Patriotism Part 28

A recent YouGov survey reveals the scale that patriotism is waning in Britain. British people may become more patriotic as they grow older, but 18-24 year-olds are so much less as likely than over-60s to be ‘very’ patriotic (15% compared to 49%) that even if a significant proportion of the younger generation turn proud in… Continue reading Patriotism Part 28

Patriotism Part 27

Britain may briefly have felt patriotic in 2012, when Jubilee parties and the London Olympics stirred a dormant pride, but even in the past decade there’s been a significant drop in patriotism, and when YouGov tested the nation on the ‘Life in the UK’ exam that all aspiring immigrants must pass to gain citizenship, 51%… Continue reading Patriotism Part 27

Tommy Robinson Part 19

Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arrives at Westminster Magistrates Court, London, where he and Kevin Carroll, also a former EDL leader, are to go on trial for allegedly trying to defy a ban on marching to the scene of the murder of soldier Lee Rigby via a major mosque.

One of the victims, a woman in her 70s,… Continue reading Tommy Robinson Part 19

Debunking White Privilege Part 14

Jordan Peterson – I cannot be the only person who feels both angry and deeply offended by the general slur of racism and white privilege cast against my country and my fellow men; angry that this slur is being so casually endorsed without contest or analysis, especially on the broadcast media, and even in the formerly… Continue reading Debunking White Privilege Part 14

Debunking White Privilege Part 13

"I think it would be wise to establish a legal-defense fund for my kids while they're still young."

“White privilege” is a term often invoked as a causal explanation for the success of whites relative to other groups. But the problem with white privilege isn’t its assumptions about racial discrimination, but its causal disposition. White privilege suffers from a bad case of mono-causality, or “one-thingism” as Jonah Goldberg puts it. https://vk.com/video503532632_456240883 [user-submitted-posts]

Debunking White Privilege Part 12

David Goodhart and his eminently fair thesis on ‘Facts vs feelings’, John McWhorter’s counter-analysis of anti-racism, ‘our new flawed religion’, other black conservative opinion the mainstream media here ignore and Heather Mac Donald’s debunking of the US police discrimination myth might not exist for the all the interest the MSM has shown in these counter-factuals to the dominating perceived… Continue reading Debunking White Privilege Part 12

Patriotism Part 26

The Commonwealth gets very little political attention – it was deliberately ignored by New Labour, yet it has more shared history and values than an artificial institution such as the EU. Every Brit trusts a New Zealander or Canadian or South African. When I edited Reader’s Digest, I uncovered a wealth of untapped patriotism among… Continue reading Patriotism Part 26
