Stop forcing these deadly dangerous EVs on us!

WITH a second electric bus catching fire in London after Christmas, (the first was in Potters Bar in 2022), isn’t it about time that the Government stopped pushing its pursuit of net zero, stopped forcing electric vehicles upon us and took a hint from the liable bus operators? Yes, very sensibly TfL has withdrawn its whole fleet.  If […]

Revolving doors at Climate Change Central

THESE are tumultuous times at the Climate Change Committee, which advises the Government on emissions targets. Professor Piers Forster is the interim chairman of the CCC replacing Lord Debden (John Selwyn Gummer) and has been for over 18 months, as the Government delays a permanent appointment.Forster describes Gummer as ‘such an inspirational leader and friend.

Oh for the days when competence counted for everything

I AM old enough to remember the days when the older folk, many of them conservative, took pity on the snowflake students who were ‘wasting their time with wimmin studies and gender studies’ in between doing Pilates and dying their hair blue. These students, with their demands for safe spaces, would soon enter the ‘real […]

After 12 years of frustration, Mark Steyn’s brave battle for freedom of speech reaches court today

LONG before the covid era of repression and free speech censorship, well before students and universities began their routine censoring of incorrect speech, sending those who transgressed into the social gulag of non persondom (remember Professor Tim Hunt stripped of his position for observing that women cried), Mark Steyn had taken up arms on thought control and in defence of […]

Damning indictment of the pro-Palestine UN apologists funded with OUR money

ON Friday, The Epoch Times published a succinct examination of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the only UN subsidiary dedicated solely to supporting Palestinians.  For years, I have been warning about UNRWA’s complicity in the Islamist war against Israel, and the naive and uncritical reporting of this UN agency. Established in 1949, […]

Kristallnacht and Katie Hopkins – The Conservative Woman

DRIVING into Stroud is like circling a drain, round and round, lower and lower, past the superstores which have sucked the life out of this Gloucestershire market town and so many others. Then we branched off and upwards, towards the Star Inn and Katie Hopkins’s gig. The session was a return visit, a thank you […]

Legalise dangerous drugs? Don’t be absurd

IN A recent comment piece for the Telegraph, Daniel Hannan  indulges in a bit of ‘bashing the West’ when he accuses the Western economies of having caused economic and political chaos in Ecuador and other Latin American countries as a result of the ‘failed war on drugs’. Hannan’s argument seems to be that in failing to legalise heroin […]

The genocide of Christians the world ignores

WHILE much of the world celebrates Christmas, it is of course a particularly special time for those who have a faith in Jesus Christ. This is no less true for believers in Plateau State, Nigeria, who a few weeks ago were greatly looking forward to commemorating the birth of their Lord and Saviour. Instead, a […]
