I see experts warning & writing about the mainstreaming of the far right. It's already happened & should not have taken a nazi salute to see it. If you think counterextremism or liberal centrism are solutions, you have not been paying attention. Better late than never though.

A Britain focused party cannot have a Mohammedan as the chair.
Islam is not your friend if you believe in free speech, family and British culture.
You cannot buy us.
We are not for sale.

“This reflects what we’ve seen for too long," says our Director of Campaigns.
Women face prison instead of support for domestic abuse, mental ill-health & homelessness.

The University of Hertfordshire conducted a feasibility study exploring the British Islamic Medical Association’s (BIMA) culturally adapted, “faith-placed” educational intervention aimed at increasing the uptake of bowel cancer screening in Muslim communities. The results suggested that the intervention was more effective than conventional cancer screening campaigns in conveying the health message.
As of January 2025, the bowel cancer screening age has been reduced to 50, as per new NHS England guidelines.
