Silence Can Be Golden

It appears to be the case that one of the last places where red-bloodied English patriotism can be displayed without the ‘progressive’ left pouring shame on it is at sporting events. It is on football terraces where we see the purest form of national pride. England’s fans belt out the national anthem, proudly wave their […]

Horrible History

The year is 2034, the British voting public have again made their decisive choices in the general election – all seats have been won by unopposed LibLabConGreenSF ‘Grand Coalition’ candidates (except for maverick aged Reform MP Nigel Farage in Clacton-on-Sea). No part of the ‘Grand Coalition’ can agree who should be Prime Minister, and the

Nostalgia is a very peculiar animal. It’s apparently OK to be nostalgic about the very recent past, say the last twenty-five years, but even then there are things and people who are considered ‘off limits’. It goes without saying however, that it’s definitely ‘far-right’ to hanker after the more distant past, even if this is

Man and Wasp

I have had a lifelong fear of wasps. I’m not sure where this unusually intense fear originated. Interestingly, it took many years before I was actually stung by one, and it turned out to be a minor event, like a needle prick. Although I have yet to be stung by a bee, they surprisingly don’t

Things Can Only Get Worser

If you have ever wondered what it is like being in the midst of a revolution just look around now. This may be a revolution in which the buildings are left standing, but it is a revolution, nevertheless. The ‘long march’ through the institutions was accomplished long ago and we are now witnessing the finishing
