Need to pop to the shop for a loaf of bread or a pint of milk? If you do, wearing a helmet and carrying a rolling pin would be wise. Retail theft, the act of stealing goods from a shop, is a major problem in the UK at the moment and nothing seems to be […]

Policing is currently at a crisis point in Britain. As almost 95% of crime goes unsolved, officer morale is down, and public trust at an all-time low. For all intents and purposes, the police are now much like the NHS—a non-service the taxpayer is forced to fund but cannot use. Which is why (again like

An image of an androgynous-looking character in a surfing position wearing long shorts, blue hair and large lips, with scars below each nipple, has been spotted on one of their vans. The image was
It’s a couple of weeks since the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament issued its scathing report ‘China’, where it outlined the ‘whole-of-state’ infiltration of UK institutions by the Middle Kingdom. Every sector: industry; finance; defence; and universities is penetrated. The veracity of such a report is hard to refute. There can be little doubt that the Chinese

Jack Watson & Roger Watson Much has been written about the Farage affair and his run in with Coutts Bank. It seems that almost every day there is a new revelation and, if all goes well, the story will run for a few more weeks. On 29th June, Nigel Farage, the broadcaster and former politician
