Canada lists the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity

Canada has listed India’s Bishnoi gang as a terrorist entity, allowing the federal government to seize property and freeze money owned by the group in the country.

The federal public safety minister announced the move on Monday, saying the gang created a climate of fear and intimidation in Canadian diaspora communities.

Last year, Canadian police alleged that agents of the Indian government were using Bishnoi members to carry out “homicides, extortion and violent acts” and target supporters of the pro-Khalistan movement.

The WHO’s anti-alcohol campaign is a war against joy

My wife and I were at a university reunion last week. Twenty years on from our days of wine and roses, our contemporaries were looking well. Inevitably many of our reminiscences involved occasions when, as my Ulster Presbyterian forebears would say, strong drink had been taken.

I certainly hope that no undercover agents from the World Health Organization were present, listening to our stories and tutting. At a panel discussion at the General Assembly of the UN this week, Dr Saia Piukala, the WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific, set out his case for increasingly heavy restrictions on alcohol. It wasn’t quite a roadmap to Prohibition, but it wasn’t far off. He praised countries which have been steeply increasing alcohol taxes, and noted with pride that he had banned booze completely from all WHO events within his region.

UK: Fury after woke NHS supports first-cousin marriages despite risk of birth defects

The NHS has been accused of ‘taking the knee’ to political correctness by advocating the benefits of marriages between cousins – despite it carrying an increased risk of birth defects and being used as a way to oppress women.

The guidance – which incredibly points out that it has been allowed in Britain since Henry VIII passed a law enabling him to marry Anne Boleyn’s cousin Catherine Howard – says that cousin marriage offers benefits such as ‘stronger extended family support systems’.

The practice, which is common in the British Pakistani community, has been linked to a greater prevalence of disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease.
