It’s interesting how far away conflict can have impacts elsewhere. This picture shows three people engaged in selling poppies to raise money for veterans at Charing Cross Station in central London. As you can see they are lost in a sea of pro-Palestinian protestors. Their faces say it all. The response both of much of […]

Here is another speech by youtuber and commentator, Konstantin Kisin. Brief, to the point, and positive, speaking at ARC, the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. There’s a lot here I think my friends at BW.com will appreciate.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR7nVYz9rJo

I thought I’d share this video of Douglas Murray speaking in London on the current situation in Israel and the reactions to it in the UK. I think it will be of interest, and also the comments on dealing with vocal Hamas supporters in the UK are pertinent for the US too.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCUfNLENLZg

Just a quick link to Mahyer Tousi’s reporting of pro-Palestinian demos in London tonight. Tousi is a very sound British/Iranian Youtuber etc.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhtlYPa1sWk Overall, so far, I’ve been reasonably ok with the UK media’s coverage of the situation in Israel. What has happened is such that even the most demented soppy “Teach the world to […]

In a Right Angle a while back, Bill described the First World War as the greatest tragedy in human history, a big, bold statement. Given that the Second World War killed far more people and saw both the Holocaust and Hiroshima it might seem obvious that the Second World was worse than the First, however, […]

Ok, Nigel Farage isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s no surprise that the left and EU Remainiacs loathe him, fair enough, that’s their job. Like many on the British Right I’m not totally comfortable with him. I do admire and appreciate what he managed to achieve regarding our leaving the EU. I agree with him […]

Well now. When I tried to post a comment on a story about the Spanish trying, once more (yawn) to assert sovereignty over Gibraltar, and I used the term “cow stabbers” to describe the Spanish, I didn’t expect it to get through, and I was right. However, when I tried to reply to another post […]

I’m sure most, if not all, of my friends on BW.com have heard of Douglas Murray. He now spends most of his time in the States and is no stranger to the US political scene, he’s even been on Gutfeld! I just saw his speech at the National Conservativism event in London this May. I […]

I was going to open by saying I didn’t want to talk about the latest bizarre episode in the Mrs and Mr Markle story, but who am I kidding? They’re like a skin condition, you KNOW you shouldn’t scratch but… So, a two-hour high-speed car chase through New York? Really? I know that my knowledge […]

Usually, I would jump at the chance of seeing a performance of Richard III, it’s my favourite Shakespeare play by a long way. I enjoy both the Laurence Olivier and Ian McKellen film adaptations as well. Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard was very interesting. So, as the play was running at my local theatre, The […]

I am currently re-reading an excellent book, Alex de Jonge’s Stalin, And the Shaping of the Soviet Union. It’s hardly light reading, as you’d expect. Nevertheless, de Jonge’s writing is clear and engaging, there are even flashes of dark, dry humour. He certainly has no illusions about Communism. There are no attempts to lay all […]

So, hard on the heels of his late mother’s platinum jubilee and then funeral we are getting ready to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles the III’s coronation. I confess myself less than enthusiastic. “What’s this?” I hear you cry “Is the Limey looney turning republican in his old age?”. No, I am […]
