offsite link Why the Right Must Take the High Ground When it Comes to Free Speech Sat Sep 27, 2025 09:00 | Toby Young
Tempting though it is, Donald Trump and his allies should refrain from trying to cancel their political opponents. Free speech is one of the core values that the defenders of Western civilisation should uphold.

offsite link In Defence of Cancelling the Left Fri Sep 26, 2025 17:00 | Dr James Allan
Should the Right take the moral high ground and refrain from cancel culture? Or should it give the Left a taste of its own medicine ? and try to teach it a lesson? It has to be the latter, argues Professor James Allan.

An atlantic storm came rolling in from the south west today with high winds and lashing rain - not the best weather for an outdoor protest. Undaunted several hundred people turned up at Daunt Square (!) for the third week running. Umbrellas were turned inside out and banners blown about - at one point the large Palestinian Flag at the front of the protest march down Patrick Street was ripped from one of its poles by a gust of wind. Everybody was saturated but the crowd was determined despite the weather: during the week one of the Palestinian organisers had lost his brother and his brother's entire family - 6 children and wife - all gone. The grief on his face was enough motivation for 10K protestors.
