Who’ll speak up for the working-class white boys who’ve become Britain’s new oppressed minority? Professor responds as the smallest proportion EVER get into top universities

Britain, we are often told, is a deeply racist and intolerant society, in which sinister ‘power structures’ hold back minority ethnic groups, while the white majority push selfishly ahead.

Yet new data flies in the face of this fashionable narrative.

Following a national drive to make undergraduate intakes more ‘diverse’, figures released on Thursday by the Department for Education showed that, for the first time, white young people are now proportionately the least likely of all major ethnic groups to attend our top universities.

Why Pope Francis may be hesitant to rescind the already abrogated Doctrine of Discovery

Pope Francis’s apology for the Catholic Church’s role in Indigenous residential schools in Canada has raised questions about whether he would formally rescind the church’s Doctrine of Discovery.

The doctrine, dating back to the 15th century, included a series of edicts known as papal bulls, that were later used to justify colonizing Indigenous lands.

But any hesitation by the Pope to renounce it may stem from the Vatican’s view that the church has already done away with and replaced those edicts, some observers suggest.

Alex Jones’ InfoWars conspiracy website parent files for bankruptcy

July 29 (Reuters) – The parent of far-right conspiracy website InfoWars filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection on Friday as the company and its founder Alex Jones face up to $150 million in damages in a trial over longstanding falsehoods he perpetuated about the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.

The bankruptcy filing by the InfoWars parent, Free Speech Systems LLC, would normally result in the trial and related litigation being halted. But Free Speech plans to ask a bankruptcy judge to allow the trial currently underway in Texas to continue and is seeking an emergency hearing on Monday, according to a court filing.

Ottawa’s proposed oil and gas emissions cap is economically and constitutionally questionable

Following up on its pledge during last year’s election, the Trudeau government published its proposal for capping greenhouse gases from the oil and gas sector.

Ottawa proposes such a cap under either of two approaches: regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to create a cap-and-trade system across oil and gas producers; or a higher carbon price and greater stringency for oil and gas facilities under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (otherwise known as the federal carbon pricing “backstop.”)

Monkeypox Primarily Affects Gay Men. Why Are We Scared to Say It

Monkeypox seemingly sprung out of nowhere to infect large swathes of the globe, replacing COVID-19 as the malady du jour. Experts say the number of monkeypox cases is severely undercounted, and the World Health Organization just declared the disease a global health emergency.

Monkeypox has hit America particularly hard. Our nation has the most recorded cases on Earth, with nearly a third centralized in New York City.

So, are we due for a new plague on par with the coronavirus?

According to the data, not unless you’re a gay guy.  


The Star doesn’t mention the word gay, only men who have sex with multiple male partners…

Here’s why most people don’t need a vaccination against monkeypox just yet, according to experts

Vaccination campaigns currently underway in Canada and elsewhere that are limited to men who have sex with multiple male partners makes sense, infectious diseases physicians told the Star, given that it is the group almost exclusively affected by the outbreak, and such campaigns can help ensure there isn’t wider transmission to other segments of the population.

Is COVID prematurely aging our immune systems?

In a recent situation update, Ontario public health officials noted that evidence is emerging SARS-CoV-2 can cause “immune dysregulation,” a vague term that’s used when the immune system isn’t behaving normally.

White blood cell counts may be off, immune cells don’t work the way they should, inflammation is higher than it should be. “Long story short, COVID-19 leads to lasting, and possibly permanent changes in immune cells in some, but not all, people,” McMaster University immunologist Dawn Bowdish said.

Pope says genocide took place at Canada’s residential schools for Indigenous children

While the word genocide wasn’t heard in any of Pope Francis’s addresses during a week-long trip to Canada, on his flight back to Rome, he said everything he described about the residential school system and its forced assimilation of Indigenous children amounts to genocide.

“I didn’t use the word genocide because it didn’t come to mind but I described genocide,” Pope Francis told reporters on the papal flight from Iqaluit to Rome on Friday.

Is that a potential unmarked genocide?

‘White people will be the first target’: South Africa’s Julius Malema warns of impending ‘violence’ because ‘the poor are getting poorer’

A South African opposition figure has warned of impending civil unrest in the continent’s richest country and likened it to ‘an Arab Spring.’

The controversial opposition leader Julius Malema spoke of the country waking up one day with ‘very angry people that are not going to be reasonable.’

Discontent with the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party in South Africa is at all-time high levels due to the social conditions within the country and ‘the poor becoming poor,’ according to Malema.

‘When the unled revolution comes… the first target is going to be white people,’ Mr Malema told the BBC’s Hardtalk programme, adding that the uprising would also target ‘black elites.’

“Canadian man” gets life in prison from U.S. judge for aiding ISIS

A U.S. judge on Friday sentenced a Saudi-born Canadian man to life in prison after he pleaded guilty in December to aiding Islamic State by working with propagandists who publicized the group’s beheading of hostages including American journalist James Foley.

Mohammed Khalifa, 39, who grew up in Toronto and left Canada in 2013 for Syria, killed two Syrian soldiers on the group’s behalf before his capture by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement on his sentence.

He also murdered for his satanic Allah but the CBC doesn’t want to offend ISIS.

Now, a study has warned of the impact that this surge in single-use plastic had on animals around the world.

Researchers from Dalhousie University scanned social media platforms to collect photos of wildlife tangled in face masks and disposable gloves.

JIVANI: Trudeau insults Emancipation Day by giving pass to slave labour

Every week I could write a column on the many ways that Justin Trudeau is a hypocrite.

But even I’m surprised by Trudeau’s insincerity on an issue as serious as slavery.

Canadians can soon expect Trudeau to make comments on social media in honour of Emancipation Day. It’s one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the men and women who fought to end slavery in the British Empire in 1834.
