The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The fact that most outsiders are unable to distinguish between the people of Israel and its government is tragic.

There has been a broad effort to conflate criticism of the current government with "anti-antisemitism", to make it a crime to criticize the government.

US political commentators denied entry to UK by Home Office

Two left-wing content creators have been blocked from entering the United Kingdom after they said the Home Office revoked their visas.

US citizens Hasan Piker, who is a Twitch streamer and political commentator and Cenk Uygur, who co-founded and hosts left-wing populist show "The Young Turks" on YouTube, were both due to speak at the SXSW London festival and an event in Oxford.

Uygur's show, The Young Turks, covers topics including US politics, global conflict, sports and pop culture and is one of the most popular shows of its kind on YouTube, attracting hundreds of millions of monthly views.

The Times reports that the decision to block Uygur is based on a range of things, including what the paper calls "antisemitic tropes, such as the claim that Israel controls America" and comments about grooming gangs he made on Piers Morgan's YouTube show.

BBC: Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur blocked from entering UK by Home Office

All very reminiscent of when the Bush junta banned Yusuf, who had been speaking out against Bush's wars, claiming some charity he donates to "supports terrorism".
