Where are the Blue Haired Nose Ring People? ‘We have to prioritise South Africans’: Anti-migrant movement blocks foreigners from healthcare

A community clinic just north of Johannesburg has become the frontline of a battle in South Africa over whether foreigners can access public health facilities.

What started as a small local action in one area in 2022 has spread, with activists from the avowedly anti-migrant group, Operation Dudula, picketing some hospitals and clinics in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. They check identity cards and stop anyone who is not South African from entering.

“Dudula” means to remove something by force in the Zulu language.

European leaders are drawing up plans for maintaining peace in the Middle East. But reports suggest they should be more concerned about the presence of extremists at home.

Italian daily Libero Quotidiano warned on Thursday that “Hamas is already among us,” with an “armed, organised network ready to strike.” Giovanni Giacalone, who is an expert on terrorism and Islamic groups, also told il Giornale on Friday that while “it’s difficult to provide a precise estimate of how many Hamas supporters there are in Italy … I wouldn’t be surprised if we reached thousands.”

Errant Prince Andrew’s years of scandal finally became too much

There was a time when Prince Andrew was seen as the golden boy, the Falklands war hero and dashing helicopter pilot who could do no wrong.

Even before his time in the Royal Navy, Andrew was widely admired as a fresh-faced prince with the charm and charisma that his older brother Charles could only dream of.

Andrew, Charles said, was “the one with the Robert Redford looks of the family”.

What is happening in Birmingham is a sinister vision of Britain’s future

Shortly after midday on Saturday a baying mob is expected to gather outside the Birmingham offices of Shabana Mahmood.

The Home Secretary would be well advised to stay away, because the ring-leaders are not interested in small measures. In highly inflammatory social media adverts, they have appealed for nothing less than “mass mobilisation” of pro-Palestinian protestors to “shut Birmingham down.” Never mind that the war between Israel and Hamas is officially over: this is an ideological crusade with no obvious end. Those behind the latest march say they “won’t be silenced” until Palestine is “free.”

If you needed a wake-up call for the global food-manufacturing complex, these past few months delivered it with a roar.

And now Nestle has dropped a bombshell: A plan to cut 16,000 jobs globally — one of the largest layoffs ever seen in the consumer-goods space outside of bankruptcy. In Canada, Nestle refuses to disclose how many jobs will go, despite employing more than 3,500 people across several locations.

Elghawaby pressed Ottawa to install Muslim prayer rooms despite 2% representation

The Justin Trudeau-appointed anti-Islamophobia advisor pushed federal managers to create dedicated Muslim prayer rooms in government offices, even though only 2% of federal employees identify as Muslim, newly obtained records show.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Amira Elghawaby, appointed by cabinet as the government’s Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, argued that failing to provide prayer spaces during work hours amounted to “Islamophobia in the workplace,” according to notes released through Access To Information.


She should be fired and the post abolished but Carney cares only for votes.
