One decision that has long plagued his legacy is the alliance he formed with Joseph Stalin.
In recent years, Winston Churchill has come under sustained attack from the Left. During the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, the words “Was a racist” were scrawled across his statue in Parliament Square. Then in 2021, the Cambridge College that bears his name hosted a conference, ‘The Racial Consequences of Mr. Churchill’, where academics took turns to denounce him as a “white supremacist”.
Rice exposes what actual white privilege looks like and why you don’t have it.
You already know this, but we live in deeply stuffy, oppressive times. You can get canceled for saying the wrong thing, not saying the right thing, or even looking at someone in a way they don’t like. Don’t believe me? Go to the gym and glance for more than three seconds at that 20-something girl in the bralette and bike shorts; woe betide you if you’re not in better shape than she is.
One minute you’re on top of the world — the next minute, you’re canceled and your whole world is turned upside down.
“It is almost four years old now. The madly insane efforts to silence the album are somehow indications of its power,” Morrissey tells me. “Otherwise, who would bother to get so overheated about an inconspicuous recluse?”
“The album” in question is Bonfire of Teenagers, the former Smiths singer’s 14th solo album that he completed back in May 2021, when Britain was emerging from its third Covid lockdown, but has yet to see the light of day. The lost album was set to feature contributions from craggy rocker Iggy Pop, half of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and, tantalisingly, Tennessee pop superstar Miley Cyrus. The “inconspicuous recluse” is Morrissey himself. He’s being disingenuous, of course.
More than 1,700 prisoners are being released early today. By the end of October, prisons in England and Wales are expected to let out as many as 5,500 offenders prematurely, after they have served just 40 per cent of their sentences.
The threat this prisoner release poses to the public is not in any doubt. Martin Jones, the chief inspector of probation, says it is a ‘certainty’ that many of those let out will reoffend. He expects ‘a third’ to commit further crimes. Many will be back in jail within ‘days or weeks’ for breaching their terms.
“During the blessed last 10 days of Ramadan, we celebrate our Administration’s incredible Muslim team,” Vice President Kamala Harris announced, posing on the steps of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with some of the most controversial figures in the administration.
A self-described Palestinian migrant accused of beating a Long Island Jewish man had been nabbed months earlier illegally crossing into the US and was almost immediately released.
Bechir Lehbeib, 26, of Mauritania sneaked across the southern border into Lukeville, Ariz., on July 20, 2023, with a group of more than 200 people, according to a House Judiciary Committee report on the migrant’s file exclusively obtained by The Post.

For Americans like me, who’ve known their country at war only in the Middle East, one of the most interesting things about World War II is the lack of a postwar insurgency. After the Nazis and imperial Japanese surrendered, groups of disaffected soldiers did not lead violent campaigns to restore the defeated regimes (an end-of-war coup attempt in Japan failed rather quickly). The occupations of Germany and Japan were peaceful. Both countries became reliable American allies in short order. Hundreds of thousands of the defeated regimes’ erstwhile supporters––including senior officials, including war criminals––escaped serious punishment, rejoined society, and sometimes gained political influence. And still the peace was kept.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is denouncing a documentary about Russian soldiers screening at the Toronto International Film festival (TIFF) this year.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday, Freeland — who is of Ukrainian heritage — noted that both diplomats and the Canadian-Ukrainian community have expressed “grave concerns” about the film Russians at War.
“I share those concerns,” Freeland said.
I am not sure I get her reasoning if it is indeed an anti-war film that meets with Moscow’s disapproval.
This article offers clarity – Remove film about Russian soldiers, Ukraine officials tell TIFF

Northvolt AB will cut a large number of jobs and sell or seek partners for its energy storage and materials businesses as Europe’s leading battery hope aims to survive by refocusing on its struggling first gigafactory in northern Sweden.
Following the announcement of the end of the NDP-Liberal confidence and supply agreement, a new national survey reveals that 47 per cent of Canadians would support calling a federal election, while only 34 per cent would prefer not to.
The Léger poll, conducted from Sept. 6 to 8, also shows the Conservative Party maintaining its lead with 45 per cent of the vote nationally, followed by the Liberal Party at 25 per cent and the New Democratic Party (NDP) at 15 per cent.

IMT Group was founded as Ingersoll Machine and Tool in Ingersoll, Ont., in 1914 in a factory designed for soap production.
The engineering firm remains headquartered in southwestern Ontario but now has six integrated businesses supplying the automotive, rail and defence industries.
One of its specialties is the production of metal casings used for 155-millimetre artillery shells. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has found its services in high demand — so much so, that it will cut the ribbon on a new multi-million-dollar facility next month.
Canada’s decision to revoke JNF’s tax-exempt status seems politically motivated.
On Aug. 10, the Canadian branch of the registered charity, Jewish National Fund (JNF), received an email from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), notifying it that its charitable status had been revoked, effective immediately.
The grounds stated for revoking the status, which enabled JNF Canada to issue charitable receipts for income tax purposes, was that the organization had strayed from the objective for which it had originally been granted charity status.
When Donald Trump and Kamala Harris step into the ring this evening, America will be treated to an illusion. For the past month, we’ve been told that tonight’s showdown in Pennsylvania will be pivotal — that, finally, the nation will witness the chosen tribunes of its two parties slugging it out for the presidency.
But appearances can be misleading. Yes, there is something called the Democratic Party and something called the Republican Party. But these entities bear little resemblance to the grassroots, mass-membership party federations that existed half a century ago. Rather, today’s organisations are made up of various groups as different from each other as from those across the aisle.
The fight for a free Internet is raging globally.
The censorship war has hit a flashpoint. Late last month, Brazil banned Elon Musk’s social media site, X, after Musk refused a government order to suppress seven dissident accounts. Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes responded by restricting access to the platform across the country. This story has direct implications in Brazil and also reveals the hidden stakes of the global censorship war.
One way to measure the influence of a political regime is to trace the flow of money, goods, people, information, and force. These are the raw materials of politics, and the form that these materials take helps to shape the form of the political regime.
