Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A young British woman, raised in the North of England, escaped her abusive Muslim father and converted to Christianity, a fact that saw her father lead an axe wielding mob clamoring for her death. She wrote a book about her experience. When the Times interviewer asked why she didn’t seek
Continue readingThe Brits turned Geert Wilders back at the border for daring to try to enter the country to show an anti-Islamic film. Wilders isn’t too pure himself, since he advocates muzzling Islam, which just goes to show that Europeans fundamentally fail to understand free speech. (England once understood it, but
Continue readingRowan Laxton is Middle East expert and a high ranking official in Britain’s Foreign Office. He is also a hard-core anti-Semite with limited impulse control (two things that seem to go together, by the way): A high-ranking diplomat at the Foreign Office has been arrested after allegations that he launched
Continue readingThe quest for ever greater bureaucratic efficiency, especially in a Europe without borders, means that Britain’s local Big Brother database is probably going to be released to the whole of Europe: Britons could find themselves forced to prove they are innocent of crimes abroad after the Government agreed to EU-wide
Continue readingAgain, Britain reminds us of the possible consequences of allowing the government to control health care. (See here and here.) As always, what amazes me about the Left is it’s never ending optimism about the government. Its members will cheerfully concede that the government pretty much bungles most of the
Continue readingOver at FrontPage Magazine, you can read an interview with Martin Durkin, describing Britain’s staggering social decline during its long years as a welfare state. It was a slow decline at first. When I lived there in the early 1980s, it still wasn’t clear that it was hovering on the
Continue readingThe hell with democracy. In post-Blairite England, the Labour government is now demanding that gays be represented in parliament in numbers proportionate to their numbers amongst the general public: Controversial Government backed plans for a massive increase in the number of gay MPs are being opposed by Commons Speaker Michael
Continue readingI’ve long seen Britain as a bellweather for progressive politics. Everything the Left wants in America, has already happened in Britain — and with truly disastrous results. For a pithy summary of Britain’s horrible decline, don’t miss Melanie Phillips’ essay describing the ways in which Barack Obama reminds her of
Continue readingThe British papers are reporting that, if Obama becomes President, Oprah will become the Ambassador to Britain. As is frequently becoming the case in today’s political climate, words fail me. I guess I’ll add only that it makes sense for the most narcissistic President in the history of the United

I’m feeling Biblical after having read a story about another one of the “miracles” of universal healthcare, as in effect
Continue readingIt was only yesterday that the creepy video emerged from Hollywood showing kids singing a song of worship to the golden world that will emerge when Obama ascends to the White House. In connection with that video, I noted that the indoctrination of children reminded me very strongly of the

Continue readingEngland has become the ultimate Nanny state, and it’s a reminder of what’s to come if the Democrats get total control over American government. The latest insane Nanny state story out of Britain is from a public pool that is refusing to allow a man to wear his goggles: He’s

It refuses to allow Gurkha veterans — you know, the ones who fought and were willing to die for England — into the
