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
BY ALEX STORY In Blackadder Goes Forth, General Melchett tells Private Baldrick not to worry “my boy”, as another offensive on the Western Front is being planned. “If you should falter, remember that Captain Darling and I are behind you”, says the moustachioed general to which Captain Blackadder responds, “about 35 miles behind you”. There was something of Melchett and Darling in Sir Keir Starmer … Continue reading No Consequences?
BY ALEX STORY Old Europe and the Americas are set on very different paths. Germany, France and the United Kingdom are visibly stuck. El Salvador, Argentina and the United States, on the other hand, are not. Politically, Germany and France have become difficult places to govern, to say the least. The fragile German three-party coalition government collapsed in November 2024 over the beleaguered country’s economic … Continue reading The Great Bifurcation
BY ALEX STORY A country with no faith, like an athlete with no belief, is just an empty husk. Labour abolished our ancient blasphemy laws in 2008 when it pertained to Christianity with the Church of England’s very own blessing. However, Labour is hinting at their reintroduction. Mainly, it would seem, to shield the religion of Islam from the bright lights of theological scrutiny. … Continue reading Going, Going, Gone
BY ALEX STORY Like the proverbial frog, we are gradually being cooked beyond the enervated state. Not for us the cold shower. Daily we are confronted by volumes of stories, each of which would have been front page news only a few years ago. Today they barely survive a firefly flash on our screens. Without a trace, they disappear in the dark recesses of our … Continue reading The Crime of Opining
BY ALEX STORY Labour is run by extremists. The party always was. Attaining political power and keeping it to encrust its ideology within the political system, outside of political oversight, was and is its supreme aim. The wellbeing of the nation and her people come a very distant second in the order of Labour’s political priorities. Ideology features ahead of the reality, against which Labour … Continue reading How it Waddles
BY ALEX STORY In modern day Britain, we are allowed to mourn our murdered children, friends or relatives. We are free to be appalled. We are also permitted to lay flowers by the coagulating blood of our kith and kin, as our political leaders walk solemnly towards the farewell postcards and tear-drenched bouquets for a tight minute of contemplative silence, broken only by the incessant … Continue reading Mourning in Silence
BY ALEX STORY “I don’t think there are big issues on which I’ve changed my mind”, said Sir Keir Starmer to Patrick Maguire, then a columnist for the New Statesman, in March 2021. Let us then investigate past patterns of thought to better discern future direction of travel ahead of Starmer’s administration’s first budget. From 1986 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in the … Continue reading Never Changing Your Spots
BY ALEX STORY In 1972, as the United Kingdom was readying herself to join the European Economic Community, Neil Young released The Harvest, arguably one of his greatest albums. Alabama, a censorious ode to the state’s presumed attachment to the Old South and to “old folks tied in white ropes”, decries her condition. Alabama is a ruin, a heavy load for “the rest of the … Continue reading The Deluded Frog
BY ALEX STORY Sunak was the first man who lost his way to Downing Street. He won’t be the last one to lose his way out, thankfully. The end game in politics for the current Prime Minister is approaching fast. The poison which set the Tory party on the path to self-destruction was injected by Osborne, Hague and Cameron in the body of this ancient … Continue reading Between a Rock and a Hard Place
BY ALEX STORY Truth is now a crime. Little illustrates this more than a verdict passed in Verden Regional Court, Northern Germany, earlier this week. Marie Therese Kaiser, a budding young politician, was found guilty of using government statistics to point to a problem that officialdom would rather not talk about. As the Taliban took down the Pride flag from Kabul Town Hall in the … Continue reading The Crime of Truth
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 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 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
