Britain is an important ally of the United States. Peter Hitchens's comments could apply to many European countries and, to some extent, to the United States.

The US-China Space Race Has Begun
The claim is that we need to go to the Moon so that we can go to Mars. We don't need to go to Mars. It far too risky and to costly to go to a dead, dangerous planet with a 1/3 of the gravity of the Earth. The radiation on Mars and on the way is too dangerous.

Wizards (1977)
This animated film is overtly, or maybe covertly, political.
Ironically, Mark Hamill, from Star Wars, does a voice in the film, which was crushed at the box office by Star Wars.

Anti Scott Adams Strip
There is no evidence that Scott Adams was a Nazi. This strip unfairly labels MAGA as racist.
In 2023, Scott Adams responded to a survey in which only 53% of Black people said that it was okay to be White. He called Blacks a "hate group," said that Whites should get away from Blacks, and further said that he wasn't going to try to help Blacks anymore.
His comments were rightfully called racist. He refused to apologize for them. His comments were wrong. He could have given a more thoughtful response to the survey. He could have also been more understanding about the experiences of black people in America.
He defended his comments by saying that he was being hyperbolic.
He followed up by talking publicly with Black influencers about social issues, apparently trying to improve his image.
Scott Adams died on January 13, 2026, from metastatic prostate cancer.
Regardless of his opinions, I enjoyed and still enjoy his comic strip.
