It is over a decade since the BBC questioned whether the Church of England was still the ‘Tory Party at prayer’. In 2014, reckoning that most English Anglicans voted Conservative, it concluded that it was. It is doubtful if that is still the case, so obsessed with minority rights, reparations and institutional racism is the […]

Of all the famous ‘conspiracy theories’, the Great Replacement (that white populations in Western countries are being systematically replaced by non-white immigrants) is arguably the most well-known. I have always been reluctant to entertain it, partly on the grounds that conspiracies are usually oversimplifications of more complex issues; partly because political incompetence gets you to

Atheism isn’t very fashionable on the Right nowadays. It never really was. But I never saw a conflict between unbelieving and Right-wing notions, in fact they seemed highly compatible: evidence-based; a rejection of utopian thinking; rational; grounded in reality. Thus around 20 years ago I was basking in ‘thrilling godlessness’, as Martin Amis had it,

It is not so much that karma is what we all know her to be, but that she insists on giving such frequent demonstrations of the fact. Over the weekend I found myself pondering the scene in The Queen in which Prince Charles, concerned about regal inertia in the face of rising popular discontent over

The United States of America is undergoing a rather brilliant innovation right now, a federal shutdown. Essentially, nothing that is run by the Government is functioning and indefinitely, as the Trump administration – currently in the fourth shutdown under Trump (a presidential record) – haggles with the opposition over the allocation of funds under the

For those unfamiliar with the multimillionaire ‘comedian’ Sir Lenny Henry CBE, he is the latest in a long line of non-victims demanding restitution for injustices they never suffered. Having fashioned a career stereotyping his fellow black Britons – a career which arguably only exists because of the colour of his skin – Henry famously once

It had been many years since I was last on a commuter train. This is not, I confess, a particular source of sadness. From an early age, it was noted that my concept of personal space was not dissimilar to the Roman Empire’s view of physical space – what’s mine is mine and what’s yours
Bleak news for the 9,000 primary school children served by the Merton School Sports Partnership which has decided to ban parents and spectators from their sports events. As usual ‘safeguarding’ is used as justification: “Over the years we have sadly observed an increase in safeguarding concerns when parents/carers come to support their children at our

Recent research by Channel 4 showed that black people, despite making up 4% of the British population, are present in 50% of advertisements. Why is this? To even ask the question is to play with fire. But let’s get our hands warm. Essentially, I compare it to foreign dictators’ rallies, where no one can be

In this post I will give a version of my defenestration from my job in an industry I had worked in for over 30 years. I say ‘give a version’, because legally I am forbidden from going into the details. Everything I write will be true, but I will alter some details, blur others, not
