Mark takes questions from Steyn Club members around the planet...
I have paid a modicum of attention to British and European media regulation ever since I was removed from UK broadcasting, now and forever. Probably would have been wiser to pay attention before my removal, but, be that as it may, Ofcom decided that my conversation with Naomi Wolf about the Covid vaccines risked causing "harm" to people. And we wouldn't want that, would we? So I was interested to learn from the weekend's Glastonbury Festival just who you can target for "harm". Back in my youth, Glasto was a big peace'n'lovefest with a somewhat tedious hippie aesthetic. But now everybody seems to enjoy it mostly for the exhortations to murder: all we are saying is give death a chance! For whom? Well, Israelis, of course: A rap duo called ...

Programming note: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I hope to be back behind the microphone taking questions from Mark Steyn Club members around the world at 3pm North American Eastern (8pm British Summer Time) for our latest Clubland Q&A. Hope you can swing by. ~To all my compatriots at home and abroad, a happy 158th birthday! At noon on this day in 1867, the British North America Act came into effect and the Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Canada - that's Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) - were united into the brand new Dominion of Canada under a constitutional document that has since been applied, all but unmodified, to dozens of newborn nations in every corner of the globe. Something to celebrate, you'd think. But, for ...
