The lesson plan, available on the internet at http://creativeconnexions.eu/dc/DD02.html is targeted at 13 to 14 year olds. It suggests that teachers: Encourage pupils to understand the concept of … Continue reading Comenius Project
CSM EDITORIAL The humiliation that Theresa May has brought to her country will not be fast forgotten. Last night’s delay of Brexit through to Halloween is just another case of the EU27 having a laugh at the UK’s expense. It is not Brexit that has brought the UK to its knees – it is Theresa May. The sooner she leaves Downing Street the better. Asked … Continue reading May the Useless
CSM EDITORIAL Mrs May is off to Brussels to ask for a short delay to the Article 50 process. It is impossible to imagine what her short delay will achieve. The only point of it is to threaten MPs again that if they don’t vote for her deal they risk a no deal exit. This is a threat that has already been used extensively and … Continue reading Man Up May – Let’s Just Leave
CSM EDITORIAL Another key week dawns for Brexit. This week the political pygmies all vie for their place in the footnotes of History. When people look back in hundreds of years at how nation states resurfaced in the twenty first century to bask in peaceful cooperation, Brexit will be seen as the starter gun of national freedom from the straitjacket of undemocratic unions – and … Continue reading Pygmy Week Begins
CSM EDITORIAL The questions surrounding the smirking terrorist and liar Ashraf Mahmud Islam are not moral ones, but legal ones, explains ITV News Security Editor Rohit Kachroo. Ashraf Mahmud Islam has been imprisoned in northern Syria since January. Ashraf has been held by Kurdish YPG forces yet his Kurdish captors are unwilling to continue to house him and his fellow captives or put them on trial. They want … Continue reading Throw Away the Key
CSM EDITORIAL As any Brit will know, a match is finished with a handshake and either a drink at the bar or a cup of tea. The winner congratulates the loser on a match hard fought. The loser congratulates the winner on their impressive performance. A few jokes are exchanged and perhaps an apology or two for any bad behaviour that might have occurred in … Continue reading The Walk of Shame
CSM EDITORIAL Yesterday’s outburst by Dominic Grieve on the radio was embarrassing – for him and the Conservative Party. That someone of such low rank should attack the recently-resigned foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, and in such a public way, was both petty and puerile. Grieve threatening to resign gives us all hope and puts wind in Johnson’s sails. Perhaps Grieve can be joined by Anna … Continue reading The King Wanted to Fish
CSM EDITORIAL In many remote countryside communities across the UK the pub is the hub of the community. When an owner decides that their pub business is too much of a struggle, or the local property prices are just too tempting not to convert their pub into a house, that is when a heart can be ripped out of a village. Villagers may occasionally bump … Continue reading Saving Countryside Pubs
CSM EDITORIAL The sight of pro-abortion activists partying after winning the referendum in Ireland on Saturday somewhat jars. Apparently, according to The Guardian, pro-abortion Irish emigrant activists in Australia were “in tears” and jubilant at the result. Amnesty International hailing the result as a “momentous win for women’s rights” that “marks the beginning of a new Ireland” is just about passable. Whether it is the right … Continue reading Celebrating Abortion is Repellent
BY CSM EDITORIAL On June 13th Emma Bean wrote a piece on LabourList (the equivalent of Conservative Home) suggesting that the Labour Party should focus its efforts on Scotland, on Jewish Britain and on the Countryside, where it performed weakly at the General Election on the 8th. Let us put Ruth Davidson and Labour Antisemitism aside for one moment. Regards the Countryside, this is what … Continue reading Labour Calls Farmers Irrelevant

CSM EDITORIAL A quick scan of Britain’s countryside using Google Earth reveals these rural twilight zones. Where subsisting folk live in caravans or dilapidated homes literally in the middle of nowhere. Down unpassable lanes or hidden off main roads where even the postman daren’t venture past a battered postal collection box barely attached to some post or tree. You may pass these locations as a … Continue reading A Shout Out For Britain’s Rural Poor
EDITORIAL Country Squire Magazine stands in silence today at 11 in the morning to remember. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany … Continue reading Lest We Forget
EDITORIAL The Forgotten Countryside is not a meme created by those who inhabit Britain’s countryside to hit the Government and other politicians with. It is a genuine complaint. Far too often over the years we have been saddled with bureaucrats who rarely set foot in the countryside, city-dwelling journalists who cast aspersions on countryside dwellers, effortlessly calling them yokels, bumpkins and grockles, and a BBC … Continue reading Countryside Access – The Country Trust
