Read @opinion_joe on the great Louis Armstrong. Superb essay from one of the treasures of American journalism https://t.co/aI8keUtXtl

The furor around Piker and Uygur is a distraction from a more central issue: Britain’s repudiation of free speech. These two American men hold views worthy of rebuke and ridicule. The lies they peddle should be rebutted forcefully.

But you can do that only in a liberal system that allows free expression. If anything, refusing entry to Piker and Uygur because they pose a “potential risk” to Britain, to use the Home Office’s language, gives them way more credit than they deserve.

You don't need to read editorialised accounts of what happened to Henry Nowak, at the hands of his killer, his killers cooperative family, and the police.

The sentencing remarks are the closest thing to ground truth, and are not long. Read them.

this is like 9/11 for three guys i know who are leftist shane fans

It's just all so exhausting.

Three weeks ago, the UK Home Office cancelled the ETAs of a bunch of controversial commentators on the right. That included Ezra Levant (explicitly pro-Israel), Joey Mannarino, Valentina Gomez etc.

The cited reason was that their presence in the UK would not serve the public good.

There was no outrage. No claims they did it for nefarious reasons. No concerns for free speech. No news articles.

Then Shabana Mahmood's office does the same thing to Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker for the same justification. They rush out to blame Israel. And suddenly, it's widespread outrage and non-stop stories pushing their claim while explicitly and intentionally ignoring the context above.

It's just tiring and dishonest.

"If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too. Football fans everywhere are suffering Arsenal’s consequences. They are like a company that spews pollution into the environment in their production process, privatising the profits and socialising the costs. To them, dumping toxic sludge into the river is just free waste disposal. It’s the rest of us who get a headache when we drink the tap water" https://t.co/PHpC1FRgv7

Jaw dropping quote from this story about Dutch parents who enabled their teen daughter to kill herself:

“I’ve had everything,” Iris explained to her father. “I’ve had a good life. I have good friends. I have loving parents. I worked in a bakery when I was 14—it was the best job I’ve ever had. I know I’m going to be sick for the rest of my life. I’m not getting better. For me, life is fulfilled. It’s completed.”

"The doctors had already told us there was nothing that could be done."

My reporting for @TheFP on the death of a Dutch teenager whose psychiatric suffering led her toward euthanasia, and eventually death at a hospice.
