As a country, our GDP per capita has been virtually static for a number of years now. Overall, GDP has increased slowly – thanks to the immigration-lead population growth, rather than an improvement in productivity. We hear the cry from politicians of all colours that we need to “grow the economy”, which is the most […]
Things are getting so bad in the UK under the Starmer Labour government, that it almost (almost) makes you hanker after the bumbling incompetence which characterised the end of days of the Sunak ‘Conservative’ government. It was hard to believe that things were going to get any worse, but they did, and all the signs

The Education Manifesto of the Some-Other Party The state, parents and education The character of its education is one of the things that defines a nation. Education is both shaped by and does much to shape national character. The mess to which the so-called mainstream parties have reduced British education over the last fifty years

I have very limited experience with the Scottish police, which is as it should be in a free society. They are invariably pleasant, polite and helpful. The police don’t stop you for no reason.

I have an interest in a Portuguese business and so had reason to be there for a week over the recent General Election. Here in the UK, we are brainwashed by the chatocracy that life is dire here whilst it is so much better everywhere else, especially in the EU. Funnily enough this is rubbish,
We don’t usually go in for sympathy at The Frank Report, but having had the wisdom tooth from Hell extracted this Thursday, alongside doctor’s orders to lay off the sauce, I’m feeling pretty sorry for myself. Few of us can afford a dip in intelligence, but it’s safe to say I’m now well into negative

In an era defined by global uncertainty and unpredictable challenges, the state of Britain’s defence capability is dangerously compromised. A bold reappraisal of future requirements is necessary to prepare the country for the uncertainties we face. The world today resembles a cracked mirror, with its unpredictable fractures presenting unique threats to our values, way of

Things are not looking good for the Conservatives. Every day it appears, they give themselves a lower chance of pulling through at next year’s general election. When Rishi Sunak was elected leader of the Conservative Party back in 2022, he had five key priorities on his mind: to halve inflation; grow the economy; reduce national

We hear a lot about “white privilege” these days, despite the facts tending to suggest that such a commodity has long-since ceased to pay a dividend to its shareholders. The irony is that there are few more comfortable gigs than banging on about the sins — real and imagined — of white people. Whilst alleged
