Letter of the week
Dear Editor
Happy New Year Kathy and to everyone at TCW.It must feel like you’re constantly swimming against the tide, but this review showed that the tide is turning a little. Reform UK has been a huge disappointment over their treatment of Tommy Robinson, but they have Rupert Lowe, the best MP in parliament. He is saying things publicly that many people think privately and his fearless approach is empowering others to do the same.Across Europe we have common sense right wing leaders emerging, with some close to power.
We also have Elon Musk who opened up Twitter/X to free speech; both he and Donald Trump are doing a better job of holding our government to account than the pathetic official opposition. All this is before Trump’s inauguration, which I hope will be a turning point back to common sense.However, common sense alone is not enough. We need a culture shift away from meaningless secularism back to Christianity. Everything good in our society has been built on Christian values and that kind of culture shift will take more than one US electoral cycle, but the tide is turning.I started reading TCW several years ago and its articles are still the first ones I read every morning. You have principles and I am proud to support you. So, keep up the great work and here’s to a great 2025.

Why do you continue to call them ‘grooming gangs’? Grooming to me means styling hair. Rape is rape.

The problem with local inquiries into the Pakistani child torture and gang rape gangs is that too many local officials were central to covering up this appalling business.Town Hall officials, local councillors, senior local police and senior social services and NHS staff and bosses all covered up. So expecting to get answers locally seems to me to be akin to placing the local fox in charge of investigations into what caused the bloodbath in the hen house the previous night.
For this reason alone, we need a public national inquiry. Too many local senior officials cannot be trusted and too many of their subordinates are still too scared to speak up, lest they lose their jobs.

Dear Editor,
Paul Homewood’s article regarding the Private Members’ Bill reveals the dangers of dogma overwhelming reality within Parliament. Some 192 MPs are determined to demonstrate their limited intellect by supporting a Bill which should more correctly be called the Wholly Unnecessary Impoverishment Bill.
When the temperature for this Friday is forecasted to touch minus 20 degrees centigrade in northern parts and with the rest of the Country enduring sub-zero conditions, the brainchild of this Bill, Caroline Lucas, should be required to explain where this winter weather has come from. Her co-conspirators in the Climate Scam have told us that all the Arctic ice is vanishing and the World is boiling.
In the absence of any satisfactory explanation from Ms Lucas, the Bill should be rushed through Parliament, but with the addition of one more clause. The provisions of the newly enabled Act should only apply to Ms Lucas’s old constituency. They are surely entitled to a suitable reward for inflicting her and her stupidity on the rest of us.

Dear Editor
Thank you for all that you do! I am an 84 year old American Anglophile and a former London resident (I had an office in London for twenty years and even after I returned to the US, I made quarterly visits to London).
I don’t recall how I discovered TCW but I’m a devoted follower now because your objectives are not restricted to the UK but are universal to freedom.
Again, thank you. Please keep up the great work.

Not everything in a war goes bang, and the expensive net zero policies now
being pursued by our hoodwinked and sappy government, in pursuit of the myth
of climate change – as invented and promoted by Russia and China – will make
us poorer and weaker. And let’s be clear, we are at war with Russia – financially at first – and now militarily as allies of Ukraine.
We will become militarily reduced as we continue to supply Ukraine with expensive hardware, some of which takes years to replace, and if Rachel in Accounts can’t afford cold weather payments; it may never be replaced. Making us so weak that, demoralised and demilitarised, a Russian war on the West can be prosecuted from the West itself.
A perfect scissor movement.

It is strange that politicians, those with ‘climate’ in their job description and the numerous climate warriors, never mention the biggest sources of greenhouse gases. They tell us that we must buy EVs and heat pumps and to eat less meat and not fly or take foreign holidays but they never mention the green elephant in the room: Wars, Mother Nature with her earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and a rapidly increasing world population all creating more greenhouse gases than the World can ever save. The 8.2 billion humans in the world emit 400 million tons of methane every year which is two-thirds of all the methane entering our atmosphere and is significantly more potent than CO2. Other countries have Net Zero intention of reducing their emissions. In years to come, and long before Net Zero 2050, economic students in the UK and around the world will be told that adopting Net Zero diktats was the main reason for the UK becoming an economic wilderness with companies relocating abroad, mass unemployment, poverty and rioting in the streets.

Regarding the Pakistani rape gangs people need to be aware that acting so as to impede an offender coming to justice is not just a failing on the part of public officials, but it is a specific crime. The Criminal Law Act 1967 states in section 4:’Where a person has committed a relevant offence, any other person who, knowing or believing him to be guilty of the offence or of some other relevant offence, does without lawful authority or reasonable excuse any act with intent to impede his apprehension or prosecution shall be guilty of an offence.’
I think this needs to be emphasised in the public consciousness. Starmer et al have likely committed specific offences for which they have not faced a jury.

The journalist Tim Stanley was someone I had previously thought was quite sensible and realistic. But I felt moved to write this comment under his article this week about Farage, Musk and their spat on social media channel X. ‘Tim Stanley has clearly shown himself to be entirely detached from, and entirely ignorant of reality in working class communities across the length and breadth of the UK. His mischaracterisation of us, and Robinson, is straight out of Herr Starmer’s playbook. What a disgraceful putdown and smear. He obviously thinks someone who puts himself in literally mortal danger by calling out the grooming gangs, their enablers, and also the lies perpetrated by those covering up the failings of multiculturalism and mass immigration, is beneath contempt.
Does Stanley think Solzhenitsyn and Bunyan were jailbird miscreants too? Solitary confinement for being brave enough to put out a documentary that embarrasses the Establishment and exposes the corrupt enablers of cover-ups – how is that not politically inspired and authorised punishment?’

The positions of the U.S. health establishment on mRNA ‘vaccines’ and ‘gender-affirming care’ for children are why I refer to the AMA as the American Mengele Association.
