Do not thoughtlessly denigrate the society or the culture you have inherited. It is your redemption. The Youth will – and must – always challenge the Establishment. It is necessary to keep The Establishment effective and efficient. The Youth challenge The Establishment as part of the process of asserting their own independence and identity. This process should forge new ideas in the political landscape which will positively effect the trajectory of a society. Yet the youth don’t always know better. They are idealists. They are often possessed by ideologies that are proven to be corrosive to a civilisation. That is why the Establishment endures. It is the result of competing political ideas that have endured the test of time. The Establishment may be crusty, old and safe – but it works.  Like the human body, the Establishment may not be perfect – but it is the evolutionary solution for a organism to prosper. Simply put: The Establishment works for the time being. When someone comes ...

  Until all lives matter, no lives matter. We all live in an overly politically-correct world. Insisting that black lives are more vulnerable than the other lives is untrue and  divisive . UK and USA data doesn’t support any claim that  Black Lives are less important or in greater danger . In fact, one can only find  evidence to the contrary . Black Lives Matter are most active in UK and USA. These countries have massive social security programmes. Most immigrants have come to expect support from Government. It benefits them to claim extraordinary levels of ‘fear, anxiety and distress’ because it qualifies them for more of the mothering Government’s resources. An accusation of ‘racism’ is the trump card in this game of extortion. The louder Black Lives Matter protestors screech about ‘systemic racism’, the more the State accedes to their demands. The noisiest mouths get fed first. This is incentivising interlopers and indigents to act like young Cuckoos. The foundati...

Black or White? The world is suddenly ablaze with accusations of racism. The political discourse has become overwhelmingly binary. This can only be bad. The political discourse at the moment has become binary. This is pernicious and should be undone as quickly as possible. Forcing the political discourse to extremism is no longer politics. It is fascism. Politics is the art of diplomacy. Politics explores the shades of grey and seeks compromise. Compromise means both sides lose as the price of progress. Living in the most peaceful, prosperous period in recorded history is the result. It is worth securing for future generations. History shows us that intolerance in discourse is the death of civility and debate. It is the reserve of dull bullies not suited to lead or determine the future of society. We need our brightest minds at the helm, not the brutes. Those who seek to shut down Freedom of Speech reveal themselves as unable to discuss things reasonably. This is poisonous to peace, fr...

As we find ourselves facing possible self extinction and existential angst is at it’s highest ever, I can’t help but notice all the eco-warriors and extinction rebels are strangely silent at a time when their voices could have the most powerful arguments. Why is that? I wonder. Fear of a plank planet. One would expect that those most vocal about the human impact on the environment during times when things are safe and predictable would at least be saying: “Ahah! …told you so!” But for the moment the green bloc seem to have disappeared into the ether. Around the world the lack of industry, commuting and consumption is clearing the air. It’s a perfect vindication for the call for less consumption, commerce and industry. Yet the greeny beanies seem to be in hiding. Not a word from Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund or even the troops that routinely disrupt traffic and fill social media with their narratives and rhetoric. But there is silence. Utter, deafening silence. I wonder if all this ho...
