BY DANIEL JUPP It’s easy to see how tyranny depends on forgetting. As tyranny grows, people forget that their political opposition are human beings. Tyrants classify certain groups as innately evil, and these groups, whether convenient scapegoats or actual rivals, are then a legitimate target for any kind of mistreatment. The sad truth is that whilst we were reminded constantly that right wing nationalism was … Continue reading The Radical Lure of Doing Good
BY ALEX STORY Eugenics is the new black. A bill to authorise medically assisted suicide is being introduced in the Scottish Parliament. The establishment appears fully behind it. In the Daily Telegraph, Lord Jonathan Sumption, a former member of our supreme court, backs the idea “on balance” as being “morally justified”. In the Times, Matthew Parris, that weathervane of British bien-pensant orthodoxy, looks forward to … Continue reading Death as a Human Right
BY NIALL MCCRAE Drowning in Berlin, mosquito-infested swamps in Michigan, and growing olives on the volcanic slopes of Iceland. It could all be reality soon, if you believe the prophecies of doom by climate change zealots and extinctionists. They tell us to ‘trust the science’, asserting that the ‘science is settled’. As a speaker at the World Economic Forum conference at Davos said, ‘we own … Continue reading Fingers in the Wind
BY JOHN DREWRY Billions of people are probably now familiar with the promise ‘You will own nothing, and you will be happy’. When I first heard it, I remember reacting with a mixture of incredulity, indignation and derisory humour. I thought, that is the aspiration of a madman, and is definitely irrational. Even if Herr Schwab helped to manage the dastardly realisation of ensuring we … Continue reading You Vill Be Heppy
BY EFFIE DEANS I grew up thinking that the world would be forever divided between Communism and Capitalism, the West, and the East, for which reason the end of the Cold War with the complete intellectual defeat of socialism as an ideology came as a surprise. No one foresaw in 1980 that ten years later there would be no Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). … Continue reading The Battle for Everything
BY ALEX STORY We are being led by fools wrote Professor Matt Goodwin, the author of best seller Values, Voice and Virtue, an investigation into the growing societal chasm between an unaccountable and sanctimonious self-proclaimed elite, and the working people of this country, who pay their bills. As he notes, one side sees the world as flat, borderless, and culture-free, while the other is deeply … Continue reading Fools or Frauds?
BY EFFIE DEANS The main purpose historically of the Conservative Party is to conserve. Rather like the RSPB is supposed to protect birds the Conservative party is supposed to protect Britain. Protecting Britain involves defending our island against its enemies, which requires us to have a strong defence and a series of alliances with friendly nations. Britain now has a very weak defence. Our armed … Continue reading The Conservative Party Has Failed to Conserve
BY HAMISH GOBSON Is Paula Vennells the new Nicola Sturgeon? She is undoubtedly one of the most arrogant, untrustworthy, incompetent and conceited women to have flitted across the nation’s consciousness in recent years. Despite that, I think it would be hard to elevate her to the Sturgeon category, for one main reason. Nobody made any money out of the Post Office scandal. All the sub-postmasters’ … Continue reading Paula Vennells & the SNP – Beware the Sordid Parallels
BY ALEX STORY The United Kingdom is now an apartheid state. Race and gender have been imposed on the masses ruthlessly. These twin topics have acted as a chainsaw on the roots of the Great British oak, leaving a lifeless, putrefying hulk behind as a witness to their act of vandalism. D.I.E. (Diversity, Inclusion and Equity) is our country’s official cult. So pervasive has it … Continue reading Apartheid UK
BY STEWART SLATER “When all is said, we are ruled by the amateurs and the second rate. The methods of our departments would bring any private firm to bankruptcy. The methods of Parliament – pardon me – would disgrace any board of directors.” A sentiment with which, I am sure, we can all agree. For the feeling stalks the land that we are poorly governed … Continue reading The Pinch Point
BY DANIEL JUPP Conservatives and traditionalists know that a worm of madness has burrowed its way into the heart of the western world. When our most highly educated children are chasing after Jews in the halls of academia, it is tempting to consider them all just plain mad, but it is more important to recognise that their hearts, as well as their minds, have been … Continue reading The Worm of Madness
BY JOHN MUSGRAVE ‘Enough is enough,’ is a phrase now increasingly heard on the lips of all good men and true. The follow-up phrase: ‘They really ought to do something,’ is overused and self-defeating. The problem here is the word ‘THEY,’ a much-abused pronoun of dubious provenance. When we expect ‘them’ to do something we abrogate responsibility. In the real world ‘they’ don’t exist. Suits … Continue reading Enough is Enough
BY STEWART SLATER I have a friend. This might be hard for those of you who read my articles to believe, but there you go. People are odd. To spare his blushes, let us call him “Robert”. Robert is, like me, at that stage where others refer to him as middle-aged. He prefers “Late Youth” and expends considerable time and sweat in confirming this (to … Continue reading A Wasted Reshuffle
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN The Hamas-Israel war has created a febrile atmosphere in Britain, at least on social media. The usual suspects on both sides are there for all to see. On the one side, the extremist Islamists – al–Muhajiroun types marching with Caabu and Hizb ut Tahrir numbnuts supported by weird, anti-Semitic allies like Nick Griffin and those Queer for Palestine wannabe building divers. On … Continue reading More Weeblemen Required
BY STEWART SLATER Three Tales of Two Cities I am a victim. A victim of a hate crime. Many years ago, in a land far away, I had a dispute with a taxi driver. I was, I think rightly, aggrieved that my journey home from the office had taken several times the usual duration since the first half of the trip had, despite my repeated … Continue reading Bob’s Law
BY STEWART SLATER Most battles in the Ancient World follow the same pattern. One side starts with the high ground and, about half way through, finds itself on the low ground. The reason for this is surprisingly simple – most people are right-handed. They hold their sword in their right hands, and their shield in the left. By taking a step to the right, therefore, … Continue reading Inverting the Battlelines
BY STEWART SLATER Sometimes, one can only stand back in awe. Perhaps at some sublime piece of sporting skill. Maybe at a dish in the final of Masterchef. Possibly at some shocking feat of magicians’ legerdemain. Or at the sight of Liz Truss addressing the Tory faithful about how to save Britain, an act of chutzpah so brazen, it might almost count as performance art. … Continue reading Shameless
BY PAUL T HORGAN It is one of life’s small fortunes that Russell Brand did not overly intrude on my television-watching up to the point I ditched my TV licence over two years ago. It was actually the increasingly dominant televisual culture of the kind that Brand represented (and that I was paying the BBC to watch) that prompted me to restrict myself to catch-up … Continue reading Brand X
BY GILES BRADSHAW The Wild Justice Director Mark Avery has given qualified support to disobeying the Hunting Act. He believes that it is “fine” provided that: I’m going to assume this is also the position of the campaign group to which he belongs. And I think this is a reasonable position to hold. I’d like to give qualified support to Avery’s qualified support of hunt … Continue reading Breaking the Hunting Act is “fine” says Avery
BY ROGER WATSON If anyone reading this can afford it, could they please pay the money to whoever it is who has captured the Roman Catholic Church and is holding it to ransom? This is not the first time my church has appeared on these pages. The past two years have seen an increasing level of politically charged nonsense from CAFOD (Catholic Fund for Overseas … Continue reading Captive Catholics
