Britons cool on America and the ‘special relationship’

More than two in five voters think Britain is too close to the United States and should distance itself from the “special relationship”, polling for The Times has found.

The YouGov survey found that the number of people who thought the UK was too close to the US had risen by nine percentage points to 43 per cent since April last year, the last time the question was asked.

Only 18 per cent believed that the UK should get closer to the US and 29 per cent said the relationship now was about right. Ten per cent said they did not know.

Why Europe Needs Gatekeepers — Danube Institute Unveils Migration Documentary

Premiered in Budapest, the Danube Institute’s first-ever documentary, Future at the Gate, presents a stark message about Europe’s migration divide, centred on its ‘gatekeepers’.

Why is this alleged Toronto hit man being extradited to the U.S. over a Canadian murder? Defence presses court over Ryan Wedding co-accused

Why is this alleged Toronto hit man being extradited to the U.S. over a Canadian murder? Defence presses court over Ryan Wedding co-accused

A lawyer for a small-time Toronto criminal facing extradition to the U.S. for allegedly murdering an enemy of Ryan Wedding’s cocaine empire is asking the Attorney General of Canada to disclose key evidence behind what he says is an entirely made-in-Canada investigation.

The defence request on Thursday casts a spotlight on a question that’s been at the forefront of other Ontario court proceedings in the sprawling FBI-led case: Why would someone like Malik Cunningham be extradited to the U.S. over an alleged offence against a Canadian victim that happened on Canadian soil — and was investigated by Canadian authorities?


No need to go Elbows Up over a criminal is there?

A left-wing outlet says that immigrant sexual assaults are a good thing

A left-wing outlet says that immigrant sexual assaults are a good thing

I thought I was watching a hoax come to life when I saw the tweets show up on my X feed. Conservative commentators were sharing an image. At the top was a large black-and-white photograph of an endless line of African and Middle Eastern men (and one lone woman). The setting, clearly, is Europe. At the bottom left of the photograph, in a little yellow button, is the word “love.” And underneath is this headline: “Why a ‘rise in sexual assaults’ by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism.”

Canada’s Epidemic of Failed Fentanyl Prosecutions Contributes to Mounting Death Tolls

Canada’s Epidemic of Failed Fentanyl Prosecutions Contributes to Mounting Death Tolls

OTTAWA – More than 55,000 Canadians have died from opioid overdoses since national surveillance began in 2016. More than 7,000 died in 2022 alone. British Columbia has been in a declared public health emergency since 2016. The fentanyl death epidemic — driven by an alliance between Chinese Communist Party-connected chemical producers and Triads, Mexican cartels, and Snow Cartel proxies like the Wolfpack Alliance and Ryan Wedding — exploded from the epicenter of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in 2012. Fourteen years on, the toll continues to mount. South of the border, in the world’s largest consumer drug market, nearly 1.3 million Americans have died from drug overdoses since 1999 — mostly fed by cartel trafficking and drug lab networks operating in Mexico, but increasingly in recent years by production networks rooted in Canada.

Absurdly Evil: Georgetown Prof Jonathan A. C. Brown

Absurdly Evil: Georgetown Prof Jonathan A. C. Brown

Jonathan A. C. Brown, a professor at Georgetown University, has deleted his X account after sparking a firestorm by expressing his contempt and disdain for the victims of the Muslim rape gangs who (with willing aid from leftists) destroyed the lives of a generation of British girls. That’s good, as Brown has nothing of value to say to anyone on any topic, but it leaves untouched the larger question: why is this thoroughly distasteful individual, who has previously justified Islamic slavery and rape, a professor at a major American university?
