Take a look at this leaflet, distributed by the University and College Union (UCU) recently as part of its ongoing phoney war with universities over, well, having the moon on a stick.

Read MoreJustin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has stuck his nose into the campus-censorship debate.
After a speech to the Board of Deputies of British Jews last week, Welby was asked what could be done to curb prejudice in universities. He replied that any universities allowing students to be ‘abused, insulted and excluded’ should have their funding cut. He said that this kind of behaviour was unacceptable, ‘whether it’s [against] Jewish people, Jewish societies [or] whether it’s [against] trans people’.
This was a bizarre comparison to have made. Jewish students face real discrimination on UK campuses. Meanwhile, trans students are occasionally asked to listen to gender-critical perspectives. These are not the same thing. This comparison draws a false equivalence between racist behaviour and un-PC speech

Read MoreThe school summer holidays are nearly upon us. This used to mean children spending large parts of July and August playing outside with their friends. But no more it seems. According to a 2022 Save the Children report, over half (51 per cent) of British kids report playing outside with their friends less than they used to before the pandemic, and over a third (34 per cent) now spend most of their playtime alone.

Read MoreThis May I taught a summer course called “Technology and Freedom.” We read many of the usual suspects, including some great Christian critics of technology like Ivan Illich and Jacques Ellul. But the course wasn’t really about ideas.
Informally we called it “the tech-free dorm course.” The students spent the entire month living together in one of the campus apartments, where they went “tech-free.” They traded their smartphones for cheap flip phones. They had no screens of any kind—no Netflix, no TV, no video games. They did all their coursework with pen and paper. When we met to discuss the course texts, their talk was full of close reflection on the bedeviling details of actual experience.

Read MoreI hear it all the time. From Physicians, “How can you say viruses don’t exist? I treat people with viral illness all the time.” Or from patients, “My whole family got really sick—so there must be viruses!”
Let’s be clear. There is disease, as in “Dis-Ease”. People get sick and some die of the sickness. And I can admit to the ability of harvesting tissue from one animal and injecting it into another species and causing disease– as Judy Mikovits describes it—“infection by injection”. But that does not prove the existence of invisible, sub-microscopic unicorns that fly from one person’s nose to another as the CAUSE of that disease. It is the unproven notion of airborne viral illness that has enslaved humanity to the corrupt medical cartel. What better psychological wedge can be implemented against humanity than making people afraid of invisible emanations from other people?
There are multiple lines of evidence to dispute the classic viral disease paradigm, including historical records, biological evidence (or lack thereof) and clinical “experiments”. In this article I will discuss the largest clinical case study of all time—the 1918 worldwide influenza outbreak.

Read MoreThe New Brunswick mother behind a campaign supporting Premier Blaine Higgs says if a leadership review were to happen, Higgs would come out victorious with the support of parents given the popularity of his parental rights policy.
