Autopsy of an Argument Between An Extremist And A Moderate

On a Friday night in late September I had a fierce argument with a mate. I use the term ‘mate’ deliberately: he is not a friend. He is not someone I’ve ever phoned for a chat. We’ve never gone for a drink, just the two of us. Instead, this man is part of a widerContinue reading “Autopsy of an Argument Between An Extremist And A Moderate”

A Tale of Covid19 and Political Activism (With a Little Bit of Brexit Thrown In)

I met a woman recently who was against all of The Establishment figures associated with Globalism – George Soros, Bill Gates, Tony Blair, Klaus Schwab etc – but was also totally against Brexit. I couldn’t understand her inconsistency. To me, all Globalists are evil psychopaths, intent on World Domination. You can’t support Globalists on oneContinue reading “A Tale of Covid19 and Political Activism (With a Little Bit of Brexit Thrown In)”

Corporations are Undermining Democracy

Governments working hand-in-hand with Corporations is never a good idea. Both of these structures have a lot of power. In a well-functioning capitalist economy, each structure would be antagonistic to the other. Problems arise if the objectives of these functions start aligning with each other. Such alignment is not going to be healthy for democracy.Continue reading “Corporations are Undermining Democracy”

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

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”

It’s City vs Country Now

The culture wars we are currently having to tolerate so as not to be a called a bigot or a fascist or a racist or a sexist or an Islamophobe have 4 categories that separate the woke from the fast asleep: 1) Left vs Right where the Right is trying – and largely failing –Continue reading “It’s City vs Country Now”

Brexit is not about the EU. It’s about Class.

We have reached the point where Brexit isn’t even about the EU anymore. It’s turned into a good, old-fashioned class war. The EU was the catalyst but the war we are seeing fought day-in, day-out on social media, is a war between the middle class and the working class. The upper echelons are venting theirContinue reading “Brexit is not about the EU. It’s about Class.”
