If you were a British Jew observing Yom Kippur, consider yourself lucky. You will not have switched on any "mainstream" media until after sunset, so you will have missed all the usual bollocks that infests the first hours of coverage. By 12.31pm the BBC had crack reporter Anna Jameson on the scene:
I'm currently standing at the police cordon just on the edge of Middleton Road, where the incident has taken place.
Hold the front page! An "incident" has "taken place"!

By the time any UK Jews were listening, we were at Stage Two. The Welsh Choirboy of the Week - after the usual delays from officialdom - had been identified as "35-year-old Jihad al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent". This striking formulation came from what are laughably known as "the authorities" and was presumably approved by the Home Office, possibly after one of those super-butch-sounding COBRA briefings Sir Keir Starmer flew back from Twinks R Us in Kiev to be briefly briefed on.
So, by "Syrian descent", you mean, like, young Jihad's great-grandpa came from Aleppo? Er, no: Mr al-Shamie was born in Syria, all the way back in the mists of time in the 1990s, so that's quite the rapid descent. He was, as a matter of fact and law, a Syrian citizen, right at the moment he killed his Jews. Oh, but don't worry: he "became" British in 2006, the name Jihad apparently being no obstacle to the acquisition of UK citizenship. Was he in the "Prevent" database? Are you kidding? With a name like Jihad rather than, say, Nigel?

"No," I said. "Unless you're a centenarian with an advanced case of the monkeypox, we'll all live to see it."
That's British for "some people did something".
Even 9/11 was seldom named “attack”...

Give up Christ and your firearms and this is what you get.
“Steyn - one of the best writers on the planet”
Steyn is the journalist who should have multiple Pulitzer prizes, if they meant anything and if they were fairly judged.
There is no comparison with anyone else. He does in print what Rush Limbaugh did on radio.
That’s a great way to put it!
I REALLY miss Rush. My radio was always on from Noon to 3PM Mon-Fri , and Mark Steyn was the Finest “Sinister Foreign Guest Host” in all the land.
Instead they are awarded to frauds like Thomas Friedman.
