The Wall Street Journal is reporting that UK special forces are “operating very close to the front lines” in Ukraine as that nation’s war with Russia drags on and as NATO powers push to play a more active role on the ground. The Wall Street Journal report is corroborated in part by recently leaked US documents that revealed that American and British special forces, as well as special forces from other NATO nations, are actively operating on the ground in Ukraine.

“UK special forces from the British Army’s SAS and SRR regiments and the Navy’s SBS units are operating very close to the front lines in Ukraine,” the Wall Street Journal has reported.

“These personnel are serving as key interlocutors between NATO intelligence efforts & Ukrainian forces,” the report went on to reveal.

Also in the Wall Street Journal report, it was suggested that the UK is pushing for the United States to take an even more aggressive posture on Ukraine than it already has.

The report comes as both nations have been revealed to have special forces operating in Ukraine, by way of a recent classified document leak in the United States. In addition to revealing that US and UK troops are on the ground in Ukraine, the report revealed that NATO governments and media outlets are lying about casualty figures in the Russo-Ukrainian War, so as to minimize PR damage for the Zelensky government.

The Wall Street Journal report on UK special forces troops in Ukraine also comes as the UK is being criticized for supplying Ukraine with depleted uranium munitions, which are part of the nuclear weapon family and leave catastrophic results in their wake.

Recently, a Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian weapons depot resulted in a massive mushroom cloud that was seen for miles, and in elevated radiation levels in the vicinity of the depot. It has been widely reported that the Ukrainian weapons depot was holding British and NATO-supplied depleted uranium shells, which detonated en masse thanks to enemy fire.

Bank of England Expected to Announce Digital Currency Plan Next Week https://nationalfile.com/bank-of-england-expected-to-announce-digital-currency-plan-next-week/ Wed, 08 Feb 2023 22:11:39 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=58230 Last Updated on February 8, 2023

The Bank of England, in conjunction with the United Kingdom’s Treasury, is exploring the possibility of a digital currency that will “likely” become a “necessity” in the near future.

“On the basis of our work to date, the Bank of England and HM Treasury judge that it is likely a digital pound will be needed in the future,” said Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and finance minister Jeremy Hunt in a joint report.

“It is too early to commit to build the infrastructure for one, but we are convinced that further preparatory work is justified,” the report continued, according to The Telegraph.

The Bank of England declined to comment on the paper’s report, but said a joint consultation on digital currency issues would be published shortly.

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak asked the Bank of England to explore the possibility of a digital currency in 2021, when he was serving as finance minister. In October, financial services minister Andrew Griffith said Britain could not avoid the issue indefinitely.

Elsewhere on the continent, the European Central Bank is working on a digital version of its currency and is in the process of outlining the broader design, Reuters reported. In a statement last month, the European Central Bank stated that it would not offer personal bank accounts, though it would allow person-to-person payments.

The Bank of International Settlements, a forum for central banks, announced this past June that digital currencies are needed to “modernize finance.”

U.K. Woman Arrested for Silently Praying Outside Abortion Clinic https://nationalfile.com/u-k-woman-arrested-for-silently-praying-outside-abortion-clinic/ Fri, 23 Dec 2022 02:34:58 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=57225 Last Updated on December 22, 2022

Civil liberties advocates are outraged after a pro-life woman was interrogated and eventually arrested for silently praying outside an abortion clinic in the United Kingdom. The woman who was arrested, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, is the director of the U.K. March for Life, Fox News reported.

According to Alliance Defending Freedom UK (ADF UK), Vaughan-Spruce “was standing near the BPAS Robert Clinic in Kings Norton, Birmingham in an area ADF UK called a ‘censorship zone,’ when police approached her after an onlooker complained she might be praying outside the abortion facility.”

According to ADF UK, Birmingham officials have established buffer zones in front of abortion clinics that make protesting outside them illegal. Barred activities include “graphic, verbal or written means, prayer or counseling.”

A viral clip of the incident shows the woman silently standing on the sidewalk across from the abortion clinic as two law enforcement officers approach her. One asks why she is standing across from the facility, prompting Vaughan-Spruce to say that she was there because of the clinic.

She denied that she was part of any organized protest.

