Mosque in uber-liberal London enclave bans all females over 12 from charity park run

Women and girls over the age of 12 have been banned by a mosque from taking part in a charity fun run, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The 5km event being held in an East London park today – which has been billed as ‘inclusive’ and ‘family-friendly’ – is open to men and boys of all ages, but organisers insist that female teenagers and women can be forbidden from joining in.

The fundraiser, called Muslim Charity Run and organised by East London Mosque, is being held in Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets.

No survivors found after Tennessee explosives plant blast

Sixteen people missing after a major explosion at a Tennessee munitions factory on Friday are presumed to be dead, according to the sheriff.

Recovery teams had been clinging to hope of finding any of the missing alive, as of Saturday evening “it’s safe” to assume they are deceased, said Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis.

Authorities had originally feared that 18 people had died, but two people believed present during the blast were actually not at the site and have been located, according to Davis.

Safety barriers set up in downtown Kitchener ahead of Oktoberfest celebrations

Anyone heading to the main stage at Willkommen Platz on King Street in Kitchener may notice a new security feature has been added this year.

Mifram barriers have been set up near the main stage.

“We can move this in seconds, but it will stop a truck,” Steve Roth, special events manager with the City of Kitchener, explained. “It’s kind of a best of both worlds type of unit.”

STIRLING: ‘Climate Barbie’ and the cost of virtue-signalling

In 2019, Catherine McKenna declared a climate emergency. In a recent Nate Erskine-Smith interview with McKenna, about her new book “Run Like a Girl,” he has a telling sentence that certainly most Western Canadians will “get it in their guts.” At about 30 minutes into the interview, Erskine-Smith recounts several of McKenna’s initiatives, noting that the carbon tax gets the most attention, but she is also responsible for imposing stringent methane rules on agriculture and industry, the Clean Electricity Standard, and the industrial carbon price. BTW, she also introduced the “no more pipelines” Bill C-69 in 2018.

Vance and Musk attack ‘shameful’ graffiti art at Canterbury Cathedral

JD Vance and Elon Musk have led criticism of “shameful” graffiti art at Canterbury Cathedral.

The US vice president said the art installation in the building made a “beautiful historical building really ugly.”

The brightly coloured temporary display is designed to display questions people have for God in moments of doubt and curiosity but has attracted controversy with one critic describing it as “belonging in a car park”.

Congratulations, Canada. This is the stupidest attack on JK Rowling yet

Without doubt, the nicest people in the world are Canadians. They simply can’t do enough for you. I’ve always been convinced that, if a Canadian awoke in the night to find you burgling his house, he’d offer to help. He’d hate you to hurt your back, carrying that big heavy TV all by yourself.

This near-pathological niceness, however, does have a downside. I’m certain it’s why Canada has fallen for gender ideology harder than any other country. Canadians’ eagerness to please has left them hopelessly vulnerable to the #BeKind mantra.

As a result, they sometimes do and say some very silly things. For proof, see the story this week about the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, whose members have issued a tearful public apology – for organising a “magical-themed forest walk” inspired by Harry Potter.
