READERS may not be familiar with Professor Paul Krugman. Most will probably be unaware of his exemplary, world-class, innovative thinking and writing as an economist who discovered my former scholarly field, economic geography. His books such as Geography and Trade in the 1990s changed debates, and for the better. He was smart and a heavy hitter. A Nobel Prize winner, no […]
Hunter Biden is scheduled to testify behind closed doors tomorrow. He will sit for a deposition though for months he insisted he would only testify in public. On Monday, Axios published an interview with Hunter. Coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences in politics. Hunter rarely speaks to the press. When he does, it usually doesn’t […]
HAVE you ever met someone who wanted another layer of government or extra politicians funded through taxation? This is the easiest question you have ever been asked, for we all know the answer. So, how did we end up with Metro Mayors in our big cities? I am standing for Mayor of Greater Manchester, but not […]
The “insurrection” narrative has always been absurd, but this new publication from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health might be the most insane take I have read recently. Gun control is necessary, you see, to prevent armed insurrections. Now, I don’t know about you, but I am as frightened by the idea of […]
WHETHER it’s Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak or Emmanuel Macron, everyone is fed up with the ruling elites. Tolstoy was wrong. It is the unhappy families, the electorates, who are alike. Our political class are in a funk as they watch their credibility dissolve in popular discontent that grows year by year. How long will it […]
IN THIS series we have concentrated so far on the dolorous outcomes that our atrophied and dysfunctional system of ‘Unrepresentative Shamocracy’ have meant for the United Kingdom and its people. To a degree, we have sought to explain the cause of the decline in British democracy as the consequence of long-term societal or cultural shifts, […]
MANY who watched a bit of Nicola Sturgeon and Alister Jack, Secretary of State for Scotland, in the Covid Show last week will have been struck, as I was, by how accurate Ian Mitchell’s analysis of nationalistic Scottish politics was in the two books he has written on the subject.* His essential theme is that you […]
ALL over the West we hear talk of the ‘threat to democracy’ of that progressive bogeyman, the ‘far right’. What this really means is that there is a threat to rule of the managerial elite whose progressive values control our decision-making bodies. The EU has always been a haven for the bureaucratic and managerially inclined. […]
THE British state is failing. The scandal of wrongly convicted postmasters has yet again shown us that we are ruled by a callous, unresponsive state that ignores or, worse still, demonises those lives or views that are deemed unfashionable. Outrage follows outrage at such frequency that we are in danger of becoming desensitised to it […]
Share the plan to expose the Architects. “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right… and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and […]
