Kathleen Stock: Common Sense in the Dock
In a rare victory for freedom of speech, it is gratifying that the Oxford Union stood by its guns and allowed the address to go ahead.

“Maybe it is not too late to wake up and save the EU economy from another unbearable burden with the worst possible timing.” —Enikő Győri

Malta’s pro-life movement is battling in defence of the youngest and most vulnerable members of their society, and it is an inspiring thing to see.

After 13 years of Tory governments pledging to cut immigration while presiding over record numbers, Rishi Sunak has expressed his “clear view” that entrance into Britain “must be controlled.”

The manifestly anti-democratic nature of such a decision, and the exclusion of tens of millions of European citizens who would thus be deprived of their country’s six-month presidency, is not even raised in the Meijers Committee report.

At a recent panel, co-sponsored by The European Conservative, speakers noted that to counteract Brussels’ progressive dogma, Europeans must unite around Christianity as a shared source of moral understanding and cultural heritage.

Today, Donald Trump is far ahead in the opinion polls for the 2024 Republican presidential candidate. But Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, and others will make sure that there is no such thing as an inevitable frontrunner.

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.

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

After being accused of taking too many private flights, Michel wants to buy carbon credits to fly even more. Because Europeans care more about pollution than their taxes being spent unnecessarily, right?
For the last seventy years, agricultural policy in Europe and elsewhere has been driving efficiency and increased production, much to the detriment of societal and environmental health. But not all the blame rests on the shoulders of the technocrats. They weren’t the ones who started the revolution that made Spanish farmer Artero cry.
Truss was ridiculed for wearing furs in Moscow during a thaw. It’s an apt metaphor for her—no matter the weather, she’ll wear furs to Moscow because Thatcher did, and no matter the economic forecast, she’ll cut taxes because Thatcher did.
The Swedish government is aiming to put a blanket ban in place where there will be no new schools of any faith. This restriction is reminiscent of the educational oppression that Christians face in Cuba, Libya, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
Liz Truss should be able to build up enough support from MPs to carry her, beyond Mordaunt, into second place.
At every turn the British people vote for parties and provisions which purport to stand in their interests. But no referenda or election halts the displacement and radical deconstruction of our culture.
Trailing Rishi Sunak at the moment are Penny Mordaunt (82 votes), Liz Truss (71), and Kemi Badenoch (58).
As lovely as it is to see far-flung hamlets of stone houses reinhabited, it is also sometimes difficult to find in their tenuous revival a genuine re-founding of the traditional Europe of which they were originally a part.
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.
We are alarmed by the interference into the domestic politics of our democratic ally, as well as the anti-democratic excesses of EU politicians who continue to divide our society and question fundamental rights and freedoms.
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.
Mental confusion reigns in the minds of Anglican clergy. Language precautions and a deep-seated concern about crossing the boundaries of political correctness clearly distort common sense.
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.
