Another reason to hate Macron.

This is Emmanuel Macron’s last summer as French president, and he does seem to be fed-up with the whole governing thing.

What other factor – besides him being an out-of-touch Globalist – can explain the fact that he chose to party in the Riviera while France battles massive wildfires and the angry firefighters have just called for a strike?

And, as if that was not enough, ‘le petit-Roi’ had his image splashed on the cover of a glossy magazine riding a jet-ski like he didn’t have a care in the world.

The Telegraph reported:

“The 48-year-old French president was criticized by opposition politicians on Friday after photos from his holiday appeared on the front page of the celebrity magazine Paris Match.

France is experiencing some of the worst forest fires in its history amid near-constant heatwaves.

Pierre Ouzoulias, the communist senator, told Europe 1 that Mr. Macron’s behavior was ‘indecent’, adding: ‘Personally, I would have preferred to see him in a fire truck, helping firefighters put out the blaze. That is where he belonged’.”

Insider Paper reported:

“’Last summer at the controls’, Paris Match said on its cover, referring to Macron’s departure from the Elysee palace next year when his second and final term ends.

The magazine also featured photographs of Macron engaging in water sports such as foil surfing, during a summer marked by successive heatwaves and deadly fires in France.

A member of Macron’s entourage said that the photos were not authorised.

‘There have been unauthorised photos of the president every year for the past nine years’, the aide said.”

Somebody need to exp-lain to Macron’s team that the photos are not the outrageous part – the vacations are.

A Swiss politician is seeking to overhaul the nation’s exceptionally lenient identity change protocol after a controversy broke out at a women’s nudist zone. Zurich National Councillor Nina Fehr Düsel has announced she is planning on submitting a motion to abolish simple gender changes in the upcoming autumn session.

On August 10, Fehr Düsel, who represents the Swiss People’s Party, published a statement condemning the nation’s overly-simplistic gender identity change process, which became law in 2022. Since then, Swiss citizens have been able to pay a nominal fee, the equivalent of less than $100 USD, and instantly change their name and sex marker at any registry office.

“This procedure used to be more complicated. The hurdles were deliberately high. Today, the gender change in the civil status register is far too easy. What was sold to us at the time as liberal progress leads in practice to problems that affect us all. A large part of the population also sees this,” Fehr Düsel wrote. “The consequences are becoming more and more obvious. Women’s spaces have come under pressure.”

In her statement, Fehr Düsel references a recent incident at Bern’s Marzilibad. famous outdoor swimming and riverside bathing area at the Aare River. Marzilibad has a designated, segregated nude area called the “Paradiesli” which is only open to women.

In June, a controversy erupted after a male claiming to be transgender entered the nude area and caused discomfort amongst the female sunbathers.

The man, who was described as having a beard, back hair, and penis, was confronted by multiple patrons who asked him to leave. He claimed he had a right to use the area because of he identified as a woman.

Female sunbathers then escalated their concerns to the park’s security, which called the regional police after the man continued to refuse to leave. Police arrived and attempted to check the man’s ID for evidence he was “legally” a woman, but the man would not provide it. He was then arrested.

According to local reports, some pro-trans patrons attempted to defend the man and assaulted a female police officer during the arrest. The officer sustained minor injuries as a result.

The man was brought to the regional police station where his ID was checked and it was confirmed that he had changed his legal sex marker. He was released shortly after, at which point a local Antifa faction in Bern staged an impromptu “solidarity rally” on his behalf.

The city later issued an apology to the trans-identified male, concluding that he had been “improperly removed” from the women’s area.

“All people who identify themselves as women and live as such have access to the voluntary nudist area Paradiesli,” the city wrote in a statement.

Fehr Düsel highlighted the bizarre situation in her August 10 statement.

“The incident in Bern’s Marzilibad has shown where [gender] policy is leading: A trans woman – a biological man – was in the naked area of the women’s zone. Many women felt harassed by this. The trans woman did not want to identify herself, nor would she follow the instructions of the staff or the police,” Fehr Düsel wrote. “Such conflicts are not a coincidence, but the direct consequence of absurd legislation that simply hides biological facts.”

Fehr Düsel continued: “Women’s rights must again be consistently protected – in changing rooms, on toilets or specific women’s areas. Today’s regulation is a mistake. The 2022 change in the law must be reversed. The SVP will work for this in the coming session. Switzerland finally needs more reason instead of gender ideology.”

