- As a doctor, here’s my opinion on Nicki Minaj, swollen testicles and vaccine hesitancy – she’s not talking boll**ksRap star Nicki Minaj made the headlines for telling her millions of fans to make informed, personal decisions over whether to have the Covid jab or not. Why all the fury, when patient autonomy is a founding principle of medicine?
- That no one will resign for killing Kabul children shows American empire’s true faceWhile finally admitting the “righteous” drone strike against ISIS-K terrorists actually killed civilians and children, the Pentagon won’t punish anyone, because these things aren’t considered war crimes when the US does it.
- Why have British police treated eco activists with kid gloves, when they’ve clamped down so hard on lockdown protesters?Astonishing footage of police officers seemingly facilitating an environmental ‘protest’ that brought a motorway to a halt is all the proof you need that law-breaking eco activists are held to a different standard in the UK.
- White men are now almost extinct on university campuses – and that’s exactly what feminists wantFrom Malaysia to the US, women are dominating higher education in record numbers, but don't expect quotas or diversity measures to tackle the inequality.

- Gender gestapo celebrate win as tin-eared UK judges overturn ban on puberty blockers for under-16s who need help, not hormonesA UK Court of Appeal decision to allow young teenagers to decide on the first stage of gender transitioning is a blow for common sense, a gross misreading of the public mood and an insult to every parent.

- The Covid era’s politicization of expertise means we now have medics lecturing us on climate changeWould you go to a geologist for a cancer diagnosis? Of course not.

- The horror of the Haitian migrant camp in Texas shows why America MUST end its woke approach to immigration nowWith Joe Biden halting deportation flights to Haiti, a massive camp has been created under a Texas bridge with over 10,000 migrants.
