Britain

A proposed law in the United Kingdom (U.K.) would reportedly regulate social media like a “hazard industry,” with new methods of censorship. Free speech advocates should be concerned.

The New York Times has long lit into Boris Johnson and his Conservative government in the United Kingdom over its response to the coronavirus pandemic. But Josh Holder’s hit in the Sunday edition may turn out embarrassing: “Children Drive Britain’s Longest-Running Covid Surge.” Holder strongly hinted that Johnson’s reckless insistence that life return to normal this summer (no masks…

Washington -- One of the unsung prophets of Aukus last week was the great British historian Andrew Roberts, who soon will be recognized throughout the English-speaking world as the man who has attempted to retrieve the reputation of King George III from the sneers of ... well, of people like me. His biography of George III will come out in early November, and of course, I have not had a chance…

Over the weekend, it was announced that the BBC has selected liberal producer Russell T. Davies as showrunner for the long-running British science fiction series Doctor Who which, in recent years, has delved into promoting a liberal agenda on issues like global warming, guns, and hostility to President Donald Trump.

Morning Joe—in the persons of Scarborough, Richard Haass, Anne Gearan, and Willie Geist—tore into Biden's mishandling of the cancellation of Australia's submarine-building contract with France in favor of one with the US. But Biden had one, lonely, backer: Mika Brzezinski. She piped up throughout the long segment, doing her best to defend Biden.   

The New York Times never misses a chance to go after Prime Minister Boris Johnson, leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain. Saturday’s piece by Stephen Castle, “Cronyism and Profiteering Allegations Roil Britain’s Conservative Party,” told a familiar liberal media story of “Tory sleaze.” 

You know the New York Times is against you when a story compares you to Donald Trump in the headline and lead paragraph. Monday’s report by London bureau chief Mark Landler found Boris Johnson, Britain’s embattled Conservative Party Prime Minister, in Trumpish straits: “A Trump-Like Quandary Over Racism and Sports Roils Johnson in Britain.”

It’s not just American conservatives that the corrupt journalists at CBS This Morning try and slime as racist. British Conservative Boris Johnson is, apparently, responsible for the racist trolls on Twitter who spewed vile attacks at England’s soccer team after a heartbreaking loss in the European championship. That’s the implication from reporter Imtiaz Tyab, anyway.

Morning Joe slobbers over President Biden's G-7/NATO/Putin summit trip. Joe Scarborough says, "I can't think of a more successful diplomatic trip in the 21st century than this one."  And speaking of Biden's press conference after his meeting with Putin, Jon Meacham claims to find "poetry in his prose."

Despite his multiple gaffes at the G-7 summit in Cornwall, UK, Morning Joe bills President Biden as "calm" and the "strong leader" of the alliance. 

So much for the facts. A U.K.-based fact-checking outlet financed by liberal billionaire George Soros tried as early as February 2020, to swat down the idea that COVID-19 had leaked from a laboratory in communist China.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, admitted he doesn’t know much about the First Amendment, but that didn’t stop him from calling it “bonkers” and blaming social media platforms for trying to “redefine what free speech means.” The Duke of Sussex criticized the commercialization of media, and the unfettered protections the First Amendment provides them, on an episode of actor Dax Shepard’s podcast “…

Uh-oh. There’s another right-wing Republican trying to disenfranchise minorities and suck up to “social conservatives.” He’s the British Prime Minister. That’s the bizarre view from CNN anyway.

Washington -- I could not reach my colleague Wlady Pleszczynski for most of the day on Saturday. He was mysteriously missing. On Saturdays, we talk for at least an hour on the telephone about the past week's events, but not this Saturday. His telephone rang and rang, all for naught. The same was true for two more of my weekend confidants. I had important news to convey to them, but no one was…
