UK’s richest family on trial for human trafficking

Four members of the UK’s richest family are on trial in Switzerland amid allegations they spent more money caring for their dog than their servants.

The Hinduja family, worth an estimated £37bn ($47bn), is accused of exploitation and human trafficking.

The family own a villa in Geneva’s wealthy neighbourhood of Cologny, and the charges against them all relate to their practice of importing servants from India to look after their children and household.

If guilty they should be publicly tortured to death in the slowest manner possible.

Canadians from across the country blasted the Liberal government and federal leaders for honouring in the House of Commons a Ukrainian veteran who fought for a Nazi SS division.

The more than 1,000 pages of documents released under the Access to Information law provide a glimpse at the intense anger sparked last year by the decision by all members in the Commons to give two standing ovations for Waffen SS soldier Yaroslav Hunka.

Aboriginal owners of land order ‘white idiot’ eco-activists to leave

Traditional owners have told a parliamentary hearing for a controversial mining and manufacturing project that white ‘idiot’ activists are blocking their economic development opportunities.

Top End Aboriginal Coastal Alliance Chair Julius Kernan says Indigenous Territorians face many ‘hurdles’ and siding with interstate environmentalists had previously caused them to ‘miss out’ on the benefits projects bring.

‘It is time for our people to be recognised or identified as people to engage with in a culturally appropriate manner and have space to have a say without interruption from non-Indigenous idiots,’ he told a Senate inquiry examining the Middle Arm development in the Northern Territory on Monday.

The Munk Debate

I like Douglas Murray. I am glad for the result.

However I can’t help but think it’s just another virtue signal that really isn’t going to achieve much in the here and now.

Those attending the event no doubt left with the chest puffing certainty that they have done their bit.

I bet few if any in this Toronto audience would dare publicly state that immigration from Muslim states to Canada should be ended and those “residents” found expressing hate for this nation should be expeditiously deported.

Lynn McDonald: Toronto’s costly push to trade Yonge-Dundas for a name more closely associated with slavery

There is a lot wrong both with the name that Toronto city council chose to replace Yonge-Dundas Square and the burden that the name change will place on taxpayers.

Originally budgeted at $335,000, the new estimate is $860,000 — and who is to say it won’t go higher? That would be a lot of money even for a desirable name, but the name the city chose, Sankofa Square, is problematic.

President Joe Biden is set to announce a new policy that would protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation, according to administration officials.
