How We Know Flu Really Did Disappear in 2020 and 2021 Thu Jun 08, 2023 16:01 | Will Jones
Flu largely disappeared during 2021 and 2021, giving rise to ideas among some sceptics that it was being missed and wrongly classified as Covid. However, influenza surveillance data confirm that it really did vanish.

Just Stop Snake Oil Thu Jun 08, 2023 11:00 | Toby Young
Given how effective the pink-haired eco-protestors have been at promoting their hysterical, environmentalist alarmism, is it time to set up a militant, anti-Net Nero protest group? We could call it 'Just Stop Snake Oil'.

What Settled Science? Decades of Research Only Widen Guesses of Temperature Change Thu Jun 08, 2023 07:00 | Chris Morrison
Climate Armageddon tales are spun stating the temperature will soar unless fossil fuel, currently supplying 80% of our energy needs, is removed within less than 30 years. But it all rests on a highly uncertain hypothesis.

Call to all squatters, antifascists and everyone else to support the struggle in Calais

Emergency situation in Calais!

All squats and camps will be evicted in the next few days!

In the course of the next few days, three camps will be destroyed by the police. More than 600 people live in these camps, which were won through constant migrant struggle after a long series of evictions. No solution has been proposed for the evicted migrants. Moreover, a social center and two further squats are up for eviction starting on May 30th. All told, more than 800 people will be put on to the street.

In this stopping point on the way to England, squatting is the only housing solution that exists. It is also a tool of resistance for migrants to protect themselves from the violence and police harassment to which they are subjected in the camps and in the city. Today, the mayor of Calais's fight against squatting has reached a new low. This time she has proposed a law which would change the 48 hour period in which squats must be evicted (which is not officially set down in French law). We know very little about the content of this law, other than that it will make a clear attack on the right to housing for all. The entire future of squatting in France is endangered by this law.

We call all squatters to take action in their own cities to defend themselves from this grave threat to the right to squat. Moreover, we call all squatters, activists and militants to come fight this law where it was born: here, in Calais!

We call everyone to come and resist these evictions and to squat more empty buildings in Calais.

We call everyone who believes that after years of constant evictions with no solution for housing the migrants, this game of cat and mouse must end, because it takes place at the cost of the living conditions of refugees.

Antifascists, militants, activists, Zadists, freedom marchers: come support the struggle in Calais!
