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

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) census figures released in early December reveal the inevitable consequence of open borders and mass immigration: Britain’s two largest cities (London and Birmingham) are now minority white British. Those identifying as white British in Birmingham fell from 52% in 2011 to 43% in 2021, while in London the corresponding numbers

For decades, progressives have focussed their attention on the restriction of free speech. This is crucial when you favour emotion over facts, because it helps to deny the others access to, well, facts. Since the 1990s, political correctness has shrunk the ever-narrowing boundaries of ‘acceptable speech,’ under the guise of not causing offense, naturally. Fast-forward

Welcome to what is regrettably the final instalment of The Frank Report. Having run for the promised year, I’m afraid it’s time to bow out gracefully. As rewarding as satire may be, it still fails to match the promise of a few nicker; or even better, fewer knickers. There is a remote chance that the

Welcome to this New Year edition of The Frank Report, where we herald the coming of 2023, and entreat it to be slightly less shit than its predecessors. Sadly we couldn’t get a marquee name like Jools Holland to compere for us, so you’re stuck with me. On the upside, I’m considerably cheaper, and always
