Yay Brexit!

Brendan O’Neill in Spiked enthuses that Brexit is superior to just about anything else in the world. “There should be street parties” on the 10th anniversary of the popular vote to withdraw from the EU, he writes. “Let the bells peal for that momentous day when in our millions we said No to globalism.” The continuing surfeit of saboteurs and naysayers among Britain’s “idiot elites”, O’Neill snorts, are gripped by Brexit Derangement Syndrome.

The Big Easy Points the Way to Better Schools

Long a cliché of comprehensive civic failure, New Orleans is emerging as an improbable guiding light for restoring a broken school system and raising kids to nation-leading performance. How? As Paul Vallas explains in City Journal, by emphasizing charter schools and opening the system to parental choice, sending kids flooding to the best schools and forcing the rest to compete. As Vallas quips, “New Orleans demonstrates that children benefit most when adults lose the power to preserve failure.”

How to Run Psy-Ops Against Your Own Citizens

Mario Laghos in The European Conservative describes a terrifying phenomenon straight out of sci-fi: the UK government’s “National Risk Unit” that, following violent crimes, terrorist attacks or other atrocities, deploys ready-made “recovery programmes” that channel victims’ responses into formless mourning and stage seemingly spontaneous “inter-faith vigils” – complete with pre-written signs and fake mourners. It’s all aimed at suppressing genuine human feelings like righteous anger and minimizing punishment of actual criminals.

A Spite That Knows No Bounds

Gratingly awful global scold Greta Thunberg’s latest stunt is to turn on her own motherland. Sweden has been very good to her, but the former social-democratic paradise’s mugging by the realities of uncontrolled immigration do not sit well with the keffiyeh-clad rabblerouser. “For years, Sweden took more asylum seekers per capita than any other country in Europe,” writes Fredrik Karrholm in The Spectator. “Now asylum numbers have fallen to their lowest level since 1985.”
