Banning Alternative f?r Deutschland Thu Apr 24, 2025 15:00 | Eugyppius
In Germany the Left doesn't need to beat Right-wing parties, it can just ban them for supposedly being a bit too much like Hitler. Eugyppius is increasingly convinced the AfD will face a potential ban in the coming months.

It?s Time to Kick the Extremists Out of the Classroom Thu Apr 24, 2025 13:00 | Brian Monteith
PETA's schools programme tells children that animals are "just like us" and it's wrong to have pets and zoos. An organisation that has likened farming to the Holocaust has no place in the classroom, says Brian Monteith.

The Green Revolution is Destroying UK Jobs, Livelihoods and Communities Thu Apr 24, 2025 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Economic cluelessness goes hand-in-hand with rampant hypocrisy in the grisly green echo chamber, says Chris Morrison. The jobs destroyed in the private sector have no hope of being balanced in the new fantasy green world.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3In Ireland the violent criminals of the IRA and UVF no longer call the shots.
Democracy rules and the people of Northern Ireland and the Republic are prospering in a climate of peace.
If unification ever occurs it will be by consent.
The rule of Saddam is over and the Iraqi people now have parliamentary democracy.
Those who are opposed to democracy are Sunni and Shia fundementalist extremists and criminal gangs.
The international community should support the Iraq government and help their military and police to defeat these enemies.
The sooner the terrorists and thugs are defeated the sooner Coalition troops can return home and Iraqis can take responsibility for their own country.
Reconciliation between Sunnis and Shias is key.
The religious divide between Protestants and Catholics had more to do with power and control.
Like the Unionist Protestants, the Sunnis who were the backbone of the Saddam dictatorship was lost their privaledge position and must share power with the Shia.
For the sake of innocent Iraqis who are being murdered by extremists and who are collatoral damage as a result of Coalition military actions against terrorists and thugs, we must welcome and support this initiative.
No mention of the hundreds of thousands (at a conservative estimate) of people killed, the millions of people displaced from their homes, the people's natural resources being stolen or sold off for prices nowhere near their worth, destruction of many historical artifacts and religious sites, total breakdown in civil society, occupation by numerous invading forces and civil administrators who dictate what the government, military and civil institutions must do, the murder of many Iraqi civilians by US/UK and other forces, the construction of military bases and administration centres from which the invading forces will attempt to dominate the region for many years to come, cronyism and corruption on a massive scale with regard to tenders awarded to ‘reconstruct’ Iraq. All this is ongoing and is planned to continue for a long time.
Do you consider this at all? If you’re going to talk about the positives you perceive to be visible in the mess that Iraq has been made into, then at least consider all of the facts.
I hope they visit the Raytheon Factory where they build bomb parts used for killing the Iraqi civilians, a fact they choose to ignore.
Thet should take a trip south to visit the US Airbase formerly known as Shannon civilian airport, where they've brought through all the manpower and weaponry to carry out their slaughter of a million or so people on the 'assurances' of those whomb have told the greatest lies this world has ever been told that nothing is on the planes. Empty planes just flying about the place ....The irony here would make any sane person sick.
