Conspicuous displays of moral vanity are everywhere. Just ask Zita Holbourne. She was one of the protesters who ambushed Nigel Farage and his family when they dropped by their local last Sunday for a meal. Her group crashed the George
Toxic human waste could provide a new source of recoverable gold worth hundreds of millions of dollars, according to US scientists. Researchers discovered microscopic nuggets of gold, silver and platinum after examining human solid waste using an electron scanner at
Queen Mary University knows how to put the ‘fresh’ into freshers. As part of a welcome to new Drama students, their lecturer screened a graphic video of her (ahem) vagina, an act described by the show’s creator Lauren Barri-Holstein as
Did you hear the one about Nigel Farage? He walked into his local with the family for a quiet lunch. It didn’t end well. The UKIP leader was chased out into the street and pursued by loud-mouthed, offensive, intolerant and
In remarkable triumph of medieval superstition over natural curiosity, a headmaster banned pupils from watching the solar eclipse, all in the name of pseudo multicultural piety. According to ITV News, students at North Primary School in Southall were not allowed
He has a face like a dropped pie, infuriates the righteous political left, is followed by millions of people around the world and remains a constant cause of upset and rebuke at the BBC: what’s not to like about Jeremy
Regard the utter nihilism of Islamic terrorism. Upwards of 21 people have been killed after a shooting attack Wednesday at a Tunisian museum with two gunmen taking hostages before they were shot dead. The number includes 17 tourists who were
Yes! It’s Budget day. Surely you can feel the love. George Osborne has delivered the final fiscal prescription of the coalition government and in doing so set the country to rights before the general election. Perhaps. Maybe. Possibly. You see,
It’s OK. The police watchdog has got this. Rest assured every lead will be followed, names will be named and lessons well and truly learned. So there. Feeling better now? No, me neither. Alleged corruption in the Metropolitan Police, including
Taking an instant dislike to Tony Blair is a good rule of life. It saves time. A generation of British voters would agree and now it seems plenty of international diplomats and UN representatives think it’s a good idea too.
Well that makes it alright then. No blame equals no shame. Greater Manchester Police examined the conduct of 13 nameless (I’ll get back to that) officers in relation to their inability to properly investigate child sex abuse allegations in Rochdale
Can’t fault the logic but the outcome is entirely flawed. On the basis that the EU has a problem being taken “entirely seriously”, Jean-Claude Juncker’s answer is simple. Not to reform the organisation but instead give it military muscle via
The UN has never met a problem it couldn’t tackle without calling for a new tax. Over-dependence on fossil fuel? There’s a tax for that. Inequitable distribution of global wealth? There’s a tax for that. Climbing obesity rates due to
It’s time to embrace the Australian model. Boris Johnson is a known fan, for a start. So is Nigel Farage. More and more people see it as fair, desirable and hugely attractive in the face of possible competing alternatives. Of
Gate. Horse. Bolted. So Prime Minister David Cameron hosts a self-described ‘crisis summit’ at Downing Street in the wake of the horrific revelations of child sex abuse in Rotherham, Oxford, Rochdale, Telford, Derby and …and… insert place names here of
Yes, well, now you’ve gone and done it, ISIS. For the past three years your goons have rampaged through Syria and Iraq, slaughtering, raping, torturing, crucifying and enslaving anyone standing in the way of your theocratic fascism. All the time
The three formidable bastions of the caring, sharing political left can be easily defined. Think the NHS, local government and the BBC. All provide nice little earners for those who persuade themselves that their political beliefs somehow equip them for
Your fault. The police’s fault. Social media’s fault. Religion’s fault. Nobody’s fault. Take your pick. Seems there’s no shortage of blame to go around – or not – in the case of the three British schoolgirls believed to have fled
Zvika Klein is an Israeli journalist who conducted a field experiment. It involved being filmed for 10 hours as he silently walked the streets of Paris. You may be one of the 4.2 million people who viewed it. The video
Well, he’s guilty then, isn’t he. Got him bang to rights. You know, Nigel Farage. The one and the same UKIP leader photographed outside a pub with the young man filmed in the Paris Metro as a bunch of Chelsea
Slow news day, much? From out of nowhere Tuesday we learned that teams of aspiring junior astronauts are competing to make a one-way trip to colonise Mars. That’s right. They’re journeying around 140 million miles into space for a visit
These are trying days for Christians and Jews. Around the world followers of these two great faiths are being slaughtered in the most gruesome fashion. So who will speak for the dead and stand up for their right to worship
Well, duh. Lord Fink pursues ordinary tax avoidance. It is his right as long as he remains within the law. Who are we to doubt his word that he does anything but without evidentiary proof to the contrary? Tax avoidance
Another day, another disaster, yet they still come. By “they” I mean the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants sailing across the Mediterranean for Europe. Not all of them make it. Too many drown in the attempt. It doesn’t have
Have a look around. Go on. See if you can recognise the country you live in. Take a quick shufti at the all welcome, multi-culti, hail-fellow-well-met, step right in, pull up a pew and make yourself at home England you
