Some Thoughts on the Corbyn Phenomenon
By Max Musson: Most people from all political persuasions are both surprised and bemused by the election of Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party, not knowing quite what to think. There are those members of the public who are of a more radical left-wing persuasion who will no doubt be rather pleased by Corbyn’s success and the prospect of being able to vote for a decidedly left-wing prime ministerial candidate at the next…
Country Before Party
By Frederick Dixon: I doubt if many of those who visit the Western Spring web site intend to vote Conservative at the imminent general election, although I’ve equally little doubt that many have done so at various times in the past; I certainly have, particularly when my M.P. was the late racial nationalist, Sir Ronald Bell. Regrettably, the likes of Sir Ronald have never had much sway in the counsels of the Conservative party and never…
Homosexual Militancy, Sexual Licence & the Undermining of Traditional Values
By Michael Woodbridge: The deplorable decision by the National Union of Teachers under their General Secretary, Christine Blower, to demand that any incoming government should compel teachers to extol the virtues of homosexuality highlights the almost total victory of neo-Marxist “political correctness”. In case there was ever any doubt about Miss Blower’s Marxist credentials we can note, that before becoming NUT boss in 2009, she stood as a candidate for the extremist ‘London “Socialist” Alliance’ in…
Waiting for Godot
By Max Musson: Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play written by Irish playwright and poet Samuel Beckett and described as a ‘tragicomedy’ it incorporates both tragic and comic elements as the two main characters, Vladimir and Estragon wait in vain for the arrival of a third character, Godot, who never comes. So, what has this got to do with us? It is a metaphor for a condition that I recognise in many nationalists at…
ITV Leaders’ Debate & the Elephant in the Room
By Max Musson: As we all know, the forthcoming General Election will be largely irrelevant to the future wellbeing of the British people — we will after all simply be swapping ‘Tweedle-dum’ for ‘Tweedle-dee’ in an election that will almost certainly end in a Conservative led coalition or a Labour led coalition and in a continuation of fundamentally the same policies that have been so damaging to our nation over recent decades. Against this background…
The BBC Denounced
By Max Musson: The ‘Jeremy Clarkson affair’ has rumbled on for some time now and following complaints about his behaviour from various quarters his very lucrative relationship with the BBC has finally come to an end. Clarkson has been an object of fascination for the media, as various pundits have struggled to understand and fully describe the source of his great public popularity and it is as a result of this that he has been…
Encountering Antisemitism
By Max Musson: Since the Charlie Hebdo shootings and the siege of the kosher supermarket in Paris, the authorities on both side of the Channel have gone into overdrive in pandering to Jewish sensibilities, as if the issue of security in the face of Islamic terrorism revolves solely around the security needs of Jews and so much so, that the needs of the rest of us don’t really warrant attention. We have seen the Prime Minister, David…
Would you trust a Tory?
By Frederick Dixon: Remember those dim and distant days of yore (well, last May actually, following UKIP’s victory in the Euro elections) when we were told that the Westminster elite “got it”, that they had seen the “elephant in the room”? The elephant that they now said that they had got was, of course, the public concern about immigration which had so greatly contributed to UKIP’s victory. Doubts about the sincerity of our rulers’ conversion to immigration realism soon…
You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet!
By Max Musson: As David Cameron responds to the challenge posed by UKIP by talking up the ‘tough’ line that the Tories intend to take in tackling immigration into Britain from the EU, many commentators have already pointed out the disingenuous nature of this debate, explaining that immigration from the Third World is a much greater existential threat to the future survival and welfare of the European peoples. Few however have so far raised as…
As Remembrance Day & the Centenary of WWI Approaches …
By Max Musson: From time to time, the advocates of multiculturalism and multiracialism trot out the hackneyed assertion and untruth that one or more of the various immigrant groups in this country are perfectly entitled to colonise Britain because their forebears fought for this country during the two World Wars, and in this centenary year in which we are as a nation commemorating the sacrifices of our grandfathers’ and great-grandfathers’ generation during World War One,…
