the least effect — and far more to do with creating terror in the native population of Britain preliminary to our colonisation by a foreign ideology that draws its jihadists both from within and, increasingly, from outside Britain. Another opportunity for public declarations of self-loathing and anti-Britishness, Gaza has become the opium of the Left. While rightly protesting the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip by Zionists since October 2023, the woke-Left refuses to acknowledge — and are complicit in implementing on a far larger scale — the demographic replacement of the British people and the Islamisation of Britain. Appalled at the killing of 20,000 Palestinian children by the Israel Defence Forces in Gaza, it refuses to acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of British children groomed, drugged, raped, tortured and trafficked for five decades and more by Muslim gangs across Britain. Indeed, in their official literature for activists, Stand Up To Racism, the virulently anti-British organisation that organises counter protests against working-class mothers terrified at hundreds of Muslim immigrants being stationed near their childrens’ schools, call the legal evidence of this programme of mass rape, including the testimony of the victims, ‘far-Right lies’ that ‘promote racism, Islamophobia, and division’. The idea that one can be horrified by both crimes and equally opposed to the ideologies behind them, Zionism and Islamism, is incomprehensible to those blinkered by the long-redundant division of our politics into a pro-Palestine Left and a pro-Israel Right. Yet it is not only the moral response but also the only properly political analysis of the connection between two otherwise coincidental events. There are no coincidences in geopolitical events of such magnitude, and it is not by chance that it is the unfailingly politically naïve Left that has been chosen by the Islamic Ummah as the UK’s fifth column.
The members of the woke-Left who are participating in these demonstrations of intimidation against the British people are too young to remember or rendered too historically illiterate by the UK’s education system to know even the recent history of Islamic conquest; but Lebanon went from having a narrow Christian majority among its population to the Muslim majority it is today following a civil war that was waged from 1975 to 1990, during which millions of the Lebanese middle classes fled the country just as the British middle classes are fleeing Britain today. And that war could only be started against Lebanese Christians after the influx of thousands of Palestinians into the country, first in 1948 after the foundation of the State of Israel and the Nakba, and again in 1967 after Israel’s defeat of the Arab coalition in the Six-Day War, and the ensuing alliance between Lebanese Muslims and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). If we don’t think the same thing can happen in Britain because we’re British we haven’t been paying attention to what’s been done to both our nation and our people over the last 6 years, or over the quarter of a century that preceded and prepared them.
As I document in detail in part two of my book (‘The Islamisation of Britain’), Muslim and mostly Pakistani MPs have been suspended from the Labour Party or have left it to win otherwise secure Labour seats in Parliament by presenting themselves to both their Muslim electorate and the woke-Left as spokesmen and champions for the Palestinians in Gaza. In the General Election, Shockat Adam, a Muslim of Gujarati descent who was born in Malawi, won the Labour seat in Leicester South on a political platform that focused on the war in Gaza. After his victory, Adam raised a Palestinian keffiyeh aloft and dedicated the result to Gaza. In May 2024, Ayoub Khan, a Muslim who was born in Pakistan, resigned from the Liberal Democrat Party because of the constraints it placed on candidates speaking about the war in Gaza, and subsequently defeated the Labour incumbent in Birmingham Perry Barr, who had held a 15,000-vote majority. Iqbal Mohamed, an Indian Muslim, defeated the Labour Party candidate by nearly 7,000 votes on a platform that, again, focused on Gaza, the first time in history that a Yorkshire constituency had voted for an Independent MP. And Adnan Hussain, a Pakistani Muslim, was elected MP for Blackburn on a platform that focused, again, on Gaza, in the process overturning a Labour majority of 18,000 in a constituency that had elected a Labour MP consistently for 69 years. This is despite the fact that the same MPs have successfully lobbied the UK Government to make assertions that Muslims are ‘part of a collective group with set characteristics’ or ‘more loyal to the Ummah’ than to Britain examples of anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia. If Muslims do not constitute a collective group and are not more loyal to their fellow Muslims in foreign countries than to Britain, why is it that Pakistanis and other Muslims living in Britain are willing to leave the Labour Party in order to protest against the complicity of the Labour government in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
An answer to that question has been provided by the placards and chants of protesters to the effect that ‘you don’t need to be Muslim to stand up for Gaza, you just need to be human’; and that the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from Gaza is a crime against humanity — and in legal and moral terms it is. But there is another meaning to this declaration that has been uncritically accepted and disseminated by the woke-Left, and that is that, unless we ‘stand up’ for Gaza — a phrase used by the woke-Left for every cause it promotes (‘Stand Up to Racism’, ‘Stand Up to the far-Right’) — we are, in effect, not human and therefore unworthy of our human rights. This includes the right of the British people, under UN Resolution 1514 (XV), to self-determination and a country of our own.
