Climate ?Science? is Now Pure Politics Wed Oct 15, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
The appointment of Imperial's Dr Friederike Otto to the IPCC shows that climate 'science' is now pure politics, says Ben Pile. Unable to produce actual evidence of 'extreme' weather, they resort to 'attribution studies'.

Britain?s De Facto Blasphemy Laws Have Been Decades in the Making Tue Oct 14, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
The overturning of Hamit Coskun's conviction for burning a Quran shows Britain doesn't have blasphemy laws. But in truth a fear of violent reprisals has created a de facto blasphemy law for decades, says Clarissa Hard.

Hamburg ? Germany's leading industrial city ? has just committed to deindustrialise completely in 15 years after a referendum on Net Zero by 2040 passed with 53.2% of the vote. This is utter insanity, says Eugyppius.

Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1The Australian news program Dateline has aired video of US soldiers burning the bodies of Taliban dead, with the bodies facing Mecca. Such an action is deeply offensive to Muslims, who believe that a body must be buried within 24 hours of death.
The video by photojournalist Stephen Dupont also shows US troops broadcasting a message taunting Taliban supporters in a nearby village:
According to an SBS [network] translation of the message, delivered in the local language, the soldiers accused Taliban fighters near Kandahar of being "cowardly dogs". "You allowed your fighters to be laid down facing west and burnt. You are too scared to retrieve their bodies. This just proves you are the lady boys we always believed you to be," the message reportedly said.
...
The caption on the image is what one of the soldiers was saying as he watched the bodies burn.
I hope all troops make it safely home tothe US. Ireland hopes a safe return for you all. Ill advised and ill judged, you have paid the price enough. Safe home and take care.
Ireland is with you
Translated from an article in La Repubblica, by Mary Rizzo the same journalist as above...
But how will the terrorists slaughter every man,woman and child if they go home??
Theyve definitely killed enough already,not to mention crippling the economy,appointing a new government of their choice and causing the breakout of civil war.
Hurrah for liberation!
That's right, bring the troops home.
Let the terrorists slaughter every man, woman and child. Let the murderers return Abu Ghraib to the abbatoir it was under Saddam. That way Bush will never win another term.
bring the troops home
