78-year-old Ann Widdecombe was a well-known conservative in British politics. She was a staunch defender of free speech, a direct opponent to leftist cultural Marxism and an advocate for the commonsense Reform Party. Widdecombe was against abortion, gay rights, transgender advocacy and wokism writ large.
Ms. Widdecombe was beaten to death in her home Wednesday July 8th around 12:30pm by an assailant who drove 270 miles to kill her. Immediately the police said her murder was not politically motivated and not connected to foreign or domestic terrorism.
Despite the credulous claim that her brutal murder was not political in nature, the reality was her murderer drove over five hours to kill her. This was an obvious premeditated, calculated and targeted murder. However, the politically correct leftist media and political institutions within U.K. government, were desperate in trying to deny the obvious.
Yesterday, the British Counterterrorism Police took over the investigation. “Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that as a result of “new information and evidence,” specialist counterterrorism officers were “now leading on the investigation into the horrific murder.”” {citation}
Today, it is admitted that her killer had a library of communist and Marxist ideology.
(DAILY MAIL) – […] Yesterday the probe was taken over by Counterterrorism Policing South East which announced the suspect had been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
The suspect, who remains in custody, was the son of a teaching assistant. Relatives said he had become reclusive after the sudden death of his engineer father last year.
[…] In a dramatic escalation, counter terrorism officers yesterday took over the investigation into the killing of the former Tory minister. It came after the discovery of Russian communist literature and other items of political ideology at the home of the suspected killer.
[…] Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed yesterday that the British white suspect, who the Mail is not naming, was not known to the Government’s deradicalisation programme, Prevent. Police are making inquiries about his mental health. (more)
Leftism is a violently dangerous ideology.
Those who believe in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion as well as cultural rights and genderisms are intolerant in the extreme. Their ideological arguments do not stand up against scrutiny, natural laws or historic outcomes. As a result, their emotions drive the internal sense of self-hate outward to attack others. These are deeply disturbed, emotionally unstable people.
Democrats, Socialists, Communists writ large are extremely dangerous once they achieve power.
The larger the population they control or target, the larger the killing field.
The UK is now a totalitarian hellhole of tyranny and censorship. Just like something out of an Orwell novel.
US should sever the alliance with its government, as they do not share our values and are not our true allies.
Indeed, the UK assisted our traitorous IC to steal POTUS45’s 1st term in office by various means of subterfuge against his administration (and the American people), both before and after he was elected. And 100+ UK Gov operatives crossed the pond to actively lobby against DJT being elected to position of POTUS47.
Curse this anti-western anti-white government of scumbags who are actively attempting to destroy their own citizens and society.

