Various patriot groups will be meeting in Brighton on Saturday 2nd June to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Meeting place will be messaged out by text. Please note this is not a demo, or a march, and colours are not to be worn. This is our country and we will not be discouraged from celebrating our patriotism by Anarchists and other unwashed tramps. See you there.

Five men have today (Friday) been sentenced to a total of over 38 years after subjecting two teenage girls to a harrowing two day ordeal in a house and hotel in Birmingham.
The men were found guilty on 14 March at Birmingham Crown Court of offences linked to child sexual exploitation after the two girls had been brought into Birmingham from Telford and held over a period of nearly two days in a house and hotel in November 2009.
The girls, aged 15 and 16 at the time, were lured to Birmingham from their Telford homes and over the next 36 hours were used for the sexual gratification by Shamrez Rashid, aged 20, and Amar Hussain, aged 22, and then by a steady stream of young men – first in a cramped flat in Highgate Street and then in a nearby hotel.
Rashid and Hussain took advantage of the girls’ ignorance of their surroundings and their lack of resources to effectively detain them. They eventually escaped from the hotel with one of the girls wearing no shoes; they found a payphone and called police.
Shamrez Rashid, from Bordesley Green, was found guilty of child abduction, two rapes, attempted rape and attempted sexual assault. Sentenced to 11 years.
Amar Hussain, from Balsall Heath, was found guilty of child abduction, three rapes and attempt sexual assault. Sentenced to ten years.
Jahbar Rafiq, aged 28 from Aston, was found guilty of rape and sexual assault. Sentenced to eight years.
Adil Saleem, aged 20 from Yardley, was found guilty of rape. Sentenced to eight years.
Amer Islam Choudhrey, aged 20 from Selly Park, was found guilty of child abduction and sexual assault. Sentenced to 15 months.
A 20-year-old man also standing trial was found not guilty of sexual assault.
One of the victims, who cannot be identified, spoke briefly on the affect the ordeal has had on her: “I find it very hard to describe the affect of what happened has had on me… no-one could ever understand how I felt at the time and the shame afterwards.
“It is something that I had learned to cope with myself and deal with alone.”
Detective Inspector Caroline Marsh, from the public protection unit, said: “This has been a protracted and complex investigation since it began in 2009.
“Clearly, dealing with victims who have been subjected to such a horrific and prolonged series of attacks has been extremely difficult. We have supported them every step of the way and hope today helps to bring some sort of closure to them and their families.
“The girls have shown great courage throughout the trial which has obviously been a very difficult experience for them particularly being cross examined at length by so many barristers.
“Their evidence has been crucial to ensuring that this can never happen to another young girl in the future.”

