Who Defends the Defenders?

BY GEORGE SIMM DCM The Unseen Struggle: Soldiers, Sovereignty, and Human Rights in the Fight Against Extremism Unlike police officers, who benefit from representative bodies, soldiers have no such representation or protection. This disparity carries significant consequences. Late last year, the Metropolitan Police’s armed officers effectively withdrew their services in response to the legal handling of the Chris Kaba case. The result was a severe … Continue reading Who Defends the Defenders?

How it Waddles

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

Mourning in Silence

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

WANTED: Your Children for Animal Rising’s Training Camps

BY ALEXIA JAMES Terrorism involves violence or the threat of violence for political or ideological reasons, causing fear and disruption. While Animal Rising’s tactics are primarily disruptive, focusing on non-violent protests, some of their actions have caused significant disruption and damage and their civil disobedience methods have frequently resulted in its members being arrested. Their methods include graffiti, destruction of property, blockading and preventing food … Continue reading WANTED: Your Children for Animal Rising’s Training Camps

The Left Has Disgraced Itself Over Israel

BY EFFIE DEANS There is probably nowhere in the world which has had such a long and on the whole successful experiment with socialism as Israel. In no other western country that I can think of are there anything like the kibbutzim in Israel. Here are small experiments in socialism which to various degrees put into practice the ideals of shared ownership, collective living and … Continue reading The Left Has Disgraced Itself Over Israel

The Rapid Decline of Slow Joe

BY QUENTIN PIGG ‘The world feels like a slightly better, kinder place today’ Gary Lineker tweeted during Biden’s inauguration, addressing him with the sort of asinine adoration that was then the custom. But given the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, Lineker’s tweet has aged about as well as the president’s spare and perma-surprised stare. While Afghans scramble to save their lives from danger, Twitter blue ticks … Continue reading The Rapid Decline of Slow Joe

Managed Moorlands Wildlife Deserts?

BY MARK BIRD In the second week of June I spent a week on and around The Strathy Estate (unmanaged), RSPB Forsinard and The Auchentoul Estate (managed primarily for stalking). The weather was excellent and below is the list of vertebrate species I either saw or heard over that time period. As impressive as the list may be, what was most notable was the sheer … Continue reading Managed Moorlands Wildlife Deserts?

Don’t Mention the J Word

BY FRANK HAVILAND The world is not fair – we all know it. And yet, curiously, it is those who benefit most from such a state of affairs who insist on lecturing the rest of us about them. It can get rather galling listening to the petulant foot stamps of multimillionaire luvvies, sweatshop-based multinationals, and every tax-dodging athlete who can haul themselves onto one knee … Continue reading Don’t Mention the J Word

We Are to Blame

BY ASGHAR KHAN A Cypriot friend tells me that a few years ago, in Karsiyaka, a small town in Northern Cyprus, a visiting Imam from Jordan was invited to Friday Prayers. This Imam addressed the men in the mosque (no women present, of course) and abused them for the way that their womenfolk dressed; how disgusting they were exposing their arms and ankles; how weak … Continue reading We Are to Blame
