Selective policing
Since when is it the position of the police to police insensivity?
Since when do the police get to invent new laws? Such as: Possession of a dog in the presence of a Muslim?
A dog can render a Muslim ritually unclean, since when is it the role of the police to enforce some groups religious ritual on [...]
Crimes of Moral Turpitude.
I have been to USA several times. I like Americans. I don’t like American government. Now I thought nothing came close to the sheer mendacity of the UK’s Home Office and it’s immigration and nationality directorate. But I looked something up last night. You see as a UK citizen I don’t need a visa to [...]
Get rid of these people
The British deserves better than this drivel
But what I found most offensive of all is that World War II is to be described as "the European Civil War".
As an Australian, who’s father fought in North Africa and the Pacific, I doubt he finds this any less offensive than I do.
In truth the proposal to redesignate [...]
Modern conservatives
An American view of Conservatism in the Anglosphere. Stephen Harper and Tony Abbott shape up well, but David Cameron? Not so good.

Polar bears to die from harmless trace gas and hail of hot lead, but mostly hail of hot lead
Fractional Reserve Banking is not what most people think it is.
This is not a technical post. This is a basic post intended to clear up an important point of confusion that, I believe, exists in the minds of many people.
When people hear the term “fractional reserve banking” they think (if they think about the term at all) something like the following……

Honest dealing is still illegal
When the Canadian Stasi went after Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn the censors hadn’t considered that they had taken on two of the loudest mouths the Dominion possessed, and who kicked up such a stink that the faux courts fell over themselves concocting reason not to convict. These days Levant and Steyn are in enviable [...]
Ezra and Sam
I guess Brian at Samizdata must have been watching this at about the same time I was.
Never heard of Sam Solomon, ex imam, before, but the strength of his conversion and the power of his witness for Christ could almost, almost but not quite, convert this confirmed atheist.
My complaint with this interview was Ezra. Now [...]
There goes the Internet
I guess we can all be excited by The Canadian Tories winning a majority and overturning traditional Canadian Liberalism, right? Can’t we?
Don’t forget, these people are modern, progressive, 21st Century Conservatives.
Something nice from the mainsteam media.
As early moring Fox News does not presently exist in Britian (it has been taken over by Sky News for Royal Wedding reasons - errr if we wanted to watch Royal Wedding stuff could we not just turn on Sky News…..) I have been watching the financial stations.
I can not get Fox Business (”if you [...]
Oh for Gods sake
Not Pilgers fault I know, but still, the whole goddamn family seems to have a problem with the sides they choose.
A bit sarky from Michael Coren tho, to slip it in like this.
Ten days behind the rest of us
Seems the data may have hit the fan over in the Kanuckistani provinces. The Environment Minister, Jim Prentice, made the following statement:
"What I take from what’s happened at the East Anglia Institution is that there were some serious allegations of impropriety and some serious questions about the quality of the scientific work that was done [...]
The State is not your friend: #35674
The turning point came when he overheard a woman talking on the phone to a police dispatcher, saying she wouldn’t give her name because she was afraid. "The police won’t do anything," the woman said, "Who is going to help us?"
Just what do the law abiding do when the police abandon them? Long term, across [...]
