Black Lives Matter supporting fast-fashion giant Boohoo and its suppliers are facing an import ban from the United States over allegations that the British-based company employs slave labour. During the height of the Black Lives Matter unrest in the U.S. and the UK last summer, Boohoo’s social media account took up the Hollywood trend of posting an image of a black square alongside the hashtag #blackouttuesday in supposed solidarity with the Marxist BLM movement. Just one month prior, however, the company was embroiled in a scandal over the use of alleged slave labour in its factories in the industrial British city of Leicester. Boohoo denies the claims. Now, the company is facing a possible investigation from U.S. Customs and Border Protection following a series of petitions launched by a campaign group that fights against modern-day slavery. British lawyer Duncan Jepson, who runs the Liberty Shared campaign group, told Sky News: “The evidence of Boohoo and forced labour … [Read more...] about BLM Supporting UK Fashion Company Faces U.S. Ban over Slave Labour Claims

A seasoned German journalist has said that his home country is currently experiencing “unfamiliar feelings of post-Brexit envy” as “Brexit Britain races ahead” in its vaccine programme. Thomas Kielinger, the UK correspondent for the German daily Die Welt , described Germany, hitherto heralded for its “much-attested organisational skill” being hit at “the very core of its psyche” after the United Kingdom, which had only just left the Teutonic nation’s “ersatz identity” the EU, speeding along and vaccinating some 20 million people while Germany struggles to cover a fraction of its population. Blaming in part the nature of Germany’s governmental structure — 17 states, comprised of 16 regional and one national — Mr Kielinger nevertheless evokes the concerns of Germans who wonder “why couldn’t their leaders come up with an orderly way of distributing the vaccines?”, adding in an opinion piece for Britain’s Telegraph that the country’s former defence minister and current … [Read more...] about ‘Brexit Britain Races Ahead’ While Germany Fails on Vaccines, Says Veteran German Journo

Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin said Tuesday that treating antifa and white supremacy equally is insulting to the Capitol police officers who were injured or killed during the Jan. 6 riot. “I join my Republican colleagues unequivocally in condemning left-wing violence but let’s stop pretending that the threat of antifa is equivalent to the white supremacist threat. Vandalizing a federal courthouse in Portland is a crime,” Durbin said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday. Durbin said although those who vandalized the courthouse “should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” it’s not equal to the Jan. 6 riot or “mass shootings targeting minority communities.” “This false equivalency is an insult to the brave police officers who were injured or lost their lives on January 6th, as well as dozens of others who have been murdered in white supremacist attacks,” Durbin said.

The chief prosecutor of Sweden’s National Security Case Unit has criticised the country’s terror laws, saying they could create a situation where terrorists flee to the country to escape prosecution in other nations. Prosecutor Per Lindqvist stated that Sweden could become a haven for members of groups like the Islamic State, as the country’s laws are often much less strict than other European Union member states. Lindqvist said the country needed tough laws, telling the Sveriges Radio: “It remains an urgent and almost immediate need, I would say.” “We run the risk of having individuals who come to Sweden to avoid criminal proceedings in other countries. I think that could be a concern in the future, and I think it’s a concern now,” he told the broadcaster. ‘Quite Difficult to Prove’: One Year After Launch, No Charges Made Under New Swedish Counter-Terror Law https://t.co/VUlSx1igom — Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) March 2, 2021 Lindqvist’s warning comes … [Read more...] about Soft Sweden Risks Becoming Refuge for Returning Jihadists Wanting to Avoid Punishment, Warns Prosecutor
