Monday’s attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast was a bloody encapsulation of the current woes plaguing Britain, and the wider West in general. Hadi Alodid, a Sudanese national, was arrested at the scene and charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, who suffered severe knife wounds to his face, neck and back, and lost his left eye in the process. As he carried out the attack, Alodid screamed “Allahu Akbar” – which, if memory serves, is Sudanese for “have you got the time on you, chief?”
Everything was there: the ritualistic butchery of a local white man in his own city, carried out by a Muslim migrant who should never have been in the country. He entered via the Irish asylum loophole, circumvented normal immigration controls, and was granted leave to remain until 2028. The icing on the cake is that while Alodid was deemed safe to live among us, the UK government declares Sudan too dangerous to visit or return to, because of the savage civil war and ethnic slaughter tearing the country apart.
I’m doubtless going to lose a few readers for this, but please bear with me: the real enemy here isn’t the lunatic with the knife and the attempted sharia justice. The real enemy is the system that let him in – and, worst of all, the ideology which facilitates it. History has always had its butchers, maniacs and jihadis. Where history has never transgressed however, is the suicidal insistence that all cultures, traditions and groups produce the same outcomes. In other words, the lie of equality.
Cue Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, a man so obviously unworthy of his father’s name, he had to be christened after a woman. Asked in the House of Commons what would be done to stop “the importation of an alien culture that thinks it’s appropriate to try and behead someone?”, Benn was clearly distressed by the adjective and hit back with “I’m sorry the honourable gentleman used the term ‘alien culture’, because what exactly is he referring to?”

That Benn appeared more concerned about the use of the word “alien” than he did the attempted beheading, should surprise no one. The lie of equality: specifically, that outcomes across race, gender, religion etc must be equalised, with those that are not automatically the fault of the observer, has long been the Left’s default position on facts of which they disapprove. As someone famously put it in Banalysis: The Lie Destroying The West:
“In any conceivable form now, different outcomes by race, gender, religion, sexuality etc. are viewed by society as problems which must be solved, rather than interesting facts to understand.”
This twisted version of equality (as opposed to the only form that matters, equality before the law) is the fundamental reason our once-great nation is in decline. Here are just a few alternative examples:
Two-tier policing
Never mind the charlatans like Starmer who insist two-tier policing does not exist; it must exist, because criminals steadfastly refuse to commit crime at equal rates.
In order therefore, to propagate the lie that crime is committed evenly and that any aberration from the baseline must by definition be caused by systemic racism, a number of interventions are essential:
- Police must be relentlessly smeared as “racist” until they refuse to stop-and-search young black men – the very group most likely to be carrying knives.
- Police must stop recording ethnicity when the data becomes inconvenient.
- Race-baiters like David Lammy must be indulged when they demand ‘BAME offenders’ can expunge their criminal records “to combat bias”.
- Low-level crimes like shoplifting (under £200) and minor drug possession must be effectively decriminalised, to help ‘balance the books’.
Education
There is a stubborn refusal to openly discuss the well-documented cultural, family, and cognitive factors behind the persistent black/white attainment gap. Instead, the entire issue is almost exclusively framed as “institutional racism”. To sustain this narrative, the following mechanisms are rigorously applied:
- White British pupils (especially working-class boys) are largely excluded from race-specific scholarships, mentoring schemes, and outreach programmes reserved for ethnic minorities.
- Schools push “inclusive” assessment practices to account for “cultural factors,” often resulting in more generous predicted or teacher-assessed grades for black pupils.
- Funding is disproportionately channelled towards black and other minority students, in order to address the attainment gap – despite decades of evidence showing limited success.
- Diversity targets at prestigious schools and universities effectively lower the bar for black applicants, who would not qualify on academic merit alone.
- With black Caribbean pupils excluded at five times the rate of white pupils, the explanation given for this is “teacher bias”.
Immigration
For years, any link between mass immigration and elevated crime was furiously denounced as “racist scaremongering.” Migrants, we were emphatically told, were women and children – despite the constant images suggesting that if they were women, they are almost entirely the “women with penises” variety. When that lie could no longer be sustained, we were told the young, fighting-age men were coming to make a better life for their families (how exactly they were doing that, allowing the actual women and children to fight the wars for them was never fully explained).
