Slogans are full of shit aren’t they? Take the Olympic motto: ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together’, which implies we’re all holding hands, negotiating hurdles collectively. When it comes to elite sport, nothing could be further from the truth. The transgender incursion into female sports is proof positive that people will take any advantage they can […]
It was harder than usual to identify the jokes this April Fools’ Day, seeing as most of the world is already self-identifying as one. Case in point, which of the following is an April Fools’ joke: A) Pubs are now serving a Ploughperson’s Lunch, B) Disney is aiming for 50% of its characters to be

We don’t have blasphemy laws any longer in Britain, but let’s face it – we don’t need them. Since the Charlie Hebdo massacre seven years ago, the western world has become wonderfully adept at self-censorship.

It would take a heart of stone not to sympathise with the plight of North Korean defectors, desperately fleeing the world’s most totalitarian dictatorship across the border into the prosperous, free South.

There were celebrations yesterday as Wales outlawed smacking, or any form of physical punishment for children. This comes hot on the heels of Scotland, who introduced a ban back in 2020.

This week brought us Equal Pay Day, a chance for liberals to demand teaching assistants earn the same as chemical engineers. That’s just as well, because the chemical sciences have more pressing problems to deal with – namely, ‘pervasive racism’. Flicking through my Encyclopedia Britannica List of everything that’s racist, volume 68,042, I can’t help
