For those of us in the free speech community, it was an important moment in Europe where free speech is being rapidly reduced. Now, however, the liberal government is moving to reinstate the blasphemy crime…
By Paul Homewood h/t Dennis Ambler It seems the Met Office is getting worried that its one-sided reporting of climate change is becoming exposed, as people are beginning to check the facts for themselves: A toolkit of information you can trust. There is overwhelming evidence that climate change is affecting the health of the […]
