BY STEWART SLATER It is a strange phenomenon in humanity that the same idea will often occur to different people at roughly the same time. Newton and Leibnitz invented calculus almost simultaneously. And spent decades arguing over who did so first. Similarly, the late 2000’s were a (actually, the) Golden Age of animated films about penguins. Film pairs follow the iron law of Highlander and … Continue reading The Meaning of Munich
BY GARY MCGHEE It’s not only Trump who dodged that bullet. His glorious victory in the US election means that we in the UK, others in Europe and indeed the whole world have too. At every level the globalist, elitist Woke Left will now be in retreat. The Communist centralisation via the back door of the WEF, Davos and the UN will hopefully be stymied. … Continue reading Dodging Bullets
BY MICHAEL HURLEY When I came to Europe from the United States in 2015 to walk the Camino (the 500-mile ancient pilgrimage through northern Spain), I had the good fortune to fall in with a genial group of Brits. I was planning to visit the UK after my pilgrimage to finish a novel and explore the world left behind by my grandfather. He was born … Continue reading Land of Fear and Loathing

I could not understand … Continue reading The Opposite of Racist
CSM EDITORIAL For Brexiteers the last three years have been as annoying as can be. We’ve had Project Fear thrown at us, a Continuity Remain backlash – thrusting all kinds of muppets into the public conversation – and we’ve had a Prime Minister who both thwarted Brexit and lost the plot. Maybe we should have expected blowback from the European Union – they need our … Continue reading Time for Optimism
BY MANDY BALDWIN In our common struggle against those waning Globalists who deny our unique identities, it’s vital that we remember genuine friendships between nations. We may have a network of relationships around the globe, but for Britain, our defining friendships are with France and the USA, representing Europe and the Anglosphere respectively.
