It is an all too regular event for the police to take a bashing for something they've done or haven't done,  often justified but sometimes not. An example of the latter is repeated criticism of London's finest for the preponderance of black youths targeted in Stop and Search exercises. The  facts are that a high  percentage of murder victims in…

If it wasn't so condemnatory, BBC Radio Four's news output (see ***)  after the PM announced a  well trailed hike in National Insurance with little adverse comment or resistance from his back benchers, would be funny. Day after day, Corporation  journalists - particularly on the Today programme -  had been warning of all out civil war between Boris Johnson and…

Of all the guff and nonsense we were bombarded with by the media over the European Football Cup - I'd swear that BBC Radio 4 had more on it than they did on their racist pro-black  propaganda and fawning LBGT support combined - there was one, single comment that shone like a beacon of common sense. Much of the nation…

Ursula Von der Leyen, President of  the  European Commission, needs a lesson in geography, as the snappy little fellow who currently runs France needs one in  history. Where the fragrant Ursula - 62, blonde, blue eyed  and slim and just about the cutest  Krout pensioner going - is concerned she needs to stop differentiating between good old Blighty and Europe,…

Abraham Lincoln said you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. Well, you can. Ask anyone for their opinion on the numbers of asylum seekers crossing The Channel to find sanctuary in the UK and…

On the Farming Today programme on BBC Radio 4, at just after 5.45am on Friday the 21st of August,  there was an item on Agricultural  Law featuring a partner with a  firm of solicitors which employs only men. It sparked off a verbal clash between the programme's female journalist conducting the interview and the lawyer confirming that such was his…

Whatever else they are, the French asylum seekers throwing themselves on the mercy of the British authorities in the English Channel are not our responsibility. French? Yes. Or Greek. Or Italian. Or any one of the many countries they have crossed in order to get here having spurned the sanctuary they found there. Indeed, many if not most are not…

There are two areas of total  irresponsibility in connection with the  Dominic Cummings affair and neither area is occupied by Cummings himself. The first and foremost inexcusable fault lies at the door of the Prime Minister. That is his title. The very word "prime" means that he is the leader, the man in charge.  Dominic Cummings is simply an employee As…

All the morons in the world do not live in America as we have been led to believe. This misconception came about when squillions  of them voted in The Donald as President. Like voted  for like and they voted for someone who, on a scale of 1 to whatever you like, was streets ahead of the rest of them in…

I wonder how many feminists and their supporters have ever seen what was one of the UK's  most watched TV series titled "The last of the Summer wine". It  is about the innocent shenanigans of  a bunch of  middle aged Yorkshire men refusing to get old gracefully and indulging in all sorts of daft but harmless antics. What is extraordinary…
