Life in London’s ‘shanty town’: How Labour council is charging £1,560-a-month for old shipping containers piled up in a rundown estate rife with drug gangs

When the Marston Court estate was built in 2017, Ealing’s Labour-run council described it as a ‘ground-breaking and innovative’ solution for vulnerable families and the homeless.

Shipping containers piled alongside and on top of each other in four blocks of two and three storeys had been transported to the site after being built in 14 weeks at a factory in Cornwall.

But what was once a Labour council’s pride has now become Britain’s shame, becoming what residents describe as a modern shanty town overridden with crime.

Anti-Exploitation Advocates Warn of Growing Push to Normalize Pedophilia

The movement to normalize pedophilia and selling sex as promoted in some academic circles is having a real-world impact on efforts to deal with child trafficking, say two leading Canadian anti-human trafficking advocates.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Cathy Peters said academics are one of the “weak links” in the national fight against human trafficking. The author of “Child Sex Trafficking in Canada and How to Stop It,” says part of the inspiration for her 264-page book was to offer a well-cited rebuttal.

Germany’s far-right AfD derides EU as ‘failed project’

Germany’s far-right AfD on Sunday derided the EU as a “failed project” during a party conference in the eastern German city of Magdeburg.

A text adopted by hundreds of party delegates at the event said the bloc “completely failed” on issues such as climate and immigration. The party also said it does not support the Euro as a currency.

However, the text did not urge Germany to leave the EU. The AfD also did not call for the bloc to be dissolved entirely, as suggested by an earlier party draft in June.

Daughter says her father was ‘left for dead’ after violent protest at Eritrean festival in Toronto

The daughter of a man seriously injured in a protest during a weekend Eritrean festival says she believes the people responsible for the violence were “rewarded” after the City of Toronto revoked their permit.

Danait Mehreteab told CTV News Toronto that her 60-year-old father was helping set up for the festival and was passing out volunteer T-shirts when a group of protesters “descended upon” Earlscourt Park, near Caledonia Road and St. Clair Avenue West on Saturday.

UPDATE- Two opposing groups hold demonstrations at Toronto hotel where Eritrean party is being held

Tensions were high outside a downtown Toronto hotel Sunday as two opposing demonstrations were held ahead of a contentious Eritrean party, with one group condemning the event and the other voicing their support.

Hundreds of police officers, including members of the mounted unit, were deployed in the vicinity of the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, where dozens of protesters from the two groups had gathered.

The Miraculously Changing Narrative around Biden’s Involvement in Hunter Inc.

Rarely have newsrooms committed so much effort to protecting men of such little character.

As recently as just four years ago, the New York Times and other news outlets would have jumped at the chance to investigate allegations that the president and his son operated an influence-peddling operation involving foreign nationals. Every editor at every major newsroom would be barking at his staff right now, demanding that they look into whether the president’s son had, in fact, leveraged the family name in return for huge sums of cash, whether the president got a cut of the action, and whether the president himself coordinated quid pro quos with well-heeled foreign interests.

The Los Angeles Humanitarian Crisis Right Before Your Eyes

How could 6,000 shelter beds be unoccupied?

How could 6,000 shelter beds be unoccupied in Los Angeles County? It’s a number, reported in LAist in July, that makes no sense given the miles of homeless encampments that occupy area streets and sidewalks.

Looking for an answer, I talked to Dave — a formerly homeless man who asked me not to reveal his last name. Dave told me how he ended up unhoused in the 1990s and then worked his way into a good job and a steady roof over this head.

Health regulators round the world ignore Covid vaccine damage evidence that’s staring them in the face

IN March of this year a paper on excess mortality was published in Medicine and Clinical Science, titled ‘Annual All-Cause Mortality Rate in Germany and Japan (2005 to 2022) With Focus on The Covid-19 Pandemic: Hypotheses and Trend Analyses’, authored by Hagen Scherb and Keiji Hayashi, from the Institute for Computational Biology in Munich and the Hayashi Pediatric Clinic in Osaka. It provided significant hard data on the very high mortality rates in these two countries associated with the two Covid-19 vaccination roll outs.

