Oh holy moly.

In Manchester, England, Muslims make up 22.3% of the city's population, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the Greater Manchester area. 

And the area might ring a bell with y'all if you had a chance to read my VIP post from last Friday, on the local by-election that was just held in Greater Manchester's Gorton and Denton constituency. The Muslim vote was hugely influential - and courted assiduously - by the Green Party candidate who tripped the light fantastic to Palestinian death anthems on city streets to garner voters. She triumphed over the Reform candidate, and they both left the unpopular Labour candidate trailing badly behind them. 

This was a Parliamentary seat that had been in Labour's hands for almost a century.

It was considered an embarrassing rout for Keir Starmer and one more nail in his career's coffin.

The Reform candidate noted that extrapolated data from the documented allegations of what's known as 'family voting' (where a couple enters a voting booth and the husband instructs the wife whom to vote for), prevalent in majority Muslim British communities, nearly met the margin of victory for the Green Party over him, and the word 'fraud' is being used.

All across the British Isles, the Islamic community is in a state of mourning, and this area, naturally, would be beside itself at the much-deserved whacking the Ayatollah Khamenei just received, pieces be upon him.

Everyone was planning some sort of remembrance ceremony or vigil for the vile, murderous old bastich.

Mosques across UK hold tearful vigils for dead Ayatollah who 'had British blood on his hands'

A number of mosques across the UK have held vigils for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - despite the brutal former ruler being described as having "British blood on his hands".

At the Islamic Centre of England in north London, candlelit photographs of the 86-year-old were placed outside, with one member of the congregation heard on video shouting: “We will obey you Khamenei."

The ICE was recently named in a letter by a group of Labour MPs sent to security minister Dan Jarvis, who raised alarm over several organisations they believe are promoting the Iranian regime’s agenda on British soil.

The centre has been under Charity Commission investigation since 2022 over claims it operates as an extension of the Iranian state, which it denies.

Greater Manchester was no different. They had a tasteful, silent candlelight ceremony planned for tonight at their local mosque. Nothing too flashy - he was one of those austere clerics, after all.

But something so phenomenal happened tonight instead. 

So joyously, jubilantly uplifting, and totally the opposite of every hate-filled Muslim counter protest ever.

Iranians, accompanied by hundreds of locals, have gathered in the streets outside the Manchester mosque, where Khamenei mourners had gathered...

...and these folks are throwing themselves one helluva street party.

The racket is so ebullient and uplifting, I can't stop smiling.

YMCA!

It's a freedom rave the likes of which I don't think they've ever seen.

TRUMP!!!

It doesn't get any better than this.

It just doesn't.