A Conservative MP was sent a threatening email telling her she would have to choose which one of her children would die, a court has heard.
Mother-of-three Louise Mensch, who is MP for Corby in Northamptonshire, was told she faced a “Sophie’s Choice” – a reference to a novel and later film in which heroine Sophie has to choose between the life of her son or daughter at a Nazi concentration camp.
The sinister email was purportedly sent from the online hacking group Anonymous, Gloucester Magistrates’ Court heard.
However, police later arrested and charged Frank Zimmerman – a 60-year-old agoraphobic living in a run-down house in Gloucester.
Zimmerman, of Spinney Road, Barnwood, Gloucester, was accused of an offence of sending by public communication network an offensive, indecent, obscene, menacing message or matter on 22 August last year.
The court heard that Zimmerman had failed to attend any court appearance to answer the single charge he faced or give proper instructions to his solicitor – blaming his agoraphobia and depression.
Defence solicitor Charles Cronin told District Judge Martin Brown that he had spoken to Zimmerman by telephone and that he would not be attending court and was instead going back to bed.
In the defendant’s absence, Judge Brown decided to proceed without him and held a hearing to determine whether Zimmerman had committed the offence.
Prosecutor Gaon Hart told the court that that Zimmerman had sent the email to Mrs Mensch after she had spoken out publicly during last summer’s riots calling for the police to be able to temporarily close down social network sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, if necessary.
Zimmerman originally made contact with the chick lit author-turned-MP on Twitter using the pseudonym Tim Cavendish.
He claimed he had information about Piers Morgan and the telephone hacking scandal engulfing the News of the World.
Mrs Mensch sent him her personal gmail email address. It was to that account that Zimmerman sent the threatening message, the court heard.
The email, which was timed at 10.47pm on 22 August, was sent from an account with the address of lulz.sec@hotmail.com – a reference to the internet hacking group Lulz Security.
The email said:
“Subject: You have been HACKED 
Louise Mensch, nee Bagshawe, the slut of Twitter.
We are Anonymous and we don’t like rude c**** like you and your nouveau riche husband Peter Mensch. You have been hacked!
We are inside your computer and all your phones, everywhere… and inside your homes.
So get off Twitter.
We see you are still on Twitter. We have sent a camera crew to photograph you and your kids and will post it all over the net, including Twitter. C***face.
You now have a Sophie’s Choice. Which kid is to go? One will, count on it c***.
Have a nice day
From all of us at MIT 617-253-1000″
Mr Hart said the reference to MIT followed by a US telephone number was to give the impression the email had been sent from hackers linked to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mrs Mensch was in New York with her husband recovering from an operation while her three children were with their father, her ex-husband, in the UK.
The MP took the threats seriously and immediately contacted the police, the court was told.
In a victim impact statement read to the court, Mrs Mensch spoke of her terror at receiving the threat.
“I was terrified on behalf of my children. I was in New York with my husband recovering from an operation and my children were with their father and to receive a threat like this made me very upset,” she said.
“I was 3,000 miles away from my children and I was worried for their safety and the safety of my ex-husband. I felt powerless to do anything.”
Mrs Mensch said that after receiving the email she was sent a Twitter message from someone called “Robert Redford”.
“He made reference to the contents of the email and that one of my children would die and it made me believe he was responsible,” she said.
Zimmerman first became a suspect for threatening Mrs Mensch when Independent newspaper columnist Terence Blacker, who was a former neighbour of the defendant in London, received a similar email.
A forensic examination linked the sender of the email to the IP and router addresses of Zimmerman’s Virgin Media account at his home in Gloucester.
Police visited his house and he volunteered the password for his computer, the court was told.
Examination of that computer found Zimmerman had a series of tabs on his internet browser open at the Twitter accounts of Tim Cavendish, Mrs Mensch, Piers Morgan and Lord Prescott.
He also had pages open on BBC News Online of reports of Mrs Mensch receiving threats to her children by email, an article on the News of the World hacking scandal and a story on the hacking group Anonymous.
There was also a page open for a Skype account in the name of Tim Cavendish.
Detective Constable Iqbal Azad told the court: “We were able to trace the internet service provider and it was an internet broadband account held by Mr Frank Zimmerman at his home address.”
Judge Brown said he had to rule on whether the email sent to Mrs Mensch was malicious, and if it was, had Zimmerman sent it.
He said he was satisfied the email was malicious and added: “The court needs to be satisfied that this email can be linked to the defendant.
“The very helpful evidence of Det Con Azad has been clear that there is a direct link to the IP address that has been identified as coming from Mr Zimmerman’s computer.
“It does not appear in question in my mind that the prosecution have established a direct link by the email received by Louise Mensch and the computer that was found at the defendant’s address.
“I can be satisfied that this was a malicious communication sent by Mr Zimmerman from his computer at his home address.
“I can therefore be satisfied that he committed the act in question and the offence has been committed.”
The judge said he had decided not to issue an immediate warrant for Zimmerman’s arrest without bail and was releasing him on unconditional bail until he is sentenced on 8 May.
He told Mr Hart: “If he does not attend on that date, and unless circumstances change, he must understand I am being left with very little alternative but to issue a warrant.”
Following the judge’s ruling, Mr Hart said the Crown would be applying at the sentencing hearing for a restraining order against Zimmerman, preventing him contacting “other high-profile individuals”.
Details of the proposed order were not revealed in court.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Hart, who is part of the Crown Prosecution Service’s special crime and counter-terrorism division, said: “The right to freedom of speech is accompanied by laws that protect individuals from those who seek to abuse that freedom and use the anonymity of email or Twitter accounts to hide from the fear that they cause.
“Zimmerman attempted to use pseudonyms and other methods to wage a campaign of fear against a high-profile person, thinking that he was safe from detection.
“He was wrong. This should be a salutary lesson for anyone who considers that they are above the law because they threaten others through a computer rather than on the streets.
“I would also like to thank officers from the Metropolitan Police Central e-crime unit for their hard work.”

