To our Canadian and American readers, Happy Post-Dominion Day/Pre-Fourth of July Weekend.
Steyn's free-speech case against the UK media censor Ofcom is now before the King's Bench Division of the English High Court. His legal team have asked that the Ofcom commissars' second ruling against him - for his show with Naomi Wolf on the Covid vaccine damage - be rolled into the first and adjudicated together. Many viewers, listeners and readers have asked how they can support this important case for freedom of expression on critical public policy. Please scroll down the page for more information.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~The week began with Tal Bachman wrapping up his series on rugby... and Steyn with a song for Vladimir Putin.
~On Monday Mark noted another rave review for The Prisoner of Windsor.
Later he launched a new week of The Mark Steyn Show with Anne-Élisabeth Moutet on the French president's supposed "toxic masculinity":
"The feeling....is that Emmanuel Macron - who once used to want to be an actor - essentially inhabits different parts but believes in nothing." - @moutet on #TheMarkSteynShow

Also on the show was Andrew Lawton on Canadian organ "donation":

As mentioned above, Michele Bachmann will be joining Steyn on this coming week's Mark Steyn Cruise - and with no vax/test requirements whatsoever. So, if you'd like to see the beautiful Adriatic in the company not only of Michele but of Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Mister Snerdley, Alexandra Marshall and more, and you can hop a flight to Trieste, we'll do our best to squeeze you in:
~On Wednesday, The Mark Steyn Show presented our midweek panel of Leilani Dowding, Alexandra Marshall and Samantha Smith to take the pulse of the planet. Topics included Steyn on the proliferation of new religions:
"Are you religious? Do you worship God?"
Mark Steyn on the new religions...

Later, Leilani addressed the ferocious opposition to an entirely reasonable bill:
How British TV misses the fantastic @MarkSteynOnline
How erudite, commonsensical and courageous @LeilaniDowding is.
Every other media outlet is afraid to upset the narrative.
Thank you Mark and thank you Leilani. pic.twitter.com/av2oWPp0Wf

And Samantha put in a word for routinely demonised white people:
"As a mixed race woman myself... I would rather be in a room full of white people and know that I'm not a token ethnicity..." @SamanthaTaghoy on #TheMarkSteynShow re: #questiontime

Also on Thursday Laura's Links rounded up the Internet, from the disintegration of the American republic to gynaecologists who decline to examine ladies' testicles.
~On Friday Mark hosted another Clubland Q&A with questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet on topics from the French riots to the de-banking of Nigel Farage - plus music for Dominion Day. You can listen to the whole show here.
~For his Saturday screen date, Rick McGinnis picked an Ealing classic, Passport to Pimlico.
As mentioned above, many of you have asked how you can support Mark's important lawsuit against the UK state censor Ofcom in the English High Court. There are multiple ways to do so, including:
a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;
b) buying a chum a SteynOnline gift certificate;
c) ordering him or her Mark's new book; or
d) treating your loved one to a stateroom on next month's Mark Steyn Cruise. He or she will love you forever.
In the first two cases, 100 per cent of the proceeds and, in the latter two, a significant chunk thereof go to a grand cause - and you or your loved one gets something, too.
As to that new book, The Prisoner of Windsor, the five-star reviews are piling up around the world. Bob Walker writes at Amazon:
Great book
Is there anything Mark cannot do? This is a thoroughly enjoyable book that joins his others of quite different veins. Oddball, fun, clever - it's simply terrific satire. Highly recommended.
Thank you, Bob. To see what he means...
