Germany: A Cold Wind

Germany’s manufacturing sector, the backbone of its economy, has been struggling of late. It is having to contend with slow domestic demand, and exports, a key element in its success, are running into headwinds. Manufacturing is an energy-intensive sector, and Germany’s high energy costs are hurting its competitiveness. These costs have been driven higher by the withdrawal of “cheap” Russian gas, by Angela Merkel’s decision to resume the country’s reckless abandonment of nuclear power (which is now complete) and by another project eagerly backed by Merkel, massive investments in renewables. Climate policy makers boast about green jobs (and there are some, although many more in China), but the statistic that matters will be the net jobs number. Is the energy “transition” creating more jobs than it is destroying?

Racism or brazen scam?

Groups of Travellers are behaving bizarrely in pubs while secretly recording themselves and then suing bar staff for thousands of pounds for refusing to serve them

Four Irish men walk into a bar. But this isn’t the first line of a joke. As hundreds of pub landlords are finding out, it can instead mark the start of a very modern nightmare.

Gary Sidwell is a case in point. He runs The Purley Arms, an old-school boozer in a working-class neighbourhood of South Croydon.

Here, his ordeal began on a Wednesday afternoon in October last year, when young, burly Brian Mongan visited the premises, accompanied by his brother Pete and their friends Paddy and Tom McDonagh.

Canada has it’s own “human rights and anti-racist” grifters.

Another reason Toronto should be nuked

Down with the Canadian International Air Show

Summertime in Toronto is marked by days and nights at beaches, park gatherings and, of course, festivals. From Salsa on St. Clair to Taste of Manila to the Caribbean Carnival, they reflect the immense ethnic and racial diversity of this city, which has a population that is more than 50 per cent people of colour and home to many immigrants and refugees.
Among these many festivals is an event that is marred by controversy.
