End of Summer Reflections: The World Cup and English Identity
It’s been sometime since the World Cup final in Russia and discussions about the England team in the press and among wider society have now reduced to a slow simmer. It seems fitting that now the smoke has cleared someone can provide an analysis of the England team and the World Cup and its possible implications on English identity, as whether or not football is panem et circenses as some may say, it’s symbolism and…
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…
A ‘Second Referendum’ on EU Membership?
The European Union Referendum Act 2015 is an Act of Parliament that made provision for a non-binding referendum to be held in the UK on whether Britain should remain a member of the European Union or leave. The bill was introduced to the House of Commons by Philip Hammond, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on 28 May 2015 and the Act was subsequently passed by 544 votes to 53 on 9 June…
Peter Hitchens Interview
By Max Musson: Sunday Mail columnist and author, Peter Hitchens, is not a racial nationalist by any stretch of the imagination, although he is a traditional conservative of a type who is completely out of place, not just within the modern Conservative Party, but within the spectrum of political opinion thought respectable by today’s mass media generally. His views on many subjects are sufficiently close to ours however to make his commentary on the state of modern…
Floundering in the Ashes
By Max Musson: The internet forums would have been aflutter with jubilation and speculation as to what this ‘momentous’ turn of events might have heralded, had it happened three or four years ago, but today’s announcement that Nick Griffin is to ‘step aside’ as British National Party Chairman, was met with what can only be described as a mixture of mild disinterest and derision in nationalist circles. Indeed there seems to have been more of…
Confessions of an Undercover Informant
By Max Musson: An interesting article appears on the Guardian website today featuring a video in which Gary Shopland, an ex-BNP member, tells the story of his alleged service as an undercover police informant. The article is interesting for a number of reasons; firstly because Shopland’s membership of the BNP apparently ended in 2003 when he says he chose to stop working as an informant; because Shopland reveals nothing of any significance about the BNP;…
Boxers, Bones & Bone Clones
By Max Musson: I have always found it ironic that journalists often end up as specialist feature writers for subjects that they have no real knowledge of or qualifications in, and I was reminded of this again this morning when I saw popular science articles on most of the newspaper websites today quoting Dr David Carrier of the University of Utah, who has done much research into vertebrate physical adaption for either fight or flight. In these articles…
Repatriation
By Max Musson: As someone who has campaigned for an end to mass immigration into the UK and for the compulsory repatriation of non-White immigrants, I am very familiar with the National Front and one time British National Party slogan, ‘Stop immigration, start repatriation!’ and have lost count of the number of times I have heard liberals and leftists argue that repatriation in particular, is impractical, cannot be countenanced on humanitarian grounds and would make…
The Approaching Cyber Tyranny
By Max Musson: Anyone who has worked in a managerial capacity for a major bank will be familiar with the concept of ‘moral risk’ and the basis of this concept is the premise that if someone is routinely given the opportunity to perform a dishonest or immoral act that is to their own advantage without anyone else finding out, then sooner or later they will take advantage of that opportunity. While bank employees routinely have…
