Proving the adage about stopped clocks, it was Noam Chomsky who said, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all”. I don’t like Chomsky, but I believe in his right to say even the horrendous things
The rise to power of the worst dictators of modern history was too often abetted by the weakness or connivance of police forces. In Italy, the weakness of its police forces meant that they were easily browbeaten by the Fascists (where they didn’t willfully co-operate). Similarly, in Weimar
As BFD readers, a better-informed bunch than consumers of mainstream media, will be aware, protests by farmers and their supporters are rocking Europe, from Poland to Paris, Antwerp to Athens. While the grievances of the farmers are as diverse as Europe, there are a couple of common threads. One
If solar panels were ever going to replace fossil fuels, they would have done so long ago. After all, they’re not exactly an emerging technology. Solar panels have been around for over half a century, which is plenty of time for the tech to mature and become cheap. Yet,

Prince William asking for a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel is a load of absolute uninformed woke rubbish. There is no way a stand-alone cease-fire could ever last with Hamas. Remember Hamas attacked, killed, raped, tortured and beheaded many of those 1400 Jews on October 7th then

It may be a bit soon to smile at his obituary, but for now I’ll just enjoy a hearty guffaw at his sickbed. Oh dear, how sad: Yahya Sinwar is very, very ill. Pass me my tiniest violin, Jeeves, and here’s to a shortage of antibiotics. Yahya Sinwar,
Various studies have indicated that people on the left are far more intolerant of different opinions than the right. In fact, Pew research has shown that self-described “liberals” are twice as likely to block and unfriend someone on social media, because they expressed an opinion the “liberal” didn’t
Get ready for an epic media and left-political meltdown over so-called “Nazi” and “White Supremacist” truckers. A year after rocking Canada and prompting a shockingly authoritarian crackdown by the Trudeau goverment and its media bootlickers, trucker protests may be about to bite into the Big Apple. At issue

The person who leaked the tobacco tax information has been sacked from the Ministry of Health. This should be a salient lesson to anyone contemplating leaking: there is a new Government and they take this stuff seriously; if you leak, you’ll be sacked. The Ministry of Health says a

His entire term to date has not just been about lighting fires of his own (the Brittany Higgins affair, the Voice referendum), but running around, clucking and squawking, as spot fires erupt all around him.
