Thirsk, North Yorkshire, November 2025. Shaun Remmer, a 48-year-old teaching assistant and proud Yorkshireman, decides to do something quaintly British: he puts up 150 Union Jack flags around his home town to celebrate "unity" and give the place a bit of patriotic colour. Neighbours stop him in the street to shake his hand. Old boys in the pub buy ...
The cosmos is not fair. Some are born swift, some slow. Some brilliant, some average. Some beautiful, some plain. Some groups cluster toward one end of the bell curve, others toward another. This is not a moral scandal; it is the raw material of life itself. Every oak began as an acorn that outcompeted a thousand others. Every lioness that eats ton...
Public frustration with violent repeat offenders is rising for a simple reason: the public keeps paying the price for decisions made inside courtrooms. A particular liberal judicial philosophy, one that prioritises rehabilitation and mitigation at almost any cost, has become dominant in many Western jurisdictions. In my view, this philosophy is now...
In October 2025, the UK government announced a seismic shift in family court policy: judges in England and Wales will no longer operate under the presumption that contact with both parents is inherently in a child's best interests, particularly in cases involving domestic abuse. This change, hailed by campaigners as "groundbreaking" and a victory a...
On the eve of America's Thanksgiving 2025, as families gathered to give thanks for the blessings of liberty, two brave National Guardsmen, defenders of that very liberty, lay bleeding in the shadow of the White House, victims of a cold-blooded ambush by an Afghan national imported straight from Joe Biden's bungled Operation Allies Welcome. Rahmanul...
Flickering in the sterile glow of operating rooms and the hurried scribble of prescriptions, modern medicine promises salvation. Yet, beneath the white coats and evidence-based mantras lies a grim reality: The systems designed to heal are among the deadliest forces on Earth. Iatrogenic harm, illness or death caused by medical intervention, claims m...
If you spend more than five minutes on TikTok, YouTube, or certain dark corners of Reddit, you've seen them: teenage boys and twenty-something men with the dead-eyed stare of plastic-surgery addicts, filming themselves in bathroom mirrors while reciting pseudo-scientific jargon about "mewing," "bone-smashing," "hunter eyes," and "canthal tilt." The...
Hiding in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, a city once synonymous with romance and joie de vivre, women navigate boulevards with the vigilance of soldiers on patrol. Catcalls echo off Haussmann's facades, pickpockets swarm the Métro, and headlines scream of sexual assaults in broad daylight, up 25% in Paris since 2020, per French Interior Ministry s...
For almost the entire sweep of Christian history, the overwhelming consensus of the Church — East and West, Catholic and Protestant — was simple and stark: Taking interest on loans is a grave sin. Not "high interest." Not "predatory interest." Interest, period. The Latin word was usura, and for fifteen centuries it was ranked alongside murder, adul...
Imagine cracking open a glossy tome on ancient Scotland, expecting tales of tattooed warriors clashing with Romans under Highland mists, only to find a cast of characters that looks like it wandered off the set of a modern NHS diversity ad. Black monks chanting in fog-shrouded abbeys? Brown-skinned Pictish queens plotting with druids who sport pron...
Ah, Italy, the eternal siren call of sun-kissed vineyards, gelato that whispers sweet nothings, and architecture that makes you question why you live in a shoebox apartment in Londonistan. You've got your Eurail pass, your phrasebook ("Dove è il bagno?"), and dreams of twirling spaghetti carbonara under the Tuscan moon. But hold onto your panettone...
There is a rising sense, on at least our side, that the world, and, specifically, the United Kingdom, is in a state of crisis, collapse or incipient civil war. What should be done? We have significant figures who argue for various things that should be done. The things are more important than the people who advocate them. But it is hard to hold ont...
Europe, once the cradle of industrial might and social innovation, now teeters on the edge of fiscal collapse. At the forefront stands Germany, the continent's once economic powerhouse, whose cities are buckling under deficits exceeding €30 billion in 2025 alone. This crisis is not a fleeting storm of inflation or recession; it's the engineered out...
We live in a world where the United Nations can muster the moral outrage to declare habitat destruction a "crime against biodiversity" worthy of global sanctions, it's downright baffling — nay, infuriating — that the systematic dismemberment of human foetuses gets a pass as "reproductive rights." Enter President Donald Trump and his administration,...
Remember the aurora frenzy of May 2024? Those electric greens and purples draping the skies from Arizona to Alabama weren't just Instagram gold, they were the velvet glove over an iron fist of solar wrath. While TikTokers cooed over the "Mother's Day magic," the Gannon superstorm (named for solar physicist Jennifer Gannon, who passed days before it...
Whether you love Pauline Hanson, hate her, or simply enjoy a cheeky cartoon, one thing should be obvious: a democracy that cannot tolerate satire is a democracy in trouble. The decision to ban the screening of A Super Progressive Movie inside Parliament House is not simply an administrative call. It is an unmistakable cultural signal. It tells Aust...
In yet another brazen display of political censorship, a trailer for Senator Pauline Hanson's upcoming animated film, A Super Progressive Movie (based on her wildly popular Please Explain cartoon series), was pulled from a scheduled screening in Parliament House just hours before its debut. The screening, scheduled to take place tonight, was intend...
Nested in the grand theatre of modern authoritarianism, few acts are as slick as the one scripted by Alphabet, Google's shadowy overlord. On the surface, it's the benevolent search giant, serving up answers to life's riddles. Dig deeper, and you find a data-devouring hydra with tentacles wrapped around Big Pharma, squeezing out billions while throt...
Picture this: A bleary-eyed bloke, pockets stuffed with wads of cash, staggers through a neon-lit alley in the dead of night. He's flashing his wallet like it's a badge of honour, slurring invitations to anyone who'll listen. The locals, sharp-eyed opportunists who've seen this show before, eye him up, then close in. By morning, he's broke, bruised...
Where headlines scream "12 years to save the planet" and politicians jet to COP conferences to pledge trillions in reparations for cow farts, it's refreshing when a genuine heavyweight steps into the ring and calls bs. Enter Richard Lindzen, MIT's Professor Emeritus of Meteorology and one of the last unfiltered voices in atmospheric science. In a n...
