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”

It’s Stuff Like This That Will Bring This Situation To A Head

We see unfairness and hypocrisy all around. We see The Elites telling us to do one thing, whilst they do another. We see incompetence and corruption. Yet, it becomes ever more clear that it is not incompetance, it is malicious and deliberate sabotage. People are noticing and they are becoming increasingly disgruntled, exasperated and angry.Continue reading “It’s Stuff Like This That Will Bring This Situation To A Head”

‘If (2018 version)’ With Thanks to Kipling

In July 2018, students at the University of Manchester painted over a mural of a poem by Rudyard Kipling, arguing that the writer “dehumanised people of colour”. Kipling’s poem was replaced by a poem by the civil rights activist Maya Angelou. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/jul/19/manchester-university-students-paint-over-rudyard-kipling-mural In response, I wrote my own 2018 version of ‘If’ to reflect the difficultiesContinue reading “‘If (2018 version)’ With Thanks to Kipling”

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”

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”

Welcome to the Matriarchy

Many women in the West believe – or pretend to believe – they are being oppressed by a system of Patriarchy Such women believe that the world would be a better place if the patriarchy were destroyed. However, what does ‘destroying Patriarchy’ mean? We’ll come to that later In the meantime, it is hard toContinue reading “Welcome to the Matriarchy”

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”

Western Society is Being Balkanised

What we are seeing in Western society is a systematic attempt to balkanise Western culture. Balkanise: divide (a region or body) into smaller mutually hostile states or groups. The traditions and cultural mores of any society provide social cohesion and a unity of purpose for the peoples of that society. However, the rules that haveContinue reading “Western Society is Being Balkanised”
