BY EFFIE DEANS There has been quite a lot of attention recently to people crossing the Channel in dinghies, but the story needs to be put in perspective. In 2019 612,000 people moved to the UK (immigration) while 385,000 left the UK (emigration). There were 34,000 asylum applications. So far this year about 4000 people have arrived by crossing the Channel. The number of people … Continue reading The Truth On Immigration
BY JAMIE FOSTER Jeremy Corbyn is a pacifist. That is to say he opposes any military action taken by Britain or the United States under any circumstances. He is not a pacifist to the extent that it causes him to criticise Russia or Syria for their military action, but he does not want Britain or the US to take any military action at all. His … Continue reading Corbyn’s Impotent Britain
BY JOHN ISMAEL Corbyn’s Labour’s abject failures of recent weeks have exposed their true colours: anti-Semitic, America/Britain-hating, dismissive of all military action (making redundant the UK’s military and nuclear deterrent) and scarily incapable of saying anything bad about Russia.

In particular its persecuted Christians. I wish You all a peaceful Sunday … Continue reading A Prayer For Syria
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 ASGHAR KHAN While many in the West celebrated Thursday’s US strikes on the Syrian air force base in North West Syria, it was depressing to see among those congratulating President Trump the likes of the White Helmets and al Nusra (an al Qaeda Islamist affiliate). The so-called “Rebels” are just as bad as Assad and he is right to call them terrorists. For those … Continue reading Syria the Hopeless
BY JAMIE FOSTER I must apologise to the loyal readership of Country Squire Magazine for my recent inclement humour and brief period of absence. I came recently and unexpectedly upon a grief that I had not anticipated reacquainting myself with; and a sudden loneliness that I shall not trouble you to bear. Suffice it to say I am indebted to my friends for their indulgence. … Continue reading A Midwinter Moment
