Newly released figures reveal that almost 1,500 cars were snatched last year on the orders of the Mayor of London’s office, as part of its Ultra-low Emissions Zone (ULEZ), the largest in the world, incorporating all London boroughs.
Under Sadiq Khan, a total of 1,429 cars were removed from their owners in the 12-month period ending in July 2024. Around half (761) of the vehicles were subsequently auctioned, raising £710,000.

Participants in Indigenous cultural exchange program to New Zealand feel ‘scammed’
What many thought was a dream opportunity for Indigenous youth from Canada to participate in cultural exchange with local Māori communities in New Zealand turned into what one participant describes as a “nightmare.”
It was marketed as a 12-week working holiday for Indigenous youth but left some participants feeling scammed.
I’m sorry but I’m laughing. But these young people learned a valuable lesson so there’s that.
Hamas’s leader Yahya Sinwar’s assassination marks the end of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip, opens the possibility of ending the Iranian-led axis, and creates new options to free the remaining 101 hostages, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday night.
“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza. This is the beginning of the day after Hamas,” Netanyahu stated shortly after the IDF confirmed it had successfully killed Sinwar.
This is how Yahya Sinwar, the Hamxs chief who orchestrated the October 7th attack, looked after he was ended by the IDF.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said under oath that Tucker Carlson is funded by a Russian state-owned media outlet, without providing evidence for the claim.
Trudeau made the allegation about Carlson and fellow conservative media personality Jordan Peterson while testifying at a public inquiry into foreign interference on Wednesday.
The Canadian prime minister was addressing alleged Russian influence in spreading anti-vaccine messaging in the media and on social media during the “Freedom Convoy,” a protest against COVID-19 vaccines and restrictions in Canada in early 2022.
No way to sue Junior I suppose.
OTTAWA – NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says it’s very disturbing that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre won’t get the top-level security clearance needed to view classified documents on foreign interference.
Singh said party leaders need to be briefed on top-secret information, noting the allegations this week that Indian agents played a role in the extortion, coercion and murder of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.
The objective was to peel some soft Trump supporters away from his coalition, but she gave them no reason to reconsider.
In remarks following Kamala Harris’s sit-down interview with Fox News Channel host Bret Baier, campaign spokesman Brian Fallon outlined what the campaign hoped to achieve. “I think there is a good number of Independents and Haley-style Republicans who are very open to voting for VP Harris,” he said, “and that is why we are open to doing events with Republicans on Fox News.” On those terms, the interview was a failure.
It seems oddly mediaeval to convict a man for his prayers.
But the British courts have defied all reasonable expectations of modern democracy by convicting a man for doing just that on the streets of Bournemouth.
Adam Smith-Connor is a military veteran who served his country in the reserves in Afghanistan. As part of his medical training, he participated in 30 abortions in 2003—actions he now deeply regrets. Adam converted to Christianity in later life, and is now deeply committed to prayer on the issue. In November 2022, he stopped to pray for a few minutes, in silence, near an abortion facility, remembering a time he had paid for an ex-girlfriend to abort his own child.
The Treasury Department is ground zero for the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” DEI agenda. The agency, which serves as the guardian of the American financial system, has translated critical race and gender theories into official policy—all under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
We have conducted an exclusive investigation that reveals the stunning capture of the Treasury, which, under the current DEI mandate, has worked to advance the principles of left-wing racialism, directing billions of dollars to favored racial and “underserved” groups, hiring a cadre of radical race “experts” to cement the new orthodoxy within the department, and considering potential auditees’ race in IRS tax investigations.
Combs was a “modern-day Gatsby” to the A-listers who attended his star-studded events. His accusers say they saw a far more disturbing figure emerge.
On Labor Day weekend in 1998, Sean “Diddy” Combs hosted a casual barbecue for about 200 guests at his new beachfront estate in East Hampton, N.Y. The dress code was all white, and the guest list was exclusive — details that would come to define the hip-hop impresario’s famous White Parties, which grew into extravagant soirees and earned him the reputation of a “modern-day Gatsby.”
For one attendee, who was 16 at the time, scoring an invite to the party that year felt like it could lead to his big break in the music business — an “opportunity to rub shoulders with the who’s who of the industry.” Instead, according to a new lawsuit, he alleges he was sexually abused by Combs during the event.
If the rumours are proven fact then it’s Epstein 2.0
It appears that the slow-witted political operatives behind this season’s production of “Harris/Walz: Lights, Camera, Cackle” have finally figured out that they have a serious “man problem” — as in no man with a modicum of testosterone running through his veins would dare be caught bearing the brand of the “trans”-hyping, willy-chopping, child-sniffing Democrat party. Congratulations, pals and gals (and xals) — glad you’re waking up to the reality that you’ve created an ideological movement that caters chiefly to Kens who dress up as Barbie, advocates for legalizing pedophilia, and a lot of people who would very much like to speak with the manager.
“I recall one instance where we were ordered to turn over a shipping container of captured Taliban weapons to the Afghan government, and I told the Major in charge of the mission “You know these are going right back to the Taliban as soon as we leave, right?” Without hesitation he responded, “Oh yes, I know.”
This story that Jesse Petrilla tells in If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them’is part of the larger reason why we not only lost Afghanistan, but why we’re losing to Islamic terrorists around the world and at home.
Hindu nationalists have succeeded where the English have failed
It seemed like a perfectly sensible policy at the time, but with the coherence of hindsight, it can now be seen as the first in a concatenation of cock-ups. The year was 1772. The East India Company was in charge of Bengal, its tiny bridgehead in eastern India from where it went on to acquire a tidy chunk of the subcontinent over the course of the following century. Its boss there was a chap called Warren Hastings, who was keen to repair the reputation of Company men. No one was particularly fond of these money-grubbing jumped-up parvenus, and especially not in the home counties. And Hastings happened to be a man with some intellectual pretensions.
It’s hard to know what’s worse about Kamala Harris agreeing that Donald Trump is a fascist. Is it that eight, long years after Trump was first elected president in those heady days of 2016 the Dems are still playing the Hitler card? That they’re still wailing ‘You’re a NAZI’ like idiot 15-year-olds in the throes of a particularly bad temper tantrum? Or is it that they think they can still get away with crap, with this cheapest of cheap shots, in the post-7 October world? At a time when something that really does have a whiff of fascism to it – the unhinged animus for the world’s only Jewish nation – is sweeping not through Trump’s ranks, but theirs?
Kamala and Trudeau are sounding more and more alike, an air of desperation pervades all they say.
At this point, everyone in Canada has heard about the Carbon Tax and had a chance to experience its negative effects. But less has been said about another harmful policy dreamed up by the Trudeau government — the Emissions Cap on the oil and gas sector. Just like the Carbon Tax, the Emissions Cap is part of Trudeau’s larger program to try and achieve “Net Zero” greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, which will have no positive impact on the environment, but which will be ruinous to Canada’s natural resource sector and to the national economy.
