In the UK political system ministers are appointed by the Prime Minister. Thus ministers are shuffled from department to department without having any expertise in that field. So you can have a minister of sport who has never played a sport who then becomes a minister of education, despite not going to a comprehensive school …

Uncontrolled immigration of low income people who, along with their large families, cost the British taxpayers far more than they produce. Net zero targets that, though laudable, are pointless unless the biggest carbon emissions producers in the world, China and India, do the same. The realistic answer is nuclear power. Ridiculous woke policies that encourage …

“Non-binary” is a fancy name for saying the person has a low or no sex drive. Perhaps they will develop one later in life, perhaps not. But they are still biologically male or female. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY SHOULD BE HATED. A “transexual” man is simply a sterile woman with no penis, a flat …

There have always been effeminate men. There have always been masculine women. But they are still men and women. It is a lie is that men can become women. They can only become castrated men. They can never get pregnant, never have a period and never lactate milk. It is a lie is that women …

Why does Germany have a German owned auto industry while every UK car maker is foreign owned?

China, that is to say mainland China has threatened to take Taiwan by force. But history shows that it is mainland China that is the renegade part of the Republic of China, Taiwan or Formosa, not that Taiwan “belongs” to Communist China. According to Wikipedia’s entry on Taiwan: “The Republic of China, which had overthrown the Qing …

A currency can be anything. In primitive societies it can be cowrie shells, in prison it can be cigarettes. What matters it that other people will accept it at a known value. In the west we use pounds, dollars, euros etc. We can easily buy stuff with cash, a credit or debit card or check …

Boris was too left-wing for his party. He was an electoral liability however due to so-called Partygate.He had some wine with workers in his office during the lock-down.Now these were workers in his own office, unable to work from home.I’m sure they had coffee or teas breaks during the day.

A lot of fuss today about a black man who was shot 60 times while apparently running from the police. I’m not defending this however: In Kentucky 3 police officers and their K9 dog were killed by a man with a gun while investigating a domestic disturbance: https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/community-in-kentucky-horrified-after-officers-k-9-killed-in-shootout-allen-police-dog-fatally-shot-guns-firearms-lance-storz-prestonsburg-police-captain-ralph-frasure-canine-handler-jacob-chaffins-floyd-county-deputy-william-petry But this doesn’t make as good copy …
