2025: UK Messages Unwelcoming Non-Whites
It appeared that 2024 would be the year of anti-migrant hatred in the UK after the summer riots: unbridled misinformation that the Wales-born Southport killer arrived on a small boat, checkpoints where drivers were assessed on their skin colour, and mobs endeavouring to set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers. But while the country evaded a recurrence of anti-migrant street brutality in 2025, the message that non-whiteContinue reading “2025: UK Messages Unwelcoming Non-Whites”

Londoners Over 60: Scrap Free Travel?
Travel passes for the over-60s are still in abundance. Should it be, even for the rich? Why not? We don’t get much for free while we’re here on Earth, but I’m not sure if it should be given to everyone. But those who are on a low income should be allowed a free pass. TheContinue reading “Londoners Over 60: Scrap Free Travel?”
Starmer Prepares To Rip Up Brexit
Sir Keir Starmer said he is prepared to align the UK even more closely with the EU, including the single market, if it is in the UK’s ‘national interest’.

‘Reframing history’: Imperial War Museum
The Imperial War Museum has been accused of ‘reframing history’ to give it ‘woke appeal’ in a new tour featuring trans people in battle.

Keir Starmer Considers Social Media Ban For Teens
Sir Keir Starmer is weighing up an Australian-style social media embargo for children aged under 16. The Labour Prime Minister formerly said he was ‘personally’ against the ban for teenagers but is understood to be ‘closely monitoring’ the policy. The world-first law was introduced on December 10 by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and sees under-16s banned from Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat,Continue reading “Keir Starmer Considers Social Media Ban For Teens”

Dozens of wild geese have been killed for the Christmas dinner table in a spate of shocking attacks, it is believed.
