[Henrik Dahl @SociologenHD]

In a brilliant essay in The Sunday Times, Matthew Syed writes the following: “If extremism is defined as acting out of proportion with context, history or consent, I suggest Merkel’s tenure represented the high point of postwar European extremism.”

I agree with Syed’s analysis. But there is one aspect of Merkel’s legacy to which we need to pay particular attention.

In Merkel’s own country, Germany, the political centre is collapsing. Nationwide opinion polls suggest that the three establishment parties that rebuilt Germany after the Second World War now command the support of only around a third of the electorate between them.

Nor is Germany the only country where the political centre is collapsing. The same is happening in France - a development that puts the future of the centre at issue in next year’s presidential election.

In my view, Angela Merkel bears a grave responsibility for the collapse of the centre and the growing ability of the political extremes to set the agenda.

The almost one-third of voters who would support Alternative für Deutschland in a national election are not fascists or Nazis. A substantial proportion are disillusioned CDU voters.

What has disappointed these voters? First, what I see as Merkel’s failures on so many fronts: immigration. Security. Energy. A sustainable strategy for business and economic growth. Digitalisation. Infrastructure maintenance. The list is almost endless.

Second, the extraordinary denial of reality that, in my assessment, Merkel allowed to take hold when it came to immigrants’ responsibility for antisemitism, violence against women, terrorism and gang crime.

Coming from Denmark, where we have reliable statistics on all these matters, I find it frankly shocking to listen to the nonsense coming from Germany’s political elite.

But I would also trace back to Merkel the rise of what is often called “Islamo-leftism” - a tendency that has recently gained ground in Sweden and is also growing in Germany. In Sweden, polls have indicated that 85 per cent of Muslim voters support parties to the left of centre, with almost one in five supporting the Left Party, Vänsterpartiet - a party tainted by antisemitism and the glorification of terrorism. I see no compelling reason to assume that the pattern in Germany is fundamentally different.

My argument, then, is that it is not only the rise in support for the AfD that can be traced back to Merkel. The same applies to the growing support for parties on the German left that promote the political and religious views of a significant proportion of the people, Merkel invited to Germany. Not least on the Gaza question.

Merkel’s role in Europe’s political destabilisation deserves far closer scrutiny.

We need to discuss this openly and honestly. Otherwise, we cannot understand why the political centre is collapsing in so many countries today.

A toddler was euthanized in the Netherlands for the first time.

For being disabled.

This child was born prematurely, developed cerebral palsy, was diagnosed with epilepsy, was visually impaired, had a developmental delay, and would be dependent the rest of his life.

He was severely disabled, but he was not dying.

This child's disabilities were not the problem.

The society that would rather put him to death than care for him is.

Horrifying...

Nicole Maurier testified at the Allison Inquiry in Canadian Parliament about her daughter Abigail.

Abigail was 24. She had a drug hypersensitivity and a strong intuition that the COVID shots would harm her. She asked for a medical exemption from her employer (Alberta Health Services) and her lifelong doctor. Both were denied.

Her doctor told her the shots were "safe and effective." She trusted her.

She got her 1st Pfizer shot Sept 15, 2021. Her 2nd Oct 15, 2021.

Seven months later, she started feeling unwell. By March 2023, she was in the ER. A CT scan revealed she was "basically full of cancer."

She had a tumor in her right lung. Both lower and middle lobes collapsed. A tumor in her chest so large it was pushing her heart and valves to the left side of her body. Enlarged lymph nodes throughout her body - two in her neck threatening to cut off her ability to swallow or breathe.

She was diagnosed with NUT carcinoma, an extraordinarily rare cancer. The tumor doubled in size in just two weeks. Her oncologist said this rate of growth is what they'd normally see over a 10-year span in a cancer patient.

From diagnosis to death: six weeks.

She was 23. She never smoked. She was a ring girl at MMA fights in December 2022. By April 2023, she was unrecognizable.

Her platelets dropped to 6 (normal is 150-450). She bled from her nose for 24 hours. She coughed up massive blood clots. Her organs shut down one by one. She went into metabolic acidosis.

On May 2, 2023, Nicole crawled into bed with her daughter, sang her a lullaby, and held her as she took her last breath.

Abigail's family doctor later completed the federal VIS medical assessment form and wrote: "NUT carcinoma post-COVID-19 vaccination." She noted Abigail was mandated by her employer.

When Nicole confronted the doctor about denying Abigail's exemption, the doctor said: "You're right, I did."

And then she said: "What you need to understand is that we were threatened by our associations. If we gave out medical exemptions... we would lose our license and our job."

Nicole's final words:

"And for what? For a virus that has a 99% survival rate. All because of a mandate."

Abigail was Nicole's only child. Her "earth angel." Her entire world.

This is her story.

THE MOMENT EVERYTHING SHIFTED

Noel Gallagher talking about the day he found out Liam was in a band then heading down to The Boardwalk to see The Rain play.

One night. One room. One decision.
The spark that turned a local Manchester rehearsal into the beginning of Oasis.

They did the Steve Howey Ardiles story in an actual match!

🇪🇪 Massive respect to Estonian side Paide Linnameeskond, who conceded after just 14 seconds - without the opposition even touching the ball. 👏🤣🤣

@gamaliel_gam @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC He grew up a Chelsea fan so I can understand why he said no to us, and I actually respect that. But agreed, I don't like signing Chelsea's cast-offs. We've given a 28-year-old a five year deal and are paying all of Mudryk's wages. Deary me.

That retro Cologne jacket suits him perfectly. Smash it, Mikey.
