BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN The Hamas-Israel war has created a febrile atmosphere in Britain, at least on social media. The usual suspects on both sides are there for all to see. On the one side, the extremist Islamists – al–Muhajiroun types marching with Caabu and Hizb ut Tahrir numbnuts supported by weird, anti-Semitic allies like Nick Griffin and those Queer for Palestine wannabe building divers. On … Continue reading More Weeblemen Required
Dear Editor, I watched a television interview with Jeremy Clarkson recently in which he said that the eco-chuggers kept on getting the law changed thus making farmers’ lives increasingly difficult. Now they are after the gamekeepers and they will be after fishermen soon too. Noone pays much attention to them except for fellow eco-chuggers who have unfortunately infiltrated DEFRA and other organisations like the RSPB. … Continue reading Ignore the Deplorables

We were keen to have the magazine become a platform for the whole countryside. The words we chose were the following: “We at Country Squire Magazine hope to reflect the … Continue reading A Note to the Antis
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN We have learnt a great deal about our friends in Europe in recent weeks. France wants to plunder our fish, Brussels wants to command our army, while Spain wants to grab our land. The current government in Dublin, albeit increasingly rattled, cares far more for the EU than the UK. No wonder a growing portion of the British people – exhausted by … Continue reading The Folly of Focusing on Europe
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN I watched Tuesday night’s vote over a pint in The Lamb. I took along my Remainer friend Henry. We go back a long way and Henry appreciates my choice to be a Brexiteer as I understand his mistake. Henry is as fed up with the lack of strong leadership in the country as I am. The meaningful vote result was a shock … Continue reading Stand & Deliver