France is facing a female genital mutilation (FGM) crisis brought on by mass immigration, warns Mathilda Silva of Collectif Némésis, and in those neighborhoods with the most diversity, the most women are facing the consequences of this brutal practice.

“This morning, I saw a graphic from an association that is absolutely revolting, in which it was written that 1 in 10 women in Seine-Saint-Denis is a victim of female genital mutilation. I don’t know if we realize this madness,” said Silva.

🇫🇷🔴France's female genital mutilation (FGM) crisis is a crisis of mass immigration.

In the most multicultural district of Paris, locals even take their daughters on vacation to their home country to partake in the barbaric practice.

Official data from the MSF-PREVAL pilot study, conducted in 2021 across health facilities and reported by Santé publique France, places the figure at approximately 7.2 percent among women aged 18 to 45 in the Seine-Saint-Denis department—roughly one in 14. This equates to an estimated 22,500 adult women. However, the study indicates that the upper bounds of this number could reach as high as 10 percent, which far exceeding rates in other French departments – around 1 percent in the Rhône and under 1 percent in the Alpes-Maritimes.

Nationally, estimates range from 125,000 to about 139,000 women living with the consequences of FGM.

Silva details that the practice is illegal in France but residents have a way of circumventing this restriction by traveling back to their home countries.

“The process for this is always about the same: parents take their young girl on vacation to their country of origin. So the countries that practice this the most are Sub-Saharan African countries. How strange. And in fact, when the little girls come back, well, they have undergone mutilation,” she warned.

This trend is not unique to France either. In 2023, a girl living in Sweden revealed how she was subjected to female genital mutilation when her parents brought her on a family holiday to Egypt.

Research confirms that high-risk country origins in Seine-Saint-Denis center on African countries such as Mali, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Guinea. About 24 percent of women surveyed in the department came from such countries, and among them the prevalence reached around 30 percent. Risk drops sharply for those born in France after the mid-1990s, yet cases persist of girls raised in France being taken abroad during holidays for the procedure.

French law is unambiguous. Female genital mutilation is illegal, classified as a serious crime. Silva underscores the human cost.

“I obviously remind you that female genital mutilation is completely illegal in France, that it is an abominable torture, that it is often performed under absolutely deplorable hygienic conditions, that there are women who lose their lives, and above all, these women are traumatized for the rest of their lives by what they experienced.”

Medical literature and survivor accounts detail immediate dangers—severe bleeding, infection, shock—and lifelong effects including chronic pain, complications in childbirth, sexual dysfunction, and profound psychological trauma. Specialized units, such as the one established in 2017 at the André-Grégoire hospital in Montreuil, now provide reconstructive surgery, psychological support, and sexological care to hundreds of women each year. Local maternity data from the same hospital has recorded FGM in about 13 percent of births.

Silva reserves particular criticism for local leadership. “And it’s funny because the mayor of Saint-Denis –so, the largest city in Seine-Saint-Denis – Bally Bagayoko, who has been omnipresent in the media since his election, hasn’t had a single word for these mutilated girls. Yet, this is something that particularly affects his city. I haven’t seen him working with local grassroots organizations, I haven’t seen him run any prevention campaigns.”

Bagayoko, elected mayor of the newly enlarged Saint-Denis in March 2026 under the far-left La France Insoumise-led list, has indeed drawn attention for his controversial stances.

Public records show no prominent statements or dedicated campaigns from the new municipal team specifically targeting FGM prevention in the months following the election. Seine-Saint-Denis, with its significant population originating from high-prevalence regions, remains the clear epicenter within France.

“We are talking about torture inflicted on tens of thousands of women and children, so maybe it’s time to take action,” Silva stated.

Jeffrey Tucker, a prominent critic of COVID-19 lockdown policies from the earliest days, stated categorically that the purpose of the stringent measures was not to protect people’s health; it was to delay the onset of natural immunity so that the experimental “vaccine” which was still in development would be hailed as the heroic solution to the virus.

The shocking assertion was made during a recent The Brownstone Show podcast with fellow truth-teller Dr. Jessica Rose as they spoke about the revelations supplied by the publication of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary. 

