Can a country allow mass lawbreaking and retain its integrity? For almost any crime you can think of, the answer is no.

The 25th anniversary of the attacks came with almost no mention of the surviving terrorists and the failure to bring them to justice, writes Douglas Murray. thefp.com/p/douglas-murray-9…

What happens when winning the war against terrorism leads us to forget why we were fighting it?

Last week it was announced that St. Paul’s had made a partnership deal with the nightclub Fabric, which is due to last four years. This will apparently allow St. Paul’s to host raves of exactly the kind that Canterbury Cathedral denied it was having. It is almost as though some slopes are indeed very slippery after all.
Many of us were alerted to this partnership by a crowingly boastful social media post sent out by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. “Fabric. St Paul’s Cathedral. Name a more iconic duo,” Mayor Khan wrote. “Bringing together these two institutions will create a one-of-a-kind experience, pairing world-class music with one of our most special landmarks.”
About which there are a number of things to say. The first is that many of us would not put our capital’s great cathedral and the nightclub Fabric in quite the same bracket. Secondly, the resting place of Lord Nelson and other national heroes is not simply “iconic”. Thirdly, I very much doubt that the nightclub organizers in question can provide “world-class music” unless they think that someone spinning tracks from a DJ booth is the equivalent of the Vienna Philharmonic playing Bruckner. And finally this isn’t a “one-of-a-kind experience.”

German leaders enabled the rise of a populist party. Now those leaders cling to power by branding their challengers as extreme, writes @DouglasKMurray.

The most obvious and necessary thing to say about Khan’s tweet is that it is, as ever, one-sided. A number of people pointed out online that some might regard the London Central Mosque as being an equally ‘iconic’ venue.
Still, I suspect that neither the mosque in Regent’s Park nor any other Islamic house of worship would allow the kind of sacrilege that the Church of England seems so keen to foist on its own cultural and religious inheritance. I
f they did, I doubt that Khan or any other prominent Muslim would celebrate the ‘one-of-a-kind event’.

Lies and conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks have become mainstream over the past 25 years, writes @DouglasKMurray. The future of the U.S. may depend on refuting them, he argues.
