King Sargon of Akkaad flourished in Sumeria between 2234 and 2279 BC. During his reign, he conquered Mesopotamia, parts of Syria, Anatolia and ‘Elam’, modern-day Western Iran. As well as being a considerable soldier and politician, he was a skilled polemicist and employed the arts of classical debate to silence his detractors. That such a civilised king could have lived … [Read on]
Mrs Merkel sacked Dominic Raab three days after her newly appointed Minister for Brexit announced we would not pay £39 billion to the EU if they tried to stage an economic shoot out with Britain at the Brussels corral at midnight on the 29th of March next year. Mrs May probably tried to save him, but orders from Berlin are orders, as the … [Read on]
At a press conference this lunchtime (20th July) Michel Barnier welcomed the receipt by the EU commission of the British White paper on Brexit.

The following ‘Dictionary of Dishonest Left Wing Words’ (below) is a list of words and phrases used by the left to lend bogus authority to their evidence free theories. Ethnicities.