Liberals and officials alike, denied the connection between immigration and crime, until the data became impossible to bury – at which point they flipped the script and unleashed the new defence: trauma. Migrants convicted of rape, grooming or knife crime routinely plead PTSD from their home countries or the journey here, and sympathetic courts and campaigners treated it as mitigation. Afghans and Eritreans, for example, are convicted of sexual offences at over 20 times the rate of native Britons. Yet one rarely hears about the ‘trauma’ of their victims.
An exhaustive list is not the point of course (and who’d have the time?). It’s fair to say however, that any case of disparity where the villain isn’t the white guy is one in which society now seeks to engineer the outcome. Whether it’s excusing or downplaying honour-based violence and FGM, grooming gangs, Muslim voting practices, the false equivalence of jihad vs ‘far-right’ terror, or trans violence, the response from the authorities is invariably the same. Even poor Henry Nowak’s case suggests police had one eye on his injuries and the other on the crime statistics.
It’s worth adding there is more than a degree of fraudulence on the part of our ideologues here. They have no problem discriminating when it suits them: favouring expense accounts over their wallets; the ministerial car over the bus; their neighbours in Hampstead over yours in Hackney. And presumably they lock their doors at night, if only to share all that wonderful cultural enrichment with the rest of us?
If diversity is truly “our greatest strength”, doesn’t that contradict the equality lie outright? Are they not by definition mutually exclusive? And if not, how can it be a ‘strength’, if it’s equal to everything else?
There are those that wish to live in the real world, and those that do not. That should not be our concern. However, the point at which they force us (and only us) to live with the consequences of their lies, that most definitely is our concern.
The equality dogma that imported this nightmare and now excuses it must be confronted and destroyed. Until it is, the blood of innocent Brits will keep flowing – in a very unequal way indeed.

Who’s to blame for the burning of Belfast?
DANIEL JUPP
AFTER rioters and protesters in Belfast set fire to properties suspected or known to house third world asylum seekers and migrants, an entirely predictable response from the authorities and the mainstream media followed the familiar line of the Southport riots of 2024.
Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill said: ‘Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice. This has nothing to do with community. This is outright thuggery.’
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, said: ‘I have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.’
Hilary Benn, the Northern Ireland Secretary, took Unionist MP Jim Allister to task in the House of Commons when the latter asked: ‘What will be done to stop the importation of an alien culture?’
Mr Benn responded by inveighing against ‘racist thuggery’.
The Guardian went into overdrive, and knew exactly who to blame for the disturbances, accusing ‘politicians, social media and far right agitators’ of convincing people that ‘migrant targeting violence would solve all their problems’.
Its response was the standard media one. LBC radio pushed the same interpretation of the cause of the Belfast riots, with regular hard left commentator James O’Brien leading the charge.
Jeremy Corbyn tied Nigel Farage’s rhetoric to the ‘racist’ rioters, saying he and Reform UK ‘fanned’ the flames of the riots.
Responsibility for these riots, so far as the entire British political and media establishment is concerned, lies with them and three other sources:
·Wicked right-wing foreigners interfering in UK politics and stirring up trouble (Elon Musk, Donald Trump, JD Vance).
·Wicked ‘far right’ social media influencers, podcasters and commentators encompassing everyone from Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Valentina Gomez, Don Keith and others (the same people blocked from entering the UK for the Unite the Kingdom rallies), of whom the most wicked and the most irresponsible is Britain’s own Tommy Robinson.
·Wicked British white working classes who just refuse to understand how great life is in contemporary, multicultural, migrant-enriched Britain because they are either racist scum or encouraged by the above to ‘blame migrants’ for their perceived social ills.
This is the consensus media and political class explanation for both the Southport riots and the Belfast riots.
All three elements are united in the terrifying ‘rise of the far right’ meme and the need to censor social media (new restrictions are imminent says Liz Kendall, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology), increase punishments for public disorder, fast-track cases through the courts while hitting everyone in the head proverbially with non-stop woke, leftist and globalist propaganda about diversity, kindness, empathy, ‘British values’ and just how absolutely wonderful all migrants are and how utterly revolting, backwards and extremist it is to think anything else.
