The latest mass stabbing, this time on a London-bound Doncaster train, took place on Saturday evening. In the terrifying confines of unguarded interconnected train carriages, a 32-year-old man launched a frenzied attack with a ‘large kitchen knife’ on unsuspecting passengers – seriously injuring 11, one of whom is in a “critical but stable condition”. Thanks […]

Predictably, the recent BBC Question Time (QT) debate on benefit cuts was hijacked by the professional bleeding hearts, who like to portray any proposed reform as an attack on working people. Unfortunately for them they shot themselves in both feet, when a woman who admitted being on benefits for ‘mild anxiety’ had no problem talking

Eleven train passengers were seriously injured on Saturday night, on a line I use regularly between Doncaster and London (as of publication, five have been discharged and one remains in a life-threatening condition). I must say the fact I use that line and sometimes that very train really brings it home. I hope, whoever those

It is over a decade since the BBC questioned whether the Church of England was still the ‘Tory Party at prayer’. In 2014, reckoning that most English Anglicans voted Conservative, it concluded that it was. It is doubtful if that is still the case, so obsessed with minority rights, reparations and institutional racism is the

Of all the famous ‘conspiracy theories’, the Great Replacement (that white populations in Western countries are being systematically replaced by non-white immigrants) is arguably the most well-known. I have always been reluctant to entertain it, partly on the grounds that conspiracies are usually oversimplifications of more complex issues; partly because political incompetence gets you to

Atheism isn’t very fashionable on the Right nowadays. It never really was. But I never saw a conflict between unbelieving and Right-wing notions, in fact they seemed highly compatible: evidence-based; a rejection of utopian thinking; rational; grounded in reality. Thus around 20 years ago I was basking in ‘thrilling godlessness’, as Martin Amis had it,

It is not so much that karma is what we all know her to be, but that she insists on giving such frequent demonstrations of the fact. Over the weekend I found myself pondering the scene in The Queen in which Prince Charles, concerned about regal inertia in the face of rising popular discontent over

The United States of America is undergoing a rather brilliant innovation right now, a federal shutdown. Essentially, nothing that is run by the Government is functioning and indefinitely, as the Trump administration – currently in the fourth shutdown under Trump (a presidential record) – haggles with the opposition over the allocation of funds under the

For those unfamiliar with the multimillionaire ‘comedian’ Sir Lenny Henry CBE, he is the latest in a long line of non-victims demanding restitution for injustices they never suffered. Having fashioned a career stereotyping his fellow black Britons – a career which arguably only exists because of the colour of his skin – Henry famously once

It had been many years since I was last on a commuter train. This is not, I confess, a particular source of sadness. From an early age, it was noted that my concept of personal space was not dissimilar to the Roman Empire’s view of physical space – what’s mine is mine and what’s yours
