What is happening in Minnesota? Extensive fraud has been uncovered involving the Somalian community, high level officials are implicated, local law enforcement is not actively assisting federal agencies such as ICE which has come under attack for arresting illegal immigrants and shooting of two civilians inMinneapolis. On top of this, radical external organisations and individuals are funding the violent protests. To de-escalate the situation, Trump has sent in "border tsar" Tom Homan to take over on-the-ground operations. This is what insurrection looks like?

We discuss with Joachim Hagopian about what is behind this mess and where its likely to end.

Joachim Hagopian is a West Point graduate, former Army officer and author of "Don't Let the Bastards Getcha Down".

The Protagonist: ISIS Brides, Crowborough & Increasing Costs of Asylum Seekers.

Facilitating the secret return of Isis brides who left the UK to join a terrorist cult, the filling of defence barracks with illegal immigrants in a small town with single young men free to come and go at will, the astronomical costs of housing asylum seekers that have become a permanent astronomical part of the UK budget. The flood of illegals in the UK while somewhat less in scale to that experienced in America looks and feels like it is wholly sanctioned by the Government. Again one has to ask, how do these representatives sit by and watch public finances and social cohesion deteriorate - creating grounds for dangerous public insurrection?

While some in the media are covering the public unrest and trying to hold incompetent ministers to account, these pressures are clearly insufficient to bring the madness to an end. UK borders are still open, few if anyone are being deported or locked up or assessed for genuine claims for asylum and the public is forced to lump it?

It is hard to understand how opposition parliamentarians and are allowing the Government to get away with it..but we saw it happen under Covid. The Tories cannot sit back smugly as it was under their Government that the rot commenced. Can Nigel Farage do enough from his position. Politics would dictate that he is sitting pretty but is he? Should the outrage be greater?
