Bible verse on pastor’s campervan ‘could be hate speech’

A church leader has claimed the police warned him that that Bible verses on the back of his campervan could be considered “hate speech”.

Mick Fleming, 59, said he was approached by a police officer who commented on his campervan while he was at a petrol station in Burnley, on Oct 27.

Mr Fleming, who recently gave up all of his belongings and now lives in a van, has the Bible verse John 3:16 emblazoned on the back of it.

Pub seen in Reform video told to paint over St George’s Cross

A Lib Dem council demanded a pub remove its St George’s Cross painted on its white exterior an hour after it was featured in a Reform UK promotional video.

Jerry Kunkler, the landlord of Moonrakers Inn in Pewsey, Wiltshire, since 1981 and the county’s longest-serving councillor, painted the current cross on the pub for the World Cup in 2022.

However, he received orders to paint over it almost immediately after it was seen as a backdrop in a Reform video.

‘This is disgusting’: N.S. Premier slams judge’s order prohibiting poppies while on duty

Nova Scotia’s premier is slamming a recent order prohibiting workers in certain court facilities from wearing poppies while on duty.

In a post on his X account, Premier Tim Houston said the order was issued under the guise that the poppy is a political statement.

“This is disgusting,” he said. “The poppy is not a political statement. It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country. Poppies have been worn in Canada since 1921.”

Canada’s Low-Scrutiny Immigrant Mortgages Rebrand Risk As Inclusion

Canada’s recent real estate boom—and bust—was followed by an immigration surge charting a similar trajectory. Together, they expose generous high-leverage mortgage programs that shift risk off lender books and onto public and private insurers. These programs enabled buyers with minimal credit and few local ties to purchase homes at peak prices. With values now plunging, the lack of transparency raises questions about how these will perform—and whether the loans amplify the market’s downside risks.
