One year ago today, July 31st, I attended a peaceful protest on Whitehall opposite Downing Street. Simply for peacefully standing in a crowd, I, along with some 120 other protestors, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police. I was then unlawfully detained for 20.5 hours and handcuffed behind my back, which caused me unnecessary physical pain […]

When the Government stops listening, people stop obeying. That’s when the real trouble starts. David Betz isn’t some bloke in the pub ranting about revolution. He’s a Professor of War Studies at King’s College London. In his essay, ‘Civil War Comes to the West‘, he outlines the precursors to societal collapse. Collapsing trust in institutions,

Now, as Antonio Gramsci might have put it, is the time of monsters. Our wassail is over; the Graces, my friend, have abandoned the earth; there below, the Greek ships wait. In short – Britain’s ruling regime is kaput. The only thing left to do is to wait and see how the decline plays out and plan as

Good heavens. Lots of heat and noise in the news this week about our useless, predatory, leaking, sewage-spewing water companies. Apparently a damning report has just found out that the water companies have been ripping us off for decades and that the supposed regulator, Ofwat, has been worse than useless. But hold on a minute.

In the good old days when London Calling marked the week even more than the publication of the Spectator or the Beano, I heard our general editor, Toby Young, use the phrase ‘jot and tittle’. It means, simply, ‘every little mark’, every little bit of script, down to the last dotted i and crossed t.

Jean Paul Sartre said that hell was other people. Did he live in Montecito near to Harry and Meghan? Schopenhauer thought existence an endless cycle of suffering. No wonder nobody attended his lectures at the University of Berlin, where he scheduled the death fests at the same time as Hegel’s. Schopenhauer’s sermons on the horrors

How refreshing to discover an anti-feminist psychiatrist. Very few people in the ‘helping professions’ have the courage to openly oppose the prevailing orthodoxy. Hannah Spier is well placed to do so because the Norwegian psychiatrist is currently taking time out from her career to raise her three children. She’s now living in Switzerland and producing

What is the purpose of the state? Increasingly, it appears to be to secure something called ‘equality’. But we long ago moved past the point at which this was achieved through formal equality in the sense of everybody being equal before the law. What we now seem to expect is to experience equality in what

Resolving the Middle East conflict requires intellectual honesty, historical context and moral clarity. These are not border disputes. They are existential struggles rooted in theology, ideology and survival. The recent Israeli strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure underscore how much higher the stakes have become. The origins of this enmity stretch back over 1,300 years. The
Iran is Not Rational. It’s Part of the Islamist Death Cult Read More »
There is an increasingly palpable sentiment that the elite educational institutions across the Western world are changing, and not for the better. Still, the reputations of Oxford and Cambridge retain a veneer of exceptional knowledge-creation based on their high educational standards, merit-based admission of students and the collective genius of historic alumni. The binary star-system
