Concern over the government’s limitation of the right to protest during lockdown continues to mount after it emerged that the home secretary, Priti Patel, is eager to grant police greater powers to control demonstrations once the Covid restrictions are lifted. In a letter to HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) Patel wrote that although she appreciates protest is “a cornerstone of our democracy” she wanted to know how the Home Office could help police ensure protests in the future do not impact on “the rights of others to go about their daily business”. In a letter to Sir Thomas…

On a crisp, sunny day at the King Power Stadium it was Arsenal’s Europa League travellers who looked to have been touched by the breath of spring. Behind after six minutes, Arsenal dominated possession and were good value for a 3-1 win against a depleted Leicester City team. Leicester will point to absences here, most notably their best midfielder and best centre half, James Maddison and Wesley Fofana, plus an injury to Harvey Barnes’s knee after half-time that will require an operation. But for Arsenal this felt like a significant turn, reward for one of their best away performances of the season. “The team…

Facebook whistleblower Ryan Hartwig, who lifted the lid on the social media giant’s alleged pattern of bias and censorship against conservatives, told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program on Feb. 28 that censorship at the company has become “outrageous.” Hartwig, a former content moderator at a third-party company that provided services to Facebook, made news in June 2020 when he alleged that moderators were told to enforce the social media platform’s policies selectively to allow, under certain circumstances, content that demonized the police or white males. “I saw that Facebook gave exceptions to, essentially, silence conservatives,” he said in an interview during the Conservative Political…

Following intense backlash, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has taken down a Twitter post that claimed lockdowns during the CCP virus pandemic are “quietly improving cities” across the globe. A champion of “environmental justice” and the “Great Reset” of capitalism, the WEF on Friday posted on Twitter a video featuring quiet, depopulated urban life and stalled industrial activities, noting that air pollution and carbon emissions have dipped to historical lows as governments around the world enforced lockdowns to curb the spread of the CCP (Chinese Commuunist Party) virus. “There were record falls in air pollution, clearing city skies from Asia to America.…

Robert Unanue, an U.S. corporate leader who experienced cancel culture firsthand last year, became one of the first business people to stand up against a leftist mob that tried to boycott his products because of his support for former President Donald Trump. “I’ve come to realize that a lot of what we’re doing is canceling God,” Unanue, an owner at the Hispanic-owned company Goya Foods Inc., told the Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando on Feb. 27. “We need a reason to get up in the morning. Goya kept working…

QUESTIONS have been raised over how the SNP spent £9.7billion of “Union” funding from the UK Government, Scotland’s Auditor General has warned. In his latest report on the impact of coronavirus, Stephen Boyle said the Scottish Government had received an extra £9.7billion to its budget of more than £40billion during the 2020/21 financial year. He said the transparency around public spending from the Scottish Government has become more difficult as governments work to rebuild the economy. Mr Boyle warned in the report that the COVID-19 pandemic had created financial management challenges for the SNP led Scottish Government. The Auditor General…

Rightmove, which runs Britain’s largest online real estate portal, said the UK housing market had almost shaken off pandemic-driven challenges and a current shortage of new listings should correct once the lockdown is lifted. Britain’s housing market rebounded midway through last year after an initial coronavirus shock, as buyers took advantage of low interest rates and a temporary tax break, while appetite for bigger homes suitable for remote working also drove demand. “In the absence of further economic shocks, we think it is likely that the current shortage of new listings will correct once the immediate lockdown is lifted and…

Facebook Inc ended a one-week blackout of Australian news on its popular social media site on Friday and announced preliminary commercial agreements with three small local publishers. The moves reflected easing tensions between the U.S. company and the Australian government, a day after the country’s parliament passed a law forcing it and Alphabet Inc’s Google to pay local media companies for using content on their platforms. The new law makes Australia the first nation where a government arbitrator can set the price Facebook and Google pay domestic media to show their content if private negotiations fail. Canada and other countries…

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday offered an endorsement of Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). “Senator Jerry Moran is doing a terrific job for the wonderful people of Kansas. Strong on Military, Vets, the Border, and our Second Amendment, Jerry has my Complete and Total Endorsement for his re-election in 2022!” Trump said in a statement released by his new Save America PAC. Moran’s office did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment. Moran had voted to acquit Trump at the Senate impeachment trial earlier this month. “The Constitution does not clearly state whether a former president can be tried for impeachment by the Senate,…

Children are not legally required to wear face masks in schools and should not be sent home if they refuse to wear one, government officials said last night. This week Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that secondary school pupils will have to wear masks if they cannot maintain social distancing in No10’s ultra-cautious ‘roadmap’ out of England’s third Covid lockdown. Though masks and regular coronavirus tests are strongly encouraged, officials insisted they are not legal requirements and students should not be ‘denied education’ as a result of non-compliance. Pupils will also be tested three times at school and once at home for two weeks after…
