Ban the Tech Bros not the Boys and Girls
The Prime Minister has just announced a social media ban for all those under the age of 16. This is a blunt piece of legislation that misses the point and, to an extent, suggests that, like every other democratic leader, he is in hock to the social media giants. This is called regulatory capture. Young…

We don’t have a racism issue, we have a drugs, thugs and governance issue.
Let us start by saying that the attack on Mr Ogilvie was brutal and seemed to have been carried out by someone either on drugs or with a severe, undiagnosed mental health issue. The dignity that Mr Ogilvie’s family have shown is commendable in that they have not played the race or migration card and…

Tony Blair: Does anyone really care?
Larry, where is the champagne? Let me start with the current Prime Minister, Keir Starmer. Keir’s visionless win in 2024 was a consequence not of his great political foresight, a credible road map or a public policy agenda, but the electorate having had enough of the Tories. I agree that Corbyn tried to sell a…

United States of Trump
As I look across the pond and watch a Greek tragedy playing out in front of my eyes, a country that was the first to cast aside the yoke of British colonialism, I wonder about the future of this great experiment in democracy. The President is a narcissist at his core, and as a trainee…

Thanks but no Thanks!
As Keir hangs on by his fingernails to his Premiership, much like Nixon and Thatcher, the public has made it clear that he does not have the skill sets, let alone the charisma, to be Prime Minister. The May 7th elections showed that the Prime Minister is catastrophically unpopular, from John o’ Groats to Land’s…

Where are you, Keir? I’m Behind David’s Shield
The stabbing of two British Jews is clearly a hate crime, and the perpetrator, Essa Suleiman, must be held to account under the law and condemned by any right-thinking citizen. The BBC has covered this tragedy extensively and today reported on the Prime Minister’s speech and lecture on anti-Semitism to a broad spectrum of organisations…

STAY CLEAR OF KEIR
Labour MPs have capitulated to Starmer and the Labour whips and voted against having an inquiry into whether the Prime Minister misled Parliament over Mandelson’s appointment as US Ambassador. This shows both Starmer’s weakness, lack of integrity and a man desperate to hold on to power when in fact, he does not have any.On the…

Redefining Human Flourishing.
n 1934, Simon Kuznets created the term Gross Domestic Product as a snapshot of a country’s prosperity, economic health, and output. His theory hypothesised that as the economy grows, inequality increases until a point where future growth reduces inequality. The Bank of England defines it as the total monetary value of all goods and services…

Is this the new symbol for oppression and ethnic cleansing?
We as a species recognise the horrors of the Holocaust and the unjustifiable and brutal attack which resulted in the killing of 1200 Israeli people on October 7th, 2023. I grew up in a family where my father agreed with the setup of the Jewish state of Israel but questioned Israel’s ethnic cleansing in what…

TRiUMPhant?
Trump, his acolytes, CNN, BBC and the international press are jubilant about the rescue of the two pilots shot down by an obliterated Iranian air defence capability. This is the air defence capacity that was obliterated a week earlier, or at least that is what the Israeli’s and Hegseth have told us. However, I am…
