News round-up: Radical expats, Church of England anti-whiteness, and Jordan Peterson – UnHerd

Are American expats radicalising Portugal?

Complaints about immigration have sparked a surprising Right-wing moment in Portugals latest elections. The immigrants in question? Remote workers and passport bros, mostly Americans, who have flocked to the European country by the thousands to enjoy half-priced rent.

Portugals centre-right party is set to lead a minority government, with the socialists coming in second place. But the countrys Right-wing Chega party performed unusually well and could have considerable sway in the new government, thanks in large part to complaints about immigration and economic woes. Time will tell if Right-wingers will give expats the boot.

For those wishing the Church of England were a little more devout, it will come as no consolation that its senior clergy are increasingly signed up to the gospel of Black Lives Matter. Archdeacon of Liverpool Miranda Threlfall-Holmes was ratioed on social media last night after she postedabout her realisation that what the Church needs is more anti-whiteness.

Having attended a conference on the subject in the autumn, Threlfall-Holmes (who is white) claims she realised that whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender. For anyone confused, the cleric explained that lets have anti-whiteness, & lets smash the patriarchy. Sounds good. But whats this? Thats not anti-white, she added. Thats anti-oppression. Bemused commenters on Threlfall-Holmess post were told to seek out the training. When is anti-whiteness not anti-white? Well, Audre Lorde does move in mysterious ways

If you thought vaccine debates were behind us, think again. Theres a new clip doing the rounds of Jordan Peterson getting testy with YouTube personality Destiny over the safety and efficacy of Covid jabs.

Peterson, in a characteristically attention-grabbing jacket, said the vaccine wasnt technically even a vaccine, and that, while mandates have always existed, the scale and speed of Covid vaccine mandates were entirely unprecedented. Whatever the truth, its unlikely well be getting it from either Destiny or Peterson.
