The chart below is derived from the statistics published annually by the Office for National Statistics shows births by ethnicity in England and Wales in the two years of 2014 and 2019. None of these figures are a sudden blip; they represent a consistent increase, or decrease, or a “steady state” in the intervening years. You will see that the only categories to register a significant increase are “White Others” and “All Others”. White Others…
It is just eleven months since the very first COVID-19 cases were confirmed here in the UK; just ten months since the first COVID-19 death; and just under nine months since Boris Johnson announced the first lock-down designed to contain the spread of the Corona virus and protect the NHS from being overwhelmed. It is also just a month since the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency here in the UK approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for…
I doubt if anyone born since 1945 can remember a stranger year than the one now drawing to a close. For my parents’ generation, that which was young during the Second World War, everything was “before the war”, “during the war” or “since the war”. I wonder if, for those who are young now, the lockdown will become a similar time marker? Not only is a strange year drawing to its close, but so too…

The American author, Bill Bryson, (“Notes From a Small Island” and much more) once wrote that England has the loveliest countryside of anywhere in the world, and given how densely populated the country is, and that it was the first country to industrialise, that is something of a miracle. As an Englishman I naturally agree with him. Appropriately, Bryson later became President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, of which organisation see more below.…
As I write, the outcome of the Presidential election in the United States is not quite settled. We will see if anything comes of President Trump’s court challenges, but it seems very unlikely that he will be able to “flip” the result in enough states to make a difference. I was reminded the other day of the Nixon/Kennedy election in 1960. Nixon was almost certainly deprived of victory in Illinois by fraud, and his advisers…
There are quite a few facts and figures in this article, and figures in particular are not everyone’s thing. But they’re important because they paint a picture of how our country is changing to the disadvantage of our people, so bear with me. You may have seen reports recently to the effect that ethnic minority workers under 30 now earn on average 5.5% more than White British workers in the same age group. Among workers…
I think this is my fifth piece about the Markles – the idiot prince and his appalling wife. So apologies if I seem to be getting a bit obsessive about them. Maybe I am, but it’s worth it because they…
The digital landscape has changed considerably over the past decade, and so has the way people discover, compare and choose online services. Where once a recommendation from a friend carried most of the weight, today's readers expect something more structured: independent research, transparent criteria, and sources that have no vested interest in pushing a particular outcome. This platform operates on exactly that principle. The content published here is built around the idea that informed readers make better decisions than pressured ones — whether the subject is a product, a service, or a platform. Every recommendation is the result of genuine assessment rather than commercial arrangement, and every partner relationship is disclosed openly. The goal is not to tell you what to choose, but to give you what you need to choose well.
Among the partners and sponsors whose values align with this approach are several independent guides operating in the online gaming space. These resources aim to provide UK players with clear, regularly updated overviews of licensed offshore casinos that operate outside the GamStop voluntary self-exclusion scheme — useful for adults who have made a considered decision to manage their own gaming activity independently. For readers who want a broader comparative view, the guide to Best Non GamStop Casinos UK goes further, evaluating platforms across a range of criteria including licensing, payment options, game selection and customer support, giving players the context to make genuinely informed comparisons. Alongside these curated reviews, additional directories maintained by trusted contributors round out the broader picture with straightforward, no-frills listings of currently active platforms — kept accurate and refreshed as the market evolves. Together, these guides share the same underlying commitment that drives the content on this site: transparency first, conclusions second.
Recently the humanitarian aid group, International Rescue Committee, released a promotional video promoting the cause of migration into Britain with the bold claim that we’ve “got refugees to thank for” our nations favourite take-away dish of fish and chips, and…
There has been no shortage of speculation in the media about the post-Covid world. Will the recovery be U – shaped, V – shaped, or even L – shaped? Will unemployment double or treble when the furlough scheme finishes at…
I suppose most of us, when teenagers, enjoyed horror films and ghost stories for the pleasurable shudder of fear while being perfectly safe at home or in the cinema and I was no different. So it was that one day…
Someone, I forget who, once said “politics is downstream from culture”. There’s a lot of truth in it, as we can see from the “long march through the institutions” which has carried the leftist protestors of the sixties to domination…
So the Chinese government has done it, as we knew they would, and the British government has responded by offering 2.9 million Hong Kong residents (plus dependants) the right to live in Britain, as we knew they would. The offer…
For several days following Saturday, June 13th, the mass media was full of stories about the two rival demonstrations that took place in London that day and the media coverage was intense and as we have come to expect, massively…
First a warning to our readers: This article will not be a comfortable read for people on the nationalist Right, so if you don’t want to read some home truths, stop now. I had a slight argument with my wife…
