Lex Mercatoria, once known as the "law merchant," began in medieval Europe as a practical, custom-based system to support trade across borders. Back then, with fragmented political systems and unreliable national courts, it gave merchants a flexible way to settle disputes. Rooted in the shared traditions and Christian values of the time, it was a c...
In an era defined by rapid globalisation and the erosion of traditional state authority, the landscape of legal regulation is undergoing a profound transformation. The welfare state, once a cornerstone of 20th-century governance, is fading, giving way to a globalised "knowledge society" where law's role is increasingly precarious. A recent academic...
In a bold leap toward "modernising democracy," UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced plans to lower the voting age to 16 for the next General Election, a move straight out of Labour's manifesto playbook. The argument? If 16-year-olds can work and pay taxes, they should have a say in how their money is spent. Noble in theory, but the policy s...
France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) recently ruled that all Palestinians in Gaza are eligible to apply for asylum in France, citing Israeli military actions as "persecution" under the 1951 Geneva Convention. This decision, while framed as a humanitarian gesture, raises serious concerns about its long-term implications for France's cultural ide...
The relentless assault on masculinity, fuelled by radical feminist ideologies, has reached a boiling point, pushing men into silence, isolation, and, in tragic numbers, suicide. From the shocking case of five 10- and 11-year-old girls in Arizona plotting to murder a boy over a petty grievance, to Amber Heard's attempt to destroy Johnny Depp's...
The story of Marlies Kurtz, a kiosk owner in Hamburg's Phoenix district, is a microcosm of a broader trend sweeping across Western nations.

Kurtz'...
Deep beneath the Earth's surface, massive structures known as Large Low-Velocity Provinces (LLVPs), or "blobs," lurk as hidden architects of some of the planet's most catastrophic events. Recent research from Australian scientists at the University of Wollongong has shed light on these continent-sized anomalies, located roughly 1,200 miles below th...
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, to the greatest show on Earth!

In the waning days of the Biden administration, a shocking revelation emerged, shaking the foundations of public trust in the US government, what was left of it. Reports indicate that President Joe Biden admitted to not personally approving some of his sweeping presidential pardons, which were instead signed using an autopen, a mechanical device th...
The notion that Western civilisation proclaims its superiority while simultaneously confessing its inferiority, is a striking paradox that defines much of modern geopolitics. On one hand, Western powers project an image of moral and ideological dominance, intervening in global affairs to reshape other societies in their image. On the other, Western...
Once celebrated as the "Lucky Country," a term coined by Donald Horne in 1964 to describe Australia's prosperity despite its leaders' mediocrity, Australia is losing its sheen.

Unless of course, it is their family who gets killed! The claim that Emmanuel Macron told bereaved parents to "...
The exclusion of 12-year-old Courtney Wright from Bilton School for wearing a Union Flag dress on Cultural Diversity Day is not an isolated incident but a glaring symptom of a deeper malaise, a deliberate, ideologically driven assault on British identity. This is not about a single school's misstep or a teacher's overzealous interpretation of "dive...
In the hallowed halls of the mainstream media, a storm is never just a storm. A heatwave? Climate change. A flood? Climate change. A chilly day in July? You guessed it — climate change. As D. Parker notes in his American Thinker piece from July 16, 2025, the media's obsession with framing every weather event as a harbinger of doom is less about sci...
In a bold leap toward a linguistic utopia, imagine a Britain where the lessons of 2025 have been taken to their logical extreme: a nation where no migrant bothers with English at all! Why should they? The latest data reveals that over 2,000 schools already boast a majority of pupils for whom English is not the first language. At Kobi Nazrul in Towe...
