I had never heard of the journalist Dom Phillips and had no idea he was missing; now I hear he is dead, along with his local guide, and identifiable only by dental records. I guess it does not take long for a body to decompose in the Amazon rainforest. But since his death I have […]

A bunch of Muslim fanatics is protesting about something. Nothing new there, but what is it this time? A teacher daring to show a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed? A pig farm in the middle of Bradford? A string of sex shops opening in predominantly Muslim areas, or has someone else written a book suggesting

“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 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

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.
