Every few days now, someone asks if civil unrest is brewing in the UK. The media toys with the idea. Social media feeds on it. And let’s be honest, some people want it. You can hear it in their tone. They’re not warning. They’re hoping. It’s stupid. It’s reckless. And it’s…

4 Years for chopping down a tree? Yet, child rapists walk free. This is absolutely insane. bbc.co.uk/news/live/clym…

I keep seeing “British values” thrown around, like we all know exactly what that means. But do we? Metaphysically, what is the nature of the reality these values are meant to respond to? Are they grounded in objective reality, or social fantasy? Epistemologically, how do we…

I keep calling for a constitutional reform of the United Kingdom. We are not the property of the state.

Everyone’s asking, “Who’s Britain’s Milei?”, but the real question is, would Britain even want one? Milei isn’t fixing Argentina. He’s getting the government out of the way so the people can fix it themselves. That’s the point. He slashed spending, removed price controls, ended…

It always amazes me when people say that "people like us" don’t invest. Why not? Everyone has access to the same tools. I knew nothing about trading when I started. I read a book—The Naked Trader by Robbie Burns—and opened a free practice account (plenty of platforms offer…

Is it just me, or does nobody have any principles anymore? Everyone talks about fairness, until it means they might have to stand on their own two feet. Then it’s all “I paid in,” “I want mine,” “someone else can deal with it.” It’s just me, me, me, wrapped up in faux moral…

Mostly people today wouldn’t know what was moral if it walked up and slapped them in their faces.

Socialism keeps failing—so why do people still crave it? I expose the moral root of its appeal in my latest episode: 👉 youtube.com/live/0ZqdJ5S9W…

The difference between monarchy and modern parliamentary democracy in the UK is a bit like the old line about socialism: “The difference between suicide and murder is who pulls the trigger.” Under monarchy, power was imposed on you from above, you were ruled. Under…

Everything @RupertLowe10 said is true. But let’s not stop at describing symptoms. The real problem is deeper than red tape or high taxes. We’ve built a culture, and a state, that punishes the people who produce. You start a business. You take the risk. You work the hours. You…

I’ve criticised CfDs before. They distort the energy market and interfere with price signals. But threatening to tear up signed contracts? That crosses an ethical red line. @reformparty_uk talks a lot about their “contract with the people.” But here’s the thing: They’ve just…

So the UK is lowering the voting age to 16. Not because 16-year-olds are suddenly wiser, but because the political class, mainly on the left, thinks they’ll vote their way. But here’s the contradiction they won’t touch: if you’re mature enough to vote, why can’t you legally…

Good people can hold bad ideas. I’ve got friends I care deeply about, people I admire in many ways. But that doesn’t mean I have to agree with them on everything. It doesn’t mean I have to accept flawed ideas just to preserve harmony. Disagreeing with someone’s ideas is not an…

This is self evident. What happened to policing without fear or favour? Pride is a political event, police should be there in uniform to police it. Not participating in the event.

Just caught @benhabib6 on Talk Radio with Peter Cardwell. He said what I’ve been arguing for months, Reform UK has no clear philosophy or internal structure. It’s a one-man band with no constitutional foundation. But here’s the thing, that's the Pot, calling the kettle, black.…

If you don’t understand why politicians act the way they do, you’ll keep falling for charisma and empty promises. It’s not Left vs Right, it’s incentives. 📘 The Calculus of Consent explains it all: amzn.to/4lEOdEC (Affiliate link — I may earn a small commission)

Sir Mark Rowley’s plan for regional “mega-forces” isn’t reform. It’s consolidation of power, and it’ll do nothing to fix what’s broken. Policing works best when it’s local, accountable, and focused. You don’t solve inefficiency by creating giant, centralised bureaucracies. That…
