Netflix shares slumped again Friday as they ended the week with their biggest decline since April 4. The slide comes on the back of subscriber desertion driven by revulsion at trans content aimed at children.

Mourners banned from leaving flowers on graves over health and safety
A cemetery banned mourning families from leaving mementoes on graves after a “health and safety” assessment.
Plot owners at St Michael’s Church in Knights Enham, Hampshire, were “disgusted” to find notices warning that any items left on graves would be removed after a month.
A letter was left on every headstone in the graveyard on behalf of the Andover parish council, which claimed the policy was introduced to protect “the safety of the graveyard”.

Jamie Sarkonak: The criminals who get past Canadian visa screening with ease
Canada’s immigration laws are so self-sabotaging that it takes years to deport actual registered child sex offenders who should have never been let into the country in the first place. If we’re struggling to put even these guys on a plane home, we’re in serious trouble.
We know this because a Pakistani national Gullfam Hussain, who omitted his 2017 criminal conviction and three-year jail stint in the U.K. for “Adult sexual activity with a female child family member 13 to 17 — offender over 18 — penetration,” has been fighting his deportation for two years now. Most recently, he tried to have the Federal Court cancel his deportation to Pakistan for safety reasons, which failed.

NHS doctor who made throat slit gestures to Jews escapes suspension
A junior doctor who made a “slit your throat” gesture to Jewish protesters escaped suspension after a tribunal found that she had a “right to freedom of expression”.
Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, who is training to be a trauma and orthopaedic surgeon, has been allowed to continue working for the NHS after a panel of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service said that its duty to protect members of the public “must be balanced with the doctor’s right to freedom of expression” under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Another Archbishop of Woke
Prior to Friday, the Church of England was without a leader for nearly a year. In the not-so-distant past, this would have been as unimaginable as the UK being without a prime minister. And yet, in a sign of the church’s growing moral and cultural irrelevance, the long absence of an Archbishop of Canterbury elicited little public commentary or concern.

‘I was called an enemy of the people’: how the US Senate went to war with the biggest rock stars of the 1980s
‘I was called an enemy of the people’: how the US Senate went to war with the biggest rock stars of the 1980s Forty years ago Prince, Madonna and Judas Priest were among stars dubbed the ‘Filthy Fifteen’ in a high-profile parents’ campaign against ‘objectionable’ music. Some of those artists, and supporters like Alice Cooper, recall a major moral panic
Prince’s Purple Rain album had been bought by 11 million Americans by May 1985. One of them was 11-year-old Karenna Gore. Back home, Karenna’s mother was shocked to hear Prince sing, on the album’s fifth track Darling Nikki: “I knew a girl named Nikki / I guess you could say she was a sex fiend / I met her in a hotel lobby/ masturbating with a magazine.”
“I couldn’t believe my ears,” said Karenna’s mother, Tipper Gore. “The vulgar lyrics embarrassed both of us. At first, I was stunned – then I got mad!”
