Film Review – 300: Rise of an Empire
Brace yourself because THIS IS SPARTA! Again. The first 300 movie ranks among my favourite films of all time, less due to its cartoonish stylised gore offering as its wonderfully unapologetic masculine heroism. When I walked into the cinema this week to watch this follow-up I really didn’t know what to expect as I’d read nothing at all about it before hand. My assumption was that it would be a sequel but the story began…
Internet Freedom in UK Under Threat
Is the golden age of internet freedom of speech coming to an end for nationalists in the UK? A report in Thursday’s Financial Times bodes ill for the future. It began: “Google has given British security forces special access to the YouTube site allowing them to have content instantly reviewed if it threatens national security.” The report goes on to say that the “Youtube permissions that Google has given the Home Office include the power to…
Hypocrisy and crypto-racism of the Metropolitan Elite
The row over the “wealthy metropolitan elite” who use immigrants for cheap labour has had one interesting side-effect – it has exposed the racism of our rulers. The affair blew up when a hapless Tory MP called James Brokenshire tried to curry favour with his bosses by criticising the wealthy for hiring poor foreigners. In short order it was revealed that the Prime Minister and his wife had arranged UK citizenship for their Nepalese nanny.…
Charles Dickens: Fagin and His Detractors
On Friday 7th February, 2014 (his 202nd birthday) a long-overdue and much-anticipated statue of Charles Dickens was unveiled to the left of the town hall in Portsmouth’s Guildhall Square. Portsmouth, as most will be aware, is the birthplace of Charles Dickens and is now the only place in the U.K. where his statue is erected. However, it is disappointing that his statue is positioned at ground level and not placed upon a plinth – as…
Ancestor Worship and High Intelligence
Spending time thinking about your ancestors has been proven to boost intelligence and emotional confidence in a ground-breaking study conducted by a group of Psychologists in Germany and Austria. The paper which was published in the European Journal of Social Psychology showed in four separate studies that test subjects who were asked to engage in thinking positively about their ancestors before taking part in a series of intelligence tests scored significantly higher scores than those…
Introducing Youtuber ‘StateofNation’
The Western Spring team would like to draw your attention to an excellent Youtube channel called ‘StateofNation’. The videos which tackle issues of identity and race as well as cultural-Marxism and liberal hegemony are created by a well spoken, intelligent young man who obviously has both technical skill and screen presence. The edgy videos are aimed primarily at students and make use of deconstructionist style language more often associated with leftist theoreticians. Since he is…
The Failure of the Cultural Death Camps
By Colin Liddell: The internationalist Leftist elites that have ruled Europe since World War II have failed. They have failed not just by our high and exacting standards, but by their own low and sloppy ones. They have created the very world that they most feared, and generated a situation that even they are now coming to realize is unsustainable and impossible. If they don’t realize now, then it won’t take too many more years…
Nationalism is Social Idealism
By National Youth: Nationalism is often conflated with reaction. To be a Nationalist, it is said, that one must be “right-wing” and conform to all the positions therein. This is an insidious lie. Genuine Nationalism—Nationalism that has sought the betterment of the Nation as the highest moral good—is at this present moment, the only political force that can be said to oppose the great injustices of our time. In responding to the claim that Nationalism…
EDL – Some Critical Issues
Following on from Max Musson’s and Frederick Dixon’s recent articles I was also moved to reflect upon the present situation with the EDL and the direction it has thus far followed. What stuck out for me in Max’s article was the assertion that the EDL was “run by two people whose glaring political naivety was probably only exceeded by their deficiency in critical thinking.” It is from this perspective that I reflect. This political naivety…
A Dangerous Trend
By Colin Liddell: Solon ‘the Wise’ earned his sobriquet when he repealed the laws of Draco in early 6th century Athens. Before then, the laws of Athens had decreed death even for minor offences. Solon realized that if every crime meant death, then a criminal might reason that it would make sense to murder and steal rather than to just to steal; especially if murdering the victim improved the value of the theft and its…
