Here our wide brown land of vegemite and venomous critters, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, affectionately dubbed "Commissar Albo" by his detractors, has taken his government's draconian social media ban for under-16s on a world tour. At a slick side event during the UN General Assembly in New York, Europe's Ursula von der Leyen hailed Australia's...
The cacophony of culture wars: where feelings often eclipse facts, Richard Dawkins emerges as a voice for reason, ignoring his atheism for this post. His latest salvo, excerpted in the anthology The War on Science (edited by Lawrence Krauss and published by Post Hill Press), skewers the mantra "trans women are women" as not just misguided but "scie...
It's a move straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer unveiled plans recently for a mandatory digital ID scheme, the so-called "BritCard," that would turn every working adult in the UK into a walking barcode. No more casual job starts or flat rentals without flashing your app-linked creds against a central database, al...
The fevered haze of 2020: COVID gripped the globe, and disposable face masks morphed from niche medical gear to ubiquitous emblem, a badge of virtue, a shield against the unseen. Governments mandated them, celebrities flaunted them, and the Left embraced them as a progressive sacrament, symbolising collective care over individual liberty. Yet, fast...
In a gleaming Stanford lab, where silicon dreams collide with squishy biology, researchers at the Arc Institute have birthed a sci-fi nightmare into reality: 16 novel viruses, conjured by an AI called Evo, that hunt, infect, and slaughter E. coli with ruthless efficiency. Trained on two million bacteriophage genomes, like ChatGPT devouring Reddit, ...
In the dim corridors of Westminster, where scandals bloom like mould on damp walls, Angela Rayner's resignation over a council tax kerfuffle has handed Steve Reed a poisoned chalice: shepherding Labour's quest for an official "Islamophobia" definition into law. It's a move that's less about healing divides and more about drawing battle lines, ones ...
Yesterday the UK police arrested Steve Laws and Peter North, both dissidents in favour of remigration of the failing diversity so that the ethnic English can be protected from being outvoted, race war, and outbreeding. These men say sane things in an insane time and so are treated like criminals. Police state propaganda organ Searchlight reported t...
In the quaint English town of Epping, a modest hotel became a battlefield, not of fists or fireworks, but of words woven into judgments. The Bell Hotel, repurposed to shelter asylum-seekers, sparked protests after assaults by residents, leading Epping Forest District Council to seek its closure under planning law. The High Court's interim inj...
The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University remains a raw wound in America's fractured political landscape. The 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a powerhouse in conservative youth mobilisation, was gunned down mid-event by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a Utah local now facing aggravated murder c...
Donald Trump's speech to the UN General Assembly this week was a made-for-headlines moment: a U.S. president calling not just for tighter safeguards, but for the total abolition of biological weapons. He denounced "reckless experiments" and promised an AI-verified global treaty to keep "man-made pathogens" from ever again causing a catastroph...
In the wake of the September 22 press conference, headlines seized on a striking claim: that acetaminophen (Tylenol) might be a prime suspect in the rise of autism diagnoses. The suggestion was politically explosive, touching a public nerve long dominated by vaccine debates. But what does the evidence actually say about Tylenol and neurodevelopment...
In the midst of an ongoing slander lawsuits regarding allegations that she was born a man, Americans are begging Brigitte Macron to please, please not send them photographic proof she is a woman. "Brigitte Macron, we know you have been baselessly slandered, but we urge you to please reconsider," said Bob Smith, a spokesperson for America. "Please s...
Michael Snyder's essay (see below), reads like a dispatch from the edge of a geopolitical cliff. His alarm is not just about a single presidential statement but about the sudden, disorienting pivot it seems to represent. For months Donald Trump had cast himself as the candidate of quick peace in Ukraine. Then, in a few sharp sentences on Truth Soci...
Tucker Carlson's recent remarks on 9/11 "foreknowledge" are the sort of late–breaking revelation that lights up the internet because it blends three combustible ingredients: the enduring trauma of the attacks, the whiff of financial scandal, and a major media figure apparently reversing his earlier scepticism. To examine it fairly you need to separ...
Trump's "Triple Sabotage" broadside against the United Nations reads like a script pitched somewhere between House of Cards and a slapstick farce. The alleged sequence, an escalator that abruptly stops as the Trumps step aboard, a mysteriously dead teleprompter, and an auditorium sound system conveniently switched off, would, if planned, indeed mak...
The modern world is awash in plastic, and its microscopic remnants are now ubiquitous, from the deepest ocean trenches to the air in our homes. These tiny fragments, known as microplastics, are typically smaller than five millimetres and have become a pervasive contaminant in the global environment. Understanding their origins is crucial to address...
Suppose, just for the sake of argument, that the dark arts worked. Suppose the Etsy hex (see below) wasn't merely a click-bait stunt but a true invocation of "satanic powers," and that Charlie Kirk's death really was the consequence. Could American law, built on evidence, reason, and the presumption that nature runs on natural causes, ever treat th...
Is "progress" as we know it, a relentless march toward a shinier, techier, more centralised future, running out of steam? Dr. David McGrogan, in a provocative piece for Daily Sceptic, argues it is, predicting a return to the tangible, grounded, and human over the digital dystopia we're barrelling toward. I'm with him on this, but I'll frame it thro...
Lately, the headlines have been buzzing with a bizarre twist: If you think humans should, you know, have babies to keep the species going, you're suddenly "far-Right." APolitico piece on the NatalCon conference in Austin paints pronatalism, aka natalism, the simple idea that reproduction is a core part of human flourishing, as some shadowy plot for...
In a world that's increasingly chaotic, think endless online vitriol, political polarisation, and a general erosion of civil discourse, it's tempting to ask: Why does evil seem to thrive? The answer, as echoed in timeless philosophy and starkly visible in modern society, boils down to one critical abandonment: reason. When we ditch logic, evidence,...