We saw this rhetoric of dehumanisation used under lockdown to deprive the non-compliant of our human rights under UK and European law, and it is being used again to turn a political and military situation in the Middle East — just as it was used of the political and military situation in the Ukraine — to divide the British public into compliant humanitarians and the dehumanised non-compliant (‘far-Right’, ‘Islamophobic’, ‘anti-Muslim’, ‘racists’, ‘fascists’, ‘Nazis’, etc.) who wish to retain the sovereignty of Britain as a nation state and see the continuation of British culture and the British people as its native population. This rhetoric is exemplified by the woke figurehead of the Independent Alliance of Muslims MPs, the pro-Islamist Jeremy Corbyn, who repeatedly appeals to the humanity of the British people to ‘welcome refugees’ no matter how many of them rape our women and children.
In February 2025, Ayoub Khan, who was born in Mirpur — the rape capital of Pakistan from which between 60 and 80 percent of all Pakistani immigrants to England come — tabled a motion for a visa scheme that will allow Palestinians with family ties in the UK to move to Britain, ostensibly on a temporary basis, but which will undoubtedly turn out to be permanent relocations when they claim and are granted asylum. In June 2025, 67 MPs and Peers urged Keir Starmer to create a Gaza Family Scheme modelled on the Ukraine Family Scheme that operated in the UK between 2022 and 2024. And, in October 2025, the signatories declared it was ‘more urgent than ever’ to create such a scheme. Once implemented, as it undoubtedly will be by this pro-Islamist government, this will bring an even larger contingent of Muslims even more hostile to Britain and the British than those that are already here, not from the PLO, as they were in Lebanon, but from Hamas, the Sunni Islamist Resistance Movement, and its military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
As Keir Starmer demonstrated in December 2025 when he publicly welcomed the Egyptian activist, Muslim and anti-White racist, Alaa Abdel El-Fattah, into Britain, his Government is more than willing to grant British citizenship to those who openly, blatantly and proudly declare their hatred of Britain and their intent to kill White, and particularly British, people. Among social media posts published between 2010 and 2012, El-Fattah, who was granted British citizenship in 2022 while in an Egyptian prison, described the British people as ‘dogs and monkeys’; proudly described himself as ‘a racist’ who ‘doesn’t like white people’; declared ‘I seriously, seriously, seriously hate white people, especially those of English or Dutch or German descent’; advocated the ‘random shooting of white males’; claimed that the British ‘enslaved a fifth of humanity’ and ‘massacred millions’; described ‘killing colonialists and specially zionists’ as ‘heroic’; wrote that ‘police are not human’ and ‘we should kill them all’; and boasted how ‘we’ll take over your town and rape ur (sic) women’, helpfully adding ‘us terrorists tend to do that’. If, or rather when, the UK Government creates the Gaza Family Scheme, Britain will no longer be harbouring merely Islamic terrorists that, under the incitement to violence and murder of ideologues like El-Fattah, have killed 96 people and injured nearly 2,000 in Britain over the last two decades, but an actual Islamic army which, according to Israeli intelligence, still numbers some 40,000-plus fighters.
