By Frederick Dixon: I suppose I’m like most men in that shopping is not a favourite chore; as far as possible I try to decide exactly what I want, go in and get it and come out as quickly as possible. But, being a bookworm, I make an exception for bookshops and will browse at length before coming out, very often, with nothing. So the other day I found myself in my local Waterstones and noticed…

By Max Musson: I obtained a copy of the results of a YouGov opinion poll taken during the last week of February this year and it was interesting to me that even before the current ‘migrant crisis’ had erupted as fully as it has now, 75% of the people polled stated they thought immigration has been too high over the last ten years, and it struck me that this viewpoint diametrically opposes the impression of…

By Max Musson: My attention has recently been drawn to another of the video blogs by Pat Condell, and just as with many of his other productions, he speaks compellingly about the madness of multiculturalism and the threat posed by ‘Islamism’ to all Western nations. I like Pat’s demeanour and the forthright way in which he asserts his common sense beliefs, but I have always been disappointed by the limitations placed on him, which mean that his…

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,…

By Max Musson: We are now just a week away from an historic vote which may very well result in a political separation of Scotland from the rest of the United Kingdom, and in the news we have David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK, apparently pleading with Scottish voters not to ‘break his heart’. During the last week we have in fact seen almost all of the ‘’big beasts’’ of the establishment parties venturing north of…

By Markus Willinger: The Ukraine crisis has not only shown that the old conflict between America and Russia still exists. It has also made it clear that Europe is still the locus of this conflict, but without any independent power of its own to affect the outcome. The Russians and the Americans argue about redrawing borders within Europe, and they don’t care what we Europeans think about it. They don’t care because they don’t need…

By Nick Grifford: The 2006 film entitled 300 was the brainchild of graphic novelist Frank Miller and director, Zackery “Zack” Snyder. The story charts the military exploits of a small Spartan army (the eponymous 300) during the campaign against Persian invasion, circa 480 BC. The film is suitably emotive and clearly provides an allusion to invasive Muslim incursions into Europe during the the past few decades, which, in itself, is not unwelcome. However, being Hollywood, there…
