The direction in which Britain is heading is quite clear. Sharia forbids criticism of Islam. Jolene Bunting is being targeted by short-sighted politicians who are trying to win the Muslim vote. But the Britain they will leave for future generations will not be like the Britain they inherited.
Jolene is on Gab, Telegram, VK and Twitter. Here’s how you can also support Jolene’s fight.
“Councillor Who Criticised Islam To Be Banned From Elections,” Steve Laws Report, February 2, 2021:
An Independent Councillor from Belfast, who criticised Islam, could face up to a five-year ban from standing in future elections.
Jolene Bunting is an independent councillor from Belfast. She has been suspended, censored and is to potentially be banned from standing in future elections for up to 5 years.
Jolene has been labelled ‘far right’ and a ‘racist’ and in a few weeks could potentially be banned from standing in future elections for standing up for her deeply Conservative – Christian beliefs.
This shocking string of events starts back in August 2018, when Jolene was suspended from council duties for four months while investigations were carried out into complaints about public statements she made about Islam.
She also received a backlash for her support of leaflets which warned of the dangers of Islam, which Jolene did not have any involvement in the printing or distribution, but defended the right of whoever printed the leaflets during a Belfast City Council meeting in April 2018 stating:
“It’s up to the leaders in this city to address people’s concerns and not just label them as racist or fascist. Fascists are the people who don’t want anyone to speak out about Islam.”
In November of the same year the High Court appeal started which paused the suspension.
In March 2019, the High Court stated that Jolene should serve the rest of her suspension.
The following month her shocking suspension continued. In May 2019, the local elections happened in which Jolene lost her seat. Jolene stated “I believe this was due to the constant negative publicity I received from the local media during my election campaign, along with having all my social media accounts take down 2 weeks into my re-election campaign.”
“These are dark times for democracy”
Jolene has been hounded by the media throughout this ordeal, they have labelled her ‘racist’, ‘far right’ and have continually tried to discredit Jolene’s name.
Her crime… criticising Islam.
Jolene publicly criticized Islam during an Anti-Terror Rally, held in Belfast, 2017 and since then she has been harassed and hounded by many people including fellow councillors.
Jolene lost her appeal in March 2019 and had to serve the remainder of her suspension which inevitably damaged her chances of having a successful campaign in the upcoming local elections. Jolene believes she lost the elections due to the ‘witch hunt’ against her.
Jolene has not even been questioned by the police yet these unelected officials can potentially ban her from standing in election. This isn’t democracy.
She is the first councillor in the U.K. to be suspended while the outcome of an investigation is pending….
Matthijs vanGuilder says
Is it fear, is it increasing population/votes, is it being bought off for some scandal that puts Islam above all other groups politically, legally?

