Can anyone confirm, is Mark Steyn returning to GB News when he has recovered from his medical crisis? That was my impression. A sad loss if not. Jabba jabba jabba jabba…
Asked the same question a day or so ago. No one seems to know. It would be a huge loss since Farage and Fox are just not the same. Thank god they still have Neil Oliver though.
Agree Aethelred. Neil Oliver is a much needed man in these dark times. Genuinely a man worthy of great respect.
As I’ve posted elsewhere, stuff your Freudian newspeak.
At least she managed to get in the holy trinity of woke. Three words so overused and corrupted that now mean almost nothing.
Much like “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE)”. The most heavily abused words in the entire Newspeak language!
“Alan Cumming returns OBE over ‘toxicity’ of British Empire”
Shame, I quite like Alan as an actor. He can do what his conscience tells him, but its a bit misguided, imo.
I feel the same. I particularly remember him for the short-lived but brilliant TV airline comedy ‘The High Life’ which he co-wrote back in 1994, appearing as Sebastian Flight alongside the indomitable Shona (Siobhan Redmond). Some classic lines live on:-
Shona: Can I be blunt?
Sebastian: If I can be Philby…
I loved it as well…..I agree Shona Spurtle was a fantastic character….and who can forget the bosses daughter…Aurora Borealis?..
…and their Eurovision song entry……Piff Paff Poff? LOL!
It says a lot that all these years later..and with only a few episodes I remember it with such fondness!
My view – so what?
And I’ve never heard of this Cumming chap.
“Matt Hancock gave three per cent of I’m a Celebrity fee to charity”
Industrial level charity is first and foremost about preserving the organisation. I do sometime wonder as the lady with the sad voice is telling us about the world saying goodbye to elephants, or whatever, just how many £3 a month do they need for their expensively produced TV advertising and in the case of the World Wildlife Fund, the CEO’s $400k a year salary. Anyway, I hope Matt enjoys his fabulous holiday and driving his new Mercedes Benz, and hope that dyslexic people everywhere can share in that joy. As indeed can all the little old ladies who gave from their pensions in the mistaken belief they were doing some good for folks in need..
But at least we know he’s got the cash for his case with Brigden!
“Industrial level charity is first and foremost about preserving the organisation.”
Agree 100%.
Cancer Research UK – income £650 mill per annum and of that order for years and yet allegedly there is still no cure for cancer. Actually I believe cures have been found but Pharma won’t release them, bottom line and all that.
British Heart Foundation – income in the millions with the head wonk paid more than the ‘official’ salary of the PM, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? The BHF, which has been wholly complicit in supporting the Scamdemic story line, even to the point of telling people suffering from heart disease to wear masks.
BHF, still supporting statins.
BHF – Bloody Hopeless Frauds.
Supporting charities is a mugs game and is effectively a tax on the gullible.
“Former spokeswoman for Extinction Rebellion turns on group:
One at a time…
These silly people have been doing this kind of stuff since the 1960s. Have we learnt nothing?
‘At my first XR media training, I was instructed to cry on television. “People need to see crying mothers,”
‘We had constant problems with people not cleaning up after themselves’
Roger (Hallam), 56, an organic-farmer-turned-radical, is XR’s most dominant leader……In 2018, Roger founded XR with several people, but his ego propelled him to the top. When I first saw Roger in the XR office in London, I didn’t see his appeal. His wiry gray hair was unkempt……I noticed he didn’t pay attention to people when they talked.
I’d often be asked by reporters if XR was a cult, and I’d say no. But it was.
It’s not just Roger Hallam who inspires terror and devotion among his climate-change flock. Those qualities typify the climate change movement.’

So this is messing with my mind. I remember watching this on the telly. Apparently the 7 crew members of NASA’s Challenger didn’t die in the explosion and have been spotted alive today. Or their doppelgangers have…you decide. I stopped watching though when he went off on one about the occult and 666…
https://newspunch.com/nasa-challenger-disaster-crew-members-found-alive-in-2023/
Old story, been knocking around for years. Nice review here, less sensationalist than newspunch:
https://rumble.com/v1vq57u-nasa-1986-shuttle-challenger-crew-theory.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=5
Ah right. It just popped up on a Telegram channel. I don’t usually follow stuff like this, but I did think a few of the people shown looked very similar to crew members 3 decades on.
I call those people fair weather libertarians. Happy with the principle, until it affects them.
Another chink in the dam? Not the strongest signal, but a bit of an admission?

A California Judge has issued a preliminary injunction against a State Law that would empower the California State Medical Board to discipline Doctors who support opinions about Covid-19 which go against the ‘consensus’…..
Blimey. A brave judge too, especially in California.
“Petition: Investigate U.K. excess deaths not related to Covid.”. Petitions. Talking. Lots of talking. Standing at roundabouts. Walking around London with banners. Moaning in a multitude of ways, but always asking nicely. They didn’t ask; they took. They locked us all up and coerced people into taking an experimental product they didn’t need with the promise of freedom. Freedom from the prison they placed us in They turned friends and family against each other. They incited the worst kind of hate imaginable. They wanted/want us dead. Our response? Sign a petition. Vote for another party. Ask nicely within the system they have shepherded us into. What is it that people don’t understand? The system is f*cked, it’s evil, and there is only one way to correct it. Cromwell is a a divisive character, but he understood you cannot enact change by standing around in a park.
“Libertarians for the Covid State” – Why did some libertarians enthusiastically endorse the lockdown, mandatory masking and the vaccine mandates? Paul Collits investigates
I’m surprised he didn’t give a dishonorable mention to Christopher Snowdon, who supported the UK’s third lockdown even as he (somehwhat meekly) opposed the first two. And he also shilled a bit for the jabs as well.
So Reading football team are wearing a kit which apparently shows how the earth is warming from 1850- in blue to red bands along their arms, designed by some climate ‘scientist’ from reading university. Naturally ( a bit like the BBC weather reports) they have dramatic pink/red colours close to their wrists. To some how cause the football audience to recoil in their seats and adopt some psuedo net zero nonsense stance. Lee Dixon even had the temerity to say ‘ it’s worrying that’. What the colour of their kits changing? Do one Lee and shame on you ITV for actually broadcasting this b&&locks. Show me the evidence for a climate crisis……
