UK Politics
The Scottish National Party
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com By late last year support for the Scottish National Party’s independence movement was polling at 50%, I suspect reflecting Brexit fatigue. But with the economic depression ahead, I suspect the SNP support will dwindle. Such crises invariably see a conservative voter response with no

Stay Home and Keep It in Your Pants
It’s a hallmark of the nomenklaturas and authoritarian elites that they conduct themselves with autocratic disregard for the odious rules they impose on the hoi polloi. No matter whether it’s early mediaeval popes shagging anything that moved, Communist elites living in imperial splendour while millions starve, or finger-
China Adds Insult to Pandemic Injury
As we’ve reported at The BFD, even while China was still lying to the world about the virus outbreak in Wuhan – thus, inadvertently or not, allowing the virus to spread unchecked around the globe – Chinese companies were quietly pillaging soon-to-be-desperately-needed medical supplies.

Six Questions for Neil Ferguson
UK television and radio media are just as left-wing as they are in New Zealand. The Spectator highlights two interviews, each carried out very differently, on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. Health Secretary Matt Hancock, of the Conservative party, got a roasting – as one would expect. The National

As Britain descends into a dystopian hell-hole not easily distinguishable from Christopher Priest’s bleak 1972 novel, Fugue for a Darkening Island (which beat the more famous Camp of the Saints by a year), every now and then there’s one step forward for every ten goose-steps backwards.