“I was told by top FDA, NIH officials that a major reason for social distancing, lockdowns, masking, plexiglass, stay at home orders, and everything else was to delay the onset of natural immunity, to delay rising seroprevalence levels, to delay endemicity, until after the shots were online,” said Tucker. He didn’t name the federal officials who disclosed the true purpose of the tyrannical government orders. 

“So it wasn’t just that all these … social engineering tactics were designed to keep us well. No. It was exactly the opposite,” Tucker argued. 

“It was to keep us from gaining a natural capacity to resist the virus so that they could wait until the injection came along so the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and thereby get all the credit for having solved the issue,” he explained. 

Tucker admitted that his statement sounded like “a wild conspiracy theory, but that’s what they meant by ‘flatten the curve.’” 

“‘Flatten the curve’ meant to prolong the pain, delay the solution,” he emphasized. 

“It sounds crazy until you hear it from people who were there on the ground, in the agencies, in the companies, watching all this unfold,” continued Tucker, adding:   

Multiple sources have confirmed this without a shadow of a doubt in their mind that that was the real purpose of the school closures, the business shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, the travel restrictions, everything – to delay the point at which we would have essentially solved the problem through natural exposure and immune upgrades.  

Jeffrey Tucker just revealed that top FDA and NIH quietly admitted the real reason for Covid lockdowns, masking, and social distancing to him.

It sounds like a “wild conspiracy theory.”

But it’s the truth.

The driving force behind the creation of the Brownstone Institute and that of Jeffrey Tucker’s Brownstone Show podcast is the global crisis created by policy responses to the COVID-19 crisis of 2020. 

“That trauma revealed a fundamental misunderstanding alive in all countries around the world today, a willingness on the part of the public and officials to relinquish freedom and fundamental human rights in the name of managing a public health crisis, which was not managed well in most countries. The consequences were devastating and will live in infamy,” the institute’s website states.

The mission of the Brownstone Institute is “to come to terms with what happened, understand why, discover and explain alternative paths, and seek reforms to prevent such events from happening again. Lockdowns and mandates have set a precedent in the modern world; without accountability, social and economic institutions will be shattered once again.”

The brief but spectacular arrival of an estimated 80,000 Moroccans swimming past the breakwater into Spain at Ceuta on July 30 and 31, like Caesar swimming across Alexandria harbour after his famous encounter with Cleopatra who was conducted into his presence rolled up in a carpet, raises some interesting points about Europe’s immigration problems. The amphibious landing was conducted almost entirely by healthy and respectably, if lightly, dressed young men. There were very few females and no appearance of desperation or penury. It was a stark contrast with the endless marches of ragamuffins towards the US southern border in the Biden era.

The Spanish authorities, both local and central, responded quickly and professionally. Shopkeepers shuttered their establishments at once and there was no place for the invaders to pillage or eat, or even get a drink of water. Reinforcements arrived with commendable haste, and venerable visitors to Spain could recall the uncompromising efficiency of General Franco’s “grey guards”. Within a few days most of the spontaneous visitors had been rounded up, given a hot meal and a cool drink and returned to Morocco. The Spanish Government has put the number sent back at 73,000 and said about 2,500 remained in the enclave. The Ceuta government disputes that and estimates between 8,000 and 11,000 are still in the city, which its president Juan Vivas has called an untenable situation. At least 72 people died in the attempt, most of them drowned.

Spain’s tedious and fundamentally unfeasible premier, the left-wing poseur Pedro Sánchez, who has conducted a tiresome masquerade as Europe’s great friend and champion of the dispossessed migrant and refugee, put in an appearance in the rearguard of the police after they had brought the unscheduled visitation to an end. He had controversially approved the regularisation of some 500,000 mostly Latin American migrants in January 2026, but this was not remotely like former German chancellor Angela Merkel hurling open the borders of Germany to a million destitute and not easily assimilable people from the Middle East.

Like most of Europe, Spain has a naturally declining population but reasonable hopes for economic growth. Thus, it has a constant requirement for additions to the workforce. The astute response of the Spanish Government has been to facilitate immigration from Hispanic America. This is especially appealing after the current US administration’s closing of the southern border of that country. Such arrivals can apply for Spanish nationality after two years of legal residence, against 10 years for most other nationalities. They are almost all Spanish-speaking Roman Catholics and assimilation is even simpler than that of the British and Irish in the United States, Canada and Australia.

