Christmas is far and away my favourite time of the year. A rare moment in the calendar to slow down and unwind. The chance to savour the food and the wine, however humbly it arrives on the table. A time to reflect on the year, warts and all, and an opportunity to be grateful for […]

“I don’t pay any attention to Elon Musk” opined the politician turned talking head, adopting the de haut en bas tones of Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey. He is, of course, only a politician turned talking head because he lost his seat at the election, which leads to the perhaps surprising implication that the views

Regular readers may remember my struggle a year ago to get an A.I. to produce an image for Christmas. Being every bit as male, cheap and lazy in 2024 as I was in 2023, and having the additional justification that it would be an interesting check on the improvement in our soon-to-be silicon overlords, I

When the Labour Party chose Jeremy Corbyn as its leader, Peter Hitchens wrote an article for the Daily Mail asking whether the Conservative Party could choose a true conservative leader now that the Labour Party had a true socialist as theirs. What the Conservatives had as prime minister during Corbyn’s party leadership were three leaders
Christmas is upon us once more, which means we’re just a few eggnogs away from the New Year festivities and the concomitant shame of the ‘Honours List’.

The defining question of our time is surely whether Islam will adapt to Western values—or whether our cowardly leaders will force Western values to adapt to the 7th century barbarism they seem determined to import. Mohammedanism may have been spread by the sword, but as Liberals never tire of reminding us—the pen is supposedly mightier.

Known for their ethics of non-violence and the forgiveness of enemies, how easy it is for people who hate Christians to persecute them. Now if Jesus had advocated violence and conquest as a way of spreading the faith and had given his blessing to armed resistance and terrorism, potential persecutors would leave Christians well alone.
Archbishop Justin Welby has just announced that he is resigning for failing to bring the abusive Church of England lay reader John Smyth to justice. And it is about time too, for the stench of hypocrisy that emanates from Welby (and the self-righteous Smyth too) is worse than old sewage. Welby, who has thundered against

As I wrote in the wake of the Southport massacre (where three beautiful girls were slain and a further nine seriously injured at the hands of a savage), this was ‘the end of the line’: “As a fresh, incoming Prime Minister, Keir Starmer now has a golden opportunity to get tough on terrorism and put the country
