For the foreseeable future, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks will be linked together as a result of the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis trade. And by extension, Nico Harrison and Rob Pelinka, the respective general managers of the Mavericks and Lakers, will be linked as well. Since the trade earlier this month, Harrison has received […]

THE lax, open-door border policy of successive British governments has led to the biggest social revolution in our history.
As many as one in four people in the UK will be a migrant within a decade, according to a staggering report released this month.
But if you were hoping to see our gutless national broadcasters tackle such issues head on, one recent, brainless piece of TV programming shows why you should think again.
As the widely-panned Channel 4 series Go Back To Where You Came From proves, those running our television networks aren’t interested in what you think – they’re too busy telling you what you should be thinking instead.
In the face of unprecedented immigration numbers, the British people have proved remarkably tolerant, while harbouring understandable concerns over our national identity, social cohesion, security, living standards and our civic infrastructure.
Yet the ideological enthusiasts for high levels of border arrivals view any differing attitudes as largely the product of bigotry and prejudice.
The task of the political class and its media allies is therefore to change voters’ opinions, rather than address their anxieties.
With the right propaganda, woke officialdom seems to believe that the public can be persuaded to welcome even illegal migrants and the clients of the sickening, exploitative gangs that operate the trafficking racket across the English Channel.
The key to this process of “enlightenment” – which could be dubbed simply “brainwashing” – is to paint anyone coming to Britain as either as either a tortured, fearful victim of persecution or as a diligent potential asset to the workforce.
That is the thinking behind shows like Go Back To Where You Came From, which aims to alter negative perceptions of migrants, particularly those who reach our shores by small boats.
At the same time, the programme seeks to portray opponents of immigration as ignorant louts devoid of compassion or any understanding of our country’s real interests.
There are six participants in the show: two supporters of immigration and four opponents.
At the start, they are split into two groups of three. One group is taken to Mogadishu in Somalia, the other to Raqqa, in Syria, both areas that have experienced brutal conflict in recent years.
From these two bases, the six of them embark on the journey to England, supposedly giving viewers at home an insight into “the perils and privations endured by real refugees”.
Despite all its woke intentions, the programme has been attacked by migrant charities and left-wing critics for its simplistic approach. Some of those complaints are certainly valid.
There is something repellent about using persecution as a form of entertainment. One critic even dubbed the show “torture porn.”
Immigration is probably the biggest issue facing our country and it should be treated seriously, not as a form of pantomime.
Mind you, it is a bit rich of left-wingers to moan about the dangers of a simplistic stance on immigration.
They are the ones who have made it almost impossible to debate this subject rationally with their shrieks of racism at every turn.
Similarly, while ignoring the dangers of Islamists that have come to Britain and Europe, they mock the opinions of the traditional working-class, holding them up for ridicule, abuse or condemnation.
Supporters of an open-door policy wail about right-wing scaremongering on immigration, but as Channel 4 demonstrates, they are only too keen to indulge in emotional bullying.
Masters of manipulation, they trade in feelings rather than facts.
Their universal portrayal of illegal migrants as tragically vulnerable victims of oppression is absurd.

In fact the vast majority of them are young men of military age who have enough money to pay the substantial sums demanded by the traffickers.
Nor are they fleeing persecution by the time they reach France and the Low Countries, all of which are advanced democracies.
Left-wing pressure groups blather about creating “safe routes” across the English Channel but if such routes have restrictions, then how would they differ from the current immigration system?
And if they don’t have restrictions, the term is just code for an anarchic free-for-all.
The Channel 4 types always denounce any attempt to make a link between welfare and migration, but the truth is that levels of benefit dependency in migrant communities are completely unsustainable.
Like so much of the left’s spin on immigration, this programme is an exercise in deceit.
In its sneers and distortions, it will probably end up achieving the very opposite of its objective.
Ryan Reynolds has found himself in a bit of a pickle, but not as much as Blake Lively. The It Ends With Us controversy took an unexpected turn when Lively revealed that she had enlisted Reynolds’ (who had no official involvement in the movie) help in writing the rooftop scene.

SPRING time means spring cleaning, and if organising your wardrobe is on your to-do list Ikea has just the thing.
Shoppers shared their excitement over a budget-friendly buy that will transform how you store your accessories.
So quit tucking scarves into coat collars and looping belts over your wardrobe handles.
Ikea’s Komplement Multi-use Hanger is currently available online and in-store for just £3.
According to manufacturers, this hanger is “perfect for showing off your collection of shawls or to keep belts and ties in order”.
The hanger features 18 connected circles, designed to hold all your accessories.
This affordable item will maximise the storage space in your wardrobe.
“It holds up to 18 different accessories without taking more space than an ordinary hanger,” manufacturers explained.
And it can be used elsewhere in the home too.
They added that the hanger can also be used in bathrooms and “other damp areas indoors”.
This can help you to organise and store your wash cloths and smaller towels.
According to storage experts, a multi-purpose hanger can help to save up to 70% of your space.
The hanger has received an average rating of 4.7 stars out of five from customers.
Ikea shoppers shared their experiences with the hanger on the site’s review section.
“Like many products at Ikea, the genius is maximising functionality through a simplicity in design,” wrote one buyer.
They summed up the multi-purpose hanger as “simple yet effective”.
“Bought this to try and help organise my wardrobe,” wrote another reviewer.
Renovations expert Andy Simms, from MyBuilder.com revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year.
COLOUR DRENCHING
Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space – doors, radiators, and even furniture won’t escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige – once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms.
STATEMENT WALLPAPER
Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme.
BROKEN LIVING PLAN
Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn’t quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces – with a twist. “Broken plan” is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass.
“It’s simple to use. Hang the item, hang your scarves and ties, some things will need to be looped but the material grips fairly well to the material of most of my scarves.”
“You can hang so many different types of things or even use it to display stuff! I’ll be hanging my scarves! So they are easily accessible!” said a third customer.
Another Ikea shopper revealed that they used the hanger to store Christmas decorations.
They described it as a “great item and really useful for lots of things round the house”.
“Stored all my belts and scarves and still have space. Every wardrobe needs one,” wrote one buyer.
“Bought to hang numerous scarves on and is doing the job as expected,” said another reviewer.
Naruto is known for its top-tier jutsu, and Senjutsu is one of them. Not only is it daunting, but it gives the characters a certain edge over the others. We all saw how the knucklehead made it way cooler than Jiraiya by mastering it within a brief period. But he might not be the OG […]
