As the Dust Settles … Europe on the Brink
Three weeks on from the fateful day when the British people finally managed to throw off the death grip that the EU held us in, we can look back on a turbulent period during which money markets and stock markets have see-sawed violently and during which several major politicians, and some minor, have seen their career prospects first raised up, and then dashed upon the rocks. Now however, as the dust settles, we find Boris…
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…
No Nation Tories!
By Max Musson: Since before the general election there has been much talk in Conservative, government and establishment circles and within the mass media generally about terrorism, and the need to counter terrorist activity and extremism in our society. Recently on Independent Television (ITV) the Home Secretary Theresa May spoke to Susanna Reid about the need to counter extremism and those who seek to ‘divide’ our nation, stating, “we are one nation, we will be…
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…
The Cheek of Mrs Lipman!
By Max Musson: This morning the Daily Mail and Guardian websites contain articles in which well known Jewish actress and alleged comedienne, Maureen Lipman is quoted as saying that she is contemplating leaving Britain and going to live in New York or Israel, so concerned is she about the rise in antisemitic ‘attacks’ in Britain. According to the Mail: “Mrs Lipman, 71, said the Jewish community in Britain ‘give, give and give’ and described the…
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…
Cultural Struggle: What it is and how to win it
By David Yorkshire: The following is a transcript of a speech I gave at a nationalist meeting in the summer of last year. I’m here tonight not to talk about politics, but about something broader and more far-reaching. I’m going to talk about culture, because culture is that which shapes politics and ideas in general, and we are going to look at how this is achieved. Now even the word culture itself has been politicised…
A Strangely Jewish Affair …
By Max Musson: As a political writer who often has to cover issues that hinge upon the racial, religious or ethnic background of individuals in the public eye, and the connections between individuals that are often otherwise concealed, it is rather bemusing to find myself reporting on the spat that is currently taking place between Ed Miliband and the Labour Party on the one hand and the Daily Mail on the other, in which various…
Eugenics and the Search for a British Obama
By Max Musson: Writing in the wake of Barack Obama’s re-election as US President, for ‘The Voice’, the black community’s newspaper and online news service, Duton Adebayo shared with his readers part of a telephone conversation he had with a fellow black journalist who asked him, “When will we get our first black leader here in Britain?” Adebayo’s answer was “2020!” and in the article for The Voice, he went on to express his belief that…
