Following his resignation as Theresa May’s Brexit Secretary in November 2018, current Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab defended his actions citing May’s intention to accept a ‘backstop’ arrangement, which would see the UK stay in a customs union with the EU, and would form the basis of our future trading relationship with the EU, rather than the free trade deal that he had been arguing for. What Raab also revealed at that time was that EU…

Several days have now passed since the US led missile strikes on three sites within Syria, as retribution for the Syrian Army’s earlier alleged use of chemical weapons against rebels in Douma (Duma), in Eastern Ghouta, one of many outlying districts of Damascus. The United States and her allies claim that these attacks have seriously degraded Syria’s ability to produce chemical weapons. They claim for example that a facility at Barzeh on the outskirts of…

A frequently heard falsehood often repeated during television interviews with pro-globalist, pro-mass migration politicians and media pundits, is that immigration is good for us as long as the immigrants concerned have come here to better themselves, to work hard and provide a better future for their families. So often has this falsehood been repeated that we often see ordinary, otherwise quite sensible people repeat it especially following accusations that immigrants target Britain in order to exploit our benefits system.…

Following the showing of the first part, just over a week ago, of the new BBC drama serial ‘Gunpowder’, BBC executives have been criticised for what many have regarded as the unnecessarily gruesome and gory presentation of the Guy Fawkes November 5th plot to blow up parliament. While the programme allegedly features the most violent and viscerally gory scenes of torture and execution ever screened on primetime television, and disturbing though these scenes have been,…

Travelling on the London underground is usually an interesting way to observe “diversity”, but earlier this month I was too absorbed in a piece in the Evening Standard to pay much attention to my fellow passengers. The feature which had caught my attention was headed “Ben Fogle and the fine art of being English”. It turns out that Ben has written a new book: ” ‘we hit a funny obstacle today’ he said ‘the book…

It’s happened again of course, as we learnt with shock but no surprise. The outrage was greeted again by the usual scenes of vigils, candles, flowers and so on and so forth; entirely understandable if such demonstrations help to assuage the sense of shock and grief, but in fact pitiable and useless. Useless because the only emotion which will serve us now is implacable anger fuelling a determination to rid our country of this curse which has been…

As groups emerge in various parts of Britain under the banner of ‘Black Lives Matter’ and bring disruption to our roads and cities, one would be forgiven for asking, why their demonstrations are taking place here in this country in response to events on another continent? After all, don’t we have enough problems here in the UK, such as Muslim grooming of children, homelessness, and a dire lack of housing, to name a few? It makes the question…

  By Frederick Dixon: Well, we’ve all seen the photo of that poor little lad washed up on the beach in Turkey, but would we have guessed that it would blow open the gates of Europe? Even if we didn’t, it wouldn’t have taken long for the truth to sink in as the BBC’s crocodile tears department went to work. So cynically has this tragedy been exploited to further the open borders agenda of the Left, that those who…

By Max Musson: Recently in the comments section relating to the previous article one of our readers made the following statement: “Mass immigration must be the most disruptive thing to have happened to Britain since de-industrialization in the 1980s, yet neither establishment politicians or media can offer an explanation for why it happened. Occasionally clues are provided like the Channel 4 news item about Syrian ‘asylum seekers’ in Scotland. We were told that Scotland needs…

By Max Musson: Yesterday, Natacha Bouchart, the Mayor of Calais, cleared up a mystery that has apparently baffled Parliament for decades. It seems that for many years parliamentarians have wondered why it is that countless thousands of economic migrants have resorted to the most bizarrely dangerous means of getting into Britain. They have squeezed themselves into the engine compartments of motor vehicles; they have squeezed into the wheel arches and hung from the axles and…
