Der Spiegel, a major political magazine in Germany, posted an op-ed article on Monday attacking the Queen for not taking action to stop Britain from leaving the European Union.
When I think of shop teachers I think of grizzled older men who have lost a finger or two in the trades so they transitioned to being a teacher. My shop teacher was like this, and I imagine that many of you had similar experiences.
On Tiffany Cross’s show MSNBC show on Saturday, resident provocateur Elie Mystal of The Nation made an invidious generalization about white people that would be condemned as racist if made in respect of people of another race.
The Taliban have released a US engineer they had held hostage since 2020 in exchange for an Afghan tribal leader held in US custody since 2005.
Mark Frerichs was handed over at Kabul airport on Monday, the Taliban said.
In return they received Bashir Noorzai, a Taliban ally serving a life sentence for drug trafficking.
US President Joe Biden said that the swap required “difficult decisions” that he did not take lightly.
Ukrainian soldiers have broken through Russia’s frontline along the Oskil River, exposing an important supply route and swathes of territory that the Kremlin has promised to defend.
Fighting has focused on Kupiansk since Russian forces fled a surprise Ukrainian offensive around Kharkiv in northeast Ukraine last week but now military bloggers from both sides have said that Russia’s defence has crumbled once again.
“Kupiansk has surrendered. The enemy is on the left bank of the Oskil,” the pro-Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky told his 450,000 subscribers last night.

Manufacturers are furloughing workers and shutting down lines because they can’t pay the gas and electric charges.
The furnace, heated to 1,500 degrees Celsius, was glowing red. Workers at the Arc International glass factory loaded it with sand that slowly pooled into a molten mass. Nearby on the factory floor, machines transformed the shapeless liquid with a blast of hot air into thousands of delicate wine glasses, destined for sale to restaurants and homes worldwide.
Nicholas Hodler, the chief executive, surveyed the assembly line, shimmering blue with natural gas flames. For years, Arc had been powered by cheap energy that helped turn the company into the world’s largest producer of glass tableware — and a vital employer in this working-class region of northern France.

Justin Trudeau faced intense criticism after he was recorded singing a rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody following a dinner just two days before Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
The Prime Minister of Canada stooped and jibed during the tone-deaf jollity – as he belted out the song at an impromptu session in London’s swanky Corinthia Hotel while the country was in its official period of mourning.
Trudeau, 50, was one of the many world leaders who traveled to the United Kingdom to meet the new King Charles III and pay their respects to the Queen at the monumental funeral this morning.
Freedom under a symbolic monarch, guided by a distributed system of government, is a gift from Britain to the world
There are only a few figures who are recognised nationally, and even fewer who are known internationally. But it’s a very small number – a handful – who are known by everyone, everywhere in the world. Fame, like everything else, comes in tiers, and the sky’s the limit.
Queen Elizabeth II was one such figure. American presidents sometimes come close, but none have been as enduringly popular or as instantly recognisable as the Queen. But Elizabeth II was far more than the world’s most famous woman. She was the defender of the most effective system of government that has yet been created: that of constitutional monarchy.
Across the Western world people are rising up against their dishonest rulers.
So now we know: nowhere is immune to the populist surge. Not even Sweden. Not even every European liberals’ favourite welfarist state. Once considered the happy country of Europe, an oasis of technocratic calm in an often unpredictable continent, now even Sweden has been rattled by populism. In last week’s election the Sweden Democrats, a right-wing nationalist party, emerged as the second largest party in parliament. And this has shaken not only the political class in Stockholm but liberal elites around the world. It’s a ‘dramatic shift’, says the New York Times. ‘Astonishing’, says Deutsche Welle. An ‘earthquake’, insist leftist observers. They sound like the troops of an embattled army watching their last patch of territory be conquered by the enemy.
Switzerland’s environment minister has recommended that people save energy by having showers together.
Simonetta Sommaruga, 62, is promoting measures to reduce consumption by 15 per cent this winter to avoid the risk of power cuts.
Responding to questions on the government’s campaign by readers of 20 Minuten, the Swiss newspaper, she suggested that they could “turn off the computer when you don’t need it, or turn off lights, or shower together”.
Just what is going on in Leicester? Last night violence broke out in the city after hundreds of young men in Covid masks and balaclavas took to the streets as part of an ‘unplanned protest’. The police attempted to contain the protestors but soon lost control of the situation. Videos posted online show officers struggling to contain the crowds while bottles fly and smash on the pavement around them. In another unverified video a group of men flip a car. According to the police, two arrests have been made and they are investigating several other incidents of violence and disorder.
For the past few weeks Leicester has become a kind of mini-Kashmir in the middle of England, with clashes, protests and disorder breaking out in the city between young Muslim and Hindu men. It’s a remarkable turn of events for a city which has long prided itself on being a functioning multicultural society, a place where Hindus and Muslims live alongside one another in relative harmony.

An Australian Liberal senator has unleashed a brutal attack on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, saying she’s sick of the pair and labelling them ‘awful, revolting people.’

How come we can’t have OZ style media? All we get is buckets of LPC filth served up daily on our networks.
Canadian immigration levels are currently at their highest since the era just before the First World War, when mass immigration was used to homestead the prairies. Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents.
One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada (the combined population of Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 11 million in the last census).
Canada – A Great Big Leicester.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to say Sunday whether Ottawa granted asylum to a former operative of Canada‘s spy service after he was freed from a Turkish prison last month for trafficking three underaged British schoolgirls to Islamic State militants.
Mr. Trudeau suggested, however, that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service would not have been allowed to run a double agent who engaged in the smuggling of minors under new rules brought in by his government in 2017.