What is lost each time in the horror and loathing expressed about the protesters is an honest recognition of the natural horror and loathing of the brutality and outrage of the crime itself.
For the British political and media establishment, it barely warrants mention that a Sudanese asylum seeker, Hadi Alodid, 30, was charged with attempted murder for an attack against 44-year-old Stephen Ogilvie which was too shocking to broadcast. Media tended to refer to the attack only as a stabbing incident.
Without social media accounts sharing edited footage, and with our totalitarian leaders getting the kind of total media control they are increasingly demanding, it is now legitimate to ask if they would even allow us to know such attacks take place.
Other stabbings took place in central London last week. They resulted in two deaths (one of a 17-year-old) and a person clinging to life in hospital. Yet they received scant media attention. Typically, the response to the increasing number of anti-white attacks is first to play them down and under-report them; second to bury them by immediately attacking any angry reaction, and finally to tar anyone who denounces the crimes with clarity as far right and of fanning the flames of hatred. There is a long, history of these double standards and problem switching.
It is a very long time since the murders of Stephen Lawrence and Kriss Donald. The first led to a public inquiry, a media frenzy, endless headlines and vast generalisations about white racism and police racism, indeed an entire life of activism for the mother of the victim. It led to Stephen Lawrence Day. It led to the Macpherson Report and its ‘finding’ of institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police force which more than 30 years later determines the plots of the British soap opera. All police training, guidelines and policy documents and those for every institution beyond the police alone reflect its premise as valid.
Diversity training became mandatory. The language and assumptions of Critical Race Theory were embedded in the legal codes, the sentencing guidelines and the way every police force operates.
What was the end result of that?
Henry Nowak was the end result of that.
An innocent white teenage victim of a merciless stabbing, handcuffed while protesting he couldn’t breathe, disbelieved because of the colour of his skin until he died. His killer knew what would happen when he made a false claim of racism. The killer’s brother knew what would happen when he lied in his phone call to the police. The killer’s mother knew how the police would behave while she hid the knife her son had used to stab Henry five times.
They knew that the British police were trained to believe and protect them, and not to assess the situation objectively. They knew their race was another weapon they could use against Henry and a way of putting the police on their side.
The murder of a white youth, Kriss Donald, 15, who was hunted down, kidnapped, tortured and murdered by an Asian gang looking to kill any white person they could find didn’t change anything. It never fitted the establishment narrative. Nor did questioning of the mass immigration and multiculturalism that lay behind it.
What you are not supposed to ask is why the death of Stephen Lawrence mattered to the establishment and media so much more than the death of Kriss Donald. Today you aren’t supposed to ask why the death of the criminal George Floyd 6,000 miles away justifies anger and violent protest (publicly endorsed by establishment figures) while the death of Henry Nowak, the three little girls murdered in Southport, or the attempted decapitation of Stephen Ogilvie, do not.
The reason is that our media and ruling class were trained and conditioned at university to be angry only about black deaths, not white ones. White guilt is the virtue stance. One must care about one race and condemn another; consider ethnic minority protests as always justifiable or mostly peaceful (even if they are violent), and consider white protests as uniquely awful, terrifying and evil even when they are peaceful.
When PC Keith Blakelock was hacked to death at Broadwater Farm with machetes in the Thatcher years, the double standards were already in place. Over subsequent years, calling rioters who hacked someone to death with machetes ‘savages’ garnered more condemnation than the savagery itself.
Northern Ireland is a country with a recent history of communities resorting to violence to protect themselves when they believe the Government, which has the primary duty to do so, will not or cannot.
Northern Ireland’s First Minister condemned the Belfast violent protestors without once mentioning the attack that caused it.
The attitude revealed by her omission and the policies that flow from it are far more responsible for Britain’s overall slide into unrest and disorder than the rise of any mythical far right bogeyman.
Through moral hypocrisy, open borders, a refusal to listen, through contempt and oppression of the white working class, through importing violence and dismissing every peaceful plea to change direction, through letting terrorism increase and mass child rape occur, through two-tier policing and race-distorted injustice, and through being either supremely useless in tackling threats or traitorously complicit allowing them to erupt into violence . . . THEY are the ones responsible for Belfast burning.