The officer then asks, “Are you praying?” to which she responds, “I might be praying in my head.”

The officer then asked if she would be willing to come to the station to answer some questions about her activities. “If I’ve got a choice, then no,” she responded. At that point, she was placed under arrest for “suspicion of failing to comply with Public Spaces Protection Order.”

Vaughan-Spruce was later charged last week with four counts of failing to comply with a Public Space Protection Order. The directive is supposed to allow local authorities to “counter unreasonable and persistent behavior that affects the quality of life of its residents,” though it remains unclear which specific behaviors violate the law, the National Review reported.

“The PSPO protecting the area around Robert Clinic focuses on ensuring people visiting and working there have clear access without fear of confrontation. Any local authority seeking to implement a PSPO must have robust evidence for its introduction, which guides the conditions and location – this includes concerns and complaints received from the community,” a Birmingham City Council spokesperson announced when the order was granted.

The CIA Opened A Dossier On Jeremy Corbyn in 1986 https://nationalfile.com/the-cia-opened-a-dossier-on-jeremy-corbyn-in-1986/ Thu, 22 Dec 2022 17:06:38 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=57163 Last Updated on December 22, 2022

In an interview on podcast, The Watchdog, British investigative journalist, Matt Kennard, revealed that as part of the U.S. State Department-funded “British-American Project,” British politician, Jeremy Corbyn, was monitored by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as far as back as 1986.

“And this came out, the CIA declassified a lot of files in 2017 when Corbyn was leader which were covered in the press. It’s an interesting time to declassify those files, but it basically showed they were concerned about him and there was a specific reference to him in El Salvador, they were monitoring in El Salvador and that there was another reference to him as well.” Kennard said.

“They explicitly said in this internal report that they declassified the biggest threat to U.S. interest would be a win for Michael Foot in the 1983 election. I mean, we know this happens, but it’s quite good to see it there in black and white,” the journalist said.

“And just so we can be clear, the declassified documents which show that the CIA was surveilling Jeremy Corbyn was from what year?” the podcast host asked.

“1986, and they weren’t directly surveilling. He was travelling to El Salvador. This was the time of the Civil War and he was a supporter of a union called Finestra, which was allied to the Marxist guerrillas, while the U.S. was supporting the military government,” the investigative journalist said. “They probably were surveilling him, but it was more just the intelligence report about [his comings and goings].”

“He also appeared in the WikiLeaks State Department cables. That’s in the article too. There was a demonstration against the war in Iraq in 2002 in Istanbul which he spoke at and was apparently monitored by embassy staff,” Kennard added. “They described what the chance were and they said something along the lines of…it was also attended…and that the speakers included British politician Jeremy Corbyn.”

“So Corbyn and Foot were kind of like, well complete outliers in the Labour Party,” Kennard explained. “The Labour party is effectively set up to neutralize any kind of anti-war left and anti-imperialist left, that’s its role.”

The CIA has come under increased public scrutiny for its implication in the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy.

This very topic was discussed on Tucker Carlson’s primetime broadcast on Fox News on Thursday.

“[We spoke to someone who had access to these still-hidden CIA documents, a person who’s deeply familiar with what they contain. We asked this person directly: Did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy, an American president?” Carlson stated in his broadcast.

“The answer is yes [they were involved in the assassination of JFK]. I believe they were involved. It’s a whole different country from what we thought it was. It’s all fake,” the source told Carlson.

Survey: 70% of Children Aged 7-12 Have Climate Change-Related Anxiety https://nationalfile.com/survey-70-of-children-aged-7-12-have-climate-anxiety/ Sat, 26 Nov 2022 16:10:19 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=56491 Last Updated on November 26, 2022

A survey conducted by the UK-based eco-grocery startup Modern Milkman found that more than 70 percent of children between the ages of 7 and 12 now have anxiety due climate change.

According to a report from Euronews, the survey polled 1,000 children within the age bracket between 2010 and 2015. It asked for their views on the environment and whether they were concerned about climate change, among other things.

In total, 71% of respondents indicated that climate change is a source of fear and anxiety in their lives.

More than a quarter (27%) of surveyed children said that harm to animals is a chief concern, while one-in-four cited effects of plastic pollution. Almost a fifth of children pointed to a fear of rising temperatures.

