You would imagine that proposals to devolve politically the area where you live would be big news, especially in the area where you live. But the first I knew about this was when I saw a sticker with a QR code at a bus stop in Hull. We were exhorted to “have our say” on […]

Magdalen College, the wealthiest constitutional college of the University of Oxford, has come under fire for scrapping a traditional St George’s Day celebration, which falls every year on 23 April and honours the patron Saint of England. The dinner has been replaced by a ‘special’ banquet for Eid – the second consecutive year the college

Since Hamas’ pogrom on 7 October 2023, we have had much confirmation of what we knew already: that the Metropolitan Police operate a two-tier policing policy. Certain types of protestors such as genocidal jihadis are given carte balance to commit public disorder acts whereas others, such as peaceful women holding a candle-lit vigil for the

The campaign to airbrush white males from society (customarily euphemised as ‘diversity’), is almost complete. White men are now the most hated group in their own land. Their very existence traumatises ethnic colleagues, and worst of all they’re too obtuse to understand that ‘not being racist isn’t enough’. As the last bastion of institutions succumbs to the

Our right Royal Navy has been the subject of ridicule on these pages before and they’re here again. Royal Navy ships remain tied to the quay in Portsmouth for lack of fuel, our latest and greatest aircraft carrier was towed to the scrapyard and they have long celebrated their members (no pun intended) who are
We are through Ramadan and Eid Mubarak has been called which means that Muslims can now get back to eating during the day instead of eating all night. ‘Oh’, I hear you say, you thought that they fasted? Well, no, not exactly. If you missed the fact that Ramadan has been upon us then you

I run an engineering business that I started nearly 40 years ago. Don’t believe the hype that running one’s own business gives you independence and freedom. Instead. you create a millstone, but equally it is a drug and your baby, so one keeps at it from one day to the next. The drug part is my love

During the Second World War, the Irish Republic remained neutral, a stance that became a core part of Irish identity and axiomatic to its foreign policy. Consequently, Ireland is not a NATO member. However, it is possible to argue that Irish neutrality is and has never been absolute. During World War Two, the Irish

When someone accuses you of something widely thought disreputable, something you don’t believe you are guilty of, you deny it, instinctively. Unfortunately, this makes you subject to the Mandy Rice-Davies Manoeuvre: Well, he would, wouldn’t he? (Often abbreviated to MRDA: ‘Mandy Rice-Davis applies’.) And this is a manoeuvre to which neither Steven Ward’s defence counsel
