Freedom of speech in Britain
As a Protestant Christian I protest for free speech and against control freakery. It was Protestant Christianity with its insistence on protest that gave freedom of speech to the British Isles. It is a lack of Christianity that it is taking it away and substituting political correctness in its place, for those who will bow down …
Children’s Hearings in Scotland
BBC Newsnight on 3/8/2018 drew attention to concerns that the Child Protection Service in Norway is taking too many children into care. The same concerns should be publicized in Scotland.

Trump in London
The mayor of London Sadiq Khan has allowed a giant 6-metre tall “Trump baby” balloon to fly 30 metres high over the river Thames near Parliament Square in London today, distancing himself from 'being an arbiter of taste'.

The politics of compromise

Identity politics and perceived racism
Identity politics and perceived racism are combining into an explosive mix. Racism should not exist because there is only one human race.
