How PC fuelled the grooming-gangs scandal

The authorities were so terrified of being called racist they let serial abusers off the hook.

new review into allegations of historic child sexual exploitation in Oldham, Greater Manchester has provided yet another grim entry in the never-ending grooming-gangs scandal.

It’s all so outrageously familiar. Vulnerable young girls were drugged and sexually abused by gangs of largely Asian – or, more accurately, Pakistani Muslim – men. And the gangs did so with seeming impunity, as police and the local authorities effectively looked the other way.

Jamil Jivani: The Black victimhood narratives that ignore actual progress

Since Toronto’s police chief James Ramer offered an apology for what he called systemic racism, the Toronto Star has been working to reaffirm racial grievances about law enforcement.

Why the west risks condemning Ukraine to slow strangulation

Speaking at a private dinner in London recently, a senior serving British military officer argued that the west had no choice but to see Ukraine as just one phase in a decade-long battle with Russia. “If Ukraine wins, Russia will never accept that. If Russia wins, it will go further,” he said.

Yet in Whitehall they fear the “F word” – fatigue – and worry that the west with its TikTok-attention span and bias towards instant gratification does not have the resolve for the years-long sacrifice required to defeat Russia, or even stem the military tide in the villages of eastern Ukraine.

That anxiety is shared by Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, who in a speech to marketing professionals in Cannes this week pleaded with them to use their creative ingenuity to keep the world focused on his country’s struggle: “Don’t let the world switch to something else,” he said.

The leak, the threats, the violence — reaction to Roe is dark day for nation

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a victory for the rule of law.

I’m not talking so much about the opinion itself. I’m talking about the Supreme Court majority’s demonstration that it will do what it thinks is right despite unprecedented pressure from the media, from Democrats in Congress, from “activist” groups and even from angry mobs and attempted assassins who show up at their homes.


Media Meltdown Compilation: Roe Overturned, Journalist Hardest Hit

We all knew it was coming, and we all knew what the reaction would be. During the 10 am ET hour Friday, CNN’s Jim Sciutto visibly winced as he broke the news that the Supreme Court had overturned the precedent establishing abortion as a legal right.

JK Rowling in freedom of speech war with Twitter over trans op man’s story of regret

JK Rowling has backed a young British man in a freedom of speech row after Twitter deleted his account of how he was ‘castrated’ during gender reassignment surgery that has prompted him to sue the NHS over the operation in a historic legal action.

The man has claimed that doctors did not warn him of the drastic outcome of the body-altering surgery which has left him infertile, incontinent, with no sensation in his crotch and feeling like a ‘sexual eunuch’.

He said on Twitter: ‘The minute I woke up from surgery, I knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life.’

Russia is sidestepping American oil sanctions

The global oil market isn’t exactly cooperating

When the European Union finally made the decision to ban 90 percent of Russia’s crude oil imports by the end of the year, the bureaucrats in Brussels were jubilant. The EU’s adoption of oil sanctions was thought be a big blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who depends on the revenue generated by his country’s oil exports to fund his war in Ukraine.

Biden’s Green Hypocrisy

The president’s attempt to lift the federal gas tax exposes the hollowness of climate-change rhetoric.

If there were any lingering doubt that climate-change policy is empty virtue-signaling, President Joe Biden dispelled it on Wednesday when he called on Congress to lift the federal gasoline tax. This desperate pitch is just the latest move in the White House’s increasingly panicked campaign to lower the cost of tanking up. Biden also asked state officials to pause their own local gasoline taxes.

Sudan: The Genocide No One Talks About

In Darfur, an area of Sudan, massacres have been taking place on a daily basis for several decades. This is happening everywhere in the country, even before its independence.

But who is talking about it?

The Western world seems lack empathy, perhaps due to its weariness in the watching this tragedy for so long, and masked by geopolitical and economic interests.

Don’t tell me… another Islamist state convulsed in violence. Colour me shocked. Islam dominates this region and it is a conflict primarily between “Arabs” and “Africans” with a small percentage of unfortunate Christians and Animists thrown into the mix.

Rising wages for the poor? The left’s solution: more immigration

Back when Democrats were the party of the working man, they would have welcomed news that low-wage workers were in a position to demand higher pay.

Not anymore.

Whether under President Donald Trump or in today’s tight labor market, the left’s transformation into the party of large corporations and the professional-managerial class is evident from its discomfort with low-wage workers being able to raise their earnings.

This is how Freeland and Trudeau are fighting the inflation they helped cause.
