How Glastonbury became a playpen for the turbo-smug and talentless

For once I am grateful for Glastonbury. For on this gloriously sunny weekend they’ve done us normal Brits a solid by huddling together on Worthy Farm every pompous tit in the land. Gary Stevenson’s there, with his mockney bollocks about capitalism. And lunatic boob-expander Zack Polanski. The cunning stunts of Led by Donkeys too, natch – those Brewdog ballbags have not once spied a gathering of moneyed white people that they haven’t wanted to titillate with such daring fare as ‘Tories are bad’.

I don’t know who this is…

Ontario ends legal battle to avoid covering surgery for non-binary resident who wants a vagina while keeping a penis

A non-binary Ontario resident’s years-long battle for a publicly funded, out-of-country surgery to have a vagina surgically created while maintaining a penis is over.

The Ontario government says it won’t ask the Supreme Court of Canada to review a lower court’s ruling in April declaring that the novel phallus-preserving surgery qualifies as an insured service under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) — the latest win for the patient, identified only as K.S.

Trans student, 19, who ‘torched two Tesla Cybertrucks’ faces HUGE sentence thanks to Trump’s AG Pam Bondi

A transgender teenager accused of firebombing two Tesla Cybertrucks faces spending the remainder of his youth behind bars thanks to very harsh federal charges.

Owen McIntire, 19, is staring down 30 years in prison for the March 17 Molotov cocktail attack on two of the EVs at a Tesla dealership in his native Kansas City.

The teen, who was receiving so-called gender-affirming care at the time of the attacks, has denied federal charges of malicious destruction of property and unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Hostin: Trump Angry at Media Because He Wants ‘State-Sponsored’ TV

Once again, the liberal ladies of The View have proven that they were more interested in pushing anti-Trump hysteria than engaging in honest political discourse. On Thursday’s show, the ABC daytime panel went beyond their usual whining and delved headfirst into conspiracy theory territory, suggesting that President Trump’s statements about the success of the U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, and calling out CNN for false reporting, was evidence that he wants to impose state-run media, like China and Russia.

Yes, seriously.

Beaver activists claim they are ‘doing God’s work’

Under cover of darkness, a nocturnal creature emerges from a crate and takes its first tentative steps into a new life in the wild.

He is part of an underground network where members risk arrest, jail and hefty fines by carrying out covert and unlicensed releases of beavers.

This Ukrainian immigrant got loans from Canada and Ontario to start a meat plant here. Now, Ottawa says he’s inadmissible

In 2019, Oleksandr Zahrebelnyn came to Canada from Ukraine on a work permit and opened a meat processing plant in North Bay with the financial backing of the Canadian and Ontario governments.

The entrepreneur has spent more than six years in the country, receiving multiple renewals of his visas and work authorization. But now immigration officials have told him that he and his family should be barred from Canada because he had previously worked for the main Ukrainian security agency.

Considering accessory to manslaughter? Don’t worry, you’ll get to keep your gym membership

Grok’s interpretations are often  mysterious

An Ontario court justice has sent a strong message to criminal thugs all across the province who might find themselves in a scenario where they could help a friend evade justice: Go ahead. You won’t necessarily go to jail. In fact, you might be able to keep your gym membership.

In July, 2023, in the Leslieville area of Toronto, Khalila Mohammed helped a man involved in a fatal shooting of a bystander escape the scene and hide out from authorities. Ms. Mohammed, who was 23 years old at the time, worked as a harm-reduction worker at the supervised-consumption site near where the daytime shooting took place. Karolina Huebner-Makurat, a mother of two who lived in the area, was hit and killed by a stray bullet.
