Reclaiming the institutions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over a decade ago, on November 10, 2015, the very clever Twitter personality “IowaHawkBlog” captured the long march through the institutions in a wonderful tweet. It went like this: “1. Identify a respected institution. 2. Kill it. 3. Gut it. 4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.” This long march through the institutions has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of those who first conceived it. Rudi Dutschke’s phrase, building on Gramsci’s prison notebooks, was never mere th

I am an entrepreneur, which means I am, by temperament, an optimist. I am also a Catholic, which means I do not confuse optimism with sentiment. Hope is harder than that. It looks at the facts, names them and then asks what a free people ought to do next. Here is a fact that should embarrass a country that still lectures the world about equality before the law. A British subject may serve as Prime Minister, command troops, sit on the bench and swear allegiance to the King. He or she may even, if
Europe needs a humane alternative at its borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The scenes from Ceuta last week should shame every European capital. Tens of thousands of young men from Morocco, sub-Saharan Africa and possibly further afield surged across the border into Spain’s North African enclave by land and sea.

Beaches filled with exhausted people. Then, within days, the great majority return

Read excerpt
Last month more than 13,000 people gathered at Knock for the All-Ireland Rosary Rally. It was the largest such assembly since Pope Francis visited the west of Ireland shrine on a “soft” day in 2018. The rosary rally saw young families, teenagers carrying rosaries, older men and women who have kept the Faith through thinner years: they filled the shrine grounds and the basilica. Archbishop Eamon Martin spoke of joy and hope. He was right to do so. Just a few days ago, on July 20, American priest
‘Clarkson’s Farm’ and a line that should not have been crossed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeremy Clarkson has been a favourite of mine since the 1980s, when he was already writing with that sharp, unpretentious style in the motoring press. Over the years his programmes and columns have entertained me and, indeed, my now octogenarian father, who on some Sundays asks whether I have read Clarkson’s column in that day’s newspaper. Nothing he has done, however, has been more valuable than Clarkson’s Farm. As someone who farms on a smaller scale in County Galway, I can say without hesitati