A woman was punched in the head during a ‘cowardly’ afternoon robbery carried out by two teenagers.
Police said the 30-year-old victim parked her car in Alexandra Street off London Road, near the junction with Brockholes View in Fishwick, at around 2.30pm on Thursday. As she got out and started to walk away two Asian youths approached her and asked her for a light. But when she reached inside her handbag the taller of the pair struck her on the head, causing some of the handbag’s contents to fall out on to the ground. Her phone was smashed on the pavement and her purse, containing a small amount of change and some cards, was grabbed by the shorter male. He told his accomplice to leave and the pair ran off into bushes in Brockholes View. Det Sgt John Crichton said the attack was similar to two other recent robberies in the area, thought to be unrelated to this incident, one in which a women was also assaulted. He said: “This was a cowardly attack on this girl. “People usually draw the line at robbing women. “It’s worrying that they will go for anybody vulnerable, such as a solitary woman.” He said the woman was crying and shaking after the attack and unable to see if anybody had walked past. Det Sgt Crichton added: “She went back to her car and drove to work, where police were called by her colleagues. “She has a bit of a headache and a scratch on her wrist where she was holding on to her bag, which was wrapped around her arm.” Police have issued an appeal for any information regarding the robbery. The first youth who hit the woman was described as 16 to 17-years-old, around 5ft 8ins, of slim build, with short, shaven black hair. He was clean shaven and was wearing a black hooded jacket, black tracksuit bottoms and ‘mucky’ black trainers. The second male was described as a 16 to 17-years-old, around 5ft 6ins, of thicker build, with short, shaven black hair. He was also clean shaven and was wearing a black jacket with a red pattern, with draw strings coming from the collar, dark tracksuit bottoms and black trainers. He spoke with a deep Preston accent. If you have any information call Lancashire Police on 101.

His co-defendant, Anjem Choudary (pictured left) , the British hate preacher and leader of an extremist Muslim club in England based on the anti-terror law is prohibited, was sentenced to one year effective imprisonment.
In contrast to Belkacem, Choudary will be immediately used. The judge considers the possibility that existing since Choudary, who is not turned up in court, the country will escape. The risk that Belkacem the country would flee the judge considered less significant.

People from across Leicester’s diverse community came together at a brilliant public meeting last night to organise their opposition to the English Defence League.
The racist and fascist EDL has announced plans to come to Leicester on 4 February.
Last night’s meeting of around 170 people – white, black and Asian – showed a determination to stand up in unity against the EDL.
Banners from the East Midlands regions of the Unite and Unison unions decorated the walls of the Highfields Community Centre, where community leaders, local councillors, trade unionists and local young people came together.
They heard Sital Singh Gill, general secretary of Indian Workers Association, Priya Thamotheram from the community centre, local youth activist Az and UAF’s Simon Assaf speak from the platform, along with Councillor Lucy Chaplin, who brought greetings from Leicester West constituency Labour Party and from former council leader Ross Wilmott.
Leicester councillor and Communication Workers Union branch secretary Andy Connelly also sent a message of support.
The meeting discussed the planned counter-demonstration against the EDL.
This will assemble in Leicester City Centre on Saturday 4 February – more details to follow. The antiracist, antifascist protest is supported by CWU Leicestershire branch, PCS Leicester and Leicestershire branch, Stoneygate Labour Party, Unite 0168M branch and Leicester Dist Trades Council.
Speaking from the floor, councillor Patrick Kitterick told the meeting:
This is my city, these are my streets. We need to draw a line and say no further to the EDL.
Huge counter-mobilisations against the EDL in Leicester in October 2010 showed the racists and fascists were not welcome then – now Leicester is set to unite against the EDL once again to drive the message home.
Yawn – Not one word about the vicious racial attack on Rhea Page, and the joke justice she got. The very reason for the demo. Pah.
