As lockdown eases, it's become clear that nitrous oxide is the new recreational drug of choice for many young people in Britain. But what does it do to users - and why is it legal to buy?

An epidemic of the recreational use of laughing gas - commonly called 'hippy crack' - is sweeping across the UK.

And the magnitude of the issue has been thrown into the spotlight following the relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions.

As groups have taken over parks and beaches, campaigners have been stunned by the sheer amount of discarded nitrous oxide canisters.

Known colloquially as 'whippets' or 'chargers', 236 of them were collected in just half an hour in a car park at Seaburn beach near Sunderland. During a clear-up of pleasure spot Longniddry Bents in East Lothian, 533 were found. And police in Swansea, South Wales arrested three people in a car with 1,800 canisters.

chronicle herald trigger warning canadian flag
As North America continues to cower and capitulate to the mob, a cowardly Canadian newspaper has taken grovelling before our woke overlords to the next level.

The Chronicle Herald out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has actually run a trigger warning for printing the Canadian flag in its Saturday edition.

They write: "To our readers: inside today's edition, on page A9, you'll find a Canadian flag to clip and post to help celebrate July 1. We understand the flag doesn't mean the same thing to everyone, however, we hope our readers recognize their ability to play a role in shaping Canada's future is a freedom worth acknowledging."

Forbes censors award-winning environmentalist's apology over three-decade 'climate scare' - so here it is

Forbes has decided to unpublish an article by award-winning climate activist Michael Shellenberger, in which he apologizes "for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years."

Schellenberger, a progressive, was named one of TIME's "Heroes of the Environment," while his book Break Through was heralded by WIRED as potentially "the best thing to happen to environmentalism since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring."

His book Apocalypse Never was widely praised as an 'eye-opening, fact-based approach' to climate science and 'engaging and well-researched.'

Comment: While the author seems to be rather off in some of his pronouncements, the big picture is on-track - that climate alarmism is a dangerous cult that is as misinformed as it is radical, unnecessarily scaring the public and blaming them for their climate sins. One hopes his book will get some traction and make some of the radicals question their assumptions. No wonder Forbes scrubbed it.

Actor Terry Crews has faced fury for pleading with the Black Lives Matter movement "not to morph into black lives better." Twitter quickly found the post, literally urging love "for every race, creed and ideology," problematic.

The star of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' tweeted on Tuesday that he considers every "child of God" his "brother and sister," regardless of their race, religion or ideology. "We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn't morph into #blacklivesbetter," the African-American star added.

Nearly 50% of US working age adults unemployed - and it's going to get worse

There is a lot of talk about the "unemployment rate" these days, but the way that it is calculated has become so convoluted that it is not really that meaningful anymore. Even during the so-called "good times", more than 100 million U.S. adults were not working, but we were told that the unemployment rate was the lowest that it had been in decades. Of course now everything has changed.

Since this pandemic began, more than 47 million Americans have filed new claims for unemployment benefits, and the mainstream media is going to make sure that fear of COVID-19 continues to paralyze our society for the foreseeable future.

In this article, I would like to discuss the employment-population ratio. According to Wikipedia, the employment-population ratio is "a statistical ratio that measures the proportion of the country's working age population that is employed". I believe that it is a far more accurate measurement than the "unemployment rate" is, and we have seen this ratio move quite dramatically over the past couple of months. According to CNBC, the employment-population ratio hit 52.8 percent in May, and that means that 47.2 percent of all working age Americans did not have a job...

An activist and victim of female genital mutilation (FGM) living in Berlin told RT "big action" is needed to tackle the issue in Germany, which has seen a rapid rise in women and girls forced to undergo the torturous procedure.

Artist and activist Fatou Mandiang Diatta underwent the dangerous procedure in her native Senegal when she was about four or five years old.

"I remember how my mum asked me not to cry. Her face was so serious in front of me. I remember two ladies - one was holding my hand and the other one my legs. And there was a third one who did something quite painful..."

Comment: The similarly barbaric practice on infant boys also continues, although it isn't met with the same outrage despite equally traumatizing and deleterious health effects: Iceland calling for amendments banning boys' circumcision, introducing 6-year jail term for offenders

Under sworn testimony, Planned Parenthood officials admit infanticide occurs in organ harvesting

In a new video released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), Planned Parenthood and abortion industry officials give sworn testimony describing how babies born alive with beating hearts in their facilities are then harvested for organs.

Since CMP's first undercover videos, filmed by journalist and activist David Daleiden, were released in 2015, Planned Parenthood has denied that its facilities sold fetal body parts from abortions, and that their fetal tissue research programs and late-term abortion practices are in total compliance with the law.

Now, videos of witnesses under oath show that not only did the abortion giant profit from the sale of fetal organs, but that Planned Parenthood and its business partner, Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR), violated federal law that mandates a fetus born with a beating heart is a human being equally entitled to protections under the law.

"Placing an order for body parts from a born alive infant uses the means of interstate commerce to obtain the death of a human being through organ harvesting," Daleiden says in the video. "If the federal law is applied equally to born-alive infants, this is murder for hire."

If you need further proof that the mainstream media is censoring truthful news, look no further than Forbes' June 7, 2020, article on a Norwegian report that claims to present proof that SARS-CoV-2 is a laboratory creation.

The article was initially published with the headline "Norway Scientist Claims Report Proves Coronavirus Was Lab-Made."1,2 Shortly thereafter, that headline was altered to "Controversial Coronavirus Lab Origin Claims Dismissed by Experts."3

In its recent blitz on 'hateful content', Reddit has dropped any pretence of fairness. The site now condones hatred and calls to violence, as long as they're directed at the right "majority."

Reddit is among the world's most popular websites and home to more than a million communities, or 'subreddits'. As of Monday, 2,000 of these have been banned for "promoting hate." Among them are r/The_Donald, a popular community of Trump supporters, and r/ChapoTrapHouse, an offshoot of the leftist podcast by the same name.

Along with the bans came an overhaul of the site's content policy. "Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence," the policy reads. "Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned."
