Jurassic World. While lumpen folk concern themselves with trivial questions like “Is it any good?”, Britain’s premier mediator of correct thinking – the Guardian – has today asked the only question that really matters: “Is it sexist?”

Even if you don’t happen to believe that Bilderberg is the sinister organisation that really rules the world, what cannot be denied is that its secretive meetings do to tend to attract some pretty high-level insect overlords.  Here’s the participants

Here are two stories which show how badly we are losing the war against green fundamentalism: The first, courtesy of Christopher Booker, concerns the British government’s attempts to rush through a truly insane plan for a £1 billion tidal lagoon

There’s a long article in the grown-up Australian magazine Quadrant which I wouldn’t expect columnist Jonathan Chait to be capable of finishing, let alone comprehending.

Good news: the Sahara desert is getting greener because of “climate change.” Climate change has achieved what Bob Geldof and Live Aid failed to do by ending the drought in the Sahel region of Africa that killed more than 100,000

I hope you’re as disgusted as I am by the Caffè Nero chain’s craven capitulation to the animal rights activists who have successfully demanded it no longer serve milk which comes from dairy farms in areas affected by the badger cull.

Rod Liddle – the thinking man’s Ricky Gervais – has been doing his Dad Dance routine again. You know the one. It’s where he shows how down-with-the-kids and still-in-touch-with-his-radical-leftist-working-class-roots he is by telling you how utterly he loathes foxhunting and

As the Jesuits almost said: “Give a child until he is seven and I will show you the fully indocrinated, yogurt-weaving, polar-bear hugging eco loon.” Such, at any rate, has been the message at one of the panel discussions at

My new favourite journalist is a guy called Max Benwell. Here’s how he begins his latest awesomely shareable piece for the Independent headlined As a white man, I’m surprised more women aren’t tweeting the hashtag #KillAllWhiteMen Men – be honest.

If I play my Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy too loud and the government hasn’t  charged me for the $1000 worth of lost sleep my neighbours claim it has cost them, does that mean the government has given me

The University of Western Australia has caved in to green activists and cancelled a planned $4 million Consensus Centre because of its associations with Skeptical Environmentalist author Bjorn Lomborg. Blond, gay, impeccably left wing and a former member of Greenpeace,

So the new government’s battle lines are drawn – between the True Tories and the Continuation Cameron squishes. And already the Continuation Cameron squish camp has fired its first salvo, in the form of this outrageous provocation, on the subject

Just a quick one: was anyone else as surprised and delighted as I was by Brian May’s performance on BBC Question Time last night? I’ve been quite rude about him in the past. Yes, that distinctively shimmery, echoey, almost Venusian

Go on, admit it: you were all hoping that Prince Charles’s “black spider memos” were going to show him in the worst light possible: the spoilt, petulant prince with his biofuel-powered Aston Martin, his toothpaste valet and his chunky-knit coterie

The BBC’s Science Editor David Shukman recently got back from an expedition to the high Arctic. Amazingly, despite having gone all that way, he seems completely to have missed the big story: that contrary to the doomsday predictions we’ve been

As an occasional shooting and foxhunting man –  see my forthcoming book Mister Delingpole’s Sporting Tour – I have been filled with envy on reading the RSPB’s spectacular game book as revealed by its conservation director Martin Happer. (H/T @shotfox)

What a fussy lot some of you are. Last week, the left in England experienced one of its most stunning reverses since Margaret Thatcher crushed the Miners’ Strike. We saw the defenestration of George Galloway, Ed Davey, Vince Cable, Ed

This Game-of-Thrones election has been marred by a terrible injustice and we all know exactly what it is: the member for South Thanet right now should be UKIP leader Nigel Farage and the fact that he’s not is a totally

Ed Balls Losing His Seat Those of us on the right have waited nigh-on twenty years for our own “Portillo Moment” and here at last it was. Payback too, of course, for all the damage Balls inflicted on the UK

We don’t know the result yet except actually we do: a total dog’s breakfast of an epic cock up of a disaster for pretty much everyone. The people I feel especially sorry for are those of us on the right.

 Here is a quick reference guide to the political types voting in the general election tomorrow. LABOUR You are: a millionaire thespian/stand-up comic/generic luvvie; a social worker; an NHS administrator; a Quangocrat; a civil servant; an Islamist entryist; a school teacher;

Yesterday I gave you my thoughts on the Conservatives. Today it’s UKIP’s turn. The reasons for not wanting to vote UKIP seem to me fairly obvious. Either you’re a stupid lefty or you’re in a Tory/Labour marginal and you only

Who are you going to vote for on Thursday? For me, it’s a real toughie. My local Conservative candidate Chris Heaton Harris is both a personal friend and exactly the kind of principled and sound candidate I’d like to see

Five years ago today the Guardian was celebrating one of the most glorious moments in left-wing history since the erection of the Berlin Wall. I refer, of course, to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill – a tragedy which the Guardian

I’m proud to announce that I have won a major art competition. Oh all right. (Modesty, James. Modesty!). I am one of several climate change sceptics to have been celebrated and immortalised in an exciting new, prizewinning art installation at

VATICAN CITY: “Religion and science are united on the need for action on climate,” declared UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon at a papal climate summit in the Vatican this morning. This statement is at best moot, at worst a risible and

VATICAN CITY – Papal heavies shut down an awkward question at a Vatican press conference today when a journalist asked UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon his views on climate sceptics. Marc Morano, covering the Vatican climate conference for Climate Depot, asked

ROME, Italy  – Contrary to what a worryingly large proportion of His churches believe, God isn’t a climate charge alarmist. If you’re in any doubt, I’d recommend you read this superbly erudite open letter to Pope Francis which has been

ROME, Italy –  Should the Pope stick to God or is it about time he embraced the fashionable cause of Gaia-worship? This is going to be the big question in Rome over the next couple of days as two rival

Yesterday evening UKIP leader Nigel Farage endured quite possibly the most brutal and malign encounter of his entire political career: an interview with a top BBC man so grotesquely unjust, so nakedly biased that I’m surprised Farage didn’t walk out

This is Earth Day’s 45th anniversary and it’s also – according to Earth Day Network’s somewhat optimistic website – “the year in which world leaders finally pass a binding climate treaty” and “the year in which citizens and organizations divest

Suppose you were a right-thinking BBC journalist, understandably anxious to foment the approved Labour narrative that the Conservatives are the party of rich, out-of-touch toffs, and you were presented with a rare opportunity to interview David Cameron. Which telling question

The BBC’s Daily Politics has just staged a party political debate on energy and climate change. It was every bit as awful as you would have expected: four politicians (Labour; Conservative; Green; Lib Dems) spouting pure, unadulterated drivel; one talking

Katie Hopkins is in trouble again. Instead of welcoming boatloads of Libyan immigrants into Europe with open arms, she argues in her latest Sun column, we should be repelling them with gunboats and sending them back home. It begins: NO,

Comedian Ricky Gervais has decided that because we liked The Office, quite enjoyed a couple of sketches in Extras (the David Bowie one and the Lenny Henry one) and weren’t all driven to suicide by Night At The Museum, we

The other day a friend who works for a tiny arts charity employing two people in an office the size of a shoebox applied for a grant from the Arts Council, the taxpayer funded quango whose job it is to
