Immigration: Britain Must Call Time on Tory Trickery

If the electorate had not already done so, it must now accept the reality: the Conservative Party is the party of uncontrolled immigration and it has lied to us, of that there can be no doubt.

EU as Arbiter of Ideological Elegance?

The EU’s messianic reflex is all the more worrying considering that Brussels recently acquired a formidable weapon with imprecise contours: financial conditionality.

Mass Migration As Ideological Fetish

“We cannot establish numbers [of immigrants to be received], as this will depend on the needs of Spain’s labour market,” said the Spanish PM.

Green Sleaze in Germany

In Europe, the eco-‘woke’ movement is nowhere as strong as it is in Berlin. But after a nepotism scandal was exposed, Germany’s Greens have gone on the defense.

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Let us call a spade a spade: ending the tax treaty with Hungary is an act of punishment by Washington. If a country refuses to play by their rules, the U.S. administration will exclude, sanction, banish, and publicly flog the incalcitrant nation.

Remember, you are not trying to establish an environment of tolerance and mutual-understanding. Like Isabella and Ferdinand, you are trying to recover the territory. Treat the new Left like people who hate you, because they do.

From Universalism to Racialism: Macron’s Most Recent U-Turn on Education

By sacking one of his best generals and replacing him with a ‘woke chic’ scholar when the country is already suffering from racial tensions, Macron gives the unsettling impression that France’s decadence is a settled issue.

Why the West Refuses to Control its Borders

Political theory has been reduced to a Manichean choice: either universalist human rights liberalism, shorn of any particular attachments (except during the Olympics) or expansionary, genocidal, blood and soil nationalism.
