On 17 July 1812, a small force of British troops led by the audacious Captain Charles Roberts and supported by white and indigenous Canadian militia, launched a surprise attack on Fort Mackinac. Men of the Royal Artillery dragged a six-pounder cannon to the ridge above the fort and fired a single round before demanding the […]

Amidst so much gloom and doom in the UK right now, with the economy nose-diving, cold damp weather and gazing longingly across the Atlantic where so much good sense is being enacted within the USA, we need to make the best of the occasional glimmers of hope that flicker in our land. It struck me
The new lawyer for serial killer Lucy Letby has sent an application to the CCRC (Criminal Cases Review Commission) to have the case resubmitted to the Court of Appeal. His claim is that the new evidence of a chair of ‘medical experts’ means the case is ‘demolished’. ‘If the experts are correct, no crime was

In the space of a twenty minute car journey the other night I wondered, listening to the evening news on BBC Radio 4, if I had in fact missed the news and was listening to a new 6:30pm comedy show. Two items in a row suggested that to me. Either that, or the world has

Peter Hitchens needs no defence, least of all from me. But, given some recent comments and replies on the UNN Telegram site I thought it might be appropriate to consider his recent comments regarding the case of Axel Rudakubana. Specifically, Mr Hitchens questions whether it is correct to refer to Rudakubana as a terrorist and

I have written previously about the moral case for the reinstatement of capital punishment in Britain – that was in the harrowing case of Lucy Letby. While it was certainly questionable whether the evidence against Letby met the stringent threshold required for such a judgement, Axel Rudakubana obviates the needs for such doubts by A)

Axel Rudakubana has been sentenced to over 50 years in jail. In his sentencing the judge actually said ‘51 days’ – let’s hope that was a mistake that his lawyer cannot challenge! It is likely that he will never be released. Sadly, as he did us a favour and pleaded guilty, the details of the

Free speech is about to get a much-needed shot in the arm. Thanks to the reinauguration of Donald Trump, even arch-suppressors of free speech like Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook appear to have had a Damascene conversion.
