Christmas Cancelled

I thought it was just me, but it transpires there are fewer Christmas decorations in Hong Kong this year than in previous years. A colleague confirmed, under orders from China, Hong Kong had been instructed to tone down the outward manifestations of the Christmas festivities this year. I often find myself in Hong Kong in […]

No Whites Please, We’re British

The next James Bond is increasingly unlikely to be representative of the British Isles, thanks to the intelligence services (MI5, MI6, and GCHQ) who are offering final-year university students a 2025 summer internship, provided they have the good taste not to be ‘White British’: ‘For the 2024/25 academic year, if you’re in your final or

MasterChef Meltdown

MasterChef anchorman Gregg Wallace probably has no idea what a favour he has done for the nation. His inappropriate shenanigans with women (allegedly) on the BBC programme has resulted in the Christmas specials being binned and consigned to the dustbin of broadcasting history, along with all of Jimmy Savile’s Top of The Pops episodes. MasterChef,

A Darkening Reality 

In the shadows of what was once a thriving culture, the tragic death of designer Luis Braccal a few weeks ago underlines the brutal reality now gripping Venezuela. Braccal, a beloved figure in Caracas’ entertainment scene and designer of my wife’s dress for the Miss Venezuela beauty pageant of 2004, was savagely beaten by security

Racist Swimming Pools

Once upon a time, progressives were truly progressive. They had people like Dr Martin Luther King Jr., who believed sensible and decent things such as it is best to judge a person by the content of his or her character rather than by his or her skin colour. Ignore the late New Atheist Christopher Hitchens’
