Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
By Frederick Dixon: “Lies, damned lies and statistics”; I’m not sure that Disraeli’s famous quote is really fair because figures, if they are accurate and complete, cannot lie. They can though be “spun” to prove that the glass is really half full rather than half empty. A perfect example of such spinning was to be seen earlier this week when the Telegraph blared that “Britain’s multi-cultural melting pot is gathering speed”.The cause of the excitement?…
Unintended Consequences
By Frederick Dixon: As time goes on we become a steadily more liberal society, more accepting of racial and cultural diversity, more tolerant of the ever burgeoning ethnic minorities in our midst. Well, don’t we? That is certainly what I would have assumed, however reluctantly, until a few days ago when this headline caught my eye:- “Politicians blamed for hostility to migrants: Liberal ruling class is increasingly out of step with public opinion, say academics”.…
“Racial Prejudice”
By Frederick Dixon: Does anyone remember “racial prejudice”? It was something we were supposed to deplore when I was at school, which was quite a long time ago. It came after “the colour bar” but before “racism” and seems to have meant roughly the same, whatever that was or is. Therein lies the problem, the phrase is of such infinite flexibility and vagueness that it can be made to fit almost any hint of racial…
A Place in the Country
By Frederick Dixon: So lovely was this evening that I couldn’t bear to stay in, and a walk in the country beckoned. As I wandered along paths deep sunk amid blossoming hawthorn and cow parsley and amid every shade of green – and all this within fifteen miles of Charing Cross – I reflected for the ten thousandth time how near to a paradise most of England still is. That led me on, as it…
A Forgotten Hero?
By Frederick Dixon: Some of you will remember the late Michael Wharton who wrote in the Daily Telegraph for many years under the pseudonym of ‘Peter Simple’. One of our greatest twentieth century political satirists he was entirely a man of the racial nationalist Right, an astonishing exception to the processed group-think which usually passes for journalism in these times. He had what he called “the columnar reverse effect” – it was certain that whenever…
Sea Changes
By Frederick Dixon: Most of us will know of Derek Turner, editor of The Quarterly Review and formerly of Right Now. He has written a novel, “Sea Changes”, and an interview with him, ostensibly about the book but in fact wide ranging, appeared on the “Alternative Right” website on the 29th March. Turner makes many valid points in the interview about the present plight of our country and people; his tone is downbeat and fatalistic,…
The Need for Sacrifice
By Frederick Dixon: The destruction of our race and nation gathers pace. According to research published last year by the Demos think tank, the number of local council wards in England and Wales in which the population was wholly, or almost wholly, white British fell from 5,000 (56% of the total number) to 800 (9%) between 2001 and 2011 – just ten years. Needless to say, these changes are presented by the report’s authors as…
A New Reformation?
By Frederick Dixon: It was in 1517 that Martin Luther nailed his “95 Theses” to the door of Wittenberg church in Saxony and thus launched the Reformation. Although Luther was a remarkable man, there was nothing in his background or in his life as a monk to hint that here was one who, without intending to do so, turned the world of his time upside down. In another time Luther would have lived out a…
This Happy Breed?
By Frederick Dixon: This Royal throne of Kings, this sceptred isle, This other Eden, demi paradise, This fortress built by nature for herself, Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth,…
A Perilous Time
By Frederick Dixon: We stand on the brink of a new year, full of perils for our nation but possibilities for nationalism. The perils, apart from the ever continuing erosion of our nation through mass immigration and contamination of our gene pool by miscegenation, are two and both give rise to uncertainties pregnant with possibility:- 1/ The expected invasion of Balkan gypsies. It may be that it doesn’t materialise, but it almost certainly will and…
