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”

Covid19: The Perfect Storm
‘A Perfect Storm’ describes a situation whereby a number of seemingly unrelated factors came into alignment to cause an awful situation that no one could have predicted. The sinking of the Titanic is the classic example. Stock market crashes provide many other examples where many, often quite slow moving forces create an unstable environment thatContinue reading “Covid19: The Perfect Storm”
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.

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”

However, first I want to give my own take on Antifa. Atticus says: If I ever suspect I may have behaved badly, I put myself to theContinue reading “Antifa. When Will They Realise…”
White Flagellation
There are increasing numbers of white people in the West who feel the need to martyr themselves at the altar of multiculturalism. This martyrdom goes beyond simply being an advocate of multiculturalism. I am not referring to a fondness for international cuisine. No, I am referring to people who wish to dismantle white culture. AndContinue reading “White Flagellation”

The people who despise everyone beneath them and resent everyone above them. Here is a list of all of 22 characteristics of The Left that are having such a detrimental impact on our societyContinue reading “The State of The Left”
