As I've reported many times, the United Kingdom and its prime minister, Keir Starmer, are very concerned with making their Muslim "asylum-seekers" comfortable in their migrant hotels. I reported last summer that the UK Home Office was assembling an elite team of police officers to monitor social media for "anti-migrant sentiment" to "flag early signs of potential civil unrest." Kind of like the potential civil unrest right-wing activist (and, according to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamadani, white supremacist) Jake Lang incited to make an ISIS-inspired teenager throw "smoking jars of metal and fuses" into the crowd.
The U.K. government recently published "Protecting What Matters: Towards a more confident, cohesive, and resilient United Kingdom," which defines anti-Muslim hostility:
"Anti-Muslim hostility is intentionally engaging in, assisting or encouraging criminal acts – including acts of violence, vandalism, harassment, or intimidation, whether physical, verbal, written or electronically communicated – that are directed at Muslims because of their religion or at those who are perceived to be Muslim, including where that perception is based on assumptions about ethnicity, race or appearance.
"It is also the prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims, or people perceived to be Muslim including because of their ethnic or racial backgrounds or their appearance, and treating them as a collective group defined by fixed and negative characteristics, with the intention of encouraging hatred against them, irrespective of their actual opinions, beliefs or actions as individuals."
Just to show they're serious, the government has also appointed an anti-Muslim hostility czar who will be in charge of looking after things.

- Reportedly to tackle hatred towards Muslims
- We all know it will be to crack down on criticism of Islam
- Makeshift title is "anti-Muslim hostility tsar"
Labour pandering to Muslim votes again

A crackdown on criticism of Islam? The BBC reports that Communities Secretary Steve Reed has assured Brits that the new guidelines for "social cohesion" will in "no way" restrict people's freedom to criticise Islam.
Anti-Muslim hatred definition will in 'no way' restrict free speech, says Reed https://t.co/AgQTzTyJu2

So, they're going to stop sending the police to people's houses and arresting them over Facebook posts that contain "anti-migrant sentiment"? That's good news.
This is one of the most brazen lies I’ve ever heard from a politician. https://t.co/B7qKsM6rPI

The key is defining “free speech” to be “inoffensive speech.”

They really are panicking, no amount of censorship will stop the oppressed ignoring their survival instinct

Where is the line drawn between criticism of an ideology (and its fundamentalist followers), and “Islamophobia?”
— Badjer 🇬🇧 (@Badjer_UK) March 9, 2026
So basically the Labour party is introducing a blasphemy law to appease their Muslim voters.

Sad
A government creating a “Minister for Islamophobia” is a clear sign of how far Western politics has drifted. Instead of defending free speech and equal laws for all, leaders are busy managing vote banks and identity politics. This is not leadership. It’s political surrender.

People would have far less of an issue if some places in England were not completely unrecognisable and non integrated.

As I reported last year, the mayor of Birmingham, which is chock full of "migrant hotels," banned fans of Israel's soccer team from attending a game at a stadium there "for their own safety." In other words, the police can't and won't protect you.
John Cleese, who's disappointed us many times with his TDS-addled takes, is surprisingly based on this issue:
I look forward to getting jailed
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) March 9, 2026
I'll be able to talk to many of my friends there https://t.co/UrBcUNMlan
We're surprised Cleese hasn't been jailed already for anti-migrant sentiment:
Islam is the codified system for inflating and protecting the male ego
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) March 9, 2026
The male ego must never be restrained, because in Islam, self-control is not an option https://t.co/Wv7F6LQGiw
Pretty daring stuff, there. Let's see if the new government guidelines really do "in no way" restrict free speech, which is already heavily restricted.