And it just goes on and on until such time as the UK is no more the UK.
I may not be here to witness it as Im now 72, but give it another decade or so, and the UK, and much of Europe, will indeed be gone baby gone.
It saddens me of course, but also makes me grateful that I knew Europe in the 1970s, when I was a young 20 something guy, and now all that is becoming a fading memory.
All things are in a state of change, this does not mean good or bad change,just change,however its very easy to see if its good or bad today.
Herbert Deutsch says
Agree and would like to add that with “Woke” culture here in America we are not far behind
Check Burry says
Why do the “leaders” say we have free speech.
Lyin bastards.
mortimer says
Those thoughtless politicians decide what you may say, because not enough people stand up to them or vote them out.
When is this fallacious ‘woke’ culture going to pass out of fashion? I shudder to think what fallacy may come next.
terry sullivan says
voting is hopeless–if it worked in out favor it would be abolished
L R says
Voting, and speaking up is what we have. We MUST keep exercizing in practice what we DO have.
Walter Sieruk says
This further exposes the creeping insidious growing influence of the Muslims who are engaging in the stealth jihad in a Western nation.
Furthermore, this stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
jca reid says
Well put, Walter! apart from that instruction from ‘The Art of War’, there is the one about “Fighting without actually fighting.” They simply ‘migrate’ into an area, & through mass breeding take over & subjugate the initial populace by taking over the Offices of Power & existing Laws are deemed irrelevant & replaced. In Europe, the average birth Rate is 7.2 children per Muslima of birthing Age. European women is around 1.9 – 2.1. Our Western Leaders are simply in denial & don’t want to tackle the problem for fear of being called “Racist”. The problem is simply being passed on for some others to resolve. By the way, Islam is NOT a Race, although the Muslims are trying to get this changed by their efforts at the UN, & by the way, Mohammed WAS a white man!.
Walter Sieruk says
To jca reid ,thank you for taking the time to reply to my posting. When you keyboarded that Islam is NOT a Race..” That statement is 100 % right . It may even be said that “Islam is a religious /political /Sharia law based system of total tyrannical mind control that has complete and awful power over the thoughts, ideas , “values” and behavior over millions of people around the world. ”
The sad and tragic reality is that ,many times this Islamic behavior is terrible . As in Muslims engaging in insidious stealth jihad or the murderous violent jihad “The Jihad of the sword.” as well as the Muslim males vicious and malicious behavior of Islamic misogyny, as “honor killing and FGM
Walter Sieruk says
About this stealth jihad in Ireland or in any nation of the West it needs to be noted that the term used by many in the West in current times is “political Islam” That term is, in reality redundant. This is because Islam is in essence, a religious /political Sharia law based system.
As so well explained in brief way, by the Muslim tyrant who and ruled Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini when he stated that “All Islam is politics.” [1]
In addition, about It’s complete blindness , delusion ,folly and error to even attempt to establish Sharia law in Ireland or for that matter any other Western country in this world.
Concerning Islamic law ,otherwise known and Sharia law. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam is a hoax.
[1] THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM by Ibn Warraq , page 332.
Keith O says
Walter, The stealth jihad we are witnessing is just part of the total war strategy that is being employed by the mudslimes who want to control the world.
One of the main reasons, I feel, that the civilised world is in so much trouble is that only one side in this war acknowledges the fact that we are at war.
SI VIS PACEM PARRABELUM.
Jayell says
What is not at all clear is the legal basis for banning Ms. Bunting from exercising her democratic right to run for election simply because of her opinion about a religion, and furthermore one that is not remotely a part of Irish culture nor directly concerning any more than just a small non-indigenous minority in the population. Or does this small non-indigenous minority have some sort of right to dictate who will hold public positions in Northern Ireland, because this is a departure from proper democratic practice and needs some explaining.
Michael Copeland says
Seconded.
Maureen Chaloner says
I agree!
PRCS says
“does this small non-indigenous minority have some sort of right to dictate who will hold public positions in Northern Ireland”
As a minority, no.
But–think Ilhan Omar–they and enough useful idiots do.
Via the ballot box.
Via the ability of those whose elections they’ve made possible to change laws in that minority’s favor.
Would Jolene Bunting have been subjected to that treatment, for the same reason, 20 years ago?
gravenimage says
No–she almost certainly would not have. Things have changed *very* quickly.
somehistory says
The evil people have always worked for their master, satan the devil, demon ‘god’ of nimrod, nebuchadnezzer, the cruel assyrians, mortal enemies of the Jews, canaanites, and ba’al worshippers such as jezebel who had many prophets of Israel murdered.
satan is still at large, inspiring evil people to do his dirty deeds, stifling freedoms…to speak, to worship, to live…and using moslims and islam as his ‘modern’ weapon. moslims and their supporters of today are just like the devil worshippers of old who harassed, waged war with, and murdered God’s people.
satan and his children hate the Truth and are intent on keeping it from being broadcast. That becomes clearer every day, every time, someone like this woman is silenced for telling it, or just saying people have the “right” to the freedom that our Creator gave us…to Speak our thoughts.
john smith says
moslims and their supporters of today are just like the devil worshippers of old,so true Somehistory. Many of them believe in their hearts they are obeying God, when in reality they are obeying satan. They just don’t see it, they just don’t get it, islam is such an evil satanic death cult that it can turn those who adhere to it into the most evil of monsters. Evil becomes goodness, goodness becomes evil, lies becomes truth, truth becomes a lie and so on.
Those that have persecuted this lady are probably completely oblivious to the fact, they are inadvertently working for the forces of darkness. The same can be said for the Dems, the same can be said for the left, who both support islam. Both the Dems and the left are unaware they are working for satan, and muslims or anyone else who supports islam is also working for satan.
somehistory says
The Apostle Paul said that “satan has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,” so they can’t see Christ Jesus and His Truth. If they had not rejected “belief,” they would see clearly just how evil islam is and what its source must be.
Because everyone is given a conscience so each can discern right and wrong, I have a hunch that many on the left and in the dem group know exactly how evil it is. and for whom they are working.
john smith says
Your hunch could be right, maybe there are many on the left and in the dem group who know exactly how evil islam is, and who they are working for. But I’m not so sure, so I will have to give that one some more thought.
I personally believe them to be in the minority, and like you say in your first sentence, their minds have been blinded by satan.
For example, when some jihadi blows himself up at a concert killing innocent children, he sincerely believes in his heart that he is working for the true God. But both you and I know who he is really working for, “satan”.
PRCS says
Pretty sure the Olmecs weren’t working “for their master, satan the devil” when conducting their human sacrifices.
RichardL says
it has very little to do with politicians: it is a crime in the UK to criticise islam. The UK is long gone – many Brits simply ignore the situation.

