THE Telegraph reports that the Church of England Archdeacon of Liverpool, Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, tweeted that she ‘went to a conference on whiteness last autumn. It was very good, very interesting and made me realise: whiteness is to race as patriarchy is to gender. So yes, let’s have anti whiteness, & let’s smash the patriarchy. That’s not […]
THIS is something I never expected to feel: ashamed of my country. There are individual incidents that have taken place under the banner of the UK that one could be ashamed of, or particular groups that are shameful for our country. But this is neither of those. It is shame that I am a citizen of the […]
IN a previous column I wrote about Homage to PG Wodehouse, a 1973 tribute compiled by Thelma Cazalet-Keir, sister-in-law of Wodehouse’s beloved stepdaughter Leonora. Here are some more selections from this charming book. Claud Cockburn (1904-1981) was a leftie journalist who worked for the Times and contributed to the British communist newspaper the Daily Worker. But we won’t hold that against […]

To put that in perspective, the White population of Boston is about 300,000, more or less, who are being asked to shell […]

I shall not know where the bonds were riven,And a hundred faiths set free,Where a wandering cavalier had givenHer hundredth name to […]

A 21-year-old Honduran is the first and only person so far to be charged with assault on a Texas National Guardsman during the stampede in El Paso last week.
