a) A few days ago I reported that one of the Fast Food chains were only serving Halal meat in certain towns; they are being joined by others. Following Five Guys and Pizza Hut, KFC will offer a 100% halal menu in 24 restaurants starting January 21, in the name of “respect for diversity” and “evolving demand”.

b) Diversity High Commission: Macron’s latest bad idea. Among the new developments for 2026, Emmanuel Macron has announced the creation of a High Commission for Diversity.

c) Jordan Bardella, President of France’s right-wing National Rally (NR) and an MEP, is under legal scrutiny over his use of European Parliament funds.

d) A German court will this week revisit a controversial conviction over a political meme that has drawn international attention and reignited debate over the limits of satire and freedom of expression in Europe.

2. I need to redo my pinned tweet on X, possibly on Gab

NW England, my politics are for the traditional Triune Christendom but also for the ordinary people of each nation, irrespective and against all who would harm them … for the restoration of sanity in politics and elimination of wokery, for good men plus good women together as one team. Though my flag is the cross of St George and my anthem is Jerusalem, I have close people in North America and downunder, plus in various European nations. No DMs please, except from known, established online friends.