In fact, the European Union, very belatedly, is responding effectively to the hazards of porous borders. Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, recorded almost 178,000 unauthorised entries into the EU in 2025, a fall of 26 per cent on the previous year. This is not an excessive strain on the combined population of over 400 million and does represent a serious effort by the entire entity to pull up its socks. This is not a number large enough to put excessive strain on costs for the citizens of modest income in the European countries and there should be an appreciable decline in racial tensions as a result of it.

Ironically, the principal reasons that the United Kingdom narrowly voted to depart the European Union were the undemocratic structures of European government and its inability to deal with immigration. A blizzard of bureaucratic directives from Brussels, in the name of an “ever closer Union”, was going to subsume the institutions that the British had gradually built up since the Magna Carta of 1215, even as the British blamed Brussels for an indigestible flow of unskilled immigration. Now that the sceptred isle of the United Kingdom is on its own and despite its glorious maritime traditions which permitted it to say when it wished that “the continent is isolated”, because of the strength of the Royal Navy, illegal immigration has risen. It is no longer possible to recruit the French and Belgians and Dutch to assist in restricting the number of migrants leaving those countries for British shores. And the Royal Navy, which held the sceptre of the seas for 400 years from the time of Henry VIII to the rise to pre-eminence of America, is unable to contain the armada of rafts and rowboats that continuously delivers human flotsam and jetsam to Britain’s shores. Frontex counted nearly 59,000 attempted Channel crossings in the first 10 months of 2025, 3 per cent more than a year earlier.

The good news is that immigration-based abrasions should steadily moderate. Though it is distressing, as Britain installs Andy Burnham as its seventh prime minister in 10 years amidst statements of intent that give no comfort whatever that standards of government there will rise, to contemplate, as was discussed in this place, the unprecedented current lack of aptitude of the British people for self-government. The fact that Europe is getting on top of this problem of uncontrollable flows of population that bear no resemblance to traditional immigration, where newcomers help build a new nationality, is a cause for relief. But the continued floundering of Great Britain, which for centuries was the most stable and most respected government of any important country, is a source of unease for the entire world.

Villages across England have been left up in arms after the Government confirmed it is continuing plans to house up to 1,200 asylum seekers at three former military bases in Oxfordshire, North Yorkshire and Suffolk.

Two of the three sites earmarked for conversion sit less than a mile from primary schools, placing the plans in direct conflict with rules the Home Office itself published in July.

The scheme, originally announced by the previous government in June, is intended to wean the asylum system off its costly dependence on hotel accommodation.

RAF Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire — where Prince William trained during his military service in 2008 — has a primary school, nursery and children’s play area all situated within a mile of the site.

RAF Linton-on-Ouse is set to house up to 1,200 male asylum seekers, creating a ratio of six men to each woman in the 600-person village.

Malcolm Taylor, a North Yorkshire councillor, told The Times: “It’s quite an attractive site, it’s not one of your austere former military sites and it’s right in the heart of the village. So as a consequence, it’s right adjacent to the school, the play park That’s what has really ramped up the concerns of the community.”

In west Suffolk, RAF Barnham near Thetford is being considered for conversion into accommodation capable of holding as many as 1,250 asylum seekers, a proposal that has generated significant alarm locally.

A third site near Piddington, close to Bicester in Oxfordshire, does not neighbour a school but sits beside a children’s play area.

John Bauer, chairman of Barnham parish council, warned that some parents were already contemplating withdrawing their children from Barnham School owing to its closeness to the proposed site, a move that could threaten the school’s long-term future.

The concerns have also been raised in Parliament. Sir Alec Shelbrooke, the Conservative MP for Wetherby & Easingwold, pressed Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on whether she would exclude the Linton-on-Ouse site from consideration, describing the location as “inappropriate” because of its “proximity to the primary school”.

Ms Mahmood responded: “No decision has been taken, and all these factors, including other community assets, such as schools and community facilities, are taken into account as part of the decision making.”

The Home Office’s own July guidance also ruled out new-build properties and homes that might be perceived as luxurious for asylum housing.

