Continue reading →: Britain’s Real Culture War? Left and Right Both Bow to Religious Conservatives
At the time of writing, politics is broken. This is the worst I have seen it in my lifetime and that feeling is shared by many. Multiple wars, the terrifying rise of the far right, social cohesion is fractured and politics has now become more about social issues than economic.…

Continue reading →: Parliament and the media are theatre and you’re the audience
If you watch the news or PMQs, you might think you’re seeing real debate. Politicians shout. Journalists chase soundbites. Big issues are “tackled.” The system looks like it’s functioning. But it’s not. What you’re seeing is a performance. The theory of parliament sounds amazing and it is certainly better than…

If you’re left wing, as I am, your goal should be clear: elect a left-wing government to enact meaningful policies or at least build popular support to influence the current government. If you support Palestine, like I do, your aim is to raise awareness and persuade pro-Israel supporters to join…

Right-wing politicians and pundits love to decry “cancel culture,” portraying themselves as heroic underdogs battling a world supposedly dominated by the left and liberal elites. Donald Trump has pushed this narrative so forcefully that it culminated in a violent insurrection on January 6. In the UK, Nigel Farage plays a…

Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Mao – the idea of one man who will change a broken society for the better has been gambled with before and it never worked. The left and the right alike fall for such fallacies because humans are emotional, desperate creatures particularly in times of crisis. The…

The Israel/Palestine issue has cut through all else in world politics since October 7. In the UK, for the first time, four MPs were elected solely on that platform. Since Hamas’ attack, around 17,000 children have died in Palestine. It is clear that there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.…

The Guardian is by far the best mainstream media newspaper (note I said mainstream – I think there are far superior independent media outlets) in the UK owing to the fact that every other one is owned by a billionaire or a state. Ultimately, I hope people read it between…

Article 10 of the Human Rights Act reads: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the…

Continue reading →: Nigel Farage is no patriotI am a patriot. In World War Two, when Nazi Germany declared war on the planet it was Britain, the USA, the Soviet Union and soldiers from the commonwealth; India, Pakistan, Jamaica, Canada etc. that beat them. Farage gains support partially due to the left abandoning patriotism in my opinion.…
