“Dear me” is all I can say having watched the Platinum Jubilee Concert broadcast from outside Buckingham Palace and the Mall. The highlight was definitely HM The Queen exchanging views on marmalade sandwiches with Paddington Bear. Why she felt the need to do this or got talked into it however remains a mystery. It was […]

Genesis chapter 5 verse 2 (“God created them male and female”) is so yesterday. How we laughed when Norfolk Constabulary announced that it was going to recognise 37 sexualities and genders, but it is clear now they were barely scratching the surface. The Civil Service has announced that they are identifying over 100 sexualities and

Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. As I wrote two years ago, the murder of George Floyd was a monstrous crime. The image of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck is a repugnant sight. George was no saint, but the police have a duty of protection to all, not just the good

The nation’s children have recently endured two years of social and educational deprivation. They are now more depressed, less able to socialise, behind with reading and counting and very young ones are having problems with facial recognition and communication. Scare the bejeebers out of them about a virus that they were unlikely to become infected

So, The Doctor in Dr Who is going to be played by Ncuti Gatwa, who is a black Scot of ambiguous sexuality. That’s three oppressed minorities ticked off in one. And before Humberside’s finest boys in blue are round here to ‘check my thinking’, let me fire off a sincere virtue signal. There were rumours

It’s the Democrats, not the ‘neo-con’ bogeymen, who the world should worry about. The party that has always portrayed itself as standing up for the little guy has a long record of starting wars and provoking internal conflict. The Democrats are at the vanguard of divisive identity politics, strongly supporting the Defund the Police campaign
From Potsdam to Putin, the Democrats have driven American interventionism Read More »
My late mother, always the mistress of the malapropism, once referred to the ‘Gouds and Skites’ when, in fact, she meant to say the Guides and Scouts; what we used to refer to as the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. The clue to the binary gender distribution between the two movements was in the name.

“Everything is brutal, now we’re being watched by Google” sang the Leicester based indie rock group Kasabian. It may not necessarily be brutal, but it is watching everything we do, making a record of the websites we visit, what we purchase, collecting our demographic details and sharing that information with others to whom it may
The NHS, the Nanny State’s military wing, has worked hard to install itself at the centre of our lives, instead of focussing on the nation’s health. Not content with being the vanguard of the masking, jabbing, social distancing and lockdown fanatics, it has now fallen for its own rhetoric of ‘saving the NHS’ and is

I have lamented elsewhere the woeful state of our police in the United Kingdom, in which I reflected on the almost total lack of Bobbies or Robertas on the beat (and no, I don’t mean a la David Lammy). Instead they have been replaced by obese and ill dressed ‘community officers’, usually swigging cans of
