A viral video of a man taunting Polish taxpayers while waving banknotes and boasting about living on state benefits has exploded across social media in Poland, prompting a prominent Polish MEP to publicly crowdsource the man’s personal details — as the clip exposes deep tensions over immigration and welfare in one of Europe’s most tightly controlled benefit systems. The video, posted to TikTok by a user identified as Ibrahim Pantera — described in local reports as a personal trainer based in the Brzeg area of Poland — shows a man speaking directly to camera in English while flashing Polish zloty…

Green Party candidates who won seats in the UK local elections have delivered victory speeches in non-English languages, with footage showing newly elected councillors addressing supporters primarily in Bengali and opening with the Arabic greeting “As-salamu alaykum” — meaning “peace be upon you” — in what has sparked fresh debate about identity politics and integration in British public life. The scenes, captured in Newham, east London — home to one of the largest Bangladeshi-origin communities in the country — show a newly elected Green councillor greeting supporters in Arabic before switching to Bengali to address what he described as “our…

A British independent journalist and YouTuber with more than 200,000 subscribers has been hospitalised with multiple facial fractures and a concussion after being attacked while filming the annual May Day protests in Paris, in an incident he has attributed to Antifa militants. Wesley Winter, who documents protests and political events across Europe, says he was ambushed and beaten by a group of attackers near Place de la Nation on 1 May while filming alone amid clashes between demonstrators and police involving tear gas. He says his attackers used knuckle dusters, stole his camera and microphone, and that the assault felt…

Tony Robinson, the 79-year-old actor best known for playing the bumbling Baldrick in Blackadder, has become the unlikely target of widespread ridicule on X after posting an energetic video urging voters to back Labour on one of the most consequential election days since the party’s 2024 general election victory. The clip, which circulated rapidly on Thursday morning, shows Robinson dancing and jogging down a street in a green shirt, arms flailing, with bold red text overlaid on the screen reading “Vote TODAY Vote Change Vote Labour.” The TikTok-style video sees him pointing at the camera, grinning and spinning toward a…

A video produced by a World Health Organisation collaborator showing a facilitator discussing genital pleasure and masturbation with children as young as four has gone viral, igniting a fierce international debate about the boundaries of sex education in schools and the role of global health bodies in shaping what children are taught. The footage was produced by Rutgers, a Netherlands-based sexual health organisation and formal WHO collaborator. In the clip, a female facilitator calmly questions two young children — a girl of approximately nine and a younger boy — about their bodies. The facilitator explains to the girl that touching…

Video footage appearing to show a man brazenly pickpocketing a victim in broad daylight on a busy Brixton street has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage over street crime levels in one of south London’s most high-crime areas. The approximately 16-second clip, filmed near a NatWest branch and bus shelter in Brixton, shows a man in a dark jacket and grey trousers approaching a younger person wearing a white sweater, black cap and backpack near an Arriva bus. Using conversation and gestures as a distraction, the man bends down and rummages through the victim’s pockets and bag area near the bus…

A Green Party councillor has provoked widespread condemnation after appearing to express sympathy for an Afghan asylum seeker who was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in her own council borough, describing the attack as “the rape and what have you” and suggesting the rapist was among those whose lives had been ruined. Michele Kondakor, who represents the Weddington ward on Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, made the remarks in a video shared on social media on 6 May 2026. In the clip, she said: “Lives are ruined all around, you know — the asylum seekers, these very young people,…

Kemi Badenoch has declared antisemitism a “national emergency” and refused to back down after being confronted by a heckler at a local event in Billericay, Essex, who attempted to draw an equivalence between attacks on Jewish people and those on Muslims. The Conservative leader was speaking about the normalisation of hatred towards Jewish communities at the Monday event when the woman interrupted. Badenoch held her ground, and later posted a lengthy statement on X setting out her position in full — a post that has since been widely shared and drawn sharply divided responses. “British Jews are being targeted and…

Elderly patients are being turned away from GP surgeries and forced to book appointments online in breach of NHS contract rules — with one 92-year-old woman left to drain a lump on her own hand using a sterilised Stanley knife after failing to secure a consultation for 18 months. A survey of 926 older people by Re-engage, a charity tackling loneliness in old age, found that as many as one in three people aged 75 and over had been made to submit online forms to see a doctor. The findings, published in a report titled Care On Hold, come despite…

Britain’s Royal Navy has been left with just five active frigates after HMS Iron Duke was quietly withdrawn from service despite a £103 million refit completed only two years ago that was supposed to extend its operational life until 2028, raising serious questions about the country’s naval readiness at a time of mounting threats from Russia and ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The Type 23 frigate has been stripped of its weapons and sensors and has not put to sea since October, according to Navy Lookout, which first reported the withdrawal. The outlet calculated that following the almost five-year…
