Criticisms of MBH98 by McIntyre and McKitrick

In 1998 Michael Mann, Raymond Bradley and Malcolm Hughes published a study that presented Earth’s temperature record over the previous 600 years. This document included the ‘Hockey Stick graph’ that showed a projection of Earth’s temperatures escalating rapidly in the near future. This document became known as ‘MBH98’. A graph based on MBH98 and itContinue reading “Criticisms of MBH98 by McIntyre and McKitrick”

The Differences Between The Left and The Right

My children are reaching the age when they need to gain a deeper understanding of the world in which they live. They certainly need to know about politics. An understanding of politics leads to a better understanding of the self since knowing how you stand on political issues will highlight those issues that are importantContinue reading “The Differences Between The Left and The Right”

Articles I Love

Some articles are so good, they cannot be quoted. Rather, they must be read in their entirety.

The Unrequited Love of the White Working Class

Isn’t it strange that the white working class are the most patriotic of people when, it could be argued, their country has done very little for them. Yet it is the middle class, specifically the liberal middle class, who have benefitted so much that hate the UK the most. I used to find a lotContinue reading “The Unrequited Love of the White Working Class”

Wokeness as Religion

Wokeness is the new sensation that’s sweeping the nation. Its adherents are young and earnest. They have captured the moral high ground from where they sermonise the rest of us (or throw stones at us). Wokeness has many parallels with religion in these Godless times. It’s probably not a coincidence that the weakening hold ofContinue reading “Wokeness as Religion”

10 Questions for Climate Alarmists

However,Continue reading “10 Questions for Climate Alarmists”

A Robust Defence of Western Culture

Immigration is the battleground for Western Culture. Leftists say there’s no such thing as white culture. Therefore, there’s nothing to protect from mass immigration. They feel we need to import culture. I can’t decide whether such Leftists are ignorant or lying to further their own warped ideology. A lot of both, probably. However, to counterContinue reading “A Robust Defence of Western Culture”

The Left and Islam: A Civil Ceremony Made in Pragmatism

The Left and Islam have formed an informal coalition. The deal is that Muslims will vote ‘Labour’ while the Labour Party has agreed to introduce blasphemy protections for Islam that are not afforded to any other religion: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/20/labour-formally-adopts-definition-islamophobia In some ways this alliance makes perfect sense: the nativity of Leftists fits perfectly with the machiavellianismContinue reading “The Left and Islam: A Civil Ceremony Made in Pragmatism”
