‘It’s a Man’s World’ James Brown mellifluously informed us back in the 1960’s. That might have been true once – it might even be true now, but unlike James we are forced to look further afield for our evidence. Assuming, as a man, you still wish to make the cars, the trains and the electric […]

My thoughts as we begin another month: One of the greatest feats of self-control any of us pull off is when the words “I told you so” cross our synapses but not our lips. This is Labour’s problem with “Clothesgate”. Look at any word cloud about the Prime Minister and after “Boring”, the next most
Britain is floundering, there’s no getting away from it. As to why, you could write an encyclopaedia on the subject. The criminal absence of conservatism since Thatcher, to the extent that a third of the electorate mistook Keir Starmer for a viable political option outside of North Korea; insane virtue-signals like Net Zero, which sees

We are being assaulted by such a plethora of viruses these days that it is a wonder any of us are still alive. We had barely emerged from the Covid-19 scam and its bewildering array of scariants, then monkeypox trotted along threatening to wipe us out. Now we have bird flu, West Nile virus, Oropouche

If they are not already doing so, the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary, the de facto custodians of the English language, ought to be considering a new noun – ‘a lammy.’ Inspired by the Falstaff of the front benches, David Lammy, it means a public figure, such as a politician, who wishes to appear
In the infamous words of Tony Blair’s advisor Andrew Neather, mass immigration policy was ‘rubbing the Right’s nose in diversity’. The New Labour government was determined to smash traditional society, and the wrecking ball has been swinging ever since. The country has become almost unrecognisable to how it looked before the end of last century,

Youth is famously wasted on the young, while old age comes to us all. But their distant cousin, middle age, may be the worst and the least-forgiving of the three acts of the lifespan. Trapped: no longer a child, yet unable to throw off the shackles of responsibility and give up caring completely, middle age

As I sit shivering in my garden office, debating with my wife whether it is time to put on the central heating, I try to conjure up the halcyon days of the summer of 2024 when we languished in the garden, cold beer in hand and the traditional handkerchiefs knotted round our heads. Except that
“An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman walk into a pub…” or so the joke goes. If you’re old enough to remember this staple gag of English standup, you’ll know that it got its laughs from the Irishman doing or saying something hilariously silly. Such condescension towards Irish people as charming fools is certainly no
