The great liberal John Maynard Keynes said that when the facts change, I change my mind — and when it rains, I put up my umbrella. The weather is too stormy for Britain to justify its no-umbrella policy in regard to ID cards any longer, bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

TikTok going from a privately-owned Chinese company to a state-owned U.S. company? Folks used to predict that the Chinese and U.S. economies would converge over time, but not this way.
U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY LUTNICK SAID HE BELIEVES THE TIKTOK SALE WILL GO THROUGH AND THAT THE U.S. WILL END UP PURCHASING THE PLATFORM.
The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace. 'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't…

A few weeks ago Rory Kamala-will-win easy Stewart & Alistair 45 minutes Campbell said my blog on the deep state fears about ethnic violence were 'far right conspiracy theory'. Today National Security Secretariat briefings to Cabinet are reported p1 in MSM. Remember, the…
Oxbridge JRF adverts never used to stipulate anything beyond discipline. A Music JRF has just been advertised at Cambridge, for which "research interests that extend beyond Western art music" are preferred. Why not just leave it open and see which topic is most interesting?
The three Balliol products who featured on the global stage in the past few decades were Chris Pattern (the end of Empire), Boris Johnson (the end of Europe, at least Britain's participation in it) and, now, Ghislaine Maxwell (the end of Civilisation)
