On the one hand, good. There’s not much point keeping a law on the books that’s been transparently flouted by most EU countries for years: EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that proposed new migration reforms would replace the so-called “Dublin Regulation”, which governs which member state handles a new arrival’s asylum […]
Recently I addressed a group of Parliamentarians in London about assisted suicide and euthanasia. My talk, which coincided with World Suicide Prevention day, sought to address the unintended consequences of legalising assisted suicide and euthanasia in the Netherlands. One of the arguments we hear is that assisted dying will bring down the number of violent […]
Broadly amusing, mainly because of how the American left spends so much of its time, in normal times, accusing people who oppose it of being anti-vaxxers. How times change: “With deaths from the coronavirus nearing 200,000 in the United States, Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Wednesday assailed President Trump for playing politics with a potential […]
Large corporations are exerting more and more political pressure and control over their employees’ basic human freedoms in attempts at virtue-signalling. Yet, their own business interests may display blatant hypocrisy. Woke capitalism, like the #MeToo movement before it, is in self-destruct mode. You may recall that last year, Disney threatened to boycott Georgia if the state […]
Perhaps it’s time to start seeing the increase in cases as part of the journey towards herd immunity and finally overcoming a very difficult year.
The US Democrats’ presidential election campaign is a fine balancing act of managing a double ticket. Joe Biden is undeniably not in control of his campaign. Kamala Harris and her backers are the organ grinders. Behind them stand the forces of radical feminism, wokeism and leftist, liberal agencies like Planned Parenthood. These forces are challenged […]
In November 2018, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the People’s Daily, listed one hundred party members who have contributed to China’s national development in the past 40 years. This list included Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba’s e-commerce kingdom, who has made significant contributions to the Chinese economy. […]
In a landmark case about gender dysphoria and gender transition, a Family Court judge in Sydney has ruled that a 16-year-old boy should be allowed to transition to a girl over the objections of his mother. The parents of “Imogen”, the pseudonym used by the Court for a boy named Thomas, are divorced and at […]
The recent debate around assisted suicide has shown that many in public life, rather than choosing compassion, solidarity and care decide to choose the extreme and egotistic approach. As a society we have a responsibility to care for the sick, old and the young. They deserve to be treated with dignity, hence instead of pushing […]
My husband’s grandmother took her life yesterday in a Victorian nursing home. After 87 years of a life well-lived, she swallowed state-sanctioned poison to end her life. The “health” professionals here called it medication, but the aim of taking medicine is to improve one’s health, not destroy it. Use all the Orwellian double-speak you like […]
Last month, hundreds of thousands of people signed a petition asking Netflix to cancel a movie, Cuties, after a poster advertising the film showed young girls in sexually suggestive poses, leading critics to say it “promoted paedophilia”. Last night, Netflix uploaded ‘Cuties’. It’s not as bad as people thought it would be: it’s worse. This […]
Whereas Trump appears at ease confronting the much-vaunted industrial-military complex, Biden’s record would suggest a tolerance for war that should disquiet those who would pay most for yet more destruction.
