'I worry every day that England's dead – we must ban burka and balaclava' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s no fun claiming your country is finished. Not just because you don’t want to be right, but because a large proportion of the people you tell will regard you with the same aversion that I’d feel to a fella standing on the side of the road with a placard proclaiming: “The end is nigh.” There’s a curious feeling such doomsayers provoke, almost as though the listener doesn't want to get too near them lest they be infected. Perhaps this explains the humour liberal-left types find in the journali
'Robert Jenrick can't figure out why it's wrong to attack a female heckler' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chief among phenomena sure to irritate me to distraction is the British adoption of American habits. I mutter to myself in English pubs when I hear a punter ask whether they can “get a pint of Guinness”, convinced that “get” is a linguistic grey squirrel savaging “have” in a rapacious fashion that will soon see it extinct. I don’t actually know if this is an American thing, as some colonial comrades prefer the even more ridiculous phrase “I’ll do a Guinness”, which makes me fear for the pint and
'Fury at West Ham's Manor Solomon exposes unhinged reality of anti-Israel Left' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many Britons have recently been granted the gift of forgetting just how unhinged and irrational swathes of the erroneously branded pro-Palestinian Left can be. Since the Gaza ceasefire, frothing fury at Israel’s existence hasn’t felt as prevalent. Not that it’s always presented as opposition to the existence of Israel; it’s pitched as opposition to genocide, this charge having a pesky habit of evading the empirical parameters of truth. The reprieve from the obsessions of frantic flag-wavers obse
'Farage is setting himself up to be outdone by Kemi Badenoch on free speech' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nigel Farage is the best British political communicator of my lifetime. Not just because of his impeccable presentation skills, but because of his well-honed habit of weighing in on the big issues of the day on precisely the right side of the argument while his rivals flounder and placate. Sure, there have been some horrendous departures from reason, such as his cack-handed, Andrew Tate-inspired intervention on the Southport murders. But largely, he gets it. Small boats crisis? He gets it. Net Z
'Andy Burnham's barmy army have proved just how silly they're prepared to look' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How short are people’s memories? Specifically, the memories of Labour supporters. Answer: short enough to debase themselves publicly over and over again. The frothing excitement over the premiership of Andy Burnham is proof of one thing – that a shiny new product can especially dupe those who claim to be politically astute. Can they not see what is happening here? Do they not understand that every public proclamation of enthusiasm sets them up to look exceedingly silly when it all goes wrong? Th
