I have an announcement to make: I admit that, as a child, the soap opera ‘Crossroads’ was one of my guilty pleasures. I have no idea why. The sets were so flimsy it looked as if they’d been held together with paper glue. As false as the sets was the acting. It was like watching…
Last Saturday, December 9th, my best friend and I took our annual Christmas jaunt to London. It’s become something of a tradition, even though we’re now getting to the age where a city of over 9 million people is more of a chore than an enjoyment. On this occasion, we decided to avoid Central London…
After the majority vote in the United Kingdom for Brexit, the Irish Republic became one of those places ardent Remainers looked to for comfort and solace. Whereas we were portrayed as economically, politically and philosophically retarded, the Irish state became the Euro beacon of enlightenment. It was a fringe country of the continent fully embracing…
Ever since Boris Johnson was unceremoniously dumped out of the Conservatives, our governing party has been making a concerted effort to alienate itself from the voter coalition that put it into power with an impressive 80-seat majority just four years ago. It will insist on hammering nail after nail into its electoral coffin – with…
For large-scale immigration to work reasonably well in any society, the one thing that must be insisted upon is integration and the adoption of a common set of values. When you have a combination of thousands flocking to your shores every year and then add in the toxic doctrine of multiculturalism, what you are left…
I apologise in advance if the reader finds the title of this article a little too flippant given the subject matter. My aim is not to rake over the appalling events in southern Israel last week, but rather to evaluate the response in this country and how our appallingly weak media and politicians have refused…
I first heard of GB News whilst on holiday in Torquay in May 2021. It was towards the tail end of the COVID19 hysterical and freedom-denying nightmare known as the ‘pandemic’. Not content with condemning two of the most travel-hungry individuals in the world to a week on the self-styled ‘English Riviera’, fate also ensured…
When Tony Blair’s government launched their crusade to bring devolution to the United Kingdom after their landslide election in 1997, there was not shortage of voices urging caution. One of the most notable of these was the late Labour MP Tam Dalyell, most famous for coining the ‘West Lothian’ conundrum on the democratic deficit faced…
One of the political campaigns I was proudest to be involved in was the effort to retain the name of the Royal Ulster Constabulary at the turn of the Millennium. I flew to Northern Ireland twice that year and attended meetings organised to securing the great name of a force that had been instrumental in…
Following the decision of the Labor Party in Australia to pass a motion endorsing what they call ‘the reunification of Ireland’ (actually it means the break up of the United Kingdom in legal and constitutional terms), I decided this day to pen a letter to the appropriate department at the Australian High Commission in London….
Stop right there, good people! The hour of doom is at hand. We’re no longer just in the global warming phase. As of 2023 the world, Barry McGuire-style, is truly on the eve of destruction. How do we know this? Because the esteemed UN Secretary General, António Guterres, says so. Yes, the SC of an…
According to the UK media (never paragons of accuracy), Monday will herald the beginning of the most visible manifestation of the government’s unwillingness or incapability (delete as appropriate) to control our borders. Portland Port, near Weymouth, will be blighted by the presence of the giant Bibby Stockholm barge (https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/bibby-stockholm-asylum-seekers-robert-jenrick-dorset-cornwall-fire-brigades-union-b1098924.html) where the government will begin housing…
It was an exciting atmosphere down in the newsrooms of Sky and the BBC on Thursday evening. The usual commentators were getting ready to give their usual analyses; Jo Coburn’s voice positively quivered with excitement as the counts at the various centres were taking place; John Curtice was wheeled out like a mature bottle of…
On Saturday, 8th July, my best mate and I were travelling back to Yorkshire from Brighton on the 19:57 Grand Central train service. As the train pulled out of London King’s Cross station, the catering manager announced the buffet car would be opening shortly. After reeling off a quick list of available snacks, she informed…
Hamtramck. It’s a place in the United States most on here will not have heard of. In the heyday of car production in Detroit, this small city in the suburbs was notable for its huge Polish-American population who mostly worked in the motor industry. Since the decline and fall of Detroit (with de-population rates unparalleled…
