BY GARY McGHEE There exists a photograph of some of my extended family members, not dissimilar to the one above. At the centre of it is a matriarch, now in her 90s, called Rose. A wonderful lady who, when I saw her at my brother’s wedding, said to me, “I looked after you when you were a baby.” I was 50 at the time and … Continue reading Family
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 GARY MCGHEE ‘The English have no taste, which is why they set so much store by it’ (Joe Orton) It is likely that Joe, being a homosexual non-conformist, wasn’t describing himself. To say that homosexuals tend to have better taste than straights is a truism, but also a stereotypical trap. I know gay men who have no taste whatsoever and don’t care a damn … Continue reading Drowning in a Sea of Grey
BY GARY MCGHEE With the impending prospect of a Labour Government breathing down our necks, it is high time to unpack the real implications of this and the real cut of their collectivised jib. One of the first myths that needs to be squashed is that there is a difference between being ‘Woke’ and being ‘Left’. I’ll start with how US rightist commentator Curtis Yarvin … Continue reading OK, Commie
BY GARY MCGHEE At 2 am on the 8th September 1959 a baby boy was born in Stoke Newington Jewish maternity hospital. The mother was a working-class gentile from London of Irish extraction. Having a child out of wedlock at a time when illegitimacy was much frowned upon and abortion was outlawed in her milieu, a Catch 22 if ever there was one, meant that … Continue reading Shalom
BY GARY MCGHEE It was May 1997. Blair had recently entered No.10. A new dawn had broken (had it not?) and an even more important dawn had broken for me. Only this one was set to truly transform my life. I met my Baby Bear. We stared at each other across the bar of Compton’s in Old Compton Street, Soho, a smoke-filled, drunk-addled sleaze-pit as … Continue reading The Queer is Dead
BY GARY MCGHEE There have been a lot of dramas made for TV and film in recent times that have Gay love stories at their centre. They raise important issues about the way these kinds of stories are now presented and what they mean in terms of young Gay identities and lives. I’ve focused on those that I think have much to commend them, but … Continue reading The Limitations of Wokery
BY GARY MCGHEE Love yourself. Two little words with a very big meaning. All else flows from them, the trajectory of your life, the meaning of it, the truths, the experiences, the decisions you make, the sense of your place in the world and what you can achieve in it. Without self-love you are bereft, compromised, emotionally undone, adrift, fated to not live a life … Continue reading Heartbreak Mountain
The Squires interview one of our popular guest writers and contributors, author Gary C. McGhee, about his debut Sci-Fi novel ANDROMONO. What’s your background as a writer? I have had short stories published and won a literary Prize. I also wrote a novel which was well-received, but I decided to learn how to write screenplays for TV and Film as my natural writing style is … Continue reading Andromono: The Gary McGhee Interview
BY GARY MCGHEE There are three TV series being broadcast next year that I’m really looking forward to watching. One is the final series of Better Call Saul, the excellent spinoff from Breaking Bad, the other is the next series of the wonderful crime drama Vera, with the brilliant Brenda Blethyn, with sweeping shots of the stunning moorland countryside of Geordie-land, which has created a … Continue reading Diddly Squat
BY GARY MCGHEE The Trans Cult has been busily recruiting new members. They suffer from a particularly problematic malady called TSS. This is not to be confused with those other illnesses WSS, TDS, BDS1 and 2 and DDS, (see below) though the psychological disturbance involved has some similar characteristics in that it involves detachment from the real world, deep immersion into fantasy land and the … Continue reading Descent to the Bottom
BY GARY MCGHEE My mind has recently been perplexing over the fact that a lot of my old muckers on the Left are stuck in a narrow ideological time-warp. Melanie Phillips outlined her journey and her escape from the Left and from woke Feminism in an interview recently where she describes it as a passage from a fantasy world to reality and the real world. … Continue reading Unreconstructed Fantasies
BY GARY MCGHEE When I was a child my mum bought me some marionettes for Xmas. One was a frog and the other a caterpillar. I loved them at first and played with them a lot and did not favour one above the other, but I soon got bored with them because all they could do was jump up and down on strings when I … Continue reading The Puppets
BY GARY MCGHEE There is currently an unfortunate malady afflicting British Left-Wing group-thinkers (I use the word ’think’ advisedly.) It runs thus: The Tories won a thumping majority at the General Election because the majority of We ordinary Brits are brainwashed by a right-wing media and are increasingly racist, homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic, hate Europe, are nationalistic and fascistic and prone to the overt influence of … Continue reading Dystopia Derangement Syndrome
BY GARY MCGHEE In the context of the way in which a lot of people on social media are cranking up the projection of their own anxieties and frustrations about Covid-19 onto our leaders, especially Boris, I thought I would redirect readers to my last article on Country Squire Magazine. Boris is being predictably assailed from the Left (BBC/Grauniad and Remainers/Rejoiners), but also from the … Continue reading Wind in Those Necks
BY GARY MCGHEE Back in the day (nearly 30 years ago) I attended what was called an Encounter Group as part of an M.Ed I was doing at Nottingham University. It went thus… A group of about 25 students entered a large rectangular room which was laid with chairs in an elliptical spiral pattern – enough chairs for each student. There was no front or … Continue reading Herding Cats
BY GARY MCGHEE The film Joker is a masterpiece in my opinion. On an artistic level it thoroughly deserves the accolades it is receiving and the north of a billion dollars gross box office is has taken so far. The ‘woke’ media critics were so triggered by it, so keen to denigrate it, that they completely missed the point of the film. The likes of … Continue reading Joker
BY GARY MCGHEE In 1993 I wrote a dissertation for my Masters Degree at Nottingham University. It was titled ‘Men and Self-Esteem’. It was well-researched, packed with salient references and the external examiners said that it was one of the best dissertations they had ever read. (Not bad for a working-class bloke who left school at 16 with good O-Levels, in order to get a … Continue reading Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds
BY GARY MCGHEE Cluck, cluck. An almighty furore has developed between Muslim primary school protesters and Local Labour MP Jess Foghorn Phillips. If you didn’t know already she has ordered an exclusion zone be put around the school to prevent the demonstration from being outside the school. Meanwhile LGBT groups are also demonstrating about the right of gay relationships to be taught in schools, though … Continue reading Intersectionality Chickens Home to Roost
BY GARY MCGHEE The Electoral Commission is both biased and pernicious. It is stuffed with Remainers who are clearly out to get Brexiteers, as evidenced by the vile persecution of Darren Grimes. Further clear evidence of this bias is outlined here by Jacob Rees Mogg. The occupation by Electoral Commission officers in the Brexit Party offices for SEVEN HOURS on the eve of the European … Continue reading Decommission The Electoral Commission
