John Taylor, Baron Kilclooney, former deputy leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, has caused shockwaves in the political world by describing vice president-elect Kamala Harris as ‘the Indian.’ Angela Smith, Labour leader in the Lords, described Kilclooney’s remarks as ‘despicable and beneath contempt’, and is to make an official complaint. Well, Kilclooney’s reference to ‘Biden’ and then to ‘the Indian’ … [Read on]
All too predictably, the Islamists have struck back in France in the only way they know how: by cutting the throats of infidels, this time in a church in Nice.

Trump is too dangerous, too unreliable, too divisive. Biden would work better on the international stage, repair alliances – especially with Europe.

In a column entitled ‘Is ‘wokism’ creating an army of alt-Right teens?’ and headed by a photo of Miss Hitler beauty pageant contestant Alice Cutter next to a swastika, the Telegraph’s Celia Walden expresses alarm that young whites are turning to extreme white supremacist ideologies. She concedes that this reaction comes as no surprise in the current climate of PC … [Read on]
The Birmingham stabbings last night saw one man dead and eight others injured, two critically, including a woman who was repeatedly stabbed in the neck. But as we read the BBC report of the incident earlier today, our revulsion at the incident turns to incredulity and disgust at the police reaction. Chief Superintendent Steve Graham reassured us that ‘we are … [Read on]
