Reader’s Comment of the Week
In response to David Keighley: Not the BBC news. Norway is very rich and very outside the EU, Nockian wrote:
“I cannot help but think that the mainstream media should be prevented from airing anything at all about Europe.
Instead there should be regular broadcasts that stress the need for people to consider the question carefully and to find out for themselves through their own research.”
TCW Hero of the Week
The journalist Melanie Phillips this week added her view to the growing debate on forcing young children head first into the transgender debate.
Dragging school children into gender politics is a “dangerous frivolity”, she says, with the real intention behind this to “break down children’s sense of what sex they are and also wipe from their minds any notion of gender norms”. Nothing further to add m’lud/m’lady, keep saying it like it is Melanie.
TCW Villain of the Week
Sweden’s National Police Commissioner Dan Eliasson represented the worst of the politically naïve establishment this week when he commented on the horrific murder of a social worker at a migrant centre in Sweden.
Eliasson, who has previously commented on how Swedish police are struggling to cope with waves of migrant crime, adds fuel to the fire by sympathising with the accused in the very same breath that he used to lament the victim’s fate. He asked “what has that person been through? Under what circumstances has he grown up? What is the trauma he carries?”. That’s no justification, Dan.
Here’s a more pertinent question: how about the trauma that the victim’s family will now have to suffer for the rest of their lives?
