IT’S NOT news that this government is desperate for a decent headline and keen to secure its support amongst what it thinks of as its tribe. So Mr Sunak has just announced £2.1million of support to veterans leaving the armed forces. Cue happy picture of him and Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer. Unfortunately and predictably, the logic […]
ACCORDING to the jaunty email I’ve just received from Debenhams, it’s time I was getting ‘prepped for prom’. It warns me: ‘Prom season is approaching, so don’t leave it too late! Debenhams has everything you need to prepare for the occasion.’ It offers me a charming array of ‘occasionwear’, which I must admit is quite attractive. […]
IN my article of March 6, I suggested that English Heritage had outdone the National Trust in wokery by its claim that Hadrian’s Wall symbolised LGBT history. The National Trust has now responded in an attempt to regain its woke clown crown. For several years the Trust has seen itself as the custodian of the […]
THERE’S just no pleasing some people. The ‘KlimaSeniorinnen’, a group of 2,000 elderly Swiss women who, according to WorldData, are already blessed by living in one of the top five nations for female life expectancy, have won a judgment from Strasbourg’s European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) which would force their government into taking legislative measures supposedly […]
IT WAS on the day of Churchill’s funeral in January 1965 that I escaped from the cold into a café in Paddington to warm up over a coffee: the sort that we’d now call a cappuccino. At that time it was known as an espresso, and was invariably served in a Pyrex cup and saucer. As […]

A PSYCHOLOGIST is being ostracised by her own profession for simply raising questions about the potential harms of social justice ideology being adopted uncritically. Having been ‘cancelled’ by the British Psychological Society, Dr Kirsty Miller now faces an assault from teachers in Dundee and across Scotland who are threatening her ability to work. Her case […]
THERE is a long history of senior officers leaving the armed forces and only then going on the record to state that all is far from well. They seldom explain why they didn’t fix it while they were serving; the few who do generally blame a lack of money – which is to say a lack […]
I’ve written many times that what the media routinely calls “culture wars” are inevitably just normal people’s reactions to the latest cultural putsch being shoved on us by the left. “Cultural warriors” is the name given to anyone to the right of Mao who garners attention for refusing to go along with the left’s program.

UNDER Scotland’s Hate Crime and Public Order Act, citizens may be prosecuted for speech in the privacy of their own home. The Act came into effect on April 1.