The Left: What Is Left of It?

Since the 1980s, European political parties such as the Alliance for the Future of Austria, founded by Jörg Haider, and the National Front, founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen, have broadened their electoral base and forced their opponents, that is to say the traditional social democratic left and conservative right, to drop the labels they had used against them. The label “extreme right” became “far-right” and, currently, replaced by “populist.”

Today, we have no extreme right or far-right parties in Europe; we only have “populist” parties that have established themselves as parties of government in more than half of the European Union. Solidly based social democratic regimes in such places as Scandinavia and Finland have been dethroned by coalitions led by “populist” parties.

Similar coalitions are in power in Estonia, Greece, Italy, Poland and Slovakia.

Is NPR Trying To Start A Race War?

The government-funded pundits at National Propaganda Radio (NPR) seem to have a toxic fixation with race.

On Tuesday, the outlet blamed the success of American country music on racial prejudice. In a podcast episode titled “How racism became a marketing tool for country music,” NPR brought on a historian to outline the myriad ways country music is a vehicle for white supremacy. The host, Britany Luse, introduces the episode by previewing questions to Amanda Martinez, a country music historian at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Luse wants to know “how country music became this symbol of racism” and why country music stars remain popular despite artists who currently lead the charts “peddling racist rhetoric today.”

Media Suddenly Okay With Mass Purge of ‘Hard Pass’ Access for Reporters

One of the big media crusades during the Trump administration was the battle over the ‘hard passes’ for misbehaving reporters like CNN’s Jim Acosta and the correspondent for Playboy. Handing out hard passes to everyone, including Playboy, was a fundamental freedom of the press issue, and courts reinstated hard passes for reporters who had them suspended.

South Africa Is Descending Into Chaos: An Interview with Paul Maritz

Farm Murders Monument South Africa

In recent days, a chilling video emerged of a stadium filled with black South Africans singing “Kill the Boer,” a fighting song calling for the murder of white South Africans. The clip went viral, shocking Western people whose idea of South Africa was fixed in the Nelson Mandela era, and who haven’t paid attention to the country since its first black president died in 2013.

The New York Times rushed to assure its readers that there was nothing to worry about. The song, it said, is a relic of “decades” of anti-apartheid struggle (false: it debuted in 1993, one year after South African whites voted to end apartheid, and one year before Mandela became president), and besides only “far Right” whites are troubled by it.

US scientists achieve net energy gain for second time in a fusion reaction

US scientists have achieved net energy gain in a fusion reaction for the second time since December last year, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said on Sunday.

Scientists at the California-based lab repeated the breakthrough in an experiment in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) on 30 July that produced a higher energy yield than in December, a Lawrence Livermore spokesperson said.

Final results are still being analyzed, the spokesperson added.

Still the usual “Decades away from practical deployment.”

The UK’s Net Zero zealotry is harming the world’s poor

So much of our foreign aid is being used to keep the developing world down.

UK prime minister Rishi Sunak’s softening on Net Zero will have had many breathing a sigh of relief. This week, Sunak confirmed that oil and gas would still be produced in Britain for the foreseeable future, issuing 100 new drilling licences in the North Sea. This is good news for the UK, but a shift in thinking on climate policy could have huge ramifications for the developing world, too.

Cosmic Watergate 2.0?

The late Stanton Friedman, the engaging and entrepreneurial researcher who played such an important part in the evolution of the Roswell myth, used to refer to the supposed cover-up of a spacecraft crash not too far (in New Mexico miles) from Roswell as a “cosmic Watergate.” The label reflected the times — the late 1970s — when the long-forgotten story of the unfortunate UFO was first exhumed. It was later elaborated upon with the addition of the discovery of undersized alien corpses and, even, accounts of a second crash.

Pope Francis Labels Transsexuals “Daughters of God” Following Meeting

Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church, met at the Vatican with a group of transgender individuals—men who identify as women—who he referred to as “daughters of God,” a statement that appears somewhat contradictory to his past statements on gender ideology.

The supreme Pontiff spoke about the meeting, and what he said could apply to any of a number of meetings, as he met with transgender people in Rome several times last year.