“The results show that environmental challenges are having a prominent effect on the children of today, proving that it’s never been more important to educate communities on the actions they can take to protect our planet,” said Simon Mellin, the CEO and founder of Modern Milkman.

In terms of action, the vast majority of respondents (85%) said every individual has a responsibility to tackle climate change.

The study comes as massive increases in mental health issues affecting children have been reported across the western world in the aftermath of pandemic-related lockdowns and remote learning. A 2020 report from the CDC stated that 44% of American teenagers reported feeling “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.”

20% indicated that they had contemplated suicide, while another 9% stated that they had attempted to kill themselves.

A more recent survey from the U.K. found that 54% of girls between the ages of 16 and 17 reported experiencing “elevated psychological distress” over the last twelve months.

Climate change-related anxiety, commonly known as “eco-anxiety,” has been an increasing issue among children in recent years, numerous studies have found. The growing issue comes as schools increasingly focus on an often-bleak outlook of the planet’s future.

UK: Police Investigate Teacher for Stating That Muslim Hijackers Were Responsible for 9/11 https://nationalfile.com/uk-police-investigate-teacher-for-stating-that-muslim-hijackers-were-responsible-for-9-11/ Tue, 22 Nov 2022 16:18:06 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=56414 Last Updated on November 22, 2022

A criminal complaint has been filed against a teacher who pointed out the fact that Muslim hijackers were responsible for the September 11 attacks. The teacher’s comments were made in an effort to stop Muslim students from heckling Khakan Qureshi, a speaker who had been invited to the school to talk about his experience being Muslim and gay. While the teacher tried to keep his statements politically correct, he is now the subject of a police investigation.

Students at the Wood Green Academy in the West Midlands “kept on saying that you cannot be gay and Muslim, because that contradicts the Qur’an,” the Daily Mail reported. Nearly half of the student body is comprised of Muslims due to rapid demographic change in the West Midlands.

After the speech, the teacher lectured the students on tolerance and asked them to be more respectful. “We live in a diverse and tolerant country. We are tolerant of different religions. Twenty-one years ago a group of Muslims smashed airplanes into buildings to kill thousands of people. At that stage people stood up and said, ‘No, we must not condemn Muslims for what a few have done,'” the teacher said. “Because we are a tolerant society, and that means we may not like some things that you say but you do have the right to say them.”

Despite the fact that the teacher was trying to say that all Muslims should not be blamed for 9/11, his remarks were recorded and led to a massive backlash that included death threats. A complaint sent to the school by hundreds of students and parents asked, “Why did he use the word Muslims as opposed to terrorists?”

“He has linked terrorism directly to Muslims and Islam. His tone is extremely aggressive, and I struggle to understand how this is considered appropriate behavior.”

The West Midlands Police Department has said it is “working with the school and looking into the content of the videos.”

They are also investigating the abuse and threats towards Qureshi.

‘What Happens When You Demonize Migrants’ Labour MP Downplays Migrant Rape of Teenage Boy https://nationalfile.com/what-happens-when-you-demonize-migrants-labour-mp-says-about-migrant-rape-of-teenage-boy/ Fri, 04 Nov 2022 15:53:52 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=55880 Last Updated on November 4, 2022

Labour MP Dianne Abbott says the alleged rape of a teenage boy at a hotel used to house illegal migrants using taxpayer funds is “what happens when you demonize migrants.”

One boy was reportedly raped while another was sexually assaulted at a London hotel being used to house migrants. An unidentified man in his 30’s has been arrested in connection with the rape, while a 17-year-old has been charged with committing the sexual assault, which reportedly involved a child under the age of 13.

“Police were called on Wednesday, 5 October to a report of a rape at a hotel in Waltham Forest,” a Metropolitan Police spokesman said of the October incident. “Officers attended and spoke to the victim, a boy in his teens, and his family. Specialist support is being provided,” he continued.

The man — who was staying in the hotel as part of a program that uses taxpayer funds to house migrants in hotels — has since been bailed out and released following his arrest.