The purpose of appointing Shabana Mahmood, a strict Muslim, long-term Palestine activist and member of Labour Friends for Palestine and the Middle East, as the Home Secretary of the UK is to oversee this process. This serves the goals of both Zionism, which is to ethnically cleanse the State of Israel of all Muslims, and the Islamisation of Britain. Though he refuses to describe himself, at least in public, as a Zionist, Keir Starmer is married to a Jewish woman, raises their children as Jews, has extended family living in Israel and supports the aims of Zionism. His plans to make ‘The Holocaust’ compulsory in UK school curricula, and the role of the Zionist lobby in destroying the leadership of his rival and predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, are testimony to the Labour Party’s allegiance to Zionism; but that’s been Britain’s position since it published the Balfour Declaration in support of a Jewish homeland in 1917 and, after the creation of the State of Israel in 1947 and the dissolution of Britain’s Arab protectorates in the 1960s and 1970s, largely handed control of the Middle East over to the USA after the Second World War.
The Islamisation of Britain, however, which can be said to have started with the Government of Tony Blair in the 1990s (although its origins are far older), is something more recent in implementation. It has little to do with the political ‘representation’ of so-called religious minorities in Britain but is, as I document in my book, the goal of an explicit policy of demographic replacement and ideological conquest. Indeed, while constituting 6.5 percent of the population of Britain, the 26 Muslims MPs comprise just 4 percent of the House of Commons. As I show, however, the influence of Muslims in UK society and politics goes far beyond their numbers or representation in either. Immigration and birth rates show that the British will be a racial minority in Britain within a few decades; but it’s not Indians or Nigerians — who make up the majority of recent immigrants — that occupy positions of political influence in the UK, or whose religions and cultures are being enforced on the British people. And it certainly isn’t those of Jews. It is Pakistani Muslims and the ideology of Islam.
Zionists, of course, have immense influence in the UK — as they do in the USA — on our financial sector, on our media and, of course, on our foreign policy; but Islamists have at least as much influence on our education and culture industries, on our Parliament, our municipal authorities, our councils, our courts and our police forces. I have documented some of that influence within the government of the UK; but its effects are far more decisive on the internal politics of Britain as distinct from our foreign policy. This may appear incompatible with the Zionism of Starmer’s Government; but so does Islam’s unlikely and otherwise inexplicable alliance with the woke-Left. And as I’ve sought to show in my book, it is this alliance that is the key to Britain’s present crisis and immediate future, and why the United Kingdom, which has been institutionally indoctrinated by woke, is the frontline of the war for Europe between secular Christianity and Islamic fundamentalism.
As the example of Palestine demonstrates, a country can be conquered by a foreign invasion long before the immigrant population outnumbers the native population. Under the British Mandate, the Jewish population of Palestine increased from 11 percent in 1922, when there were almost as many Christians and 78 percent of the population were Muslims, to 31 percent in 1947, when the State of Israel was created by the United Nations, with the remaining 60 percent of the population Muslims and 8 percent Christians. Today, the population of Israel — including the West Bank that has been under military occupation since 1967 — is 73.2 percent Jewish, nearly 30 percent of whom are first-generation immigrants. Similarly, in 1951, just 4.3 percent of the population of Britain was foreign born, the majority of those from the Republic of Ireland. But fifty years later, in the 2001 census, 14.3 percent of population of Britain ‘identified’ — according to woke’s new definition of nationality — as something other than White British. Today, this has increased to 27 percent of the population, considerably more than the 21 percent of the population of Israel that is Muslim. As Zionists have shown, when the occupying people have the support of the United Nations to form a state — and the policy of replacement immigration, as I document in my book, is a UN programme — the subjugation of a native population begins long before it is a minority. For the British people, who are already living as dhimmis in an apartheid system of two-tier policing and sentencing under Sharia law, as our numbers and control over our country diminish and the numbers of Muslims and their power over the UK increase, our subjugation will only increase.
