close Video Threat of cancel culture to freedom in America 'The Madness of Crowds' author Douglas Murray provides insight on ‘Fox and Friends.’ We’ve heard a lot about "cancel culture" of late. From debates about what it is and if it really exists to a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) dedicated to it, politicos of all stripes have weighed in. Just last week, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called for congressional hearings about its threat. The definition of cancel culture is tough to nail down but, fundamentally, it’s about punishing someone for something they’ve said or done in the past that is deemed unacceptable. This judgement is often a result of changing cultural norms and mores by a subgroup of people who are often unaccountable to the broader public. The punishments vary but usually involve a loss of money or status – ensuring someone is fired or de-platformed , blackballing a company or product, invalidating awards or honors. TUCKER CARLSON: THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DOOMSDAY CULT AND THE GROWTH OF THE POLICE STATE Much of the recent coverage around cancel culture has been focused on high-profile cases of people in the public eye – the firing of Disney star Gina Carano for social media posts, President Trump’s social media ban, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., having his book dropped by its original publisher. But our concerns should be less about whether a celebrity gets booted from a show or a senator has to change book publishers – since there’s only so much capacity for outrage and discussions around the chilling of free speech – and focus our attention on the many real crises happening below our collective radar.

Queen Elizabeth II won’t watch Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey: report

Queen Elizabeth II reportedly has no plans to watch the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's explosive interview Sunday with Oprah Winfrey . Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will sit down for a two-hour, tell-all interview with Winfrey where they will finally share their side of the story behind their departure from duties as senior members of the royal family. Although the couple is expected to air some grievances about their time as royals, a report from The Sunday Times notes that the queen and the rest of the royal family are hoping to distance themselves from the increasingly toxic PR battle with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by focusing on larger issues. As a result, the queen is reportedly unlikely to even watch the interview Sunday. The queen will reportedly fill her schedule this coming week with engagements designed to show that both her and the family’s focus is on the coronavirus pandemic and getting the country back on its feet as vaccines roll out, not potential fallout from the TV interview. PIERS MORGAN CALLS MEGHAN MARKLE 'DISINGENUOUSNESS,’ PONDERS ‘BAN’ ON BRITISH PRINCES MARRYING AMERICANS A senior source told the outlet, "the mood in the family is: can everyone just shut the hell up and can we just get on with the day job?" Queen Elizabeth II will reportedly not watch Oprah Winfrey's interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. (Reuters) Another source close to the queen added: "I don't think anyone should expect Her Majesty to stay up and watch the interview. She won't. What should Monday really be about? Children going back to school, the effectiveness of the vaccine programme. These are the big issues the royal family wants to focus on, not news about the circus that is Oprah and all ...

Queen Elizabeth II stressed the importance of unity and family in a royal address that aired just hours before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's sit-down with Oprah Winfrey is set to air. In a message broadcast on Sunday, Britain's monarch also touched on the role of technology in keeping people connected with friends and family amid the global coronavirus pandemic . Although it came hours before the highly anticipated interview, the queen made no mention of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex or their upcoming interview with Winfrey, which will Sunday evening in the U.S., and on Monday in the U.K. "The testing times experienced by so many have led to a deeper appreciation of the mutual support and spiritual sustenance we enjoy by being connected to others," the queen said in her audio message. People have become used to "connecting and communicating by our innovative technology" that allows them to "stay in touch with friends, family, colleagues, and counterparts," she said. Online communication "transcends boundaries or division, helping any sense of distance to disappear."

Despite palace fears, Meghan Markle has only ‘kind words’ for Kate Middleton in Oprah interview
close Video Fox News Flash top headlines for March 6 Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Buckingham Palace is terrified that Meghan Markle will say nasty things about Kate Middleton on Sunday’s interview with Oprah Winfrey — but sources assure The Post that the duchess offers only "kind words" for her sister-in-law in the otherwise bombshell sit-down. Markle dissing Middleton — and exposing the dirty details of their notorious rift — is feared as something that would wreak "vast" damage to the British monarchy, the U.K.’s Sun newspaper reported Saturday. One scared source even described the interview as equivalent to a "nuclear option" for Markle, the Sun reported. PRINCE HARRY BRANDED 'THE HOSTAGE' BY ROYAL STAFFERS BEFORE MARRYING MEGHAN MARKLE: REPORT But a source with knowledge of the Oprah interview, set to air Sunday, tells The Post that Buckingham Palace has nothing to worry about in that regard. Meghan and Prince Harry had only "kind words" about Prince William and Kate, a CBS insider told The Post, denying the Oprah sitdown would expose the extent of any rift between the quartet. Still, royal watchers are waiting in trepidation for any bombs that might fall Middleton’s way, particularly given Markle’s outspoken displeasure over her time in the U.K., which she will describe as "almost unsurvivable." "If she has chosen to speak candidly about her time with Kate then the damage that could be done to the monarchy is vast," royal sources told The UK Sun . "She has the power to lay bare just how bad things really were between her, Harry, William and Kate." During the marathon chat, Markle is also expected to discuss the breakdown of her relationship with dad Thomas Markle, who didn’t even attend the royal wedding.

Delingpole: Actor Laurence Fox Launches Mayoral Bid With Must-Watch ‘Reclaim Your Freedom’ Video
Actor Laurence Fox is standing for election as Mayor of London. Quite what chance he’ll have against the brutal election machine of incumbent Sadiq Khan is hard to say. But even if Fox doesn’t succeed it will have been worth it just for this brilliant, inspirational campaign video. Reclaim London. Reclaim your freedom. pic.twitter.com/6p6Sj92A5p — Laurence Fox (@LozzaFox) March 6, 2021 All right, so Fox is an actor – best known, before the world of Luvviedom cancelled him for WrongSpeak, for his role as DS Hathaway in the long-running detective series Lewis – and can convincingly recite a script in one take while walking at the same time. But while the style is a lot more polished than you’d get from almost any politician, what really sets this video apart is the content. Right. Here we go. It’s been a strange twelve months in which we’ve give up so many of our personal freedoms in the name of the common good. Now whether you agree or disagree with how things have been handled the one thing that we can agree on is that we find ourselves here now, today. Not tomorrow and not yesterday, thank God, today. So what are you going to do? Well, I am going to stand to be Mayor of this beautiful city that stands at the heart of this warm, welcoming and tolerant nation. Why? Well, I want to reclaim your freedom. I want to reclaim your freedom to work when you want to work, where you want to work and how you want to work and remove all the obstacles that stand between you and rebuilding after these lockdowns. And I want to reclaim your freedom to move. To be with whoever you want to be with and when you want to be with them. Your fundamental human need to be together. In sickness and in health. And to never take that freedom away again. Nobody should say their last goodbyes to anybody on an iPad ever again. And importantly I want to reclaim your freedom to speak, to be yourself, to be part of the national conversation, to cherish your history ...
