Rory Stewart isn’t taking Islam seriously

It’s not often noted that the taboo on discussing racial issues goes both ways. While critics of immigration must often tap-dance around their objections to multiculturalism, all but the most gormless of open borders advocates tend to be reluctant to accuse their opponents of racism in response. It’s therefore refreshing to hear a liberal flatly state ...

Kanye West should be banned from the UK

Geert Wilders was refused entry to the United Kingdom in 2009. A sitting Dutch MP and leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), he had travelled to screen his film Fitna in Parliament. Because the film, and Wilders, are critical of Islam, our government judged his visit to be threatening to community security and public order, and he was turned away at ...

This is why shoplifting is rife in Britain

Walker Smith, 54, who has worked as a store assistant at Waitrose for the past 17 years, has been fired for trying to stop a shoplifter. This is the damning series of events that took place at Waitrose’s Clapham Junction branch: a customer alerted Smith to a thief filling a bag with Lindt chocolate eggs (£13 a pop).

Israel Prescribes Death by Hanging for Palestinians Convicted of Terrorism-Related Murder

Israel has just passed a law permitting the state to execute Palestinians who commit deadly attacks by hanging. The law allows the death penalty only to be applied to Palestinians, or “Israeli Arabs”, as the state refers to them, but it does not apply to Israeli Jews. And a law that specifically allows a state to kill part of the population but not ...
The Green party’s transport plan is pure madness

The Green party’s transport plan is pure madness

As you may have noticed, we’ve seen rather more wokery than greenery from the Green party since Zack Polanski took the helm. If you’re wondering why, a party policy document on transport, revealed by the Mail, might give you a clue. The party wants to reduce motorway and dual carriageway speed limits to 55 mph, impose Welsh-style 20 mph limits in towns ...
Why junior doctors are back on strike

Why junior doctors are back on strike

In the emergency department, and on my wards, the strikes sit lightly. My specialty of internal medicine never closes; Easter Monday was a normal working day. The only difference from today until Monday next is that junior doctors will be scarce. Not terribly scarce, in truth, since many are as disenchanted with the strikes as you might hope. They ...
Why Artemis II matters

Why Artemis II matters

Weren’t those images beamed back from the Artemis II mission something to catch the breath in the throat? If something in you wasn’t stirred by the sight of Earth, glimpsed through the window of the space capsule past the silhouetted face of the astronaut Christina Koch, I don’t think you can be fully alive. And what about the thought that for the ...
