They tried to terrify us with Covid-19 and, sad to report, it largely worked. Most of the population cowered under the cosh of the public health experts, stayed indoors, socially distanced, wore masks and got vaccinated. Some people remain convinced that Covid-19 was an existential threat and that, had it not been for the one-way […]

You may already be aware of the content of the King’s Speech on Christmas Day. I am not as I make it a point not to be preached to by entitled, ignorant and condescending scroungers (and I’m a monarchist). But apparently, the speech that was delivered was not what King Charles (peace be upon him)

There are few things worse in governments, corporations and societies than the mentality that ‘something must be done’. Mostly because nothing needs to be done or that which is done is entirely the wrong thing. Following the dreadful shooting incident in Dunblane, Scotland in 1996 – tennis star Andy Murray was one of the children

My jaws are still aching this morning following the Free Speech Union Comedy Benefit at the Backyard Comedy Club last night in Bethnal Green. This was comedy like it used to be: offensive, insightful and most importantly, hilarious. The Free Speech Union, the brainchild of Toby Young (now Viscount Young of Acton), was formed after

I am sitting in the man cave besieged by a legion of brass monkeys, wearing two face masks and praying that my GP will not have run out of flu jabs before I can get down there and roll my sleeves up. We are entering – indeed we may already be in the midst of

It’s that time of year again, Christmas trees, Christmas cards, tinsel and decorations, relatives popping in for a drink and Die Hard on the telly. But it’s not all bad news, and to bring some cheer we offer this year’s TNC Christmas hamper. We have stopped at nothing to seek out the best quality gifts

When those of us who were enraged by the scandal that was the Tavistock Clinic and its wholesale and unaccountable distribution of puberty-blockers to very young children pointed out that this was an experiment without a control group, we didn’t mean that they should go and run one. But that is precisely what is going

Once again, the man cave is in Italy. I wanted to title this one in Italian, to show how cultured and cosmopolitan I am, but apparently, there is no direct equivalent of ‘man cave’ in Italian. The nearest I could get was Dall’uomo delle caverne, meaning ‘from the caveman’, which I take as a compliment.

It has finally arrived, all thousand-plus pages of it: the second UK Covid-19 Inquiry Report. Years in the making, tens of millions of pounds in cost, and delivering exactly what it was constructed to deliver. Not truth, not accountability, not a sober assessment of what happened, but a carefully curated political document in which the conclusions were pre-determined

One is back in Blighty and freezing one’s nuts off in the man cave. The temperature has dropped, and an ‘Orange Weather Alert’ was issued last night to ensure that we all knew that it was going to be cold. Seems that the government and their perpetual mouthpiece the BBC, seem to think that nobody
