Only 20% of Muslim Americans Voted for Kamala Harris Thu Dec 12, 2024 13:30 | Noah Carl
Just 20% of Muslim Americans voted for Kamala Harris ? fewer than voted for Donald Trump! The reason Muslims are abandoning the centre-Left is clear, says Noah Carl: they want parties that don't back Israel.

Greta Thunberg?s Descent from Climate Darling to Militant Pro-Palestine Activist Thu Dec 12, 2024 11:43 | Will Jones
Not long ago, anyone criticising St Greta was labelled a bully. Her expertise in climate science was beyond question, despite leaving school at 14. Now, it looks like the heretics were right and the worshippers were fools.

We never talk about the costs of not tackling climate change, claims new Climate Change Committee CEO Emma Pinchbeck. On the contrary, says Ben Pile, media scare stories of impending doom are all we ever hear about.

Best of luck with your endeavour re a plaque for the victims of that massacre on the quays in Dublin in 1914 - I gave it a mention in a recent blog post (see the 'Related Link' , below) : 'The Brits were by now near breaking-point ; they were more accustomed to being feared or, at best , ignored , by the public , and were seething with rage now that they were being laughed at by them . An Officer in charge felt the same, and he ordered one line of his men (approximately twenty soldiers) to halt and turn to face the jeering crowd ; when the soldiers had done as commanded , he instructed them to "ready weapons" and fire on the crowd , if he so ordered. It is not clear whether the order to fire was given or not but , regardless , the Brits did open fire - the people on the footpaths - men , women and children - were easy targets....'
Again, JHM, best of luck with the fundraiser.
Thanks,
Sharon.
