A little general round-up

The latest news from Britain sparking interest among my fellow Americans relates to the recent riots and the government’s response after three little girls were stabbed to death in Southport. The aspect that has attracted most attention is the British government’s attempts to curtail the free exchange and dissemination of ideas on social media. I’ve even been asked if the government of Sir Keir Starmer is waging war on free speech. I feel compelled to answer Yes, but add that the war began long before the summer of 2024. Indeed, Britain’s increasingly illiberal and authoritarian political class, along with their minions in the media and academia, highly credentialled and privileged men and women who sacralise the European Union, are unable to define a woman, despise the white working class and feel at home in Islington, Hampstead, Tuscany, Provence or Cape Cod, have been whittling away at the time-honoured rights of free speech, expression and thought for at least 30 years. Starmer’s draconian policies represent a brutal escalation of the war rather than its beginning.


NYeffingCity is getting what it voted for, good and hard.
Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.



Ah, the EffingBI, "We're all honest, dedicated professionals here, but we worry about the Do'J'."
Sure, you are.

That's about all I can take for now.
