The British are always claiming to have the best institutions in the world. The NHS, the British Army, the Mother of all Parliaments, whatever it is, whenever it was, Britain leads or led the world, or so the story runs. It is interesting to note Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, doubtless high on Neuro-Linguistic Programming,... Read More

This is the tale of three men, a Russian, a Greek, and an Englishman, separated in time but united by doctrine. The first was Jewish, born Lev Bronstein, although he is better known to history as Leon Trotsky. After leading the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, Trotsky became Lenin’s right-hand man,... Read More

ARTER GODWIN WOODSON’S THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO I am fascinated by chance finds in second-hand bookshops. Favorite books that have shaped my life have often been objets trouvés, washed up by the tide, the same way Nietzsche found Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Idea in a second-hand bookshop in Leipzig in 1865, when...

“What do they know of England who only England know?” Rudyard Kipling’s famous question, a line from his poem The English Flag, was actually written in defense of Empire, but is still worth asking by Englishmen in these post-imperial times. Enoch Powell, however, found the phrase sadly outdated. In a speech given on St. George’s... Read More

Words and phrases often enter the political lexicon via the US media before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the UK, and one such recent migrant is the “uniparty”. The Americans have been using it for some time, and the Right-of-center media in Britain are now cautiously trying it out. The idea, of course, is that... Read More

Pre-election Britain is currently going through a self-evaluation in such a way that, were it retail goods brought over a shop counter, there could be an action brought under the UK’s Trade Descriptions Act of 1968. This piece of legislation replaced the Merchandise Marks Act of 1887 with “fresh provisions prohibiting misdescriptions of goods, services,... Read More

Economics is tailor-made for technocrats. It revolves around systems, and systems are everything for our current hyper-managerial class of social engineers. Once a system is in place, whether it works or not takes second place to its complicated maintenance. The subsequent problem for the technocrat task force is how that system is presented to non-specialists,... Read More

In December of last year, Gaza’s oldest mosque was largely destroyed by Israeli air-strikes. The Omari mosque dating back to the seventh century and named for Umar ibn al-Khattab, Islam’s second caliph, and so is much mourned. It is worth noting in passing that Islam does not separate religion and state as the West does,... Read More

Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning Nigel Biggar William Collins, 2023 The White population of the USA are wearily used to being beaten with the whip of historical slavery, but in the United Kingdom this weapon is not so effective. Great Britain certainly played a major role in the slave trade, but was most notable in being... Read More

The phrase “special relationship” to describe the links between the US and the UK came to prominence in the 1980s, when the countries’ heads of government were Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The expression was in fact coined by Winston Churchill in the 1940s but resonated once again due to the obvious historical links between... Read More

With election season approaching on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, political rhetoric will increasingly favor certain themes, and even certain words, in an attempt to entrance and ensnare the public. In the UK, where the government quite blatantly uses NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) both internally and when addressing the voter, modern classics such as “sustainability”,... Read More

'In Dublin’s fair city', runs the first line of the Irish folk song Molly Malone, ‘where the girls are so pretty’. Dublin lives up to that description, or at least it did. Since its prime, however, and victim as it now is to a nationwide political program in which its famously friendly people had no... Read More

Mass immigration is often rightly described as an invasion of countries, but cities can suffer the same ill fate. Successful occupiers don’t invade a country in one fell swoop. They take key cities first, then join the dots. In London, invasion is underway using a proxy army. The commander’s name: Sadiq Khan, the Pakistani Muslim... Read More

Britain has an unfortunate tendency to import the more questionable aspects of American culture, and so it is proving with Critical Race Theory (CRT). Both the literature and the practice have been in the UK for some time and will doubtless further their incursion into schools once transgenderism has finished its turn. Now that the... Read More

The two seismic elections of 2016, Donald Trump’s Presidential victory and the British “Brexit” referendum, were linked by the common thread of a phenomenon they served to expose. Trump’s win and the ensuing resistance in his own administration showed the existence of a “deep state” that could be mobilized against an undesired political outcome in... Read More

The American term “intersection”, what the British call a “crossroads”, is both a practical solution and a hazard. Aided by traffic lights and signage, it allows the flow of traffic travelling in different, non-parallel directions, but the fact that these differing streams have to traverse common space is what gives it a greater element of...

The communist enforcer Hope not Hate is the British equivalent of America’s Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. It releases an annual report (downloadable here), entitled State of Hate, the aim of which claims to be to provide “the most comprehensive and analytical guide to the state of far-right extremism in Britain today”....

Above, left, one of the thousands of all-white street parties during the Coronation Year of 1953—above right, the Muslim Mayor of London turns on the Ramadan lights. Better one thousand enemies outside the house than one inside—Arabic proverb. In 2006 a powerful British Leftist gave a speech in Cairo that strongly defended Islam. Commenting on... Read More
