WILL last week turn out to be the one that marked the beginning of the end of trans madness? That question has been on my mind since the ‘landmark’ Cass Review was published on Wednesday. I am not holding my breath. That ‘thousands of children have been let down by the NHS’ was surely an understatement of the […]

MY EASTER Week began with Mel Gibson’s masterpiece The Passion of the Christ (made 20 years ago) which I started watching on Mark Steyn’s recommendation. You can read Mark’s review of it here. Gibson’s portrayal of Jesus, the Redeemer who died violently for our sins, is not for the faint-hearted and perhaps not to everyone’s taste. I found the […]

THIS is actually my TCW fortnight in review, starting with apologies. Not, I hasten to assure you, the virtue-signalling kind, but the old-fashioned sort. The first for not getting this review out last weekend. Sickness was the cause. I was laid low with a chest infection and a fever.

Which vaccine dissident doctor, we wondered, would this contemporary rewrite feature as the hero? Would […]

ANOTHER grim week for the country, culminating in the ghastly Galloway’s win in Rochdale, as if Gaza had not already been brought to the House of Commons.  The newsletter version of this post went to press before Rishi Sunak warned the nation that democracy was under threat (as if we didn’t know – it has been […]

WHEN you think the world of politics couldn’t get grimmer, it just does. Even without a BBC licence I couldn’t miss Wednesday’s spectacle of the descent of the ‘Mother of Parliaments’ into complete disarray, the fall-out of which continued into Thursday. TV screens seemed to be blaring it wherever I went. What a metaphor for the corruption […]

THIS has been something of a ‘home truths’ week. Allister Heath in the Telegraph (playing catch-up again – but better late than never) exclaimed over the rapidity of Britain’s decline over the last 25 years. It’s the first time in his life, he wrote, that he’s begun to feel Britain is finished: ‘Almost everything is getting worse, and almost […]
