Today's so-called 'anti-racists' remain blind to anti-Semitism. For these 'anti-racists' Jews are too rich and powerful to be a proper ethnic minority. An entire woke and preachy as hell organisation thought there was nothing wrong with using an overtly Jewish name for its grasping villain.

The Kate Clanchy pile-on shows no one is safe from the speech police. Speech policing is a modern attempt to create a woke version of Louis XIV’s courtly etiquette. Telling working-class people what words to use is nothing more than a demand for old-style deference.

Generation Z are angry about all the wrong things - CapX. The A level results are the obvious outcome for a mollycoddled generation. Pampered students rail against capitalism while living off their parents' capital.

As Europe struggles, the Brexit doom-mongers are being proven wrong. Unfortunately, there is a large element of our media that is simply unable to report “good news” and there is a consistent flow of “knocking copy” that talks down the UK economy.

Rise of the Zombies: how low rates and state intervention are dragging Europe down. Covid has created another pretext for billions of euros to be spent on zombies. Zombie companies are in limbo: unproductive, but kept on life-support by low interest rates.

Putin has weaponised Western wokery – and Amnesty has been fooled. By giving credence to a carefully orchestrated campaign, Amnesty is letting the Kremlin draw the veil of past intolerance across Navalny’s present heroism.

Revenge of the Normies – is it time to take back control from the cognitive elite? Goodhart is not alone in noting that overpraising and overpaying brains leads nowhere good.
