Seventy years ago today, on the 22nd of June 1948, the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury with several hundred Jamaicans on board. Thus began something quite unprecedented in all of our history – the displacement of the native population of these islands, hitherto entirely representative of the human stocks of north western Europe, by peoples of quite alien origin. What was then “a cloud no larger than a man’s hand” now overshadows the whole sky…

Sick of the “Royal” wedding? Yes, so am I. In fact I was sick of it even before I penned the earlier piece which appeared here on the 18th May. Nevertheless, I thought it worth looking at the aftermath. Very much as I expected, the press went completely gaga over the fact that she’s a half-caste. Here’s a couple of very different but still fairly typical journalistic reactions:- Bonnie Greer in the Daily Telegraph, 21.5.2018…

Was there ever a more modern, a more fashionable, marriage than that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? The bride really does seem to have been designed by a committee of progressive cosmopolitans to show that our stuffy old monarchy has been brought bang up to date. She has everything – American, divorced, an actress, a convert to Judaism – now safely converted back to Anglicanism (just how sincere can such convenient conversions really be?)…

After much delay, the trial began this week, on charges of incitement to racial hatred, of the much loved, ebullient and renowned nationalist organiser and speaker Jez Turner, or Jeremy Bedford-Turner, to give him his full name. This trial is the culmination of a great amount of effort exerted by various influential members of the Jewish community, particularly the so-called ‘Campaign Against Antisemitism’, who like most vexatious litigants, seem determined to perform an act of communally…

I’m not sure whether or not the Commonwealth conference has quite finished yet. I thought it had, but then caught something on the radio the other day about a related function or reception, but as my interest in the institution is limited I didn’t really pay attention. Perhaps I should have, because this seemingly moribund organisation is coming back to bite us. It is not by coincidence that the conference was overshadowed by the Windrush…

Much has been printed and broadcast recently about the plight of many West Indian immigrants who entered Britain legally between 1948 and 1971, as children, on their parent’s passports. They have now been dubbed the ‘Windrush Generation’ after the first ship to arrive in Britain carrying West Indian immigrants, the SS Empire Windrush. We are led to believe that the arrival of these children was never documented and that as a result of that lack…

A wave of relief swept the nation earlier this week when Prime Minister Theresa May announced that in future, celebration of the life of murdered Black teenager Stephen Lawrence and the mourning of his death would be centred around just one day a year — the 22nd April each year. As the 25th anniversary of his death passed, it had been feared that government ministers, Royalty and other establishment toadies, already knelt in fawning genuflection were planning to atone…

“You may believe in God or you may not,” says Homeless Jack.  “I don’t care. That’s your business and the existence of God can’t be proven, so it’s up to you to believe or not.  However, you should believe that you are the  product of your DNA and that your DNA provides the code that makes you who and what you are and it also makes you part of a group of similar people that…

On the 20th April 1968 the Conservative statesman Enoch Powell spoke in Birmingham on the subject of non-White immigration from the Commonwealth, and although the current transformation of our country had at that time barely begun, this was already the subject of great public concern. He spoke of the rapid increase in the numbers of immigrants, of the soaring immigrant birth rate, of the harassment of White people in the inner cities, of the conspiracy…

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…
