There has not been a time in human history that we know of that has afforded such unprecedented movement from nation to nation for people. The 20th century began flightless, with a ferry from London to New York taking an average of about a week. And in just 76 years, with the conception of the now defunct Concord flight, this was cut to just three hours, ushering in a new era of fast, globalised travel. During the same century, two world wars took place that fundamentally upe

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,

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

Few monthsweeks days go by in the "United" Kingdom that are devoid of some sort of heinous violent attack. So here's the latest diversity stabbing: Man arrested after dog walker dies and two injured in west London stabbings Oh, and whadayaknow... ...The Met confirmed that the man arrested was an Afghan national. Government sources said he arrived in the UK on a lorry in 2020. In 2022 he was granted asylum and leave to remain. Before he was stabbed to death, Wayne Broadhurst

Not to bang on about the same point for however many times I've talked about it on here, but you'd think that when someone, especially a major political figure in America, is shot and killed brutally in front of his wife and children, there would be attempts from all sides of the political spectrum to dampen-down the rhetoric. But take a wild guess as to whether they have, or haven't... This is now anyone's game. "Honey! He's callin' me a fascist again! Whatcha 'think's a goo

Under a deluge of, frankly, irrelevant news, was the buried, yet ever pernicious, coming of the third-world to the shores of the "United" Kingdom: "More than 1,000 people cross Channel in one day" Luckily for Keir Starmer, the focus of much of the media for the latter half of last week was on the King and his entertaining of Trump 47, temporarily tearing attention away from the whole "Mandelson scandal". And you would've noticed that unlike for Trump 45, Trump 47's visit to W

Some time ago I wrote about the stunning and regrettable debacle that the world had spun itself into following the outbreak of COVID-19. The cost, the farce, the lies, the infringement on civil liberty; all for the "good" of octogenarians in Brighton and wherever else to live out their final few weeks in a dimly-lit, virus-free, hostel propped up by me and thee. Well, actually I was only 12 when it kicked off, but you get the point - it cost me and millions of other kids two

It has been less than a couple of weeks since the release of Lucy Connolly from her prison cell following a 31 month sentence for an incendiary tweet made in the wake of the Southport riots and already we have Starmer's next "Free-speech prisoner" - a term I am coining as of today. But wait a minute, didn't the pm assure us all that our speech is protected? Here he is next to the American president 5 weeks ago trotting out the usual lies. The "increasingly insidious and marri

People are waking up. It’s happening/been happening slowly over the past two decades or so. Typically, authors, columnists, content creators, “influencers” - if you will - prey on the latest bout of execrably dispiriting news that they can use as ammunition to fuel their latest post online. This piece cuts a slightly different jib. We’ve seen governments come and go in His Majesty’s dominion, as we’ve seen issues that actually matter become sidelined for other nonsense. And p

It’s often useful to take a minute to stop and think: how on earth did we get here? “Here” meaning a complete wasteland of a culture that celebrates diversity on the altar of free speech. “Here” meaning a loss of principles and standards that made western civilization the beacon of light in the world. “Here” meaning a totally overfunded government that has fundamentally become utterly lost in its goals, mission and its principles. “Here” meaning, worst of all, the west on the

To those of you residing in the United States - Happy Independence Day! Hopefully you’re partaking in some sort of parade, banquet or event to commemorate the two-hundred and forty-ninth birthday of your great country. It’s pretty remarkable to think that the American ideal of liberty still reigns supreme in the land of the free. Oh wait… Zohran Mamdani, the soon-to-be Mayor of New York, seeing as the Democratic nominee almost always wins in that district, wants race-specifi

You wouldn’t typically associate chants of “Death, Death to the IDF!” and “Free Palestine!” with the Glasonbury festival, would you? Given that its 2025 though, the modish, privileged youth of today believe it to be cromulent to chant for the murder of Jews, assisted of course by their friends at the BBC. Republican Irish group Kneecap, also known for their repugnant anti-semitic views, are to perform at the UK's largest music festival, despite event makers being admonished b

Trying to keep up with this news cycle is as tough of a task as trying to enforce the UK’s border - at least it is for the current edition of HM Government. Recent figures show that over 15,000 people have sailed the channel year to date and ascended Britain's shores. Some days it can be as high as five to eight-hundred migrants making the two-hour journey from France. ~Anyhow, as the border in southern England continues to be lawlessly penetrated, the news broke on Sunday m

This past week, the 58th prime minister of the United Kingdom decided that a national inquiry into the pakistani rape gangs that have ravaged their way through England’s towns and cities might actually be a responsible policy to enact. A few days prior to this, news broke of seven men being found guilty of sexually molesting two teenage girls in Rochdale over a five year period. Another example includes the gaoling of six men in late April of this year, from Greater Mancheste

In the latest round of city defacements, last week's being the French capital following a footie result - this week's being the most populous city in the most populous state in America, it seems that the trend of citizens taking to the streets for one reason or another is becoming more and more popular. Following Immigration and Customs Enforcement doing their job of arresting illegal immigrants, mass rioting ensued. And dare I say that the Californians may have outmatched th

Following Paris Saint-Germain’s smashing of Inter Milan in their 5-0 Champions League Final victory on Sunday, fans of the Parisian team quickly took to the streets in typical French fashion: The beleaguerment of the French capital was an abhorrent display that symbolised a number of things. Firstly and most principally, it demonstrated that football, possibly more than any other sport, has the ability to conjure up emotions that are matched by few sports, a typical trope of

There’s an old aphorism in physics that says that something that can’t go on forever - won’t. Well today, it seems that the Republican party voted to test that proposition by voting through a bill in Congress that is to add roughly, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), $2.3 Trillion bucks to the US national debt over the next ten years. As the Babylon Bee puts it: But who cares? $2.3 Trillion dollars worth of debt is a drop in the ocean in relative terms. Tha

Say what you will about Nigel Farage except that he’s politically irrelevant because he has just given Labour and the Tories the metaphorically equivalent sucker punch of Mike Amesbury’s physical blow on a fellow constituent last October. Forget Vegas or, should I say, Riyadh (sounds wrong), Runcorn seems to be the new fighting capital of the world. How does the saying go again? One sucker punch led to another… Anyhow, Reform UK pulled off a remarkable political fightback on

Most Western liberal democracies are facing an inflection point right now - if you haven’t noticed. They face the question that has been chugging along unrelentingly in recent decades but only now has it arrived at its stop and awaits for its passengers to board. Generally, it goes like this: Do you believe that your vote really matters? And - to go one step further: Can you vote your way out of the crises that your country faces? By crises I mean: unfettered and unaccounted

For the members of NATO, they would say its existence has been a net-positive post-war response to the threat of totalitarian-dictatorship and, in the event of war, a necessary pact to come together and ‘win’. But what is winning? If the second world war was the victory for freedom, prosperity and democracy, then why aren’t these values still being upheld less than a century onwards from it? Our freedoms that once seemed guaranteed are being infringed upon everywhere we look.