Labour faces accusations of sidestepping local democratic processes by employing an “urgent” planning mechanism for the Bicester and Barnham sites. Rather than submitting applications through local planning authorities, the Home Office has sent them directly to Housing Secretary Angela Rayner for approval.

Officials have justified the fast-track route on grounds of national interest, but the approach has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum.

MPs from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives whose constituencies border the proposed sites have voiced concerns that the process is fundamentally undemocratic.

Andy Burnham has defended the proposals this week, arguing that residents of wealthier parts of the country must “play their part”.

He added that he was “prepared always to listen to people, to work with people and to pick up legitimate concerns”.

Anna Turley, the minister for border security and asylum, sought to reassure communities by insisting that migrants housed at the sites would have access to all necessary services on the premises.

“They’re not going to be in the village,” she told LBC. “Everything they need will be on that site.”

The Home Office said: “We are seeking to fairly house asylum seekers across the country, working closely with local authorities to reduce the impact on communities.

“This means closing every asylum hotel while moving asylum seekers into alternative accommodation, including former military sites.

“It also means reducing the number in asylum accommodation. The number receiving support is now falling, and asylum costs are down by £1 billion since the general election.”

Reform’s Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf wrote on X: “Andy Burnham is about to dump 1200 unvetted adult male illegal migrants on a tiny village, resulting in locals putting up with a ratio of SIX MEN TO EVERY WOMAN.

“The Home Office is boasting about closing a few asylum hotels. Only about 5 per cent of small boat migrants have been sent back.

“They’re going to put them in every part of the country as Burnham lectures us about needing to ‘play our part’.

“What will that look like? One small village has just found out. The Government is planning to move 1,200 adult to a site near the tiny village of Linton-on-Ouse in Yorkshire. It is situated right next to a nursery and primary school.

“What’s more, given the village’s small population, this move will result in a ratio of 6 men to every woman in the village, according to a local MP. Burnham is directly endangering British women and girls.

“That’s why a former Tory minister is joking about putting brothels there for them. These people are sick. We don’t have to live like this.

“A Reform government will detain and deport EVERY illegal migrant the Tories and Labour brought here.”

Jason Arday, the University of Cambridge’s celebrated “youngest Black professor,” was found dead Friday afternoon in his Battersea home. He was 41. Police say the death is unexpected but not suspicious. His family claims he was driven to despair by a “campaign of sustained abuse” and “misinformation.” The truth is far simpler and far uglier: left-wing racism—the race-obsessed DEI machine that elevated him—built a house of cards, then watched it crush the man it claimed to champion.

Arday was appointed Professor of Sociology of Education at Cambridge in 2023 at the age of 37. The university and the media immediately turned him into a living advertisement for equity. He was the face of “diversity done right”—a Black academic from a social-housing background who had supposedly overcome autism, global developmental delay, partial deafness, and being non-verbal until age 11. He claimed he only learned to read and write at 18. Cambridge and the BBC ate it up. He became the poster child for every diversity quota, every “inclusion” initiative, every race-based hiring policy that treats skin color as a primary qualification.

It was all a fantasy.

His 2015 PhD thesis from Liverpool John Moores University was a cut-and-paste job. Analysts found more than 100 passages—sometimes nearly 200 consecutive sentences—identical or nearly identical to a 2009 dissertation by Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, complete with the same grammatical errors and even a mangled apostrophe in the title. LJMU investigated and, in true left-wing academic fashion, declared the massive copying “honest and reasonable errors.” The PhD still stands. Other papers showed recycled interview quotes attributed to different people, impossible data, and more lifted text. Journals quietly corrected some of the mess rather than retract.

The résumé was no better. Arday claimed visiting professorships at Ohio State University (the university has no record of him), the University of Glasgow (they confirm he never held the title), and other institutions. A book he listed as published never existed. Charity claims of raising millions by running hundreds of miles in a few days were pure fiction—records show a fraction of that amount. Childhood schoolmates have publicly disputed the non-verbal, illiterate narrative, describing a chatty, joking kid who spoke just fine.

Cambridge hired him anyway.

Why? Because the Equity and Inclusion bureaucracy demanded it. Race first, merit second—or not at all. The same ideology that discriminates against White and Asian candidates in the name of “equity” waved Arday through the gates. Better-qualified applicants with the wrong skin color were discarded. That is the definition of racism. The left simply rebranded it as justice and made it official policy across British and American universities.

