BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN In the opening lines of his paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, the British mathematical genius Alan Turing wrote, “I propose to consider the question, ‘Can machines think?’”. The Turing Test is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In other words, if the answers from a machine are answers that … Continue reading The Turing Test
BY MANDY BALDWIN Nobody should be surprised at the reaction of Jeremy Corbyn to the announcement that Sally Jones, aka ‘The White Widow’, has been killed in a CIA drone strike. As ever, Corbyn is unable to wholeheartedly condemn terrorists, or terrorism. He seems dimly aware that by not doing so he offends people who he may have to impress in order to gain power, … Continue reading The Corbyn Jones Affinity?
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN I read with stupefaction last week that a new organisation is being launched by a group of Corbyn’s Labour MPs – called Catholics for Labour. Some fellow called Mike Kane, who is apparently the shadow schools minister and an MP, will be the organiser of the group which will be formally established at Labour’s party conference later this month. So, why the … Continue reading Was Jesus a Tory?
BY MANDY BALDWIN Let’s get this straight: Sarah Champion, who spearheaded the enquiry into the mass-rape of children in Rotherham, has resigned her position as Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, because some people who favour lies over little girls threw a hissy-fit. I read some of the outraged comments by Labour supporters on the subject and their main beef was that she … Continue reading Not So Champion
CSM EDITORIAL This is a video which should be spread far and wide. In it the Great Thomas Sowell explains how he moved on from the quick fix addiction of Marxism. It’s only a short video so even those really busy student followers of Mr Corbyn will have time to watch this. Even better – it’s free to view and only lasts four minutes. Do … Continue reading A Video To Help Blind Corbynites See
BY SAM WHITE Some have questioned what drives Jeremy Corbyn’s recent surge in popularity, but if you have to ask, you should be regarded with suspicion. Because Jeremy Corbyn is, simply, a good man. He hugs people. He cares and is empathetic, he will provide and protect. Forgiving and incorruptible, he nods, divines, and heals. But don’t question him, because his powers require devotion. Lend … Continue reading Our Saviour Jeremy Corbyn
BY PROFESSOR COLIN TALBOT Well, I didn’t see that coming. I will leave (for the moment) others to begin the unpacking of how the result happened. I want to just do a quick (and accurate) check on where this leaves the House of Commons and therefore power. Firstly the Conservatives have won 317* seats at the time of writing (with all 650 seats declared). (*not … Continue reading The Real Balance of Power
BY MANDY BALDWIN So, the irons have been pulled out of the fire and we didn’t have to face the terrifying prospect of Catweazle shuffling resentfully into the presence of our beloved Queen (or ‘Comrade Windsor’, as he no-doubt refers to her in his wildest dreams) to be given permission to surrender us to whatever poisons lurk in the mud. After a sleepless night watching … Continue reading Don’t Look Back in Anger
BY SAM WHITE It’s easy to distinguish the many decent Labour supporters out there—they’re the ones who are alarmed by the rise of Jeremy Corbyn. The ones who are as disturbed as anyone by the party leadership’s links to the IRA, Hamas, and Hezbollah. Who don’t want a leader that always sides with Britain’s opponents in times of conflict. A leader that voted against preventing … Continue reading Losing Labour’s Extremists Emboldened
BY JOHN ISMAEL The lies have already begun. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn lied yesterday on Sky News: “Labour got 3m more votes.” Labour actually got 757,949 LESS votes than the Conservatives. Meanwhile on social media Corbynites are claiming victory despite Labour getting just 262 seats compared to the 318 won by the Tories – putting Labour mathematically well away from forming any kind of government. … Continue reading Corbynite Delusion Holds No Bounds
CSM EDITORIAL So here we are. Just one day to go. Then we all head to the polls and vote for the party we least dislike. That moment of silence in the booth awaits us. Then it’s all down to us. Who shall we choose? This General Election is such an important one. Britain stands in choppy waters as a result of the Brexit vote. … Continue reading A Time for Hearts & Heads
BY BEN PENSANT If Jeremy Corbyn loses on June 8th, expect the Corbynistas to draw on these five typical Labour excuses: 1. Stupidity Should the British people reject both Jezza’s principled socialism and the middle-class movement to stop Brexit, much will be written about the role played by the chaotic ineptness of the opposition. Don’t believe a word of it. Because who but the most educationally subnormal bin-man would fail … Continue reading The Corbynista Excuse Handbook
BY BEN EAGLE For anyone who reads my blog it’s probably clear that I’m not overly happy with the direction our country has been going in recent years. The drive to ‘let the market decide’ has, I believe, gone too far and we have forgotten the benefits that collective support can bring, instead opting for some sort of inward-focused, individualistic journey through life. Don’t get … Continue reading Corbyn: Credit Where Credit’s Due
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN As Guido pointed out yesterday morning, John McDonnell yesterday claimed he didn’t know that hammer and sickle and pro-Assad flags were flying above his head as he addressed a May Day rally – despite standing just yards away from them. McDonnell was asked if he knew the flags were in his vicinity as he spoke: “No, of course I didn’t know” he told … Continue reading Labour Red Flagged
BY JOHN ISMAEL The dead cat strategy used in politics and in damage limitation strategies of corporate PR refers to the introduction of a dramatic, shocking, or sensationalist topic to divert discourse away from a more damaging topic. Boris Johnson summarised the strategy thus: “There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t … Continue reading Dead Cat?
BY JON ALEXANDER Well…here we go again, it’s General Election time in the UK. Incumbent Prime Minister Theresa May has U-turned quite spectacularly and called for a vote in Parliament to allow the British public to go to the polls once again, this time on the 8th of June 2017. This decision is correct and is merely a formality – nothing more than a ‘Spring … Continue reading Battlestations
BY PETER THOMPSON Two years ago I wrote the following post. I haven’t updated it so it refers to Ed Miliband and the very real threat he posed to the prosperity of our country. I now ask you to consider how much more dangerous these risks are under Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell. Labour have no understanding of the extraordinary risks entrepreneurs take and yet … Continue reading A Warning from the Past
BY TOM JENNINGS Dear Jeremy, I was given the task of writing a “Corbyn Piece” for Country Squire Magazine. I couldn’t think what the hell to write. So, last Sunday, I sought inspiration with a pint in a Shropshire pub garden overlooking a sun-soaked December countryside and had a ponder about you and Labour, whilst puffing on a Keir Hardie pipe. I looked at your situation from … Continue reading A Love Letter to Jezza
BY MAUREEN GRIMWADE I have supported Labour all my life. I am the proud daughter of a Manchester fitter and as far back as I can remember all the family voted Labour. In our eyes the alternatives were the Tories (no chance) or the “other lot” as they were known; “the party the same colour and constitution as weak wee after a summer shandy”. Voting Labour … Continue reading Labour’s Lack of Leaders
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN When Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn holds his rallies, he not only entices the old, battered diehards of Britain’s far-left – those from Militant to the Socialist Workers Party to Left Unity – he also attracts considerable numbers of youthful political virgins, who have never joined a political party before. I have concluded that these people are wandering inadvertently into socialism; swallowing assumptions … Continue reading What Drives Corbyn’s Young Lemmings?