Dianne Abbott, a veteran Labour politician who previously served as the party’s  Shadow Home Secretary until 2020 and currently serves on the Home Affairs and Justice select committees of the House of Commons, commented on the incident in a tweet.

“Teenage boy raped at hotel housing refugees. Terrible case. But it is what happens when you demonise migrants and take NO responsibility for safeguarding migrant children,” Abbott wrote.

Abbott is no stranger to controversial statements that aggravate ethnic tensions. In 2021, she falsely claimed that Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson was shot in the head because she “stood up for racial justice.”

Authorities later reported that Johnson was caught in the crossfire of a gang-related shooting that involved black men.

Transgender Pedophile Avoids Prison After Judge Says It Would be Too Difficult to ‘Cope’ With https://nationalfile.com/transgender-pedophile-avoids-prison-after-judge-says-it-would-be-too-difficult-to-cope-with/ Sun, 05 Jun 2022 01:01:36 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=52730 Last Updated on June 4, 2022

A biological male British pedophile who identifies as a transgender woman has avoided punishment after the judge overseeing his case ruled that sending him to prison would make it too difficult to “cope” with the “anxiety” surrounding his transgenderism.

68-year-old convicted pedophile Peter Selby, of the UK, was found with over 125,000 images and videos of child sex abuse stored on various electronic devices, some depicting children as young as 3-years-old. Among the child pornography found in the home of transgender pedophile Peter Selby was 2,400 images and videos of children classified by UK authorities as “Category A,” meaning they depicted “penetrative sexual activity, bestiality, and/or sexual sadism.”

According to local media reports, Selby confessed his guilt to police immediately upon their search of his home for the materials, claiming that his addiction to adult pornography had “morphed” into pedophilia.

Though Peter Selby was convicted of crimes at trial and sentenced to 14 months of incarceration, he will avoid prison or jail altogether thanks to him “identifying” as a transgender woman. Despite the judge’s admission at sentencing that Selby’s conviction proved “just how deviant [his] sexual desires are,” he was let off the hook because of his transgenderism, with the judge expressing concerns over how he would “cope” with the “anxiety” of being a trans in prison.

“You identify as transgender and that has caused issues for you and anxiety for you in how you would cope with that if you were immediately sent to prison,” the judge said at sentencing, opting to instead suspend the jail term which, under UK law, allows offenders to completely avoid incarceration. Instead, Selby will merely attend counseling and register as a sex offender for 10 years.

“You are someone who is transgender and the impact of custody would be significant for you in the circumstances,” said the judge, justifying the incredibly light sentence.

Offensive Tweet Leads to 150 Hours of Community Service for UK Man https://nationalfile.com/offensive-tweet-leads-to-150-hours-of-community-service-for-uk-man/ Thu, 31 Mar 2022 16:26:37 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=51513 Last Updated on March 31, 2022

A Twitter user who was convicted of posting a “grossly offensive tweet” has been sentenced to 150 hours of community service. Joseph Kelly, a 36-year-old man from Scotland, posted a tweet last year about Captain Sir Thomas Moore, a British war veteran who became a national hero for raising money for healthcare workers in 2020, according to the New York Post.

A day after Moore died, Kelly wrote that the “only good British soldier is a dead one” in a tweet. Kelly was drunk and deleted the tweet within 20 minutes, his attorney Tony Callahan told The National. “His level of criminality was a drunken post, at a time when he was struggling emotionally, which he regretted and almost instantly removed,” Callahan reportedly said, noting that Kelly had a miniscule number of followers.

“He accepts he was wrong,” Callahan added. “He did not anticipate what would happen. He took steps almost immediately to delete the tweet but the genie was out of the bottle by then.”

Despite this, British prosecutors sought jail time over the tweet. Under a controversial UK law that punishes online posts. Posts deemed “grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character” can lead to jail time, and in the case of Kelly, prosecutors were seeking six months behind bars.

Sheriff Adrian Cottam, who was responsible for Kelly’s sentencing, reportedly said in court that his punishment was important for “deterrence.” “It’s important for other people to realize how quickly things can get out of control,” Cottam reportedly said. “You are a good example of that, not having many followers.”

