From January 27th, 2025;

"Hindu nationalism, misogyny and the ‘manosphere’ have been identified as breeding grounds for extremism in a leaked report commissioned by Yvette Cooper after last summer’s riots.”

"The report, which was leaked to the right-leaning thinktank Policy Exchange, comes amid deepening scrutiny of the government’s approach to extremism. On Sunday, it emerged that counter-terrorism officers did not believe the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was ‘in danger of being radicalised’.”

From January 25th, 2025;

"Counter-terrorism officers did not believe Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was ‘in danger of being radicalised’, leaks from a Home Office report have revealed.

The Prevent learning review will criticise counter-terrorism officers for failing to properly take into account Rudakubana’s obsession with extreme violence when it is released, the Sunday Times has reported.”

The warnings are always there.

STRICTER LAWS! That’ll solve it! 🤪

“The entrepreneur behind the venture is Peter Karl Jugl, who according to news weekly Der Spiegel has past links to far-right figures.”

"Jugl bought the tunnel site in 2019 from an insolvency administrator after it had previously served as a munitions depot for the communist East German state.”

"As the controversy flares, Jugl has offered the state of Saxony-Anhalt the chance to buy the tunnels back.

His asking price, according to multiple sources, is eight million euros -- far beyond the 1.3 million euros he paid for it.”

“Joe Mulhall, the author of Rebel Sounds and director of research at the anti-racism organisation Hope Not Hate, said: “Sadly, it feels like we are going backwards.”

Mulhall held an event at a secret location last Sunday night after a pub cancelled what was intended to be an evening of discussion and music about the book.”

"Another bookshop that cancelled a few weeks ago after receiving threats has now pulled out of plans to restage the event in December after getting new threats immediately after it was listed online.”

“Hanif Kureishi, Billy Bragg and freedom of speech groups have voiced alarm after a number of venues cancelled events to promote a book by an anti-racism campaigner amid threats and fears that the recent riots have emboldened the far right.

An east London bookshop this week became the latest venue to pull plans to promote [a book]”

"It follows the scrapping of similar events at bookshops and pubs over the last few weeks, and the cancellation by the BFI London film festival (LFF) last month of a screening of a documentary about the far right.”

“One of the primary individuals involved in Canada's trucker protests in 2022 was found guilty on Friday for his role in the obstruction.

Pat King was convicted on five counts including mischief and disobeying a court order.

The self-proclaimed ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers and protesters traveled to the capital city, Ottawa, in early 2022 to express their anger at government rules intended to limit the spread of COVID-19.”

"Acquitted of more serious charges, he smiled at his supporters in the courtroom as the judge read the verdict.”

“The Texas board of education voted 8-7 on Friday to approve a new Bible-based curriculum in elementary schools.

The curriculum, called ‘Bluebonnet Learning’, could be implemented as soon as August 2025 and affects English and language arts teaching material for kindergarten through fifth grade public school classes.

Teachers will have a choice to opt into the new faith-based learning curriculum, but the state is offering a financial incentive of $60 a student for participating school districts.”

They’ll make it mandatory later, of course.

Meanwhile, here in the Netherlands;

“Foreign workers who come to the Netherlands to do low-skilled work and then lose their jobs should return home to be treated for non-urgent health conditions, health minister Fleur Agema has told current affairs show Zembla.”

She basically wants healthcare professionals to send the people who have already lost housing back home if they don't 'look sick’, which is just another way of discouraging discarded workers to stay here 😒

“Since August there has been a concerted effort to legitimise the violence of the summer. We show how it has happened.”

"In late July and early August, mobs across the country descended on sites of temporary migrant accommodation – some of which were subjected to vandalism and attempted arson – and fought with police, chanted racist slogans, targeted mosques and engaged in bouts of mindless destruction and looting.”

As expected, it got framed as 'concerned citizens’ venting their ‘legitimate anger’ against 'disconnected elites’. Familiar, no?

“With only two months left until Donald Trump returns to the White House, the president-elect and convicted felon has been waging lawfare by a flurry of lawsuits against media companies and publishers that have been critical of him.”

“On Thursday, Columbia Journalism Review revealed that just days before the presidential election, Trump’s lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik issued a letter to the New York Times and Penguin Random House that demanded $10bn in damages over articles critical of Trump.”

All that both sides sure worked out great, huh?

“Many postmortems of last week’s election have tried to preserve the notion that Trump’s voter’s did not endorse him and his vision – that they know not what they do. This is dishonest, and a bit patronizing toward Trump’s supporters.

Trump’s voters, for the most part, know exactly what he is, and what voting for him means. They are not ignorant or mistaken about him. They endorse him and what he is.”

Also, ‘your body, my choice’ is a rape threat, plain and simple, and should be dealt with as such.

“The right-wing populist party Motorists for Themselves, part of the Patriots for Europe group, has made significant gains, according to new polling data published by the Median agency.”

“This rise in the polls follows the Motorists' remarkable performance in the European Parliament elections in June. They ran in coalition with the right-wing Oath party and came third with 10.26% of the vote, securing two seats in the European Parliament.”

“Florida’s department of education has released a list of more than 700 books that were ‘removed or discontinued’ from schools across the state after changes to a state law last year that allows parents and residents to challenge the content of library books.

This year’s list, which has doubled in size from last year, includes titles such as Beloved by Toni Morrison, Normal People by Sally Rooney, and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.”
