BY ALEX STORY The country is decomposing, as a fish rots, from its head. Our demise is a function of the ideas that permeate our institutions. These are Fabian ideas. Half the Labour Parliamentary Party and the current cabinet are affiliated to that sinister organisation, with 140 fresh ones having been elected in July 2024. The Fabians are a broad alliance of Leftists ‘writ’ … Continue reading Ideology of Decomposition
BY ALEX STORY The Fabians’ march through institutions in politics is the equivalent of woodworm tunnelling through oak in nature. When the host is fully “permeated”, its rotting carcass disintegrates. The degeneration process in the United Kingdom, and much of the Western World, is now too obvious to hide. For instance, our police force, once seen as the keepers of the peace in cooperation with … Continue reading The March Through
BY ALEX STORY Starmer is many things to many people. To some he is a liar, to others a traitor, ever ready to serve the interest of the International Collective against that of our country. He might be all that and more, or less, but more importantly, he might be, as comedian and economist, Dominic Frisby, sings, his “toolmaker” father’s biggest achievement, namely “the biggest … Continue reading The Proof is in the Pudding
BY ALEX STORY Zia Yusuf, the chairman of Reform, spoke of the “remoralisation” of the young following his party’s recent local election successes. It struck me as a profoundly meaningful word. He argued that the process must begin by teaching history accurately, reminding our children of our country’s greatness and of its Greats. There is much to be proud of, yet over the last two … Continue reading An Old Fresh View
BY ALEX STORY In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s finding on April 16th which ‘clarified’ what a woman was, Starmer stayed silent on the topic for close to a week. During an interview on ITN about a week later, when asked whether a ‘Trans Woman’ was a woman he replied ‘a woman is an adult female‘. He welcomed the findings because, ‘it’s real clarity … Continue reading The Blind Ruling Over the One-eyed
BY ALEX STORY Ever since the Wall Street Crash of 1929, it has been common for economists to quip that when the United States sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. If it was true then, the opposite must have been as well. If the health of our cousins beyond our shores got ruder, so should our prospects. Whilst the four months old … Continue reading Quasi Autonomous No Growth Organisations
BY ALEX STORY Our current establishment lives in a make-believe world. The latter rests on a set of theories (or lies). These are, at best, only tangential to reality and devastating when applied to it. But they allow the powerful to deconstruct all aspects of our cherished life built up over millennia by our plucky, and increasingly forsaken, forefathers. Ostensibly this is done for our … Continue reading A Life in Fiction
BY ALEX STORY Austria is beautiful, Vienna magnificent. The Habsburg dynasty’s signature is everywhere: elegant, impressive and yet humble and welcoming. It is no surprise then that every January there takes place the Technical Ball, one of the world’s most elegant. In the grand halls of the Hofburg, the former imperial residence, nearly four thousand guests meet to dance as couples. She will wear a … Continue reading Dancing in Austria
BY ALEX STORY In a world governed by officials that demand constant change, it is reassuring to know that some things never do. The Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge is some such. On April 13th, for the 170th time, since Charles Wordsworth of Oxford and Charles Merivale of Cambridge started the challenge, two crews of eight men “good and true” (and a cox) from … Continue reading The Reassurance of the Never Changing
BY ALEX STORY Rachel Reeves repeatedly tells her audience the world has changed. Her plan is to grow the economy by taxing work and growing the state, the power of which Starmer really believes in. Alongside Reeves stands, when not raving in some high-brow night club, Angela Rayner and her “pro-business, pro-worker, pro-growth” Employment Rights Bill. Rachel will make employment more expensive; Angela will … Continue reading Giving Away Someone Else’s Belongings
BY ALEX STORY There are many paths but only one can be trodden. The human condition is thus forever reduced to considering the colour of one’s neighbour’s grass. Is mine greener than his? His greener than mine? So many doubts. Sometimes, though, we come across a neighbour’s whose grass is deep in the brown and at the sight of which envy dissipates like chaff in … Continue reading We Can’t All Be Fred Astaire
BY ALEX STORY “In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organised crime?” the 4th century AD theologian Saint Augustine asked about government. The question is worth pondering in today’s Britain. On what philosophical basis is our current State demanding ever more to deliver ever less, not to say the wanton destruction of our beloved country? There are two standpoints: The first, from the … Continue reading Paying Taxes: An Act of Treason?
BY ALEX STORY Starmer faces a dilemma. On the one hand, he believes “in the power of the state”; On the other, his beloved Leviathan is failing. Reality stands before him as an unalterable constraint. The useful limits of taxpayer-funded government largesse have long been crossed. On the spending front, there is little choice. He is preparing to disappoint his state-dependent constituents. To deflect from … Continue reading Janus Faced
BY ALEX STORY Sometimes distance brings clarity. In a note to investors, former Hedge Fund manager, current martial arts expert and forever Kiwi, Derek Wallis wrote: “The EU abandoned the defence necessary for their sovereignty to finance welfare states, which they destroyed with mass immigration”. He added that they now “have infinite migrants, bankrupt social programs, and a complete lack of security” Indeed, the EU’s … Continue reading Lessons Never Learned
BY ALEX STORY The Sentencing Council’s recent guidance asking the courts to consider the ethnic, cultural, and religious minority status of offenders as potential mitigating factors when pronouncing a judgement is the modern equivalent of the passing of the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. Crime, according to our quangocrats, is no longer a function of a person’s sovereignty, it becomes the mechanical corollary of the arbitrary … Continue reading The Shamelessness of Evil
BY ALEX STORY Starmer went to Washington to kiss Trump’s golden ring just as a provincial would have a Roman Emperor’s. The UK press thought the humiliating spectacle went well. As a synopsis, on the Chagos Islands and Ukraine, our Prime Minister sought the backing of a foreign power in pursuit of his own foreign policy objectives. Giving Chagos to Mauritius, to which they never … Continue reading Not a Serious Country
BY ALEX STORY The promise of the European Union, tacit or explicit in every treaty, was a future land of Common Agricultural Policy-funded milk and honey. It would deliver, you see, employment, stability and growth. Let us then take stock. In a quarter of a century, unemployment rates across the beleaguered Union have regularly been twice that of the United States. Over that long period, … Continue reading A Continent on Puberty Blockers
BY ALEX STORY The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk, has revealed data exposing the misuse of funds within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), confirming what many have long suspected. The Culture Wars are taxpayer funded. It shows that monies went to places few Americans would ever have wanted their dollars to go. What is true for USAID will … Continue reading Sacrificing Others For Your Benefit
BY ALEX STORY It has become routine to decry our civil servants and politicians as incompetent, lazy and, increasingly, illiterate. Given the speed at which the country is accelerating towards the cliffs, all three adjectives are surely accurate, if not too soft. With tedious regularity, sundry establishment figures come out to make an announcement, supposedly designed to cheer the multitudes. Each one, however, is a … Continue reading Risus Fatuorum
BY ALEX STORY Observing Donald Trump’s inauguration as 47th President of the United States from our current ‘United’ Kingdom is like watching Baywatch from a dinky flat in Pyongyang, North Korea’s sorry capital city. Across the Atlantic is where the fun looks set to be for the next half a decade. Meanwhile, under Starmer’s Titanic captaincy, our decline is assured. It won’t be managed … Continue reading From a Flat in Pyongyang