In a similar instance, a 12-year-old boy was arrested for writing a “grossly offensive” tweet about a professional soccer player. “We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a footballer today and after looking into them and conducting checks, we have arrested a boy,” wrote UK law enforcement officials in a tweet. “The 12-year-old from #Solihull has been taken to custody. Thanks to everyone who raised it. Racism won’t be tolerated.”

Wilfried Zaha — an African born UK soccer player who makes close to seven million dollars per year — called for action against the boy after being targeted by the offensive tweet. “Woke up to this today,” Zaha posted on Twitter alongside screenshots. The tweet later went viral, as Zaha has close to a million followers, and the 12-year-old was arrested.

Tommy Robinson’s Car Firebombed Ahead of ‘Rape of Britain’ Documentary Release https://nationalfile.com/tommy-robinsons-car-firebombed-ahead-rape-britain-documentary-release/ Wed, 05 Jan 2022 20:30:35 +0000 https://nationalfile.com/?p=40858 Last Updated on January 5, 2022

British journalist and activist Tommy Robinson was the victim of a violent crime after his car was “blown up in a petrol bomb attack” by arsonists outside a hotel after he released a trailer for an upcoming film about Muslim rape gangs in the United Kingdom.

Tommy Robinson confirmed on a Gettr live broadcast that one of several arson attacks  that took place on the evening of January 2nd was his car.

According to a report from the Shropshire Star, the blaze began shortly after 8pm on Sunday outside the Whitehouse Hotel.

“A fire crew from Wellington brought the blaze under control in an hour long operation with firefighters wearing breathing apparatus to protect themselves,” the report continued.

“The cause of the blaze has not yet been revealed.”

According to Robinson in addition to the bombing of his vehicle, there were other attacks that night, “One of which we have had information that it was a [rape gang] survivor’s house.” Robinson claims “There were three other arson attacks.” Robinson was unaware of any connection between his and the two other attacks at the time of his livestream.

A video of Robinson recorded at the police station after making a report was posted to social media by Cassandra MacDonald of Tim Pool’s news website and The Gateway Pundit.

Robinson suggested the police may not want the documentary to be released.

“The problem we have is the police probably don’t want that film to come out either, which is why people have been left in venerable positions.”

Robinson’s vehicle was reportedly set on fire in Telford just a day after Robinson released a trailer for an upcoming documentary on Muslim grooming gangs in the UK.

The documentary, titled “The Rape of Britain”, will expose the names and faces of those involved with Muslim migrant gangs responsible for numerous sexual assaults in Telford and other towns.

In the trailer, an alleged survivor names Gulfraz Khan as the leader of one such group. Robinson also states that there are five women in Telford alone that have been killed by the gang.

Robinson spoke with the Gateway Pundit about the attack on Monday. “These gangs are waging war on the survivors and anyone who is investigating them. Maybe this is the reason that mainstream journalists shy away from this problem. Maybe they’re all scared of these gangs. The problem is, we’re not scared. This won’t deter us. Nothing will deter us,” Robinson said.

In a GETTR live stream on January 5, Robinson revealed that he is leaving the residence due to fear of the “Pakistani rape gangs” that he believes perpetrated the attack.

“I know how heavily linked these men are,” said Robinson. “I know the level of criminality they’re involved in and they wont think twice and they’re not thinking twice.”

Robinson also that there have been several arson attacks, at least one of which was against a survivor he knows of, in Telford over the last week. At least two of them were similar arson attacks on vehicles.

One of the survivors and her family reportedly began to receive threats following the attack, according to Robinson.

When she reported the violent harassment to the Telford police, they reportedly did nothing, prompting Robinson and some associates to protect the family and assist with moving them out of the home.

Four years ago Robinson was investigating potential links between British Parliament and Muslim rape gangs when his car was attacked and chased.

Robinson has since lost three cars to bombings, but this first incident took place when he was planning to approach a member of British Parliment concerning his connection to the Rochdale Sex Gang.

The Counselor in question, Aftab Hussain, had expressed support for Abdul Qayyum, who had been convicted in the Rochdale sex gang trial.

Robinson was attempting to call for the resignation of Hussain out of respect for the 98 child victims.

Robinson is now asking the public for help with donations to help protect survivors and the people working on the documentary, who have received numerous violent threats.
