Welcome to Great Britain. Like it or not, Great Britain is a Christian Country. Our Head of State is also the Head of the Church. (I abhor the thought that Prince Charles wants to become Defender of Faiths. Other faiths have enough defenders. They do not need another one. But that is another post for […]
Russell Tayler – In praise of the dream that was Rome
Two big issues have resurfaced recently: gay marriage and the EU. There’s no obvious connection between the two, but given the similar levels of attention afforded them by MPs and the media, you’d think they were of equal significance. They’re not. I’m not sure where I stand on gay marriage, or if I care about […]
MARX ON MONDAY
MARX ON MONDAY Kevin Marx – a view from the left. I don’t know about you but I for one am not impressed by the so-called unstoppable rise of UKIP. When all is said and done British Politics is determined by one thing and one thing only – social class. If you are upper-class […]
Delingpole on Friday: Obama, the IRS and the Führerprinzip
Kill and eat a baby manatee live on television? Urinate on the Lincoln memorial? Torch the US flag? Fly Air Force One into the Empire State Building with a final cry of Allahu Akhbar? Maybe you can help me. I’m trying to think of the things President Obama would have to do in order for […]
Thatcher on Thursday : Mali. Global Wealth Redistribution isn’t Complex, is it?
Dwight Eisenhower was a five-star general in the US Army during World War II. He became the first supreme commander of NATO. In 1953 he successfully campaigned to become the 34th President of the United States. This Republican was a Military President. His speech on leaving office in 1961 should not be overlooked for its […]
Russell Taylor – In praise of defying the status quo
This column hasn’t become a tribune for UKIP, honest. In fact, I was determined to write about something – anything – other than party politics, but then I read this article by Toby Young and my good intentions went out the window. It didn’t anger or frustrate me so much as remind me how much […]
Marx on Monday – vote Obama
You may not be able to tell it from my name but my family are actually refugees from Chechnya in Southern Russia. My father was a prominent member of the Islamic International Brigade, fighting for Chechen independence from Russia. To realize his dream of an independent state of Chechnya he had no option but to […]
DELINGPOLE ON FRIDAY (well, AT THE WEEKEND, really) We are the new radicals and we need some new rules
Why do we need some new rules? Because the old ones were written in the 70s by a Marxist community organiser called Saul Alinsky. He had some useful ideas, many of which we can steal or adapt. But some of them are ill-expressed or incoherent. Eg Rule 10 “The major premise for tactics is the […]
Thatcher on Thursday – an illusion of democracy
Did you see it? Did you hear it? The moment that Orwell was quoted in the Queen’s Speech. OK, she didn’t have to quote the line in full. But it was there… “He who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past.” I am a big fan of […]
Russell Taylor – In Praise of Protest
So the Tories took a kicking in the local elections, but they’re determined to win the voters back. Not with that malodorous potpourri of policies, they won’t. Until they’re prepared to ditch their Third Way politics and acknowledge the anxieties of their chief constituency, the voters they’ve lost won’t be coming back. The problem is […]
