For decent, humanitarian, human-rights aware British patriots, this week has been both extremely affirming and incredibly painful. The affirmation is hard to express adequately, but it comes from the transcendent sense that we did the right thing this week. The publication of Lord Saville’s report of his inquiry into the events of Bloody Sunday is [...]

The former Chief Secretary to the Treasury, David Laws MP, has resigned his position, on the basis that he has broken the rules on MPs expenses. Mr Laws, a Liberal Democrat, claimed Parliamentary allowances for accommodation, which he paid to a person with whom he was having a relationship.  Prior to the relationship having been [...]

Rejoice, just rejoice.  As Gordon Brown made the single best speech of his life, resigning his commission, I doubt many in the country who care about these things had a dry eye.   I’m delighted to see the Labour Party in opposition, and I’m hoping that David Cameron will live up to the hopes and [...]

The Conservative Party has won the UK general election, winning more votes than any other party and more seats than any other party.  David Cameron has not won a majority, and as a result the incumbent Prime Minister has a right to try to form a government. He can do this by forming a formal [...]

Britain is broken, but it can be fixed.  Society began to decline when the state managed to convince the people that the state could solve their problems by intervention into their lives. Today, we’re told what to do by a Government which doesn’t know what to do with itself.  A cabal of social workers and [...]
