Establishment ‘Farageophobia’ Is Really Fear of Ordinary Voters

It might seem as if there were two general elections here in the UK last week. One was staged in the fantasy Britain of the political and media establishment; in this make-believe election, the Labour Party reportedly won an “historic landslide,” giving new prime minister Keir Starmer a “huge mandate for change.”

The other election took place in the real Britain where voters live and work. In this, actual, election, the majority of voters and non-voters rejected both the Tories and Labour as two wings of the old establishment. The sort of ‘change’ millions voted for was best reflected in the overnight breakthrough of Nigel Farage’s insurgent sovereigntist party, Reform UK.

The reparations war that could break the EU

Poland has been forced to let go of its history

Since its inception, the European project has always aimed to bring about the end of history on the continent, and to finally put the ceaseless cycle of war, extremism and imperialism that had torn Europe apart for a thousand years to rest.

Yet history’s severed heads have a troublesome habit of growing back. The Russian invasion of Ukraine served as a powerful reminder of this reality for the European mainstream, but other unresolved threads of the continent’s brutal and very recent past have also re-emerged in much more subtle ways.

It’s not a culture war when we do it

Did you hear the news? The ‘era of culture wars is over’. Lisa Nandy, the UK’s new Labourite culture secretary, said so. In a speech yesterday to her new staff at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Nandy tossed all that ‘division’ and ‘polarisation’ into the dustbin of history, all in a few short lines. ‘In recent years we’ve found multiple ways to divide ourselves from one another’, she said. ‘Changing that is the mission of this department.’

Canadian assisted suicide data suggests over 15,000 chose euthanasia last year

As we await the federal government’s release of Canada’s 2023 euthanasia data, last week British Columbia released it’s 2023 provincial euthanasia data.

According to the BC Medical Assistance in Dying 2023 report there were 2,767 reported assisted deaths, up by 10 percent from 2,515 in 2022.

It is concerning that “other conditions” represented 32.9 percent of the BC assisted deaths in 2023. Other conditions were reported under these categories:

Autoimmune Condition 2.4%, Chronic Pain 24.8%, Diabetes 9.8%, Frailty 60.5%, Other Comorbidities* 52.1%.

Frailty? Cripes they’ll be running over Granny and her walker at crosswalks soon.

Jewish community takes food inspection agency to court over slaughter guidelines

OTTAWA – A group of agencies that certify Kosher meat are in court today to ask for an injunction against Canadian Food Inspection Agency guidelines for the ritual slaughter of animals.

Kosher meat calls for animals to be slaughtered without first being stunned.

While the Kosher method of slaughtering animal for meat is allowed in Canada, the food inspection agency posted guidelines in 2021 outlining how abattoirs must determine if an animal is unconscious and can no longer feel pain.

I can’t see a ban on Kosher slaughter as imminent given no politician will call for the end of halal slaughter.

David Staples: Seismic shift when great numbers of Canadian men abandon left-wing political parties

Canadian men are increasingly less likely than women to support left-of-centre parties like the Liberal/NDP partnership in Ottawa and the New Democrats in Alberta.

We’re unlikely to agree on the exact reasons for this trend, but I’ll suggest we can agree it’s happening. The Trudeau/Singh movement in Ottawa has lost support of both men and women, but men in particular have turned against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the fall of 2018.

The die is cast. Jews have no sustainable future in Europe

Jewish life in Europe will be a thing of the past by 2050. There is no future for them there and their desperate love for the old and beloved continent will die. What was unthinkable yesterday is plausible today and certain tomorrow.

The chief rabbi of the Great Synagogue of Paris, Moshe Sebbag, called for departure:

“There is no future for the Jews in France. I tell all young people to go to Israel or a safer country”.

The president of the Jewish consistory of Alpes-Provence, Zvi Ammar, confessed to Cnews that “in order to no longer live hidden and insecure”, more and more Jews are ready to make aliyah, to move to Israel. “In the mouths of people in every Jewish home comes the question: ‘do we still have a future in France?’. It hurts a lot. Today people feel safer in Israel, despite it being a country at war”.
