UK: Police plead with asylum seekers not to ‘harass or abuse’ women

Asylum seekers have been told by police to treat women with respect and not harass them or risk being arrested.

Officers have drawn up a PowerPoint presentation for asylum seekers in hotels on the key points of “UK culture” which they are told they should respect.

It includes recognising that women “have the same rights as men”, so “must be treated with respect and courtesy”. “If you harass or abuse any female, you can be arrested,” it states.

Hike in defence spending could mean cuts in other areas, Mark Carney warns

OTTAWA — In spending much more on national defence, the federal government might have to cut back in other areas, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday, as he hailed a new and more aggressive target of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to crank up its military budget over the next decade.

Those “trade-offs,” as Carney put it, are expected closer to 2030. But evolving threats and global dangers mean Canada must bolster the Canadian Armed Forces and devote tens of billions of dollars in annual spending to the military and defence-related infrastructure.


Oh No! Will the Trannies be made to do without?

He just signed the deal and can’t be bothered trying.

“The Ocean Is Queer”

For years, radical gender ideology appeared unstoppable. The media framed transgender identity as the next frontier of liberation. Pride Month drew enthusiastic endorsements from nearly every university, corporation, and school district. Dissenters were often marginalized, and the prevailing narrative allowed little room for debate.

No longer. Since the start of the second Trump administration, the movement has begun to retreat. The Supreme Court recently upheld a Tennessee law banning medical transition procedures for minors. Many corporations have withdrawn support for this year’s Pride events. An ideology that once seemed culturally dominant has lost significant ground in public opinion.

Goodbye Fancy Bar, Hello At-Home Pizza Party: Young Americans Cut Back

Young Americans’ shopping spree is over.

In-store and online purchases for 18- to 24-year-olds fell 13% year-over-year between January and April, according to market research firm Circana. Spending by older groups is still on the rise but has slowed.

A combination of economic challenges is driving the decline. Young grads are having a much tougher time finding jobs. Student-loan payments are restarting for millions of borrowers. Over roughly the past year, credit-card delinquency rates have risen to their highest points since before the pandemic, and are highest for those 18 to 29, according to the New York Federal Reserve.


Tsk. Kids today.  There’s always work in the coal mines for anyone that wants.

Colbert Dances After CNN Article Casts Doubt On Success Of Iran Strikes

On Tuesday, CNN published an article of debatable accuracy alleging that Saturday’s B-2 strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were not as successful as President Trump and other administration officials have claimed. However, CBS’s Stephen Colbert wasn’t interested in the nuances of underground nuclear facility bomb damage assessment on The Late Show because if he was, he would not have been able to do his MC Hammer dance in response.

Sexual orientation question to appear on census for first time in 2026

Canadian residents will be asked about their sexual orientation in next year’s national census, CBC News has learned.

While Statistics Canada has asked about sexual orientation in past surveys, next year will mark the first time the question will appear on the long-form census questionnaire that will go out to 25 per cent of Canadian residents in May 2026.

The questions will not be included in the short-form census that goes out to 75 per cent of Canadian residents.


I am not seeing much difference between Carney’s Canada and Justin’s version.

Migrant can stay in UK because he does not want to shave

An asylum seeker from Tajikistan has been allowed to stay in the UK because he would have had to shave his beard off if he was deported.

The unnamed man won an appeal after arguing that he could be tortured and have his facial hair forcibly removed if he was sent back home.

The Home Office tried to deport him back to the Central Asian state, but an asylum court has now ruled that he may be entitled to international protection in the UK because of his beard.

This meat was made in a lab but from Cowsills or Cow Cells?

Who’s going to know the difference?

This burger was made in a lab from cow cells… Should it really be served in restaurants?

Inside an anonymous building in Oxford, Riley Jackson is frying a steak. The perfectly red fillet cut sizzles in the pan, its juices releasing a meaty aroma. But this is no ordinary steak. It was grown in the lab next door.

What’s strangest of all is just how real it looks. The texture, when cut, is indistinguishable from the real thing.

“That’s our goal,” says Ms Jackson of Ivy Farm Technologies, the food tech start-up that created it. “We want it to be as close to a normal steak as possible.”

Andrew Tate and Bonnie Blue: monsters of online culture

You might be thinking, given the current geopolitical tensions, that the greatest threat to humanity is Israel, Iran and the US dropping bombs on one another. I regret to inform you that another humanity-destroying event occurred recently: the Bonnie Blue / Andrew Tate debate on the Disruptors podcast, which dropped on Friday. By Monday evening, it had racked up over two million views on YouTube. Okay, it won’t actually kill anyone to watch it, but it might just kill your faith in your fellow man.
