IF YOU still rely on the BBC, Sky, ITV, Daily Mail, Telegraph or Times for your news, you will have missed the Israeli Ambassador’s stinging speech to the members of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday. Gilad Erdan spoke during a debate on the United States’ decision to veto the Palestinian Authority’s bid to become the 194th member of the United Nations.  As reported by All Israel News the debate came amid concern within the international community about civilians in Gaza, where according to Hamas more than 34,00 ..read more

HAS there ever been a time when the ideology and actions of Western politicians have been so out of kilter with the wishes of the electorate? I would say no, there has not. An honest appraisal would conclude that our ruling class long ago crossed the democratic Rubicon and is now a genuine enemy of the people. The average voter simply wants an elected government to represent his or her best interests, with a (sometimes) dollop of virtuous altruism thrown in. Every four or five years we vote for individual politicians based on manifestos promising us something along these lines. Each and every ..read more

WE ALL know about the woke indoctrination fired off in schools at pupils from year 1 onwards – penguins with two daddies, drowning polar bears, etc. Now the Stupid Woke are peddling their dysfunctional propaganda to toddlers, and there appears to be plenty of material to choose from. Those who have yet to reach their second birthday, and whose vocabulary is only just developing around the basics of ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada’, can have the joys of Green propaganda pummelling their ears with the Electric Car Song, which came up on my one-and-a-bit-year-old granddaughter’s Spotify toddler playlist. I ..read more

TWO months ago, I wrote this open letter to Claire Coutinho, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. It was published by TCW on March 1.  One of my contacts is in her constituency, so he was able to write to her as a constituent. He passed this letter on to her with a few comments of his own. This presented a great opportunity to get the answers straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were. Similar letters to MPs are normally answered by a bog-standard response from some lowly civil servant. Here is the letter. Dear Ms Coutinho MAY I start by asking if you are aware ..read more

TWO WEEKS ago I was contacted by the award-winning and Emmy-nominated film maker Vanessa Dylyn about her latest documentary, Covid Collateral, which deals with the suppression of prominent scientific voices during the period of covid. It asks: What happens when science is censored in a free society? She believes this is the ‘mainstream’ breakthrough film that will appeal to the reasonable left- to right-of-centre viewer, and it was exactly with that in mind she set out on the painstaking journey of making it. She gave me a link to watch it privately and I can ..read more

SOME good news for a change. According to Sherelle Jacobs in the Telegraph, in the wake of their catastrophic local election results the Tories are on the verge of an existential defeat. We have heard it all before, of course, and no one should underestimate the Tories’ ferocious instincts for survival at any cost, but this time it may be true. If so, Direct Democracy will have much to do with it. Ultimately, the Tories have been defenestrated by the 2016 Brexit referendum and its aftermath. This is because the referendum crystallised the state of national democracy and the health of the ..read more

IT IS nearly six years since the BBC’s then director of news Fran Unsworth issued a formal directive to BBC journalists stating, in effect, that climate change is proven and may not be challenged on the airwaves. It was a totalitarian memorandum unashamedly aimed at stamping out free scientific discourse, on the basis that certain facts are established beyond dispute, as we reported at the time.  The crucial paragraph read: ‘Most climate scientists regard a rise of 2 degrees C as the point when global warming could become irreversible and the effect ..read more

WITH the formal withdrawal of the AstraZeneca vaccine announced yesterday, it’s appropriate to remind people of this double-page spread in the Times on March 23, 2021 that hailed the AstraZeneca vaccine as 100 per cent effective. In particular note the article highlighted bottom right. This is the article by Tom Whipple: Two of the four ‘Queen Mary University of London’ academics were Norman and Martin. The online version of this article explicitly named Norman as one of the academics: While we are proud that we did indeed raise the alarm about safety issues with the covid vaccine ..read more
