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…

Gaza: Where’s that?
The first phase of the so-called Trump peace plan came into effect on October 10, 2025. This ceasefire included the return of all hostages by Hamas, dead or alive, and the withdrawal of the IDF to within a yellow buffer line. Hamas have delivered on their part of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF have retreated…

On the Brink of Collapse, What’s Next?
Firstly, let me start by saying that our Prime Minister has assessed that the attack by the Israeli Reich and the US on Iran is illegal under international law, this is over and above the fact that Trump did not get Congressional approval. It is now clear that Starmer has capitulated and will allow the…

Ménage à trois: in the Pam of your Hand
US Attorney General Pam Bondi’s attendance at the Judiciary committee was performative politics of the worst kind, with only one goal to please her political pimp, President Donald Trump. She at the hearing deflected, obfuscated, was ignorant and called a democrat on the committee, an anti-Semite, a woman whose grandfather died in a Nazi death…

It’s clear, Keir: Back to the day job
If the current cohort of Labour MPs have not realised that the current leader of their party is leading them to political oblivion, you have less foresight than an ostrich with its head in the sand. Starmer’s close advisors, such as McSweeney, Ingham, and Driver, are politically inept but seem to have the ability to…