God protect that girl !!, she was saying loud what everyone is thinking mostly the Europeans, it’s awful just awful..
mortimer says
Joelene Bunting is RIGHT ON THE MONEY : REAL Fascists are concerned with censoring.
LET THE PEOPLE OF BELFAST DECIDE IN THE NEXT ELECTION. It is NOT for politicians to tell people what to believe or to think.
Bunting CORRECTLY observes: “It’s up to the leaders in this city to address people’s concerns and not just label them as racist or fascist. Fascists are the people who don’t want anyone to speak out about Islam.”
I am disgusted that knee-jerk political correctness has now come to Ulster. I thought the Ulstermen were more thoughtful than that.
Exponential Competency says
Morty dog; research what constitutes the historical/current word/meaning of “Ulster”. Your current understanding is OFF – displayably centuries off.

What the HELL Ireland.Just how bloody THICK are you?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Maureen.
They’re not THICK, they’re WOKE!

Not the Irish, but their arsehole politicians are ‘woke’.
PRCS says
I wish that were true, but~~just like here~~such politicians are in power because a majority of cluelessly ‘woke’ citizens voted for them~~and continue to do so.
Joan says
What does woke mean?

Joan, it means terminally “politically correct”:

“Woke” is actually used by Leftists themselves.
Infidel says
So if Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland both appease islam, can that be the basis of their reunification? Since that trumps their Protestant and Catholic identities
LR says
Interesting, AND scary thought.
It’s a weird, weird, weird world.
Max Brenner says
Five years. OK that will be enough time for the Muslims to gain enough power so they will dis-empower the banners and lay the ground for the future execution of both the high court and the city council.
Good work useful idjuts! You gave yourselves a death sentence.

Sharia Northern Ireland: Councillor faces five-year ban from running for office because she criticized Islam
……………………..
Jolene Bunting spoke out *against Jihad terror*. Is *this* now illegal in Northern Ireland?
Inquisitive says
Individuals & groups (campaigning against Islam in NI) supported Ms Bunting in the past so have they abandoned her or has she abandoned them? Evidently she decided to stand as an Independent Councillor so could it be that she has had a falling out along the way with some influential figures?
Why would anyone, protestant, catholic, atheist, agnostic, buddhist, anyone at all, wish for an islamic future for Northern Ireland?
lili marleen says
I might be wrong, but as I recall, the convicted IRA terrorists stood as candidates and elected to the house of commons.
To say that you can’t stand for election due to your opinions seems to me to define the required outcome of an election before it even takes place.
Rob Callow says
The globalist elite are now able to greatly influence many within the hierarchies of the political systems of the world. This influence also reaches deep into our local authorities, our judiciary and police forces, our schools and universities as well as the establishment media.
Our institutions have been won over by globalist ideology and by no coincidence the Christian values which once had considerable influence over our society are now being increasingly scorned, ridiculed and rejected by the masses as archaic nonsense. Consequently, a growing evil with all its horrors is being unleashed upon us all…
Ruislamicky? says

God have mercy on us all.
L R says
Yep, the globalist ideology is full steam ahead…So, people need to keep speaking up, and supporting the courageous ones, the ‘fighters’ iike Jolene, as much as they possibly can. (I am NOT advocating violence here). People that speak up for freedom of speech, against any PC bs, or ‘right wing’ nonsense these days is a ‘fighter’, in my book.
I am not even concerned about the Jihadists much anymore.
Our own secular, and various religious citizens are doing our culture in.
Check this out:
https://equitablemath.org/
Now, THEY are taking ‘us’ over the cliff. They are literally stating math, the way we have been teaching it, by focusing on learning the right answers is ‘white supremacy.’ These are racists, and secular cultists who consider ‘brown’ people too stupid to learn math correctly. The ‘woke’ crowd are the stealth ‘Jihadists’ in this sense.
Who backs these kinds of things?
Bill Gates is one supporter of this.
We do not have to accept this. I can only hope more parents, and teachers will keep pushing back against the lies, and racism of the so called ‘woke’ jihad’.
We cannot fail our children. They will end up having complete disdain for us if we do not stand up for them.
OLD GUY says
Yes you cannot have freedom of speech under islamic law. One thing for certain islam cannot stand to hear the truth about its CULT style religion. Actually islam is closer to a political ideology than religion. It is a dictatorship using extremest violence to control its followers and to force its will on others.
The islamic cult has our politicians running scared, they are afraid to lose the muslim vote and the huge amount of political contributions to their campaign funds. Therefore our politicians look the other way and allow the islamic crimes against humanity.
Crusades Were Right says
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I guess Jolene’s clock stopped at sharia o’clock. lol
