VICAR Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, this Sunday I wish You all well and trust that You and loved ones are healthy and happy. This week I would like to focus on persecuted Christians around the world. A growing number of people it seems, as many countries fail to prevent harm coming to those of the Christian faith. For the 16th year in a … Continue reading A Prayer for Persecuted Christians
BY ANDREW MOODY Whilst educated to a middle-class standard, by the time my 21st birthday arrived (spent alone inside a cell in a psychiatric ward) I was living off mental health benefits and completely written off work. I lived in temporary accommodation in Vauxhall in SW London at the tail end of a decade of hard drug abuse (purchased off primarily blacks or ex-convict whites) … Continue reading The Myth of White Privilege

BY NICK GREEN The question over whether gammon is a racist term is a simple one to answer. When white people use it against white people, then no – it’s not racist in the slightest. When those of another colour use it against white people then it’s as racist as a white using the N or P word. If there’s any sanity in the legal … Continue reading Jones’ Gammon Mask Slips

BY DEBORAH JANE NICHOLAS I have read several articles recently regarding bombproofing and many of them offer some handy tips and tricks. Most of them provide information on what many of us would do anyway in terms of schooling with a plastic bag, or tying one to the arena fence. But what I would like to add is something all of the articles left out, … Continue reading Sniffing For Confidence
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Banzai Conservatism has conservatism at its heart. Combining a disposition to preserve with an ability to improve (Burke), conservatives are people who love something actual and want to retain it (Scruton), but from time to time they also need to defend that something actual. In other words, often in their battle of a generation, they should be moved to fight to defend … Continue reading Banzai Conservatism

BY DEBORAH JANE NICHOLAS Well done to those people that actually get off their backsides and look for work. I regularly see these adverts pinned to the notice boards of tack-shops. I applaud those individuals that make the effort to either hand-write or print off a carefully written advert and drive around the shops in a bid to find employment. Still, there is also an … Continue reading The Groom Misnomer
BY SAM WHITE Hate. Are you a hater? Perhaps a hate preacher of some variety? I’m veritably overflowing with hatred. Perhaps, to some limited extent, I even strive to spread hate. I think I may be in the act of preparing to disseminate hatred right now, by typing these words in the hope that they’ll be read, thereby furthering the corruptive agenda to which I … Continue reading Illiberal Derangement
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN It was no surprise last week to see the “journalist” Sam Kriss ditched by VICE and then suspended by the Labour Party after claims of sexual harassment. Labour hijacked by Momentum placers seems to attract such charmers. It was diverting to see that Kriss describes himself as an intellectual. Then again, these false promisers of Labour – he purportedly bragged to some … Continue reading Nordic Socialism not Venezuelan!

BY DEBORAH JANE NICHOLAS My mother walked into the living room to find out why her 9 year old daughter was crying. The child was curled up on the sofa clutching her knees to her chest. The cushion with the green velvet cover that was probably bought from Oxfam for 20p was being used to absorb ample amounts of bodily fluids that consisted of tears … Continue reading The Drowned Horse
BY ANNE CHIE New technology follows us wherever we go—quite literally—especially on the road. Even the least adventurous among us bring at least a few electronic devices with us, and it’s easy to see why all this tech has changed the way we live, much less travel. But road trips are road trips, and all that we’ve come to love about them will probably never … Continue reading Going Hi-Tech for Better Driving

BY JANE OLIVER A survey was done recently of the British People. They were asked if they would prefer to live in a big city and 68% said no. This compares to the reality, that over 80% of Brits live in urban areas. Here are 10 reasons why Countryside Living wins: Abundance of space. Unlike cities, where people live in congested areas with housing … Continue reading 10 Reasons to Live in the Countryside
BY SAM WHITE The right looks for converts, the left for traitors. So runs the famous saying and it’s true, but feels incomplete. The modern left sniffs around obsessively for racists, homophobes, pronoun-sceptics, Islam-doubters, and any other kind of careless bigot you can imagine, with the possible exception of anti-Semites, to whom the hard left is more likely to give a free pass and an … Continue reading Long Live the Traitors
