BY EFFIE DEANS I had never heard of Wilma Brown the former Labour candidate who was suspended for liking various posts on Twitter/X. I had likewise never heard of the person who had gathered the various posts which can be found here. But it is necessary to point out that in most cases the posts liked by Wilma Brown were innocuous, arguable, or true. The … Continue reading The Labour Party Was Wrong To Suspend Wilma Brown
BY JOHN DREWRY Looking back to the cataclysmic events in late 2024/25, it becomes obvious what happened. But then it’s easier to rewrite history than to comprehend it as it unfolds. Yet, ‘the moving pen writes’ and as I write this, I am already rewriting history. I’m inevitably building a picture different to the real one, because I have to start from somewhere, and as … Continue reading The Day the Circus Came to Town
BY ALEX STORY Religion is the cornerstone on which all civilisations are built. From that foundation spring culture, laws, social habits, and morality. A culture ripped from its religious soil dies. With that in mind and for that reason, Great Britain is perishing before our very eyes. With the ostentatious Ramadan celebrations in London, the call to prayer organised by Humza Yousaf First Minister of … Continue reading The Cornerstone Matters
BY JOHN DREWRY It’s time to call it a day. The party system has always presented an illusion of democracy, providing an apparent choice between opposing principles, policies and promises. With only a moment’s thought, it is obvious such a system is fatally flawed, at least in the interests of the electorate. Firstly, a party hungers for power rather than office, and will therefore be … Continue reading The Parties Are Over
BY PAUL T HORGAN The least surprising political news of the week has to be Owen ‘Squealer’ Jones publicly announcing his departure from the Labour Party. The only real question has to be what took him so long. Jones has been cursing and damning the Labour leadership for over a year, his cussin’ and dammin’ rising in parallel with Labour’s polling. 2024 is an election … Continue reading Exit Squealing, Stage Left
BY MARK CRUDGINGTON In 2023, the HSE released its “Opinion on the Annex 15 dossier proposing restrictions on lead in ammunition.” As is often the case with reports from government organisations, the authors seem to opt for verbosity where brevity would suffice. One can easily lose enthusiasm while wading through a swamp of jargon that offers little substance. Regrettably, I’ve squandered a significant portion of … Continue reading HSE and Steve Barclay to Close Churches and National Trust Buildings?
BY STEWART SLATER It is, these days, a truth universally acknowledged that an institution in possession of a fortune must be in want of someone to give it away to. Just over a week ago, the Church Commissioners adopted what we might term the Mick “Crocodile” Dundee approach to reparations for slavery, arguing that the £100mn set aside for the task was “not enough” and … Continue reading The Wages of Sin
BY MICHAEL HURLEY The American independent presidential hopeful, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., posted a brilliant rebuttal to President Biden’s recent State of the Union Speech. You can watch it below: A rarity among political videos, it’s honest, compelling, and well worth your time. But I found myself watching it with sadness and remorse for reasons I felt compelled to explain in the comment, below: Mr. … Continue reading Bobby, We Hardly Knew Ye
BY EFFIE DEANS Scottish politics is still primarily motivated by hatred of Tories. For this reason, at the next election 30% of Scots will vote for left-wing SNP, 35% will vote for left-wing Labour, 5-10 percent will vote for left-wing Lib Dems, 15-20% will vote for left-wing Scottish Conservatives and the rest will stay at home. But a year ago the SNP nearly voted for … Continue reading A Tory Rebrand in Scotland?
BY STEWART SLATER Britain’s politics have become the living proof that if you have a hammer, everything is a nail. For no sooner had Lee Anderson once more treated the country to his “insights” than the cry went up that they were racist. And the reaction was as swift as might have been expected by any Mediaeval woman accused of witchcraft, if rather less painful. … Continue reading Lee & the Politics of Language
BY ALEX STORY Tower Bridge shut down; Parliament under siege; Bodyguards deployed for Members of Parliament; an invisible, and increasingly partial, Police; And Lee Anderson MP dismissed by Rishi Sunak for pointing out the obvious. Things are reaching a point of no return. Lee Anderson suggested that the take-over of our public spaces in the Capital have metastasised under the benevolent glance of Sadiq Khan, … Continue reading No End in Sight
BY PETER HARRIS Though rare, there are in England’s history examples of attempts at forcefully subverting Parliament. The tumultuous Stuart era provides three examples. On 4 January 1642, Charles I illegally entered the House of Commons with an armed force to arrest his fiercest parliamentary critics. He left empty handed as John Pym and his allies had already fled in a boat down the Thames. … Continue reading Wednesday Full of Woe
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 STEWART SLATER When I write, I expect what I write to be right. Not because I have an overdeveloped ego (although I probably do) but because no-one who sets finger to keyboard thinks they are wrong. To produce a piece on that basis would be a waste of time and open one up to humiliation, something most (not all, some premises in Soho appear … Continue reading Rachel’s Risible Rep
BY STEWART SLATER “F**k you, Nigel. You f***ing ghoul.” My faith (if it ever existed) was long gone by the age of 9, (the Almighty’s weekly unwillingness to answer my prayer that enough snow would have fallen to prevent my parents from attending church seemed, to my childish mind, conclusive and irrefutable proof of his non-existence), but even I know enough about our ostensible national … Continue reading Reverends & Refugees
BY STEWART SLATER If the end of the Cold War was a source of joy for most, there was one group for whom it was a decidedly mixed blessing. While the removal of the threat of nuclear annihilation was obviously a good thing, thriller writers, used to churning out stories of dastardly Soviets attempting to subvert the West, suddenly found themselves in a decidedly uncongenial … Continue reading The Man Who Saw the Future
BY STEWART SLATER What links at least 14 parents in Cheshire, 12 people in Clapham, over 900 sub-postmasters, Andrew Malkinson and Brianna Ghey? They have all been revealed, since the middle of last year, to have suffered significant harm at the hands of the British state. The management of the Countess of Chester Hospital ignored suspicions about Lucy Letby, and even forced the consultants who … Continue reading State Fails & the Failed State
BY ALEX STORY The speed of decay is something to behold. The Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (D.I.E.) ideology has spread through Britannia’s entire body. This vicious Marxist cancer is now attacking her brains, having debilitated much of her former, warrior-like frame. The future looks bleak indeed. To many, she could be well past rescuing. Something could have been done over the last 14 years to … Continue reading Hiding Behind Lies
BY STEWART SLATER This year marks the 35th anniversary of Dangerous Liaisons, Stephen Frears’ classic film of French sexual skulduggery (is there any other sort?). In one of cinema’s great final shots, the movie ends with Glenn Close’s Marquise de Merteuil removing her make-up alone in front of a mirror, her reputation and place in society forever ruined by the release of her scheming letters. … Continue reading People Always See What They Are Looking For
BY EFFIE DEANS For a few months during the pandemic Nicola Sturgeon had what she had always dreamed of. She had independence. It’s true that the money still came from London. The vaccines were developed in London. The British Army put up the Nightingale hospitals. Still in every other respect she had something close to absolute power. In no previous time in Scottish history had … Continue reading The Worst Scandal in Scottish Political History