This is not new. It is the same racial obsession that once measured skulls and now measures melanin. The results are predictable: fraudsters get elevated, real standards collapse, and people get destroyed. Arday’s fabricated life was sustained by the very system that treated his race as a free pass. When the curtain was finally pulled back—thanks largely to independent researchers willing to ignore the sacred DEI taboos—the illusion shattered. Nine days after he resigned under the pressure of Cambridge’s belated investigation, he was dead.

The family blames “abuse.” The real abuse was the left’s decision to turn a man into a racial mascot and paper over every red flag because the narrative was too valuable. Universities that prioritize ideology over truth incubate this tragedy. They reward fabulists who check the right demographic boxes and punish anyone who notices. The same departments that push “anti-racism” are the most aggressively racist institutions in the modern West.

Left-wing racism kills.

It kills careers that should have been earned, it kills academic integrity, and in this case, it appears to have helped kill a man who could not survive the exposure of the lie that the system encouraged. DEI offices must be dismantled. Their architects should be held accountable. Skin-color preferences are not justice—they are state-sanctioned hatred that produces monsters, frauds, and corpses.

The body count is rising. How many more will it take?

Jason Arday, the former University of Cambridge professor at the centre of a plagiarism row, has been found dead.

Emergency services said a man was found “unresponsive” at an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday afternoon.

Metropolitan Police officers were called by the London Ambulance Service. A 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene and his next of kin have been informed, the force said.

Arday resigned as a Cambridge professor of sociology of education last week after allegations of plagiarism and questions about some of his achievements. He had denied the claims.

In a statement, the Met Police said: “At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.”

Cambridge University vice-chancellor Professor Deborah Prentice said: “We are desperately saddened to hear this tragic news”.

“Our heartfelt sympathies go to Jason Arday’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time”, she said.

A far-left professor once hailed as “diversity’s poster boy” before his career was ruined in a massive plagiarism scandal has now ‘unexpectedly’ passed away.

As the UK Telegraph reported, scandal-plagued Cambridge University professor Jason Arday was discovered dead on Friday after resigning his position earlier this month at the school over credible allegations that he plagiarized and lied on his resume.

The paper notes that the 41-year-old Arday was found “unresponsive” in south London and later pronounced dead.

“Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers,” a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told the Telegraph.

The spokesman added that Arday’s death was surprising, though not suspicious.

“At this time, his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious. The case is being investigated by officers from the Met’s Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner.”

Arday was once hailed as the poster child for DEI after becoming the youngest-ever black professor at Cambridge in March of 2023.

Outlets from across the world lavished him with embarrassing praise, calling him a “superstar academic,” a “diversity poster boy“, and even “the world’s most famous living sociologist.”

The Guardian notes that Arday delivered a speech at the 75th-anniversary conference of the British Sociological Association, claiming that white conservative and right-wing activists have utilized a distinctive “playbook” to discredit black academics by accusing them of plagiarism and citation errors.

Arday added that this was a “cancer” that must be eradicated from academia.

Then his own examples of plagiarism were leaked.

Here’s the background via Euronews:

A Substack post by Nathan Cofnas, a philosopher at the University of Ghent and a self-defined “race realist” who was fired by Cambridge’s Emmanuel College in 2024, claimed that Arday’s PhD thesis, titled “An exploration of peer-monitoring among student teachers’ to inform reflective practice within the context of action research”, was plagiarized after having been put through plagiarism detection software.

The Telegraph reported that analysis had found more than 100 passages in his PhD were similar to another thesis by Paula Zwozdiak-Myers, a student at Brunel University in London, published six years earlier.

In their article, titled “Cambridge’s diversity poster boy in plagiarism row,” the Telegraph cited Dave Harris, emeritus professor at Plymouth Marjon University, who had alerted Cambridge and Liverpool John Moores Universities to his concerns about plagiarism in 2023.

He is quoted as saying: “In my opinion, important sections of the work of Professor Jason Arday, both his PhD thesis and some subsequent published articles, solo and jointly written, seem to display indications of serious plagiarism. I can think of no other plausible explanation for what I have read.”

Cambridge University initially responded by saying that those accusing Arday of plagiarism were racist. Then, on August 5, they opened an investigation following the far-left Guardian’s exposé on Arday.

