The philosopher John Rawls developed the idea of the veil of ignorance – that we should design society so that we would choose to live in it, even if we did not know what position we would hold. What was meant as a political thought experiment can, I think, be turned into a historical parlour […]

Anglicans across the world must be so relieved that the newly confirmed – although not yet installed – Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Doollaly*, is going to focus on misogyny (does anyone else have problems spelling that word?) in her new role as head of the Anglican community worldwide. The country is facing a spiritual crisis,

I was sceptical about COVID-19 from the start. I was in Wuhan when it started (something I only realised in retrospect) and one year into the ‘pandemic’ not a single colleague or friend there had contracted it. I also knew that people were not dropping dead in the streets. I was not in denial about
With the Christmas goose well and truly cooked – much like Keir Starmer’s hopes of leading the government into the next general election – the New Year festivities are once again upon us. What better time to dish out gongs to the grifters, gaslighters and gobshites who’ve conspired to make 2025 the unmitigated disaster it

It has finally arrived, all thousand-plus pages of it: the second UK Covid-19 Inquiry Report. Years in the making, tens of millions of pounds in cost, and delivering exactly what it was constructed to deliver. Not truth, not accountability, not a sober assessment of what happened, but a carefully curated political document in which the conclusions were pre-determined

One of the rare benefits of the UK asylum system, is that it provide endless opportunities for the Cassandras of this world – amongst whom I count myself – to prophecize our collective doom. In these pages for instance, I have documented the insane reasons criminals get to stay in Britain; Starmer’s admission that we

Charles Moore was appointed by Margaret Thatcher as her authorised biographer. He published three volumes between 2013 and 2019. Now, timed to coincide with the centenary of his subject’s birth this month, he has condensed those into a single-volume thousand-pager, which I highly recommend for all those interested in the question of how to rescue Britain

First Italy, now South America. Populism is awake, and it sounds like common sense. From Milei in Buenos Aires to Meloni in Rome and Independents in Basingstoke, the revenge of the ordinary working man and woman, long sneered at by the metropolitan elite, is in full swing. In Buenos Aires, Javier Milei’s alliance has just

If you have republican tendencies, then this book may tip you over the edge. Ostensibly about Prince Andrew – the Duke of York – and his former, yet strangely not estranged, wife Sarah Ferguson it is impossible not to see the sub-plot which reads a bit like “why did Her Majesty the Queen (Elizabeth II)
