If the Carry On team had ever dipped their toes into politics, they could have done worse than Carry On Conservative. Imagine ultra-liberal Prime Minister Kenneth Williams, masquerading as a Tory; Hattie Jacques as Home Secretary, coquettishly insisting ‘nothing gets past her’ as the swarthy young men squeeze round in their thousands, and Sid James […]

Like most children of the 1980s, I was introduced to the pleasure of reading primarily by Roald Dahl. That books authored by him have sold 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages is a testament to the man’s genius: his wit, his creativity, and perhaps most of all, his profound understanding of

I have long been asking myself: even if the Conservative Party were not actively seeking self-destruction, what exactly would they be doing differently if they were? Thanks to some of the most cataclysmic decisions in political history (three Prime Ministers in two months, crippling Covid lockdowns, and a blunt refusal to bring illegal immigration under control), they

England has not boasted blasphemy laws since their abolition in 2008. The closest I’ve ever come to encountering them was way back in the 1990’s as a public school sprog, when a classmate decided to adorn his Bible with swastikas in R.E. class, ‘because he was bored’. He received a double-detention for his trouble –

You asked for it, you got it! Due to public demand (not to mention, unprecedented levels of political imbecility), the Frank Report is making a comeback. So make sure the kettle’s on, the Jaffa Cakes a gogo, strap yourselves in and here we go! There were two major stories at Westminster this week. The first

As a devout atheist, I have an enduring fondness for our Anglican heritage. I am a great lover of churches, of hymns, and church services. Well I remember those public school morning assemblies where the Lord’s Prayer would be uttered sotto voce, and I would join in: “Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name…”

Whilst social media promises us unrestricted access to an individual’s innermost thoughts and whims, the culture in which it operates is diametrically opposed to freedom of expression. Despite rare victories, such as the Elon Musk exposé of Twitter censorship (“Elon Musk reveals motivation for Twitter Files, says ‘almost every conspiracy theory’ about the social network

As an inveterate whinging Pom, I confess that whenever I think of Australia my heart is immediately swelled by images of extravagant wildlife, endless beaches, and friendly, laidback people; not to mention the sunshine, the barbies, and the Sheilas. Like the majority of unsophisticated Westerners, my introduction to the island continent was Paul Hogan as

As the UK’s public service broadcaster, the BBC’s Royal Charter lays out its mission statement: “To act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services which inform, educate and entertain.” This is further clarified by its editorial values: “Our audiences have a right to receive