Arday resigned the same day.

Italy’s Giorgia Meloni is using the Ceuta disaster to strengthen the national-conservative front within the EU.

by Thomas Kolbe 

Italy’s Meloni is using the Ceuta disaster to strengthen the national-conservative front within the EU. Returns, a tough border regime, and an end to socialist dominance are now on the table.

Eleven years have passed since Angela Merkel opened the floodgates of migration to chaos. The European Union, already firmly in the grip of statists and numerous left-wing currents, has since become almost unrecognizable. The advance of Islamization and the dissolution of established urban milieus, traditions, and cultures are progressing and contributing to the disintegration of European societies.

What is particularly striking is the emergence of a kind of Islamo-Marxist movement, a fusion of radical socialist social ideals with a Sharia-based reinterpretation of society — as long as it is directed against the bourgeois West and the civilizational achievements of old Europe. Migration from North Africa and the Middle East is the united Left’s battering ram against the remnants of bourgeois European societies.

Against an increasingly tense backdrop came the Ceuta crisis: the invasion of more than seventy thousand mostly young men, tolerated as a triviality by the Spanish government — initially portrayed by the mainstream media, in a desperate attempt, as a kind of party invasion, later as a wave of poverty migration, and finally, with some reluctance, as an organized and aggressive political act. In the end, one sober conclusion remains: The European Union has no effective border protection whatsoever. Its organization Frontex is a band-aid, hastily stuck onto the gaping wound of a migration policy that, in reality, has made mass migration a goal of the left-wing consensus.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is one of the leading proponents of the EU’s political mainstream. The socialist, whose government only a few weeks ago registered 1.3 million applications to legalize immigrants residing illegally in the country — more than twice as many as originally expected – has also accepted a ruling by the Supreme Court that has effectively turned the sea route into a safe route to Spain: Only those who forcibly cross border fences may be sent back; anyone who lands by boat already enjoys state privileges. Sánchez has become a bridgehead for illegal migration into the EU — a Merkel multiplier, if you will.

At least we now have clarity: The Ceuta crisis exposes the dividing line between the socialists in the EU and the slowly but surely emerging national-conservative front.

What happened? During the night of July 31, around 72,000 people, most of them young men, crossed the border from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. According to Spanish figures, around 70,000 of them left the territory again within a few days — officially “voluntarily.” Madrid described the situation as being under control; in reality, it was a capitulation to sheer numbers.

The Spanish government’s complete failure caused considerable anger, particularly in Rome. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reacted on the very day of the chaos and suspended the Schengen Agreement with regard to Spain. She spoke of shocking images from Ceuta and announced via X that Italy would not stand idly by and would, if necessary, take extraordinary measures to protect its own country from negative consequences. Her Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani ultimately implemented the closure of the Schengen area to Spain, citing the threat to national security.

Meloni seized the opportunity and, together with Denmark’s Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, initiated an open letter to the EU institutions, signed by 22 member states, calling for a coordinated response to illegal migration and stronger EU external borders. The message from the two politicians: They will not accept uncontrolled migration into Europe and are themselves now pursuing a stricter immigration policy.

The two politicians may thus be outlining the one viable option for the future of the European Union: A jointly financed and highly professional system for protecting the EU’s external border would be one of its pillars alongside a deregulated internal market — external security and free competition within. The EU could be placed on a new foundation if it concentrated on its core responsibilities and abandoned the moralizing path of ever-growing bureaucracy. For now, however, national law stands in the way.

The socialist Sánchez will do everything he can, much like the German government, to ensure that the flow of migration does not stop. Too much is at stake: new voter potential and the conviction of the united Left that, in a globalized world, no national cultural enclaves should be tolerated. It is the heartfelt concern of all those on the Left to whom, significantly, Angela Merkel — politically socialized in East Germany — gave voice and political expression.

The dispute over Ceuta describes the dividing line between the socialist forces within the EU and the emerging national conservatives, whose informal spokesperson appears to be Italy’s prime minister. Certainly, the electoral defeat of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was an important victory for supporters of open borders, mass migration, and globalism. His successor, Péter Magyar, has since been working under enormous pressure to dismantle Fortress Hungary and bring the country back into the migration flow.

