Mother Country
Frequent visitors to this website will recall that I posted an article a while ago about the decline of the White British birthrate in England and Wales in 2016 to a mere 60.6% of all births. I followed that with a piece about the depressing effect which a shortage of housing has on our birthrate, a shortage due in large part to immigration. I’m pleased to see that Lionel Shriver has picked up the connection…
All is Race!
You will all have seen that piece in the papers about the nursery group in Lincolnshire downgraded by Ofsted because it didn’t have any ethnic minorities among the children. This follows a similar downgrading last year for a primary school in the same town.

My argument was that the nature of value is both qualitative (subjective) and quantitative (objective). Qualitative…
Murderous Equality
“Equality” is one of the hoariest cliches and most pernicious slogans of modern times. Said to derive from a supposedly common-sense notion of fairness, the mad clamor underway to equalize the human race in fact has no basis whatsoever in justice or reality, human or otherwise… by Andy Nowicki on Alternative Right …Ironically, the idea of equality is almost inevitably deeply debasing to a culture; pushing for greater “equality” does nothing to make the dumb smart,…
