There is something new in my house. Silence! For the last three weeks the telly has been on morning, noon and night. The sound of breathless commentary, banal and repetitive exchanges between yesterday’s stars all against a background of cheering and crowd roaring has dominated. Mrs Watson is an Olympics nut and there’s hardly a […]
Denis Healey famously likened being taken to task by his Tory opposite number Geoffrey Howe to being “savaged by a dead sheep”. The same could be said about David Clews, co-founder and lead correspondent of Unity News Network (UNN) who, this weekend, has managed to unite the Left-wing and Right-wing legacy media in condemnation of

The circus came to town last week in Hull when protesters gathered to express their feelings about the housing of asylum seekers, the vast majority young Muslim men, in the heart of the city in the Royal Hotel attached to Hull’s Paragon Station.

In a world of unrestrained wokeness, Mattel, the manufacturers of Barbie and Ken dolls, have surpassed themselves.

“Hi, my name’s Ken, what’s yours?” Thus, I first met Captain Ken Kirk, a nursing officer in 212 Field Hospital RAMC (V). I was a lieutenant in 205 Scottish General Hospital on attachment to 212 for the summer camp. My work at the University of Edinburgh prevented me from joining my own unit for summer
What on earth is wrong with a country—and its leaders—when the two main candidates for the post of Prime Minister after the next election feel that it is necessary to declare their level of deprivation in childhood? It is impossible to imagine this happening anywhere else in the world. Across Europe, the Far East, Middle
