If It's Tuesday This Must Be the Belgian Stabber

~Welcome to the capital city of the European Union:

JUST IN: Two Alabama women and their children were attacked on a train in Brussels, Belgium for being American

The attacker reportedly approached them with a knife and asked if they were American, when they confirmed, he threatened to kiII them. pic.twitter.com/cD7Ybhxtsk

The train is filled with both Flemings and Walloons, but, in a rare display of comity, both seem, objectively, to be on the side of the knifeperson. Perhaps the State Department could arrange for any American tourist in Europe to be issued with his own Vance-sized Milano motorcade. On current debt levels, the difference would be entirely marginal.

~Rupert Lowe is doing a magnificent job with his "rape gang inquiry" - and, as I said a few days ago, it does my heart good to see our friend Sammy Woodhouse up there seated alongside him - as opposed to the last "inquiry" where the Government's plan was to have Sammy seated next to Rotherham bi-guy rapist Lord Ahmed. That's right: pre-Rupert Lowe, they were putting the rapists on the investigatory panels. I was going to call Lord Ahmed "Labour's paedo peer", but I realised that that doesn't narrow it down much: see Sir Keir's furious face at PMQs after Mrs Badenoch accused him of leading a ministry of "paedophile-apologists". Bottom line:

It is all so much worse than anybody realises. pic.twitter.com/Cqm4wdBwgH — The Rape Gang Inquiry (@rapeganginquiry) February 12, 2026

It is much worse. One aspect of the inquiry whose scale I was not previously aware of is that, while the gangs are local (to Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham, Telford, Banbury, Oxford, etc), the network of cooperative Pakistani rape clans is national, like fraternal relations between geographically delineated underworld mobs in Chicago.

As Steyn tends to do, he will begin reporting an event, then go way off topic, examining various theories surrounding the event.

I was Kiev, Ukraine in 2016. My bank account was frozen. The American embassy there was about as helpful as a box of rocks.

“knifeperson”

I trust Mark is being sarcastic...this “gunperson” stuff has been ridiculed around the globe the last few days.

“”The train is filled with both Flemings and Walloons,””

Lost me here - guess only Brits know what he’s talking about. I used to enjoy his writing but if this is HIM now, think I’ll pass..

“Flemish (northern, Dutch-speaking) and Walloons (southern, French-speaking) are the two main cultural groups in Belgium, deeply divided by language, history, and economics.”

What should be the citizenship of Belgium. Too bad there are others there now.
