Henry Jacobson ‘Neville Southall: The Homo Sovieticus of the Corbyn era’ Spiked Online 7th June 2018 Identity politics – a cultish faux-leftism where ideas are valued according to who’s saying them; where all criticism can be deflected through childish appeals to ideological purity; and where free speech is replaced by a convoluted system of competingContinue reading “Quotes on Identity Politics”

Live Right, Vote Left
I am often confused by the inconsistency between people’s lifestyles and their politics. The inconsistency is most beautifully exhibited by left wing voters. I have some some nice middle class friends where at least one member of the couple – usually the woman – is left wing. They exhibit all the traits of social conservativesContinue reading “Live Right, Vote Left”
The Puritanical Gatekeepers
The Left are now the gatekeeper of public discourse: The Left determines acceptable culture in our society. I contrast this to my own upbringing in the ’70s and ’80s when it was always The Right that was the gatekeeper of our morals. In those days the focus of The Right’s puritanism was the subject ofContinue reading “The Puritanical Gatekeepers”
I Come To Bury Tommy Robinson, Not To Praise Him
Tommy Robinson is the EDL leader. EDL are a bunch of football thugs that added racism to their repetoire. Tommy is the guy that bangs on about the evils of Islam the whole time. Everywhere that Robinson goes there’s trouble. He attracts trouble. He should stop antagonizing Muslims. He should let them pursue their cultureContinue reading “I Come To Bury Tommy Robinson, Not To Praise Him”
18 Reasons Why Remainers Cling To The EU
I always knew that I did not understand why Remainers set such store in the EU. I wondered what were Remainers seeing that I couldn’t. This bothered me. I wanted to understand. By understanding I would be better placed to debate Remainers. As such, shortly after The Referendum I started reading anti-Brexit articles in TheContinue reading “18 Reasons Why Remainers Cling To The EU”
Quotes on Nationhood
Pat Buchanan ‘Islam’s Conquest of Europe’ The Unz Review, Sep 8th 2015 “Liberalism is the ideology of Western suicide,” wrote James Burnham in his 1964 “Suicide of the West.” Burnham predicted that the mindless magnanimity of liberals, who subordinate the interests of their own people and nations to utopian and altruistic impulses, would bring aboutContinue reading “Quotes on Nationhood”
Quotes on Diversity
Stefan Molyneux podcast It’s possible that mass immigration might work if there wasn’t this constant leftist drumbeat of ‘white privilege’ and “you’re being treated differently because you’re black or you’re brown and the whites hate you”. It’s one thing to say were going to bring a whole bunch of other races and cultures. It’s anotherContinue reading “Quotes on Diversity”
My argument for Brexit
I had a wobble during the weekend after the referendum result was known. I appeared to be on the wrong side of my demographic group. I’m a young (a-hem!), middle class (a-hem!), good-looking (a-hem!) university graduate. The demographic analysis suggests I should have voted Remain. Yet I was adamant that, right from the start, IContinue reading “My argument for Brexit”
What is Intersectionality?
People often say to me “Atticus, I don’t really understand this groovy new thing called ‘intersectionality’ that all of the professional agitators are banging on about these days. Can you explain it to me?” As such, I thought it worth adding a page to my blog so that everyone can appreciate the wonder of thisContinue reading “What is Intersectionality?”
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining me! I started this blog principally so that I could publish my argument for leaving the EU. After setting up this account, I started thinking of other things I wanted to write about. I mainly write about The Left (criticisms), or Government incompetence or tales of hypocrisy. The culture wars are alsoContinue reading “The Journey Begins”
