Ever mindful that life out there amidst cancel culture, ULEZs, general wokery and the assorted bollocks that life throws at us is hard for those of a conservative disposition, I dedicate this column to ten points of wisdom that may help you get through the week. I must add the health warning that espousing these […]
I was born on the wrong side of the tracks and on the wrong side of the equator to be remotely interested in rugby. I have seen games at Murrayfield, Twickenham and at the Suncorp stadium in Brisbane, when I was on the right side of the equator. But the game leaves me relatively unexcited,

Our police forces in the UK these days are not exactly acquitting themselves with distinction. The Metropolitan Police has been in such a mess that it is being reformed and overseen to ensure that it focuses less on misogyny and murder (by its officers), and more on keeping people safe on the streets of London.

Shame has been brought on my family by the news that one of our grandchildren is a knife-wielding thug, who was found carrying a blade into school.

Now I have your attention I am going to tell you something that is nothing to worry about, we’ve been here before; we survived the last time and, essentially, it is a ‘non-story.’ But you’re going to hear about it anyway. There is a new Covid-19 variant circulating in the USA, and it has reached

I had never heard of cluster bombs until I served in the First Gulf War. These were used very effectively to paralyse the Iraqi Air Force. The RAF dropped them on Iraqi airfields and, as their pilots and ground crew did not know how many would explode, or when, the strategy was successful. In an

It’s a couple of weeks since the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament issued its scathing report ‘China’, where it outlined the ‘whole-of-state’ infiltration of UK institutions by the Middle Kingdom. Every sector: industry; finance; defence; and universities is penetrated. The veracity of such a report is hard to refute. There can be little doubt that the Chinese

Not content with throwing vast amounts of cash at the uncontrolled number of asylum seekers running up the beaches of the southeast coast (nearly £50 a head weekly plus free accommodation and free healthcare)*, we throw £11 billion annually at a variety of hopeless international causes in the shape of the overseas aid budget.
