Starmer’s Process State Is an Escher Universe

BY SEAN WALSH “I am satisfied the relevant processes were followed. The men are ascending and descending at the same time.”— Keir Starmer The English language is pretty useful when it comes to describing things, but it can only do so much. Some things are beyond its scope: the malignant, ordinary-yet-strange quality of the Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury, Keir Starmer, for … Continue reading Starmer’s Process State Is an Escher Universe

‘Shocked’

BY PAUL T HORGAN SW1, Friday February 6, 2026: Politician “Shocked” That He Has Been Lied To There was outrage in Westminster, when a leading politician admitted he was “shocked” that he had been lied to by another, but less leading, politician who had once been a quite leading politician before having been forced to quit over questions of honesty a few times.  That politicians lie … Continue reading ‘Shocked’

A Sordid Backstairs Deal

BY VARIOUS CONTRIBUTORS Just as some optimists began to believe that there may have been a form of principle, albeit misguided, behind the current government’s determination to repeal the 2023 Northern Ireland Legacy Act — and the protections it afforded to soldiers and police officers who risked all to fight the terrorists to a standstill — we see some truly scandalous measures included in the … Continue reading A Sordid Backstairs Deal

The Sighted Led by the Blind

BY ALEX STORY Rachel Reeves, our Chancellor, has much to ponder ahead of her autumn budget. Larry Summers, an economist, noted a few years ago that the country was “behaving like an emerging market”. He wasn’t talking about rape gangs, shoplifting, or burglaries, though he might have thought it. He was referring specifically to our financial situation. Professor Jagjit Chadha, from the National Institute of Economic and … Continue reading The Sighted Led by the Blind

Britain’s Attempted Socialist Subversion

BY ALEX STORY Millions of voices were shouting in anger. The Britons outside looked from pigs to extremists, and from extremists to pigs, and from pigs to extremists again—but already it was impossible to say which was which. To many, something strange had happened to our police. Once the thin blue line between order and chaos, they had crossed it, choosing the latter over the … Continue reading Britain’s Attempted Socialist Subversion

When Things Become Too Clear

BY ALEX STORY There was a time when rape, paedophilia, and treason were among the most heinous crimes one could commit.There were, of course, others—burglary, shoplifting, or queue-jumping.These latter offences, while distressing to the former population of Great Britain, did not warrant the same reaction—merely the stocks, the pitchforks, or, at a stretch, the gallows. Today, however, rape, paedophilia, and treason are daily fare—and linked.The … Continue reading When Things Become Too Clear

On the Way to Calvary

BY ALEX STORY The subjugation of Great Britain carries on apace as does the violation of our defenceless daughters and the rapine of our treasure, paying for the invaders’ full board in hotels as troops in barracks, with our government’s tacit approval. Further, last week, suicide and infanticide won support in the House of Commons. All this in June, Pride Month. Observing the scenery, George … Continue reading On the Way to Calvary

Tackling Britain’s Rent Boy Menace

CSM EDITORIAL The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said recently that there may be an ‘issue with young boys and men’ around toxic masculinity. Three fires. Three arrests. One Prime Minister. Maybe he has a point. The sequence is as follows:  May 8, 2025 – A car, once owned by Sir Keir Starmer and since sold to a neighbour, is set alight in Kentish … Continue reading Tackling Britain’s Rent Boy Menace

On the Devil’s Dandruff?

The aim: to push Russia to agree a reasonable ceasefire. With real prospects of further escalation, the stakes could hardly be higher. To capture the solemn occasion, Agence France Press (AFP), the reputed French … Continue reading On the Devil’s Dandruff?

The Blind Ruling Over the One-eyed

BY ALEX STORY In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s finding on April 16th which ‘clarified’ what a woman was, Starmer stayed silent on the topic for close to a week. During an interview on ITN about a week later, when asked whether a ‘Trans Woman’ was a woman he replied ‘a woman is an adult female‘. He welcomed the findings because, ‘it’s real clarity … Continue reading The Blind Ruling Over the One-eyed

Stop Exploiting Schools

BY JOE NUTT Professionals who have to know these things to do their job, know that Wales has quickly followed Scotland in becoming an international educational basket case. The worrying question now is, are England’s schools about to follow them into the trash? Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence started the rot. I was there at the birth, physically in the same offices, and watched the monster … Continue reading Stop Exploiting Schools

Giving Away Someone Else’s Belongings

BY ALEX STORY Rachel Reeves repeatedly tells her audience the world has changed. Her plan is to grow the economy by taxing work and growing the state, the power of which Starmer really believes in. Alongside Reeves stands, when not raving in some high-brow night club, Angela Rayner and her “pro-business, pro-worker, pro-growth” Employment Rights Bill.   Rachel will make employment more expensive; Angela will … Continue reading Giving Away Someone Else’s Belongings

There are Lies, Damned Lies and Keir Starmer

BY JOE NUTT Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me is such an obvious truism, it rightly finds a perfect home in the pre-school playground where grazed knees naturally provoke more tears, than bruised egos. Yet in England, in 2025, you would be forgiven for thinking almost no adult elected to the Mother of all Parliaments now believes this. … Continue reading There are Lies, Damned Lies and Keir Starmer

The Bark on the Tree, Never the Forest

BY ALEX STORY Axel Rudakubana won’t serve life in prison. The Southport stabbings were not an act of terror. Firstly, Starmer ruled out a whole life sentence for Rudakubana because Keir “takes our commitment to international law seriously”. Rudakubana, you see, was a handful of days under 18 when he committed his barbarous acts and the UN tells us that a child can’t receive “life … Continue reading The Bark on the Tree, Never the Forest

Meanwhile, under Starmer’s Titanic captaincy, our decline is assured. It won’t be managed … Continue reading From a Flat in Pyongyang

Awfully Clever

BY STEWART SLATER The Columnists’ Paradox is that the more one writes, the less one need be read. We all have our relatively fixed biases and a reasonably finite store of stories and references, and it does not take too long (longer than my own writing “career” to date though, obviously…) for those to become sufficiently well-known to readers that they can predict with almost … Continue reading Awfully Clever
