Yes, I know it's the eve of Thanksgiving in America, but it's me, live! Mark Steyn of that ilk - and not dead yet, despite the best efforts of both the University of Vermont Medical Center and the District of Columbia Superior Court.

The lights stay on at SteynOnline, so, while everybody else in America is at the airport having his pumpkin pie prodded and pressed by the TSA to see whether it conforms to federal prohibitions on moisture and succulence, I'll be back for another midweek edition of our Clubland Q&A, taking questions from Mark Steyn Club members around the planet. The fun starts at 3pm North American Eastern/8pm Greenwich Mean Time. We'll try to pin down the rest of the time zones below, but do, as they say, check local listings.

On today's show I'm happy to take questions on any of the topics we've covered in recent days, and some of the ones we haven't. I see an exhibit on Jewish life in old Berlin has just been burned to the ground. It was called Sie waren Nachbarn - "They were our neighbors." Unfortunately, post-war Germans imported a whole bunch of new neighbors, and now the exhibition is toast. As you know, I've said for many years that the veneer of civilization is always thin, but these days it's fraying pretty badly - not just in remote French villages but in national capitals:

Wild scene tonight as a large group of pro Palestinian protesters crashed Justin Trudeau's $1700 per plate Liberal fundraiser.

Protesters blocked entry to the venue, Ottawa police seemed unable or unwilling to intervene.

Justin thinks he's safe because he's one of them. They don't seem to share that view.

~I'm also happy to take any questions on my trial at the DC Superior Court, which has now been rescheduled for January 16th, the day after Martin Luther King Day. We'll see how that works out. Meanwhile, I thank all of you who have snapped up one of our limited-edition, individually numbered (and signed) SteynOnline Liberty Sticks. The Liberty Stick features both Magna Carta and the US Constitution - so you can now wave that constitution at whomsoe'er you like. And, amazingly enough, our Liberty Stick is not manufactured round the back of the Wuhan Institute of Virology like everything else, but smack dab in the USA - in Minnesota, to be precise. You can order one here.

~Thank you also for your kind words about our exclusive screen premiere of my video deposition, under oath, in the matter of Mann vs Steyn. You can see Part One here, Part Two here, and the thrilling finale here. Way better than the new season of The Crown.

~Anybody can be mired in lawsuits on one side of the Atlantic. But, at my level of the game, a chap expects to be mired on at least two sides. So I'm also happy today to take any questions on my pushback against the UK state censor Ofcom in the English High Court over their "rulings" against me for my coverage of the Covid vaccines. I stand on the truth of what I said - which is more than Matt Hancock, Boris Johnson, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallence et al can do. The case is officially called:

The King on the application of Mark Steyn
vs
The Office of Communications

Alas, His Majesty is leaving it to me and my KC to do most of the heavy lifting. You can read our second Statement of Claim here.

Many viewers, listeners and readers have asked how they can support this important free-speech case. There are several ways, including:

a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;

b) buying a near-and-dear one a SteynOnline gift certificate;

c) ordering a copy of my latest book, The Prisoner of Windsor (you won't regret it); or

d) snapping up one of the above-mentioned limited-edition SteynOnline Liberty Sticks.

~Whether or not you're a member of The Mark Steyn Club, you can listen to our Clubland Q&A live as it happens wherever you chance to be on this turbulent earth: Club membership is required only to ask a question. We love to hear from brand new members, so if you've joined this week, either for a full year or a see-how-it-goes experimental quarter, do shoot me a head-scratcher for today's show. But, if you're not interested in joining, no worries, as they say in Oz: We seek no unwilling members - and as always the show is free to listen to, so we hope you'll want to tune in.

As soon as we go live, members should log-in and submit their queries via our comment form below - and I'll answer them as-it-happens on the audio livestream that should magically appear above (or possibly below - I forget which). And, if you disagree with my response, then let rip in the comments, and I'll endeavour to address a couple of the objections as we go along.

Clubland Q&A is a special production for The Mark Steyn Club. We're not paywalling off SteynOnline or any of that nonsense - and in fact this site now offers more free content than ever before in our twenty-year history. But Club membership does confer a few benefits, starting with participation in our weekly Q&As.

So see you back here live this afternoon at 3pm North American Eastern Time. That's 4pm in the Canadian Maritimes, half-past-four in Newfoundland - and, beyond the Americas, 8pm in London and Dublin; 9pm in Paris and Berlin; 10pm in Kiev and Tel Aviv, because that's the zone where they hold all the wars; 11pm in Moscow; 11.30pm in Teheran, for all you Newfoundlanders who move to Iran for the half-hour time zone; 1.45am in Kathmandu, for all you Iranians who move to Nepal to check out the quarter-hour time zone; 4am in Singapore, Honkers and Perth (sorry about that); 7am in Sydney and Melbourne; 9am in Auckland and even deeper into Thursday in His Majesty's Dominions across the Pacific.

But, whatever hour it is where you are, we do hope you'll be able to join us. To listen to the livestream, simply click the "play" icon on the audio player (in certain browsers, the audio will start auto-playing). And to pose a question simply use the comment form below.
