The Legal Case Against the AfD Has Collapsed Sun May 25, 2025 09:00 | Eugyppius
The legal case against the AfD has collapsed, says Eugyppius. At some point, you have to put the question: if the AfD is so evil and fascist and Hitler, why can?t anybody adduce any evidence of its evil Hitler fascism?

Plebeians Can No Longer Rant About Bloody Murder Sun May 25, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
People can no longer rant about bloody murder, says James Alexander. The judges condemned Lucy Connolly as if she were Boadicea, but she was just a Shakespearian plebeian voicing the sentiments of anyone shocked by murder.

JEDDAH, 6 January 2008 — Authorities yesterday allowed a family member to meet detained Saudi blogger Fouad Al-Farhan in prison, Arab News has learned.
Al-Farhan’s father-in-law met him for one hour inside at Jeddah’s Dahban Prison where the Saudi blogger has been held for the past 27 days.
“His spirits are high,” said one of his blogger friends. “He hasn’t been told of the charges (against him). He said he’s interrogated for 15 minutes every day.”
Until yesterday, Al-Farhan’s family had been denied access to the 32-year-old Jeddah-based owner of a small IT business who runs a web journal that discusses Saudi social and political issues.
