In 1260, John de Balliol, Northern warlord and father of a future King of Scotland, had a problem. His tiff with the Bishop of Durham had turned toxic and the King had taken the cleric’s side. Something had to be done. Doubtless against his will, he submitted to the bishop’s authority and performed a penance, […]

We do keep banging on about illegal migrants in these pages, but that is only because they keep arriving. Once it stops, we will stop. That said, we’re off to a flying start. Last time I checked we had deported three illegal migrants to France under our ‘one in, one out’ policy. Otherwise, according to

I have no doubt that many readers of TNC will already be familiar with the BBC Radio 4 sitcom Ed Reardon’s Week. I write this in the hope that I can point some others towards this excellent programme, which began in 2005 and ran its 16th series this year. The eponymous star, played by co-creator Christopher Douglas, is
In the US, as here, the voluble Left suffers from what you might call a “determinism of malice”. No gobbet of spite gets wasted; that’s just the way things are. They can’t help themselves. Perhaps the motivating assumption is that to be a free thinker, you must applaud every moral obscenity that pops up on

I predicted recently in these pages that, whatever the government claim they are going to do about illegal migration, they won’t. And once again, they haven’t. The last Tory government talked a good talk about flying illegals out under two Home Secretaries, Priti Patel and Suella Braverman. But each time they tried, even with planes

J. K. Rowling’s work, I confess, leaves me somewhat cold. Harry Potter is just an Enid Blyton boarding school story with sprinklings of magic, cod Latin and dubious politics (the Ministry of Magic imprisons and tortures its political opponents and they’re the good guys. Really?). One thing she got brilliantly right, I think though, was
The savage murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, took place almost three weeks ago. It has, alas, only recently been acknowledged by the mainstream media. The CCTV footage, widely circulated via social media, is chilling for so many reasons—not least of which is the fact that the killer, DeCarlos

It is no coincidence that Charlie Kirk was shot in cold blood while speaking at a campus to young people, wearing a T-shirt with the word Freedom written across it. We do not know the identity of the person who shot and killed Mr Kirk, but we know he murdered him with a sniper’s bullet,
There is a worrying trend in the West, whereby the authorities appear to have concluded it’s far easier to prosecute the victims of crime than it is to deal with the actual criminals themselves. The latest example of this is the so-called ‘Sophie of Dundee,’ Mayah Sommers; arrested and charged by Police Scotland for the ‘possession of

This column finds the occupant of the man cave in low spirits. Strutting my stuff in the gym about ten weeks ago, I overestimated my strength or underestimated the weight of a couple of kettlebells. Initially I thought I had hurt my back, so I paid a visit to the physio – paying a lot
