This is getting silly. Consensus of the sensible is that it has cut GDP by maybe 3% over an entire decade. Other things (energy, tax, crap policy) have hit much harder.

Is domestic abuse a "gendered" issue? Well, to find out, I tracked down the woman who set up the world's first shelter for abused women, who wrote the first book on domestic abuse, and founded the biggest and oldest domestic abuse charity on earth... Let's ask: Erin Pizzey.

The LARGEST COVID shot autopsy study EVER conducted found 73.9% of deaths after vaccination were caused by the shot. Three independent analyses estimate that COVID shots killed 470,000–900,000 Americans—more than America’s losses in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and Iraq COMBINED.

Italian Alps on the 1st July 2026. Is "CO2" causing this as well? 🤷‍♂️

I do find that the reader submissions to newspapers often hold gems in them - like this in The Scotsman earlier this week. Well said Doug Clark from Edinburgh. Well said.

Have these people no shame!! Andrew Bridgen says senior NHS doctors confided that Boris Johnson’s entire Covid hospital admission was staged!! He didn’t even have Covid. Admitted and discharged the same day. Ward sealed, then brought back later. All to manufacture fear and push lockdowns and vaccines. Meanwhile they partied because they knew, with emails to prove it, that none of the measures worked. An utter disgrace and still no accountability.

Ok. So can the noble lord please explain how Britain bankrupting itself due to the MASSIVE cost of Net Zero make an iota of difference to global warming, given that: 1️⃣ We account for <1% of global CO₂ emissions; & 2️⃣ Not all scientists agree that climate change is the result oh human action, as opposed to cyclical? Asking for the British taxpayer.

“Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study. An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability.”

According to Scottish political commentator Jim Ferguson, the UK government is complicit in a globalist plan to intentionally destabilise the West via mass immigration, as part of a broader agenda to roll out digital ID and CBDCs. "Keir Starmer's excuse that digital ID is going to stop mass illegal immigration is another complete smokescreen." "It could be stopped within 24 hours... But they don't want to because it's part of the plan. It's part of the whole plan—that's by design—to flood our countries in the West with massive numbers of young illegal migrant men." "They will create the problems, and then they will offer these dystopian solutions. So it's right out of that playbook."

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

Onshore wind is sold as 25-year infrastructure, but a UK and Denmark study found that after just 10 years. The average UK wind farm loses roughly one-third of its output. Then by 12 to 15 years, many become completely uneconomic to run. Less power, more wear, higher maintenance. So the farms need "repowering," they call it. That means ripping out old machines and replacing them early. So more steel, more blades shipped in from China, more waste and more subsidies. The 25-year lifespan claim was short enough, but in reality, turbines are barely lasting a decade.

This Day (May 7) in 1945, Nazi Germany finally surrendered. The same day, Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini fled Berlin by plane. Here’s how he escaped justice for his war crimes (spoiler alert: blame France again!). First, the Mufti landed his plane in Bern, Switzerland and begged for asylum. The Swiss said no. They detained him and immediately handed him over to French authorities. What happened next is one of the most brazen post-war scandals in modern history. Instead of standing trial, the Mufti was placed under “house arrest” in a luxurious villa just outside Paris. For an entire year he lived in comfort, shaved his iconic beard, wore Western suits, and moved about with virtual freedom while Britain and Yugoslavia demanded his extradition as a war criminal. France refused to hand him over. Then, on May 29, 1946, using a fake passport in the name of Ma’ruf al-Dawalibi, the Mufti simply walked out, boarded a TWA flight to Cairo ... and vanished. The French Foreign Minister didn’t even realize he was gone for more than 12 days. In Egypt, he was greeted as a conquering hero. King Farouk gave him protection and luxury. The Muslim Brotherhood hailed him as “the Arab hero and symbol of jihad.” No trial. No shame. No consequences. And his legacy, unfortunately, endured. As this documentary clip puts it: “The Grand Mufti's place as leader of the Palestinian Arabs was eventually taken by a relative ... Yasser Arafat. In August 2002, Arafat gave an interview in which he referred to al-Husseini as a symbol of Palestinian Arab resistance. He called him simply, ‘a hero.’” This is how war criminals become legends to be emulated and revered — when a likeminded ideology protects and lionizes them.
Primary source proof — the actual 1943 telegram straight from Himmler’s own hand to the Grand Mufti. Key lines: “The National-Socialist Movement of the Greater German Reich has since its inception upheld the fight against World Jewry … The common recognition of the enemy and the joint struggle against it is what creates the firm foundation between Germany and freedom-seeking Muslims around the world … I am pleased to convey to you … warm wishes for your continued struggle until the great victory.” Lesser-known detail: Himmler timed this for the Mufti to read aloud at a massive Nazi rally in Berlin’s Luftwaffe Hall — while the Mufti was already living as Hitler’s honored guest and personally recruiting thousands of Bosnian Muslims into the Waffen-SS “Handschar” division to fight alongside the Nazis. This wasn’t some vague sympathy. It was a formal, operational alliance against the Jews — documented in real time. The same eliminationist ideology that partnered with the Nazis in 1943 is still alive today.

This wasn’t some vague sympathy. It was a formal, operational alliance against the Jews — documented in real time. The same eliminationist ideology that partnered with the Nazis in 1943 is still alive today.
This Day (May 6) in 1943, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem wrote the Bulgarian Foreign Minister demanding Jewish children be sent to Poland — not British Mandate Palestine — so they could be murdered. While living as Hitler’s honored guest in Berlin, Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini — the highest religious authority among Palestinian Arabs — sent a chilling letter to the Bulgarian Foreign Minister. Bulgaria was preparing to allow 4,000 Jewish children and 500 Jewish adults to emigrate to safety in British Mandate Palestine. The Mufti was furious. He immediately intervened with his confidants Himmler and von Ribbentrop to cancel the plan and insisted the Jews — including the children — be sent to Poland instead, where they would be under “strict control.” The Mufti knew exactly what “strict control” in Poland meant in 1943. He had personally toured Nazi concentration camps as a VIP guest of the SS and was impressed by the efficiency at which they killed Jews. The Mufti had already spent years in Berlin broadcasting Nazi radio propaganda calling for the extermination of Jews across the Arab world. He actively recruited Muslims for Waffen-SS units. He lobbied Hitler directly to ensure no Jews would escape to British Mandate Palestine. On November 28, 1941, Hitler had assured him: “Germany is determined… to call on the European nations one by one to solve the Jewish problem and, at the proper moment, to address the same appeal to non-European peoples.” The Mufti took that promise seriously and worked tirelessly to make sure it was fulfilled. Even after the war, the Nazi-Arab alliance against Jews continued. Arab states (especially Egypt and Syria) recruited former Nazi war criminals and rocket scientists to build missile programs to target Israel and modernize anti-Israel propaganda with Nazi antisemitic imagery and tactics, giving these Nazis the opportunity to continue the Holocaust, but now against the Jewish state. The Mufti’s letter on May 6, 1943, is a stark reminder that the goal was never “borders” for two states. The goal was the elimination of Jews. That same eliminationist ideology has never gone away. It has simply found new flowery language and new champions for the "cause."
