Two Tier Policing Row: Police must tackle all sides in riots with ‘equal ferocity’ says senior officer

Forces must tackle all sides involved in civil disorder with “equal ferocity” a police leader has said, amid a row over “two-tier” policing.

It comes after around 200 mainly Muslim men, some wearing balaclavas and shouting “Free Palestine” or “Allahu Akbar” gathered in the Bordesley area of Birmingham following false rumours that a far-Right march was planned in the area.

But concern was raised when videos began circulating showing one man carrying what appeared to be a large sword and a Sky News crew broadcasting live being forced off the air by masked men.

Bullshit they will.

Tim Walz picked as Kamala Harris’ VP in the 2024 presidential election

Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota’s progressive governor Tim Walz as her running mate to take on Donald Trump and J.D. Vance after weeks of speculation and a bitter fight between candidates.

The 60-year-old father-of-two, who has been married to his teacher wife Gwen since 1994, joins the ticket in a victory for the progressive left of the party who were concerned about some of the other contenders’ support of Israel.

In Minnesota he has codified the right to abortion, signed universal free school meals, legalized recreational marijuana and gave voting rights to former prisoners.

Peter Menzies: Canada’s Gamble With the Digital Services Tax May End Badly

Canada seems to be having difficulty understanding and regulating the internet.

That’s an easy conclusion to reach given the track record and negative responses so far to the Online News Act, the Online Streaming Act, and the Digital Services Tax.

When did the Trudeau gov’t do anything right?

Google Violated Antitrust Laws in Online Search, Judge Rules

Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search, a federal judge ruled on Monday, a landmark decision that strikes at the power of tech giants in the modern internet era and that may fundamentally alter the way they do business.

Judge Amit P. Mehta of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said in a 277-page ruling that Google had abused a monopoly over the search business. The Justice Department and states had sued Google, accusing it of illegally cementing its dominance, in part, by paying other companies, like Apple and Samsung, billions of dollars a year to have Google automatically handle search queries on their smartphones and web browsers.

“Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” Judge Mehta said in his ruling.

UN admits nine UNRWA staffers ‘may have been involved’ in Oct. 7 attack on Israel

The United Nations admitted Monday that nine employees of its controversial agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, “may have been involved” in Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel.

The UN’s Office of Internal Oversight Services said its probe into 19 UNRWA staffers accused of aiding in the massacre found that nearly half of them likely played an active role in the horror, which left more than 1,200 people dead and another 250 kidnapped.

Poilievre ‘can’t wait’ to defund CBC, but that’s ‘recklessly threatening’ Canadians’ access to reliable information, say Liberals

Defenders of public broadcasting are sketching out their response to ongoing calls by Pierre Poilievre to “recklessly” defund the CBC, after the Conservative leader has been doubling down on that position in a recent social media post and at campaign-style rallies.

In an email to the The Hill Times, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge (Brome-Missisquoi, Que.) said that Canada needs “a strong public broadcaster that connects and informs us coast to coast to coast.” She said the government is reviewing the public broadcaster’s financing, governance, and mission with the goal of modernizing it, adding this “contrasts sharply” with the Conservative proposal to “defund and dismantle” an organization that “millions of Canadians count on.”

The Russian spies so deep undercover even their own children didn’t know who they were

When 11-year-old Sofia and her brother Gabriel, 8, stepped off the plane at Moscow’s Vnukuvo airport last Thursday, they were met by an unfamiliar balding man in a dark suit.

“Buenas noches,” he said, addressing them in Spanish, the language they spoke at home.

Surrounded by media, security and other functionaries, he embraced Sofia and her mother, handing them flowers and welcoming them to the Russian capital. It must have been a bewildering sight.

Later, according to the Kremlin, the children asked their parents who the man there to greet them on the red carpet had been. Vladimir Putin, they explained.

Vancouver Pride Parade ends early, cancelled by Muslims and their useful idiots

If the 2024 Vancouver Pride Parade seemed shorter than usual despite the grander Canada Pride festivities, here’s why.

On a vibrant and sunny day in Vancouver, the annual Pride Parade on Sunday was abruptly interrupted by a pro-Palestine protest, forcing organizers to cut the parade short.

Vancouver’s Vacant-Homes Tax Doesn’t Improve Housing Affordability: Study

A vacant-homes tax may boost housing availability but it hasn’t improved affordability, says a new study on the policy’s impact in Vancouver.

The C.D. Howe Institute study looked at how Vancouver’s Empty Homes Tax has affected the housing crisis since 2017. The tax was introduced amid concerns about high rents, expensive homes, and homelessness happening at the same time as homes were sitting empty, according to the study.

The Teleprompter Campaign

Kamala can’t be trusted off script.

The basement campaign has been updated.

Kamala Harris isn’t in the cellar of the Naval Observatory campaigning via Zoom calls à la Joe Biden in 2020.

No, she’s speaking to adoring crowds fired up by pop stars. She’s identifying herself with powerful (if somewhat esoteric) cultural trends. She’s clapping back against Donald Trump with panache.

Is Disney Finally Learning When It Goes Woke, It Goes Broke?

When Disney goes woke, it goes broke. When it remembers its audience, however, it succeeds.

It has been a good few weeks for the Walt Disney Company. Its two most recent films are history-setting box office successes, and the company that has spent years hemorrhaging money may be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel if it takes the right lessons away from its success.

How Trump Can Win—or Lose—the Election

The Good News

The good news for the Trump campaign is that the sure Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is a lifelong California hard leftist at a time when the state is emblematic of progressive nihilism. Her extremist advocacies as a San Francisco county and city attorney, state Attorney General, and senator are on record. And they are consistent with what has virtually destroyed the state.

Harris was also a driving force as vice president for Joe Biden’s unpopular and unworkable progressive policies—whether open borders, massive illegal immigration, hyperinflation, fanning woke divisiveness, arguing for lax criminal prosecution, or defunding the police. She was far closer to the mindset of the unhinged Squad than Joe Biden himself.

The Trump Assassination attempt: knowing what should happen

The Trump Assassination attempt: knowing what should happen

Among the best advice any writer can take is: “write what you know.” Properly applied, this axiom can keep writers of fiction from inventing semiautomatic, lever action revolvers, or writing female characters with the sensibilities of Hulk Hogan. Because police work was my military MOS and my first civilian career, I know a few things about investigations, such as what should happen, when and why. When those things don’t happen in the right order, or they don’t happen at all, it’s virtually always indicative of gross incompetence and/or a coverup.
