Keir Starmer

Dying the Starmer Way

If the polls are correct, Keir Starmer is likely to be elected as prime minister with a thumping majority. God help us. It is not only the mad woke legislation that Starmer and crew will impose that we should be worried about; it is also Starmer’s promise that he will give MPs a free vote […]

Hollyoaks

Hollywokes  

Hollyoaks is a popular soap on Channel 4, its target audience primarily composed of young teenagers and adults between the ages of 16-24. It has a decent rating of 3.6/5 and is enjoyed by 70% of google users, which beats Coronation Street at 68%. However, needless to say, it has become the latest show to

The Royal Family

Royal Reflections

People with nothing better to do or think about, and with a penchant for triviality, seem obsessed with every aspect of the British Royal Family. And (if the Daily Mail is to be believed), also with the seemingly ever expanding number of foreign, but mainly European, royals and even dispossessed royals on their various social

Margaret Thatcher

The Battle for Everything

I grew up thinking that the world would be forever divided between Communism and Capitalism, the West, and the East, for which reason the end of the Cold War with the complete intellectual defeat of socialism as an ideology came as a surprise. No one foresaw in 1980 that ten years later there would be

Net Zero Nuts 

As a regular user of Trainline, the one-stop-shop website for rail travel in the UK and Europe, I receive many unsolicited emails from them most of which I ignore. But I’m a sucker for an email that is headed ‘Congratulations Roger’, as I assume they are going to offer me something. So it was when

Cenotaph

Lest We Forget

OK readers, you can already guess where this diatribe is heading.  I agree that to ‘our’ 650 hangers-on, £1million is the sort of loose change found down the back of their John Lewis expense account sofas. To the rest of us though, here in normal-land, it’s still a good premium bond or lottery windfall.  What

Church

The Mother of all Reparations

The Church of England’s General Synod is sipping not so much communion wine as guzzling identity politics’ moonshine. Rather than telling perpetually aggrieved activists that Christ advocates forgiveness, Synod has decided to cough up a billion pounds in reparations for the Church’s historic profits from the transatlantic slave trade. At a time when church buildings

Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian’s Stonewall

I was taken to Hadrian’s Wall as a kid by my parents. Being Scottish, we were keen to see this mighty structure; built to keep us out of England and confined to our native land. And this was long before the SNP were in charge. We were somewhat underwhelmed -we had a higher wall around

International Women’s Day

I have to confess as a fully paid up member of the Patriarchy, International Women’s Day has never really done it for me. It does take the shine rather unsportingly off the wife-beating, rape and misogyny if you have to pretend to give a shit about the feminist cause in the process.  But that was

Islam must be taken in hand

Islam Needs Taking in Hand

The following was written almost ten years ago as Britain sought to extricate itself from the European Union, but is as apposite now as it was then. Who would have thought that our overlords’ appeasement of Islam could get worse? And yet it has. As the weekly Hamas marches, the Rochdale buy-election and the treatment of
