In March of this year, I made a number of predictions for election year, despite conceding it was probably unwise to do so. However, rather than listen to my own advice I’m going to make some more for 2024 after reviewing how close I came in 2023. Labour’s
Politicians, boosted by their enhanced narcissism, hubris, and sociopathy never seem to realise when their mouths are writing cheques that no one could possibly bank. Chloe Swarbrick is just another of this ilk making lofty and unattainable promises. But don’t you worry, we will be keeping the receipts, because

A government supported artist, Robert Heinlein wrote, is an incompetent whore. He might have added, an abusive one. Of course, there are some weirdos who pay a great deal of money to be abused by whores, but for most people, handing over money to beggars only to be returned a
When White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, made her first appearance in the job, she announced her qualifications. Respectively, her race, her gender, and her sexual preferences. That was it. The ability to string together a comprehensible sentence in English wasn’t one of the qualifications she touted. And well
When reading police reports in the media, it’s almost always most instructive to pay attention to what they don’t say, rather than what they do. Like most mendacious government bureaucracies, police media units are dab hands at obfuscation and misdirection. For instance, when reporting a suspect still at
The explosion of naked anti-Semitism on the mainstream left might seem sudden and shocking, but it shouldn’t be. More or less open Jew-hating has been simmering on the left for years. As the left has more and more cosied up to Islam, itself endemically anti-Semitic*, it’s only become

Once upon a time, aspirants to political office or public service positions were subject to “pink-listing”, if it was suspected that there was a hint of lavender in the air. It was reasoned that the shame of being publicly exposed as homosexual left people in critical positions at unique risk
As the scandal over the UNRWA and its operations as little more than a front office for Hamas grows, more and more disturbing revelations are emerging. This is very, very far from a supposed “few bad apples”. It’d be harder to find a “good apple” — if not next to
Does anyone still believe “fact-checkers”, any more? Let me rephrase that… does anyone apart from the diminishing clique of numpties who still read mainstream media still believe “fact-checkers”, any more?
