For generations, governments have taxed almost everything that makes the country more prosperous. They tax people for working. They tax businesses for employing them. They tax trade, investment, construction, improvements, savings and inheritance. Then, when the economy struggles under the weight of all this taxation, they propose another tax. Increasingly, the political class is looking towards the family home as its next dependable source of revenue. Let us put that into plain English: They are coming after your home—not necessarily to take away your keys, but to turn the continued ownership of your home into a permanent compulsory tax liability. That is not tax reform. It is tax accumulation. The property-tax trap There is a growing fashion for replacing council tax, stamp duty or other charges with a supposedly more rational tax based on property or land values. Some proposals may remove one existing tax, but many simply place a new annual charge alongside all the taxes people alre...

For any straight single white man in the UK, you are the most discriminated against class of people. Yes. Single White Men are like that relatively small group of black slaves of 2 hundred years ago. You are being dehumanised and set up for genocide. Given there is no free land to run to today, no chains are required to keep you from running to freedom. Mortgage, Rent and Tax keeps you locked in very much more effectively. All upheld by so called law, empathy and compassion. Thanks to the systemically heterophobic, sexist and racist DEI hiring policy used by all corporations who want to be allowed to stay in business. Under the cosh of a soviet style centralised cancel culture. So, given your condition as a white man, what can you do about getting a job? Research all charities and NGOs - the epicentre of centralised Power Select the one which gets the biggest taxpayer funding and pays the highest salary  Within the law, say anything you need, to get in Once in, exploit the business...

Today's news about the Green party is at the root, really about the Labour party. In my think tank days in the city, I knew many formerly high seated and life long Labour party members, who had defected to the Greens, exactly because they hated Israel. They never hid it and stood proud as they said it.  When I questioned them on it I always received silence or spiteful personal attacks and slurs and attempts to corral others into silencing and bullying me. Sound familiar? Hard luck to them that this is my business - to face it up, analyse the mentality of it and report on it to the people of Britain, so they can find safety. Bring it on! There is no mistake here. It has always been deliberate. The Labour party is still full of this.  This is why when they call you racist, it is merely a projection of a deeply held prejudice they are trying to locate in your innocent person. A mental health issue. Authentic hate crime not the fake stuff many are in prison for.  Always say ...

Is it reasonable to say that the current conflict between Restore Britain and Reform is a situation where 'reconciliation' can deliver victory? Spend some valuable time with the following essay before making up your mind: Beyond the Populate Front Yes. Restore Britain and Reform could be another setting in which the reconciliation framework is useful, particularly where rivalry turns into mutual delegitimisation or supporters regard cooperation as betrayal. The relevant question is: “What legitimate concern does the other party carry that ours risks neglecting?” Each should also examine its own conduct and allow members to reconsider without humiliation. Reconciliation would not necessarily require a merger, electoral pact or agreement on every policy. It could mean fair criticism, recognition of shared concerns, and cooperation where there is actual agreement. Differences would remain open to scrutiny. You could express it this way: > Restore Britain and Reform offer anothe...

The Hero’s Homecoming The difficult journey towards reconciliation, is a hero's journey. There are moments when changing your mind feels like losing your home. You may have given years to a cause, trusted its leaders, defended its beliefs and found friendship among its supporters. Then something begins to trouble you. An explanation no longer holds. A demand violates your conscience. You recognise in your own side a habit you once condemned in its opponents. What happens if you say so? Will you lose your friends? Will your opponents enjoy your embarrassment? Will everything you have stood for become meaningless? These questions can keep a person loyal long after certainty has gone. The difficulty is larger than admitting a mistake. It concerns who you are, where you belong and whether there will be somewhere to stand if you take the next step. Two essays offer ways of approaching that threshold. The Theory of Exile and Return examines the inward journey: how longing can be...
