In Defense of Thought and Speech: A Reflection on Criticisms Leveled Against Scholars at New York University

By Prof. Daniel Broudy, October 19 2020

Let no one say — without a vigorous challenge — that the so-called ‘new normal’ is not profoundly ab-normal, absurd, hideous, and intolerable.

POLICE have launched a new investigation into the shocking claims that a VIP paedophile ring operated at a top military boarding school.

By BEN BORLAND, EXCLUSIVE

 

Allegations of a paedophile ring at Queen Victoria School are being investigated by police The probe represents a major development in a 25 year campaign for justice by a retired teacher who risked his career to expose the alleged abuse. Glenn Harrison was a housemaster at Queen Victoria School in Dunblane when he began to suspect that pupils were being preyed upon.

He claims that boys were often taken away for unofficial overnight trips with dignitaries, while sexual abuse and bullying in the dormitories was ignored.

Some youngsters appeared badly traumatised, yet when he tried to speak to them or discuss his fears with fellow teachers he was told that certain aspects of school life must remain “secret”. 

We will give police every assistance in this investigation that we possibly can

The Scotland Drive for Independence

Decapitating the Union, Seceding from the United Kingdom

By Binoy Kampmark 

It is a union that has lasted 307 years.  On September 18, Scotland goes to the polls to see whether it will secede from the United Kingdom.   The polls are getting closer, and shocks have been felt with the suggestion that the Yes vote may well get across the line.

There is much going for the Yes group.  Britain suffers the curse of centrism.  London is everything, and sees itself as everything.  The great, rebarbative weapon of the south, Margaret Thatcher, destroyed the industrial, and consequently, Tory base. (In thanks, the north sports only one conservative member.) University education is free for the Scots, a feature that seems positively alien in public school mad England.  While the state is still seen as an instrument of social responsibility, down south, it is an evil in need of winding back.

The nationalists claim that Scots will be richer to the tune of £1,000 a year if they leave.  This figure is not necessarily reliable – like all such projections, they are subject to debt obligations, productivity and the natural resource issue.  North Sea oil is certainly touted as the great patch up, but it can only ever be temporary.

For all of this, the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), Alex Salmond, might finish strongly, even if he won’t get the vote he wants.  Salmond caught Alistair Darling, leader of the Better Together group, napping in their second television debate.  No nonchalance there. Just a roar for the independence cause.  In the last leg of this campaign, the pro-union campaigners are starting to sweat at the social media barrage and street canvassing on the part of the Yes campaigners.
