This open letter is written not only to the Home Secretary, but also as a message of love and solidarity to the Jewish community. In times of fear and uncertainty, when antisemitism resurfaces under the guise of political protest, it is vital that we speak clearly and stand together. My words below are not motivated by politics alone, but by care and respect for the Jewish friends, neighbours, and families who deserve to live in safety and dignity. This is my commitment to you: that I will use my voice to call for fairness, consistency, and protection under the law. With love and solidarity, Open Letter to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood Why Has Section 18 of the Public Order Act 2023 Not Been Commenced to Address Pro-Palestine Marches? Dear Home Secretary Mahmood @ShabanaMahmood As Home Secretary, you hold responsibility for ensuring public order and safety in England and Wales. Recent pro-Palestine demonstrations have been widely criticised for harbouring antisemitic rhetoric, calls for violence, and support for proscribed groups such as Palestine Action. With escalating unrest, mass arrests, and mounting public concern, exacerbated by recent attacks on synagogues, many are asking: why has the government not commenced Section 18 of the Public Order Act 2023 to empower intervention in these events? Section 18 empowers the Secretary of State to bring civil proceedings against protest activity where it is reasonably believed to cause, or be likely to cause, serious disruption to national infrastructure, access to essential goods or services, or a serious adverse effect on public safety. This provision was introduced precisely for situations where public assemblies threaten stability and daily life. However, it remains prospective and has not yet been brought into force, despite the Act receiving Royal Assent in May 2023. The official legislation record confirms that Section 18 has never been commenced, and no public explanation has been given by the Government for this delay. Meanwhile, over 1,300 arrests have taken place at pro-Palestine events this summer alone, including nearly 900 at a single London protest for alleged support of a banned terrorist organisation. Reports continue to link these marches to hate speech, antisemitism, and violence against police officers. Political commentators argue that they have fostered an atmosphere of “vile, antisemitic, Hamas-supporting” sentiment, with some participants openly defying bans on proscribed groups. Your predecessors have not hesitated to restrict so called “right-wing” demonstrations when deemed necessary. Why, then, do these marches continue unchecked? Is it, as critics suggest, due to perceived biases stemming from your past parliamentary record on Gaza and links to pro-Palestinian activism, or fears of wider unrest if they were curtailed? Public frustration is growing. On platforms like X, many accuse the government of applying terrorism laws selectively, pursuing arrests after the fact, while ignoring the need to commence powers such as Section 18 that could prevent escalation in the first place. The Public Order Act was enacted to safeguard the public from disruptive and dangerous assemblies, while respecting the right to peaceful protest. These marches, repeatedly linked to terrorism, related offences and hate speech, appear to meet its threshold once activated. By failing to commence and act under this provision, you risk undermining confidence in both your office and the impartial application of the law. If Section 18 provides the legal means to intervene once in force, why the delay in bringing it forward? The public deserves transparency, consistency, and protection. I urge you to commence Section 18 without delay, and to ensure that all protests are policed with fairness and balance. Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen thankyou @SBarrettBar you helped without knowing

BREAKING RIGHT NOW: THE RAPE GANG INQUIRY REPORT HAS DROPPED Thank you @RupertLowe10 @officialsammyuk @EstherMcVey1 and everyone involved at @RestoreBritain. Your patriotism and bravery will never be forgotten. Nigel Farage and Reform UK promised but only you could deliver.

Exactly

This is nuts

Unforgettable night with the Tartan Army at Fenway Park in Boston. Spoke to police officers, bar staff, security merch sellers who said they'd never seen a set of fans like it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Some videos of the good-natured mayhem here 👇

Starmer and his social media ban can do one!

There has been an incident at my child's primary school A man in a black hoodie was staring at the children and believed to have photographed/filmed Teacher action caused him to flee I can mention this because I have a platform. This is the reality of British life - fear.

After Germany’s 7–1 win over Curaçao, something even more beautiful happened. While everyone else celebrated, players from both teams formed a small circle together, put their arms around each other, and prayed. Germany’s Felix Nmecha later explained: “On the pitch we’re opponents. After the game, we’re all Christians and brothers. We simply prayed together because we’re grateful.” In a world constantly trying to divide people, moments like this remind us what really matters. ❤️

I point out in an interview with the Metro that it is ludicrous to suggest that all those who vote Restore Britain would vote Reform if Restore were not standing in the Makerfield by-election. metro.co.uk/2026/06/15/ludic…

I've just heard 3 people who were reporting on riots in Northern Ireland using their YouTube accounts have been arrested. They were not involved in any rioting, they are not involved in any criminal activity. They are looking to do anther Southport to clamp down on free speech. #TwoTierKeir

You gotta love Mick Miller. There is no school like the old school.😂😂❤️

Seeing 5,000 Scottish fans bring a footie atmosphere to a baseball game is a sight to behold 😂 Doubt Fenway Park has ever heard anything like it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There must be criminal consequences.

💰 The Government has signed off £800,000 to support Vietnam’s net zero targets. Seriously, what are we doing? Energy bills have now gone up six times under this government. Millions of British households are struggling with the cost of living. Yet somehow we have nearly £800,000 available to help another country pursue its Net Zero ambitions. I like Vietnam. It’s a fantastic country. But if Vietnam wants to invest in its energy transition, surely Vietnam should pay for it. British taxpayers have enough bills of their own.

🚨 THE POLICE ARE KEEPING RECORDS ON PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED NO CRIME Not violence. Not threats. Not criminal acts. Speech. A warning was raised in Parliament that people could have information recorded against them for comments deemed to go beyond "legitimate discussion" of Islam. The obvious question is: Who decides what is "legitimate"? Because once free speech depends on official approval... It isn't really free speech anymore.

Keir Starmer is showing clear signs of a a dictator. Relentless propaganda to celebrate ludicrous policies. Refusal to listen to criticism. A desperate desire for control. The pursuing of policies which favour his preferred groups. Misuse of police and courts. He needs stopping.

🚨 THE BATTLE FOR BRITAIN HAS BEGUN Rev. Chris Wickland believes Britain is approaching a defining moment. Not a debate about tax rates. Not a debate about government spending. A debate about the future identity of the nation itself. That is why emotions are running so high across the country. Because growing numbers of Britons no longer see this as a contest between political parties. They see it as a battle over Britain's values, culture, traditions and future direction. And they believe the outcome will shape the country for generations to come. @revwickland

Tyson Fury is a LEGEND!
