The Placebo Effect
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN I was at school with a young man who excelled at rugby but not a lot else. He admits today that he’s still not the sharpest tool in the box but he has turned into a gentleman and a success story, he has an army of faithful friends and is the father of three beautiful daughters. Let us call him Tom. Tom … Continue reading The Placebo Effect
Anger Management
BY LAURENCE FITZGERALD It all started twenty years ago. I remember it clearly like it was yesterday. It was a Sunday. Usually that meant a lie-in. Yet on the morning of the 31st August 1997 it was different, on that date Sunday mornings changed forever. The usual sequence of events was violated. On that day my mother abruptly roused me from my slumber, earlier than … Continue reading Anger Management
Labour Calls Farmers Irrelevant
BY CSM EDITORIAL On June 13th Emma Bean wrote a piece on LabourList (the equivalent of Conservative Home) suggesting that the Labour Party should focus its efforts on Scotland, on Jewish Britain and on the Countryside, where it performed weakly at the General Election on the 8th. Let us put Ruth Davidson and Labour Antisemitism aside for one moment. Regards the Countryside, this is what … Continue reading Labour Calls Farmers Irrelevant
Free Speech & Finsbury Park
BY SAM WHITE As news of the barbaric terror attack near Finsbury Park Mosque unfolded this week, the country convulsed. Another slaughter, but this time different. Just as brutal and horrifying as previous attacks, but committed not by a Muslim, but against Muslims. One person killed and ten injured after they left the mosque late at night, ploughed into by an anti-Muslim terrorist in a … Continue reading Free Speech & Finsbury Park
Ways to Soothe Sunburn
BY ANASTASIA CHOO As most of us basked in the hot sunny weather that hit our shores over the weekend, let’s be honest, how many of us remembered to apply sun screen? The Met Office has issued a Level Three Heatwave warning which will remain in place until Thursday this week as UK temperatures will remain high. We don’t need to be reminded to apply … Continue reading Ways to Soothe Sunburn
Bloody Cyclists
BY ANDY COLLIDGE Now this as a subject matter is in a class of its own, generating a multitude of different opinions. These opinions are normally defined by age, amount of time holding a full driving license, how much time spent on the road, and of course, as politically incorrect as it may sound, the gender of the person involved. As a hotel owner and … Continue reading Bloody Cyclists
The Struggle is in the Streets
BY PROFESSOR COLIN TALBOT On Sunday 11th June I tweeted this: Guess what happens the day after? Crystal ball? No, just understanding the mindset of Bennite (Corbyn) and Trotskyist (McDonnell) politicos. To explain. In an earlier post I argued in detail that both Trots and Bennites think that real change only comes about through mass mobilization, not through Parliament. Indeed ‘parliamentary struggle’ they see as … Continue reading The Struggle is in the Streets
Day of Rage
BY JOHN ISMAEL Labour’s activist arm Momentum are planning a ‘RAGE’ riot in London on Wednesday during the Queens speech. At a time when London is already reeling from the London Bridge terror attacks, Grenfell Tower fire and Sunday’s Finsbury Park attack on Finsbury Park mosque-goers. Perhaps it is the hot weather or maybe they are just deluded? Either which way they are incredibly selfish. … Continue reading Day of Rage
Hinchingbrooke
BY CHARLES EVANS Hinchingbrooke House in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was built around an 11th-century nunnery. After the Reformation, it passed into the hands of the Cromwell family, and subsequently, became the home of the Earls of Sandwich, including John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, reputedly the “inventor” of the modern sandwich. On 8 March 1538, Richard Williams (alias Cromwell) had the grant of the nunnery of … Continue reading Hinchingbrooke