This does not change the fact that national-conservative voices are making themselves heard in almost every country of the European Union, demanding a return to reason, to European values and, above all, to a border regime that is known to be the very foundation of statehood: A state without borders is not a state, but a settlement zone, a product of chaos — a volatile entity that sinks into the waves of poverty and crime faster than even the Left could imagine.

The outcry over Hamel’s killing lasted only as long as it took for the ink on the page the following day to dry. And Pope Francis, after Hamel’s murder, said: “If I speak of Islamic violence I must also speak of Catholic violence.” He really said that.

by Giulio Meotti

Imagine the scene: a Mass celebrated in an ancient church in Normandy, three parishioners, two nuns and an elderly priest. Six people in all. And two terrorists armed with knives who interrupt the rite and slit the priest’s throat on the altar.

It was nothing new.

1996: seven French monks massacred in Algeria.

2006: an Orthodox priest beheaded in Iraq.

But on 26 July 2016 this horrible ritual was consummated in the heart of European Christendom.

Danièle is a nun in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, a banlieue of Rouen.

On 26 July, Father Jacques Hamel had packed his bags to leave on holiday with his family. But as usual he was celebrating the 9 a.m. Mass in the church of Saint-Étienne.

The nun clearly remembers the two jihadists bursting in from the sacristy, just after Hamel had dismissed the congregation: “Go in peace.” The two young men entered shouting in Arabic.

“I said to myself: ‘That’s it, it’s over for us,’” the nun tells Le Figaro. The killers chanted “Allahu Akbar,” yelling that “Christians are the enemies of Muslims.” One thrusts a camera into the hands of Guy Coponet, 87, and forces him to film; the other rushes at Father Jacques: “What are you doing? Calm down!” The priest is forced to his knees, resists, receives a first knife blow, then a second, fatal one. He cries: “Get away, Satan!”

The nun flees and stops a lorry: “Quick, call the police.” The terrorists were killed shortly afterwards.

Far from the concert halls of the Bataclan, far from the packed Promenade des Anglais in Nice, terrorism had chosen the nave of a little stone church that dominates a working-class area, where Danièle had been for several years.

Saint-Étienne, a working-class banlieue parish, de-Christianised, dominated first by the Communist Party, then by Islam: “today it is a Muslim neighbourhood,” Sister Danièle confides, pointing to the veiled women and the men in qamis.

Guy Coponet was also a witness and a victim of the murder.

After Communion the sacristy door opens. “They stab me in the arm, in the back and cut my throat,” the parishioner recounts. “I press on my neck where I feel the blood flowing.” The terrorists pour their propaganda over the faithful. Guy’s wife recalls: “They question us, especially Sister Hélène. ‘Do you know the Qur’an?’”

The weekly La Vie published the messages the terrorists had exchanged before striking. “Is a synagogue good?” one asks. “Everything’s fine,” his boss replies from Syria. But he does not want to “focus on the Jews,” because “people immediately think of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Take a knife, go into a church, cut off two or three heads. No mercy for these people.”

The emotion and the scandal over Hamel’s killing lasted only as long as it took for the ink on the page the following day to dry.

Pope Francis, after Hamel’s murder, said: “If I speak of Islamic violence I must also speak of Catholic violence.”

What? He actually said that???

It is hard to understand why, in the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome, the Qur’an was heard at the ceremony for Father Hamel. As if the very text from which the executioners drew strength could magically become an instrument of reconciliation. It is a form of reverse magic: one believes that by touching the wound with the same weapon that produced it one can heal it.

But one does not heal. One humiliates the dead man.

It is hard to understand why, in Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, Bishop Duval gave a piece of land adjoining one of the churches in Hamel’s town for the construction of a mosque. It was not generosity. It was a surrender. A surrender disguised as dialogue. Because dialogue, when one of the two interlocutors still holds the knife, is not dialogue: it is coercion under threat.

Two years ago the cathedral of Rouen itself caught fire-the city of the cathedral Monet painted thirty times. The city of the “hundred steeples” and the place where Joan of Arc was burned alive in the Hundred Years’ War.

Then they also burned the synagogue of Rouen.

The nun who the terrorists had asked whether she knew the Qur’an told them she appreciated the verses that speak of peace.

In the terrorists’ brilliant reply to the nun lies the whole moral of this strange story: “Peace is exactly what we want.”