And every chance brought forth a noble knight,
deserve our gratitude, as do all the brave men who, in so many ways and on so many occasions, are ready, and continue ready to give life and all for their native land”
-Taken from the International Churchill Society
So much for the brave men battling against the enemies of that great land, I suppose?
Well said!
And by-the-by, I’m partial to thinking most of the World Cup ‘MERICA glazing is because they know they’re doomed, and want to move to the US permanently. I wouldn’t be surprised if at least half of them believe their flattery will help move them to the front of the line, or expedite the process when they file for US residency and ultimate citizenship.
I honestly feel bad for these folks.
In keeping with that honesty, I am more concerned that sh*t doesn’t happen HERE.
The UK gubmint has never been a friend to the USA. The people, yes, the gubmint, never.
“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
Much of the Democratic Policy and Rhetoric is based on 2+2=5 while then using government resources to damn anyone who chooses not to yeild to the pretense.
No permanent allies only permanent interests. Palmerston. Well that applies to england now!
The Home Secretary has a name that is our first clue to the decay.
A Star Wars name LoL
Along with the mayor of London. The most popular name for baby boys in the UK? Mohammad.
“She-banana Mahmood”
She-Banned Manhood.
I caught that as well, though I wonder what his motives are for not continuing the “it was just a random murder” narrative.
I knew it as soon as they released that WHITE guy they arrested.
The 28-year-old suspect, initially arrested on suspicion of murder, was rearrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism.
The originally arrested the right guy and then local police released him and began the cover-up… they were going to let him get away with it.
The corrupt and dumb local cops didn’t count on it becoming high profile, pols from reform stepped up pressure and Counterterrorism police were brought in to take over the investigation.
Oh boy.
Good!
That is incorrect.
The 26 yr old originally arrested was released and under no suspicion – cleared.
The 28 yr old, who did commit the brutal killing, was initially arrested on suspicion of murder, and after counter terrorism cops took over, they rearrested him on additional charges.
Their local cops do look extremely dumb. I honestly can’t understand it, but I assume the ones that love their country have quit already.
Brendan Kavanagh who plays the piano (mainly Boogie Woogie but he plays in other genres as well) in Pancras station in the UK was confronted by Chinese Communists who wanted him to stop filming (for his Youtube channel) and ultimately the police were called. The police that arrived were abysmally STUPID and just wanted Brendan to make the Chinese Communists happy and turn off his phone camera with which he was operating his Youtube channel. The police were taking the part of the Chinese Communists, not that of an Englishman.
It was quite something to watch and Brendan was steadfast in his persistence about not being shut down. This is England! We aren’t in Communist China!
re: “Brendan Kavanagh”
This is true; been following “Dr. K” for years now.
The J6ers would completely understand this story. Justice for the people wronged by Democrat/Communists.
Too bad they did not have PC Nicholas Angel on their Force. He would have solved the crime in under an hour.
I wonder how many of the cops are moo slim?
“British white suspect” shouldn’t this read “British non-tanned suspect”?
Doofus journalists. all too typical in our era, trying too hard to get adjective-order correct — e.g. colors usually closest to the noun, like “big red truck” — thoroughly blew that one.
God bless and keep her.
She is still a patriot.
You cannot kill the gift from God of FREEDOM.

Thank you, Sundance, for speaking truth. These specific words of truth should be read by all Americans-especially our young people.
May God continue to bless you!
And to think NSA et al are sharing who-knows-what with these fascist pro-communist creeps, their Five-Eyes Siamese twins. Everything about you, me, and everybody we love and respect. This could become almost as bad as the CCP having us cataloged to the nth.
Not many will know her name.
More will probably read and move on, not understanding that Ann, often a figure of ridicule, was a shining light for everything we should hold dear. And everything the debauched, evil forces which have destroyed Britain despise.
So of course the first words out of the mouths of the ideologically captured British Sturmabteilung were “in no way political”, when they knew that her murder…in her own home… was exactly that.
I am leaving an essay which celebrates Ann’s resolute, immutable character for anyone who had never heard of her…so it might be understood, beyond the horror of it, that a decreasingly sane, rebrobate world has lost one of the few fearless, resolute voices refusing to sit down and shut up.
God no doubt has welcomed a Christian warrior into Paradise.
The world’s loss is Heaven’s gain.
“Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave. Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.”

Very nice piece on Ms. Widdecombe.
I had never heard of her before. SD had retweeted this on x was my first seeing her
Hope this wasnt a repost here

The entire European Continent (sans Poland) has been taken over by the red/green axis….here are the costs
I would note one additional truth.
The British Police were forced to admit the truth about the murder of Ann Widdecombe only because of the public outcry over their obvious lies.
A critical mass of people were outraged over their government lying to them-so they yelled and screamed and pushed back against the lies.
And they were successful.
There’s a lesson in this story for Americans-particularly in light of President Trump’ National Address scheduled for tomorrow.
Has anyone been watching the YouTube videos of the fans from the UK, who came here for the FIFA games and toured around the US? Some are so funny, but underneath it, you see, especially in the men, a yearning for freedom and the angst they feel as they come to terms that they no longer have any Patriotic fervor in their country. Even, our beautiful flag and the way we embrace our love for our country, they can no longer show in public or on social media, for fear of being arrested. Some of these folks are brought yo tears. It is very sad to see. Stay strong, stay alert, and protect our RED WHITE AND BLUE.
Sadly, the admission won’t change a single UK policy.
True Colors. Eyes that can see and ears that can hear (it isn’t all that hard!)…
Goebbels (my emphasis): “According to the idea of the NSDAP [Nazi party], we are the German left. Nothing is more hateful to us than the right-wing national ownership block.”
Chip off the old block is 21st-century England (and surrounds).
The pattern remains the same, the wolves wraps themselves in the cloak of loving all, then when they get into the house, destroys all they touch. Communism wears the cloaks of socialism, altruism, ‘let’s all get along’ and here we are.
Glad there were enough people to make loud enough noise to force the powers that be admit the reality of the situation. Noise seems to be the lesson, and explains the push by the powers that be to silence voices.
The situation highlights why we feel that our 2nd Amendment rights should never, ever, be compromised. A midnight break-in should have been met with deadly force. She should have had, at the very least, a way to protect herself from the brutality. What is happening to women and girls in Europe is tragic, and it does reflect the islamic belief that women are only chattel, property, to be used, abused, and discarded at will. Marxism, at its core, has a very similar disregard for the value of each human being.

