Gateway to Hell

At the root of it all, you’ve allowed yourself to be persuaded down the rabbit hole marked ‘Gateway to Fascism’. There’s no easy way to say this and it’s no real surprise, but we’re way past the ‘sleepwalking’ stage and we’re now galloping towards fascism. The horrors of arms to Israel, deportations, the rise of […]

School Toilet Bullies For Women Scotland.

By Josie Hervey According to “For Women” Scotland, schools “face a Sandie Peggie-style legal dispute” over single-sex spaces. If you wanted proof of their bad faith, look no further. Our children – all of them – need to be safe in schools. Pretending that only people assumed to have a penis can be guilty of […]

Tears, Fears and Electioneers…

by Damien Donnelly While I’m well used to elections being preceded by a period of desperate on-the-hoof policy, from all sides, this coming UK general election seems especially to have thrown into stark relief how low we have sunk as a country.
