The Tyranny of Modern Britain
Last week, Andrew Burnham, along with key cabinet members, flew to New York for the general assembly of the United Nations. The “United” Kingdom’s participation at the “United” Nations must spark questions for those condemned to live in modern Britain. Tell me if I’ve missed any polls that show the general public’s desire for “international collaboration” to take precedence over issues such as, say, the economy and Britain's border. Please, feel free to get in touch. Alas,
Reflections on American Prometheus
Just as Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gave it to men, J. Robert Oppenheimer “raided Mount Olympus and…brought back for man the very thunderbolts of Zeus.” For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity. One can see why Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin’s revelatory biography of one of the 20th century’s most important figures took more than two decades to complete. The book was released in 2005, and the following year received a Pulitzer Prize. This only cam

In many ways, the September 11 attacks have come to

During the same century, two world wars took place that fundamentally upe
Ruled by Expedience
Doing the rounds online this week was a video of a World War Two veteran on national television, decrying the treacherous state of the country that he fought for: It's easily one of the most emotional and profound indictments on the state of the country. However, the words of Kate Garraway, the lady sat on the left of the betrayed veteran, are, unfortunately, platitudes. "It's our job now to make it the country that you fought for" were here words. Which is all well and good,
Here’s Why We Should Scrap the Licence Fee
If you still watch the BBC (which is becoming increasingly a smaller and smaller group of twerps) and believe that the channel that aired the first episode of Doctor Who in 1963 still somehow maintains its “neutrality” in 2025, you’re in about as salubrious mental health conditions as Joe Biden was on that presidential debate stage last year. Because according to a dossier report issued by Michael Prescott exclusively to The Telegraph, the programme made Donald Trump (45, yet
