You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down…. (Abraham Lincoln) Money was created as a […]

Once upon a time it was considered rather vulgar (at least in my family) to put up Christmas decorations before 1st December, and even that early was thought a bit ‘common’. How we mocked the people who felt it necessary to display anything more than a tasteful bauble-decorated tree, and their collection of received Christmas

I have just attended a major health conference somewhere in South East Asia which had delegates from over 40 countries. Australia and Canada were well represented. I have been to both Australia and Canada many times and I love both countries. But, increasingly, kow-towing to the indigenous peoples is evident. It has moved from polite

I’ve written before about my disgust with most of the UK Dentistry profession (the woefully awful NHS variety and the Mafia-inspired private practitioners with their new patient waiting lists, rip off first appointment assessment fees and thereafter hard-selling of unnecessary costly cosmetic work). Having finally given up on Hull area dentists, it’s probably been four

I’ve just got back from an idyllic few weeks in Crete, staying mainly off the beaten tourist track as my propensity for a Malia all-inclusive sun, booze and sex fest isn’t that of a teenager, or indeed those Malia-bound much older types always encountered at UK airports, typically wearing football shirts, jogging bottoms, sliders with

Unless you routinely shop only at John Lewis/Waitrose or other even more up market emporia, you might not have heard of the phenomenon that is Temu? For anyone who hasn’t heard (really? where have you been?), Temu is a Chinese business that sells goods online with delivery to your own UK address or convenient pick
The most persecuted religion in the world is neither Islam nor Judaism, but Christianity. By persecution, I mean how Open Doors, a charity that advocates Christian freedom of worship, defines it, which is ‘any hostility experienced as a result of one’s identification with Christ. This can include hostile attitudes, words and actions towards Christians’. So,

One hundred days of Britain under Keir Starmer’s stewardship, and the Labour Party’s dedication to scandal is nothing if not impressive. Thus far, the front benches are replete with allegations of cronyism, bribery, and a taste for rather obvious double standards. Political nicknames usually take some time to forge, but not for ‘two-tier Keir’—whose evident

And this week’s prize for the stupidest bloody university in Britain goes to…Nottingham University! Sadly, we are almost inured to the inanities we now witness on a daily basis. If it isn’t a bag of nuts with a ‘this bag contains nuts’ warning, sleeping pills that ‘may cause drowsiness’ and bottles of gas that proclaim
