Articles:
- The week that proved we have forgotten every lesson of Easter - Two children are savagely mauled in a place where they ought to be safe, a man is dead after being unjustifiably roughed up by a masked robocop – just a typical week in modern Britain - 12th April 2009
- Our ruling elite are a class apart - It is easy to see why a cynical Tory leadership might have secretly wanted to destroy Britain's excellent grammar schools - 12th April 2009
- May the Lord protect you in the checkout queue - the law certainly won’t - I would like to dedicate this column to the memory of Kevin Tripp, struck down by a single merciless blow aimed at his head by a violent convicted criminal - 4th April 2009
- Condoms, pills ... but how about restraint? - What would you think of a circus where the tight-rope walker wore a stout safety harness hitched to the roof-beam? - 28th March 2009
- A common sense copper... at last. Well done Sir Paul for putting police back on the beat - es, you can turn the clock back. The stupid mistakes of the Sixties can be shown up for what they are, and people in positions of power can begin to reverse them - 21st March 2009
- What do we expect if we treat our own nation with such contempt? - The insulting anti-British demonstration in Luton is a sign that we are losing – and may already have lost – the most important battle for survival in our modern history - 14th March 2009
- Yeah, sweet ... the two sneering words a killer said to the police - If we can’t make criminals fear the law, then we will have to live in fear of criminals. It is that simple - 7th March 2009
- Just as loved as Ivan ... but the Commons didn't stop for them - The death of a child is a private matter. The death of every fellow creature diminishes us all, that of a child is especially hard to bear, as it is the death of a hope. We can all express and feel a decent sympathy with the Camerons on their loss, and we most certainly should - 28th February 2009
- Why invite the Pope to a country that revels in persecuting Christians? - Why did Gordon Brown’s anti-Christian Government ask the Pope here? Is it so that Benedict can give Britain the last rites? - 21st February 2009
- Facetious jests ... it's about all these drug 'experts' are good for - Does the Government secretly want to legalise drugs, in the hope that we’ll all be too stupefied to complain about their corruption and incompetence? - 14th February 2009
- Snow surrender - I saw no roaming polar bears or ravening timber wolves, just the final proof that our nation is now as soft as slush - If the Taliban really want to seize control of Britain (though why would they?), all they need to do is wait till the next time it snows in London - 7th February 2009
- We show tolerance to 'gays' and get tyranny in return - If I never again had to read or write a word about homosexuals, I would be very happy. I really don't want to know what other people do in their bedrooms. But these days they really, really want us all to know. And, more important, they insist that we approve. No longer are we allowed to keep our thoughts to ourselves, while being polite and kind - 31st January 2009
- What use is Ken against Mandy? They agree on everything - So much for the Tories, then. Surely, this must be the end. Finding that nobody takes seriously their ‘Shadow Cabinet’ of unknowns and teenagers, and unknown teenagers, they have delved into the cupboard of the yesterdays - 24th January 2009
- Poverty? It’s just a lie the Left uses to destroy the middle class - Why do New Labour hate the middle class? For hate it they definitely do, as they have shown this week with their plans to discriminate against that class in education and employment - 17th January 2009
- Proof at last... aliens in UFOs are far more intelligent than we are - If visitors from another galaxy really are going round destroying wind turbines, then it is the proof we have been waiting for that aliens are more intelligent than we are - 10th January 2009
- Will Israel never learn? Each bomb is a gift to its enemies - srael is wrong to attack Gaza. I say this as a consistent hard-line supporter of the Jewish state, who refuses to join in the fashionable condemnation of everything it does - 3rd January 2009
