BY ALEX STORY Few stories highlight our country’s fall more clearly than that of Henry Nowak’s murder. Henry was stabbed five times with a shastar, an eight-inch Sikh ceremonial blade by Vickrum Digwa. As Henry bled on the streets of Southampton, the police arrived and arrested him. He died in the early hours of December 3rd, 2025, begging for help. His last words were “I … Continue reading Enemies of the State
BY ANDREW MILNE One August, I swam across a lake in Bavaria with my two sons aged twelve and six respectively. Bavaria has its own treacherous weather systems. When we reached the other side – surrounded by dark cliffs and mysterious forests – a thunder storm rumbled into action. Rain jetted down pocking the mere’s surface. All of us were good swimmers but the prospect of … Continue reading The Makerfield Con
BY ALEX STORY The United Kingdom is no such thing. The disingenuous promises of the recent past, such as devolution, multiculturalism, and “gender” (also known as the politics of biology), have disunited the country. These have created irreparable fissures across our country’s body politic. The carefully laid mortar, built over centuries between the state’s institutional building blocks, is coming off. However, in the meaningless vacuum … Continue reading Progress Back to Naught
BY STEPHEN PAX LEONARD It is no secret that the recent local election results were catastrophic for the Labour Party. Of course, this comes as no big surprise. Labour’s policies are bankrupting the country. Yields on UK government bonds show that the market has lost trust in Britain. More or less everything is impoverished, broken or dysfunctional. Britain has become a bloated welfare state whose … Continue reading Give Oxford, Cambridge and Camden What They Voted For
BY ANDREW MILNE What happens to Israel today is what happens to the rest of the West tomorrow. ‘It is time for the silent majority in the UK to raise their voices,’ says Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, speaking after the stabbing of two Jews in Golders Green. I have a problem with the Jews: I adore them. I love them like the brothers and … Continue reading The Night Hounds of Upper Galilee
BY STEPHEN PAX LEONARD Let’s face a few difficult facts, the kind of facts that trigger that ever so British response: “Oh, well, we had best talk about something else” (before ‘heating the pot’ in the hope of redirecting the conversation to less saturnine matters). Over a short period of time, our country has become in parts unrecognisable. The apple orchards have been replaced with … Continue reading The Unforgiveable Scarring of Britain
BY ALEX STORY Truth is the first casualty of war. Opinions on a conflict depend deeply on the prevailing culture, erasing nuance in the process. The less of it there is, the easier it is to convince yourself of your righteousness and your opponents’ wickedness. For instance, the current Iranian question divides the world into three main groups: The first staunchly believes that the Israeli … Continue reading War, Truth & Revelation
BY ALEX STORY By Munich, on the Isar, a fast-moving river, every summer, mostly in the sun, hundreds of large rafts float down one after the other, transported by the stream. Each carries up to forty people, a sausage & beer stand, and a music band. Men wear lederhosen, women dirndl, the traditional dress that shows just enough to make you wonder but too little … Continue reading The Fragile Raft
BY ALEX STORY “Whose you for?”, asked the rotund lass with a swarm of multi-hued father-less children running around the front porch. “Cambridge”, I replied. “Tough luck, chuck. I’m Oxford”. The colours had a lot to do with it, I discovered, and the fact that the Boat Race, like the Old Queen, had always been around. The lady and her children watched it every year, … Continue reading Ignorant Self-Righteousness
BY ALEX STORY “Are you thinking what we are thinking?” asked the billboard close to Denton town centre, close to Manchester. Not far from the billboard, as the Conservative candidate for Denton & Reddish for the 2005 General Election, I was talking to three ladies. One was 28, the other 15, the last laid in a pram. “Are you sisters?” I asked. “No”, roared the … Continue reading Accelerating Towards the Cliffs
BY STEPHEN PAX LEONARD Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is the Underground Man Dostoyevsky’s Notes from Underground is the pseudonymous monologue of a spiteful and bitter former government official who inherited a sufficient amount of money not to need to work again and devoted his life to vice. Dostoyevsky’s philosophical novella is concerned with the hypothetical utopia where all of man’s needs are met, where everything is safe … Continue reading The Underground Man
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN One must, in this digital age, develop a hide as thick as a Hereford bullock’s to withstand the daily onslaught of technological ‘marvels’. The latest abomination to clatter regularly into my inbox, courtesy of some Silicon Valley simpleton who doubtless thinks a wellington is a type of pastry, is the ‘animation’ of old family photographs. Using some devilish algorithm, these grinning ghouls … Continue reading Animated Atrocities
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Look around you. Cast your eye across the sclerotic state of our nation – the rudderless ship of government, the suffocating blanket of nanny-state regulation, the timid hand-wringing in the face of genuine threats, and the sheer, unadulterated dullness of it all. We are governed by managerial technocrats, men and women whose greatest ambition is to navigate a focus group, whose boldest … Continue reading Age of Timorous Bureaucrats
BY PAUL T HORGAN Well, it’s not exactly a George Floyd moment. This isn’t the case of a Minneapolis cop blocking the airway of a repeat serious felon caught passing counterfeit dollar bills, the last minutes of Floyd’s life captured from the single perspective of a smartphone camera. The public outcry over the recent shooting in the same city has been limited to the ideologically … Continue reading A Tragedy Not An Outrage
BY STEPHEN PAX LEONARD I reckon if you travelled the length and breadth of the land, you would be hard pushed to find many folk that wouldn’t rather like to give two-tier Keir the proverbial Foxtrot Oscar. He is much despised and for good reason. For me, one of the most objectionable things about him is that he appears as this ineffectual, weak-kneed puppet-like administrator … Continue reading Rupert
BY STEPHEN PAX LEONARD The Soviet dissident and intellectual, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, famously said: “to destroy a people, you must first sever their roots”. Solzhenitsyn spent eight years in a Gulag for criticising Stalin and knew a thing or two about ideology, hard labour and anti-Soviet propaganda. Today, in a different time, geography and ideology entirely, our own Prime Minister seems to be waging war on … Continue reading Once again, We are Living in Solzhenitsynesque Times
BY JOHN MUSGRAVE As Advent begins – notionally a fast, but more often a progression of parties and good cheer – spare a thought for meat-dependent merrymakers. We are all under threat from the mean-green vegan party-poopers who want to ban meat-eating altogether. Halal meat is now in the crosshairs as the soya-bean sallies plot further Herodian bedevilment. Any move to ban halal slaughter is … Continue reading Hands off Halal
BY SEAN WALSH If the Roman jurists were correct that institutions can be persons, then we know what sort of chap the BBC is: the once-promising head prefect who through many years of bad choices has morphed into the lowlife, untrustworthy addict. Worse than a patron of a Victorian Limehouse opium den, the “nation’s broadcaster” has been for so long sucking on the crack pipe … Continue reading A Desperate Addiction
BY ALEX STORY All is known about Pakistani rape gangs operating in Britain. Over the last 25 years, inquiry after inquiry have revealed the same thing: For the sake of “community cohesion”, our civil service and much of our media covered up the true scale of the horror, their role in it, and attacked all who sought justice, labelling them “Far Right”, as our Prime … Continue reading The Complete Equation
BY SEAN WALSH When I was a child and showing worrying signs of growing up to become me, my parents put me up for investigation by all manner of psychologists and other con-artists. The experts gave me these “psychometric” tests and also exercises in something called “numerical reasoning”. Some of the questions went a bit like this: What is the next number in the following … Continue reading Trump’s Dylanesque Genius
