Since then I have been considering why it is that I think of myself as a conservative, why that outlook reflects my values […]

If you want still to rejoin the EU, ask yourself after reading about nearly four decades of IMF economic data, how in the name of good judgement anyone might want to do that. For those four decades the EU has been a graveyard for UK GDP along with the rest of the EU. Over that period the world and his wife has become comparatively

I shed no tears for Dame Alison Rose following her resignation earlier this week. However, the problems highlighted by Mr Farage’s debanking are I believe rather more systemic than is perhaps realised. Having had one of my business accounts ‘exited’ by part of Dame Alison’s former empire I know only too well Mr Farage’s pain

The World Health Organisation is an agency of the United Nations, officially established in 1948. It claims to promote health whilst also highlighting poverty and environmental factors that may cause or exacerbate health problems worldwide. However, with its promotion of the Chinese style lockdowns over covid and its proposal for a global pandemic treaty which

A lesson that the state—the modern, enlightened, left-liberal, Anglo-Saxon state—finds hard to learn is where the limits of its power lie. It fancies it can do all sorts of things that can’t be done. It does seem to have learned that it can’t do what it likes abroad but only because ‘abroad’ has shown itself

I don’t want to underestimate the need to fight the culture wars but, sooner or later (though probably not by Christmas), they will be over and we shall wake up from the bad dream of wokery. But what will we wake up to? Almost certainly not anything to gladden a conservative. For dislocations and derangements

Do British universities, as they are presently run, ‘advance education, learning and research’ for the ‘public benefit’, as required by charity law? Do the high salaries paid to CEO-like Vice-Chancellors? If not, then what? Mary Synge has an answer: “If a university is a charity, it is as much a charity as any other and must comply with the full reach of charity law” and if it behaves in a way that is not “in the best interests” of its charitable purpose “charity law makes the basis for a challenge.”

When I was little more than a tiny tot, I thought I was a dog. I would crawl around on all fours and curl up in the dog basket. I asked to have my dinner in a bowl on the floor and would retreat under the table when unwelcome visitors came to call. Once, I

Modern, online job recruitment scenarios almost always follow a predictable standard pattern:
First, a telecall completely out of the blue after months or even years of silence, from a casual, cheery-sounding commercial agency worker who talks from a script, with modern over-familiar style, first-name form of address, and insincere-sounding form greeting, as if he’s your long-lost best friend.

It could be that Christianity, itself, may soon no longer be acceptable. The idea of combining the Muslim and Christian faiths into one unified religion, Chrislam, has been around for some time. Some view the actions of the Vatican in recent years as a step towards this union, and with the pope co-signing the Human Fraternity document with the Grand Iman of Al-Azhar bringing closer co-operation between Islam and Christianity, many Christians are worried about the future of their faith.
