Supreme court rules in favour of anti-abortion clinics in free speech case Judges rule faith-based ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ are not obliged to tell women that free or low-cost abortions may be available elsewhere. So reported the  Guardian online on the June 26 announcement from the SCOTUS latest rulings. Other notable on the day rulings included the upholding of President Trump's targeted travel ban on citizens from a number of predominantly muslim countries to the USA. Matters then generally seem to have improved a great deal in the wake of those SCOTUS decisions.The world is a sunnier place and liberal snowflakes get to bleed their consciences over the rest of us some more. Those once towering bastions of corporate globalist MSM,such as  New York Times  and  Washington Post, have gone so far as to concede defeat on the upholding of Trump's travel ban and acknowledge the importance to the Trump presidency of the SCOTUS decision. And that's how it's

On Sunday June 24,Turkey goes to the polls. It is very likely that the incumbent President Erdogan will be returned to office.In the event that he is,the Turkish state will undergo a radical transformation and the office of president will assume vastly enhanced powers to the detriment of both the Turkish parliament and judiciary as presently constituted. The Turkish armed forces are currently illegally inside Syrian territory and are conducting military operations against indigenous mainly Kurdish militias as well as occupying Syrian villages,towns and cities; most notably Afrin, Idlib and Manbij. The US also has its armed forces illegally inside Syria and is conducting military operations and occupying Syrian territory.They have gone so far as to divide up mutually conquered Syrian territory with their Turkish co-aggressors. Which in purely International Law terms is utterly outrageous and without precedent.Not that the two NATO partner states have even bothered with the flimsie

It is axiomatic that nothing undermines law and order more effectively than hysterical shroud waving pleas of exceptionalism. But this is the UK 2018 and a couple of genuinely tragic and emotionally upsetting cases involving vulnerable,ill children have become corporate MSM headline fodder. And nothing quite upsets the quotidian equilibrium as the pain and agony of a child plastered about everywhere and the Mother of such a child emoting. The decadent,some would say inherently degenerate,metropolitan ruling elites and their kowtowing lackeys of the political class favour decriminalisation and/or legalisation of cannabis and have done so for decades. Not only do they wish that the civilian populace remains ideologically compliant and docile but that widespread casual  and frivolous use of cannabis will reinforce this general state of affairs and in turn render a great service to those metropolitan liberal elites and their political lackeys. The whole contrived farcical and face

On March 2019, the UK's decades long membership of the European Union ends. And then there's a transition period which the May Minority regime has negotiated in order to appease pro-EU Corporate interests. The CBI and others conjured up the utterly preposterous chimera of an economic /financial " cliff edge " that would do for the UK economy were such a transition period not in place. And so on and so forth. The House of Commons has embroiled itself in a legislative mess worthy of the mythic augean stables. So Brexit in all likelihood is not going to take place,The only caveat to that is the innate cowardice of the ruling elites and their political class who, here in the UK,are historically incapable of telling it like it is to the people,especially when it comes to betraying the people's trust. Clarity and decisiveness in political leadership and governance are utterly alien to the UK. History is littered with great turning points,pivotal to all succeed

There's a quote that's been mis-attributed to Winston Churchill about jaw,jaw being better than war,war. it's a good quote,mis-attributed or not. Back in January 2003,I planned and curated a Poetry exhibition at Wakefield Cathedral on the Iraq war at the time using  the title , "Jaw,jaw war,war". Anyhow... It's a good day today, June 12 2018 ; the world has opted for more life in preference to nuclear self-immolation. Presidents Trump and Kim Jong Un shook hands and called each other friend. And the Washington DC neocon neanderthals and their liberal global interventionist cousins are pissed off beyond belief. Clearly they didn't see this one coming or they might with the benefit of hindsight in the next few days,as the new reality sinks into their troglodyte consciousness, claim to have done so but are not best pleased about it at all. The inimitable practitioners of  Realpolitik such as  Bismarck and Talleyrand however,would no doubt be enorm

Had the Conservatives in their 2015 GE manifesto promised to hold,if returned to office, an advisory only referendum on UK membership of the EU -history really would have turned out ...portentous crescendo of music... a bit different,but not much. They chose,instead with full cross party parliamentary agreement to make the result of the Referendum binding.The itinerant Westminster careerist benchwarmers believed,even as they promulgated this measure, that the 23 June 2016 EU Referendum would come out in favour of Remain.The entirety of the metropolitan domiciled ruling elites ,the entire Oxbridge / Public School alumni that constitutes the MSM Commentariat - all knew for certain that the Electorate when asked to approve of the UK remaining  a servile satrapy of the EU,would give their supine consent at the ballot box,no problem. Except of course, that they didn't. The majority of the Electorate chose instead to exercise their too often muted sovereign will by asking to be set f

The Republic of Ireland recently conducted a plebiscite on the question of whether or not the legislature ought to repeal the amendment to the Constitution that gives protection to the life of the unborn. This is disingenuously called by its detractors  the anti-abortion amendment. 64% of the registered Irish Electorate turned out to vote on May 25. 66% of whom voted to repeal the 8th Amendment. So on the empirical basis of significantly less than half of the 3 million plus electorate voting for repeal,the supporters of " Together4Yes " and corporate MSM everywhere declared a " landslide victory " for the proponents of unrestricted,state-approved extermination of the pre-birth humans. The British Prime Minister,referred to in one news report as , " a practising christian " (seriously!) immediately congratulated those who'd campaigned for the Repeal of the 8th.Amendment. She was followed in short order by an unruly stampede of PC metropolitan-based