Yep. It’s not that they hate Trump for XYZ, it’s that they are the XYZ for which they hate others.
The Rhetoric out of the DSA/Communists that are gaining minds of young people (and dumb old poeple) is designed to hijack the limbic system. Once the emotion is triggered, logic has a hard time getting a seat at the table.
It’s just physics.
“after the discovery of Russian communist literature”
Got to get a link to the Russians, no use letting a tragedy go to waste.
I’m sure every book and pamphlet was clearly marked “Property of Russia.”
Nope, no Chinese knockoffs here. Pure Russian literature.
This is documented human history, not an opinion!
My dream of one day visiting England is dead. I’m afraid of being murdered, and then the police will arrive to serve tea and biscuits to my murderer while profusely apologizing for the inconvenience.

Communist says, “We have to kill you for the greater good.”
Funny how quickly they described the assassin as “a white British male.”
Usually takes forever for the police to describe a suspect as any of their pet minorities!!
I have repeated this many times but suffer with me again. Less than 20% of the population is born with a mutated amygdala. This is the brain area that responds to fear or flight. It also directs sexual desires according to many studies that mysteriously disappear from the web. These people have been ostracized at puberty by their peers for actions or words not in the mainstream. They will never forgive, forget or admit error. This is for whom we suffer.
Don’t trust the Democrats in your life wouldn’t do the same to you – especially the young ones. We have millions of crazy leftists in this country.
“Fascists,” “Brownshirts,” “jackbooted stormtroopers”—such are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst?
Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitler’s National Socialism and Mussolini’s Fascism.
Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term “National socialism”). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities—where campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist.
Do these striking parallels mean that today’s liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order? Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W.E.B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitler’s Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal.
Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a “friendlier,” more liberal form. The modern heirs of this “friendly fascist” tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isn’t an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.
Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg (A red diaper baby who actually saw the light when the USSR fell)
(disclaimer : by no means do I support all of Goldberg’s views especially when he buys into the myth that there are fascists on the political right)
Fascism and Communism are splinters from Socialism and they are on the left side of the political spectrum and will always be there fighting against each other to control the same people who buy into socialist ideas – my conclusion
All such wrongheaded movements are encouraged by the oligarchs and big corp and banks and of course the city of London…….they just want to control the world and don’t care which political donkey they ride to control the people. – again, my own personal view
Let no one try to define President Trump’s view of nationalism as falling into any of these definitions, President Trump is first and foremost an American patriot to American foundational ideals.
Leftists are not stable people.
Our neighbors are leftists.
Last fall, neighbor’s wife comes out screaming at my wife about how wrong my wife is for trimming bushes on our property. My wife was quite shaken, and she can handle herself in situations.
This spring I notice the bushes are just fine and beginning to bud out. I made a mental note to show my wife. Later on, I show the wife. She is excited.
We turn to go about our business, on our property, and the next thing I know the neighbor himself is running straight at us screaming about leaving those bushes alone.
Dude, calm yourself down. And, get off of our property, NOW!
There is much more to the story.
I’m sharing this post with my wife as she wants to believe the neighbors learned their lesson.
I know better.
Leaving one’s home in search of a better more welcoming place to live is as old as mankind. The problem today is that the totalitarians that are driving the narrative in the Western ‘democracies’ are worldwide. At this point it is better to stand our ground and fight it out and save your home or die trying.
What makes propaganda uniquely identifiable as “Russian communist literature” and why is it necessary to call that out specifically in news reporting? /s
