DANIEL Johnson in the Telegraph declares: ‘Benjamin Disraeli observed that London was “a nation, not a city”. Today, 150 years later, many people in Britain feel more disconnected from their own capital than they ever have. Meanwhile, Londoners live in fear that theirs is a condemned city spiralling out of control.’ He continues: ‘Residential areas are increasingly […]
THE official end of the Atlantic hurricane season last Thursday, November 30, brought claims that it was the ‘fourth busiest on record’, with lurid accounts of terrible storms. For instance, USA Today‘s headline read ‘Atlantic hurricane season 2023 was filled with monster storms’. None of this is true. There were seven hurricanes in all, three of which […]
I ARRIVED at the bus stop ten minutes before the scheduled arrival time of the X84, the ‘express’ service into Leeds from my home town. It failed to turn up. When one did arrive I had been waiting a full hour and some of the agitated crowd who were also waiting had been nursing frozen […]
Today we start a regular series on the decay of Representative Democracy in the globalist age and the need for more Direct Democracy to redress the balance between the people and the establishment elites. It will comment on current news and opinion from this perspective. *** Ireland’s Heart of Darkness Ireland is in the wars these […]
PUTTING the world back on track to meet the Paris goal of limiting global temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels is the challenge facing the faithful meeting for COP28 in Dubai this week. Or, as the sceptic might put it, the burning question of how to keep their Net Zero gravy train on the road. […]
I TEND not to indulge in schadenfreude but I couldn’t resist a smile at the sight of private jets frozen on the runway of Munich airport – and thus unable to make their way to the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. One can only imagine the embarrassed explanation of the tardy or absent invitees: ‘I’m sorry that I won’t be able to […]
I HAD a revealing conversation with a Year 10 class last week. They asked me what I thought about the repatriation of the Elgin Marbles. ‘Should they be sent back to Greece?’ one asked. Initially surprised by an unexpected foray into current affairs, I demurred from committing to a position, concerned that the wrong answer […]
I LIVE in France and every few years I go to the UK to visit my family. I travel by car via a Channel ferry. Recent electric vehicle (battery and hybrid – BEVs) fires have made me realise that if there was a BEV fire on a ferry the result could be devastating. I wrote to the CEO […]
AS INFLATION soars and the temperature plummets, it is unpalatable to think of the unelected scoundrels and hypocrites in Dubai conspiring to make you poorer and colder. An email sent to TCW Defending Freedom from an outfit called University College London Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose gives an insight into the nature of the unelected parasites who […]
ACCORDING to the chorus of Running in the Family by the popular 1980s band Level 42, ‘we all have our daddy’s eyes’. But when applied to corporate oligarchs, royal families and political dynasties, this is not such a nice idea. Like father, like son has a darker meaning when considering that our nepotistic ruling class does not […]
