GB News: Turkish restaurant has licence stripped after immigration probe finds illegal workers being paid with 'food and housing'
Mems Mezze, a Turkish restaurant in Kent, has lost its license after an immigration investigation revealed illegal employment practices, including staff being paid with food and accommodation instead of wages. The Home Office fined the establishment £120,000 for exploiting workers.
The owner, Mehmet Suzgun, claims she leased the business and is contesting the license review, asserting she is not responsible for the violations. The restaurant may face further penalties, including reduced operating hours or complete revocation of its license.

Liberty Nation News: Republicans Want Universities to Pay Their Fair Share - Liberty Nation News
House Republicans proposed a bill to increase taxes on university endowments, aiming to hold elite institutions accountable for their wealth. Tax rates would vary based on endowment size, with some universities facing hikes up to 21%. Critics argue this could negatively impact educational funding.
The bill reflects ongoing tensions around tax fairness, particularly for affluent universities that receive taxpayer support. Advocates for the proposal suggest that if these institutions promote progressive policies, they should also contribute more to the public good.

Front Page Magazine: Muslim Students Association Forces Cancellation of Salman Rushdie Speech Over Blasphemy
Salman Rushdie remains a target of Islamic terrorism, facing ongoing harassment from Muslim groups after a stabbing attack left him severely injured. His recent decision to withdraw from a speaking engagement at Claremont McKenna College followed pressure from the Muslim Students Association and CAIR, both linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
These groups criticized Rushdie's work, claiming it undermines Muslim dignity and values. Their actions reflect a broader trend of enforcing blasphemy laws in academic and public spaces, with little media condemnation of their campaigns against Rushdie.
Le Monde: French playwright Marc Goldberg: 'Israel exists, the Palestinians exist. The only real question is how they can co-exist'
The narrative that denies the existence of a Palestinian people suggests that the Arabs in the former British Mandate of Palestine were simply indistinguishable from other regional Arab populations. Following the 1948 partition by the UN, local Arabs and neighboring countries rejected Israel's existence, leading to multiple conflicts and the displacement of many Palestinians.
Despite the historical context, the article argues that the Palestinian population's shared experiences as refugees and their common history affirm their identity. This challenges the notion that Palestinians are merely a construct, highlighting their reality as a distinct group with a collective destiny.
