offsite link Record 111,000 Claims From Asylum Seekers in Labour?s First Year Thu Aug 21, 2025 19:04 | Toby Young
Applications for asylum were up 14% on the previous 12 months after a surge in migrants reaching Britain in small boats, according to official figures. So much for Labour's promise to "smash the gangs".

offsite link The Truth About Britain?s Wildfires Thu Aug 21, 2025 15:00 | Paul Homewood
It is simplistic to blame the recent spike in wildfires on climate change, writes Paul Homewood. A more likely cause is the rewilding of uplands, supposedly to cut carbon emissions, and poor management of forested land.

Lucy Connolly's jail sentence versus Ricky Jones's acquittal shows not two-tier justice but two-tier laws ? the system worked as intended, says Nick Rendell.

The Guardian, of all papers, has acknowledged that predictions about the disappearance of Arctic sea ice may ? just may ? have been exaggerated. Paging Gore Vidal: Can we have that prize back please?

Fr. Carl Kabat Imprisoned Again- he has Spent Two Decades in Jail for Resistance to Nuclear Weapons

Johnson: The priest, the clown and the life of protest
By Bill Johnson

Denver Post Columnist
Posted: 08/07/2009 01:00:00 AM MDT

Father Carl Kabat awoke early Thursday morning, put on his clerical
collar, grabbed his clown suit and quietly strolled out of his
longtime friend's Arvada home.

William Strabala, who has known the Catholic priest since their days
in the seminary more than 50 years ago and had hosted him since he
arrived from St. Louis, simply sighed. It was pointless, he knew, to
attempt to talk the 75-year-old priest out of what he was about to do.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Thursday, Carl Kabat arrived outside a N-8
Minuteman III nuclear missile silo near New Raymer in Weld County. He
donned his signature clown costume and breached the fences that
surround the silo.

He hung banners on the fence. He kneeled in his yellow wig, his
one-piece blue jumper adorned with patches and smiley faces and his
outsized red shoes. And he prayed.

Military authorities quickly arrived.
