“This is Whitechapel. This is a Muslim area.”
Listen to the sheer, breathtaking entitlement. A mob of blokes surrounding a lone female police officer on a British street, demanding she act as their personal blasphemy enforcer because someone dared to offend their religion.

A heavy police presence is being deployed in Lyon on Saturday as thousands prepare to march in honour of slain activist Quentin Deranque, whose death last week has shaken France and intensified political tensions ahead of next year’s presidential race.
The rally, expected to draw between 2,000 and 3,000 participants, will proceed under tight security despite calls from Lyon’s Green mayor to ban it. Residents along the planned route have boarded up ground-floor windows, fearing clashes with counter-protesters.

In March 2019, Caylan Ford was considered a star candidate for the United Conservative Party in Alberta as the NDP government under Rachel Notley called a general election. Despite her young age, Ford had a formidable resumé, including a master’s degree from Oxford University and a record of employment with the Canadian foreign ministry as an international affairs specialist. As a young, accomplished woman, she tempered the list of UCP candidates, which was predominantly conservative men.
Before the end of that month, however, Ford was abruptly forced to resign as a candidate and became a political pariah. She had been struck by cancel culture, and there was no recovering politically.
IN SPITE of a sharp fall in net migration, new figures have revealed that more money than ever is being channelled in personal remittances from the UK to migrant countries of origin.
In 2025 alone, Pakistan received £4.24billion in remittances, narrowly surpassing India at £4.17billion. Combined, more than £8.4billion was sent to just these two countries, a figure that continues to rise year-on-year as established migrant communities maintain close financial ties back home.
OTTAWA — In recent months, Canadian democracy has been shaken by events that ought to prompt serious reflection — not just from politicians, but from every voter who believes in representative government. For years, leaning on my expertise as a former RCMP Superintendent, I have warned that complacency, political expediency, and foreign influence are eroding the ethical foundations of our institutions. Today, those warnings feel more relevant than ever.
What a difference a year makes. At this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was given a standing ovation for a speech that echoed what Vice President JD Vance had said so scandalously 12 months earlier. Rubio accused Europeans of trying “to appease a climate cult” that has impoverished the continent by forcing it to adopt catastrophic energy policies. Like Vance, he also criticised Europe’s immigration policies and its dogmatic commitment to global free trade, which he said has fuelled deindustrialisation and hollowed out supply chains. He even lamented the transfer of sovereignty to international organisations — a swipe not just at the UN and international legal bodies, but at the EU itself.
Europeans hated Vance’s speech. Yet they loved Rubio’s. The difference was tone. Unlike Vance, Rubio sugar-coated the message. “For us Americans,” he said, “home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe.” Europeans just love it when Americans show respect for their cultural heritage. It flatters their sense of pride — and superiority.
There were two events in Canada last week which may, viewed optimistically, constitute a turning point in the shameful and distressing flirtation that this country is having with antisemitism. There is widespread anecdotal evidence of discrimination against Jewish applicants for many categories of work and entry to exclusive professional occupations, including doctors and teachers. Antisemitic incidents are far more numerous than the police can make any pretense to respond to and include unprecedented levels of violence, car theft, and petty harassment such as ripping Mezuzahs off door-frames.
When I published my previous essay in the Daily Sceptic on the rape-gang scandal, I attempted to describe what a serious integrity mechanism would look like in a state that wished to root out corruption rather than narrate it. Drawing on the example of Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), I set out, in practical terms, what such a body would require: independence from police and ministerial control, genuine investigative authority and a simple governing proposition: that no institution can be trusted to police itself when it is itself the problem.
My former colleague and sometime co-writer David Betz remarked on X that the piece read like a final appeal to reason – a last attempt to delineate what accountability might resemble if the contemporary administrative state in Britain still possessed the will to pursue it. We both agree that it does not have the will and have written several times to this effect.
That observation points to what the earlier essay left insufficiently examined. The pressing question is not what an integrity mechanism would look like. It is why such a mechanism has not appeared, and why, under the present dispensation, it cannot.
A few short years ago, before she had proposed a new set of referendum questions on Thursday aimed at curbing rapid population growth, Premier Danielle Smith was actively courting newcomers to the province. Indeed, with the private sector facing a shortage of skilled workers, the premier could hardly bring in enough people to satisfy her appetite.
Smith’s latest referendum push, then, seems like a dramatic shift in policy. Instead, the premier told reporters on Friday, her change in tone is the result of a stark mismatch between Alberta’s efforts to recruit skilled workers and changes to Canada’s immigration system made under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
CBC's Janyce McGregor admits that Alberta is using the Quebec playbook to seek similar provincial control over immigration "Yeah, it seems like that could be what they're angling for here, using tactics similar to what we've seen used in Quebec,"

A black professor claimed he was the victim of a racist attack – only for police to rule his ‘aggressors’ were just trying to clear snow from their car.
Dr Onwubiko Agozino, a sociology professor at Virginia Tech, contacted authorities on February 10 after a group of young white men juveniles stopped their trucks on the street near his Christiansburg home while playing loud music and pushing snow and ice from a truck bed.
He claimed the music was racist and that ice blocks had been hurled onto his property in an act of racial aggression.
It was Monday, Oct. 27, 1975 when Ottawa student Robert Poulin walked into a religion class packed with his fellow students and sprayed bullets before killing himself in the hall outside.
One of his victims died and several other students in a packed religion class at St. Pius X High School were shot by a deeply troubled classmate who had raped and murdered Glebe Collegiate student Kim Rabot in the basement of his home earlier that day.
