David Starkey hits upon one of the more elusive aspects of what it means to be English. But we need to work our way up to it...

"I didn't realise what the Blair Revolution had done..."

" What we should be talking about is restoration"

"... the abstractions of so-called 'political philosophy' are the disaster... "

"The foundation of our values isn't 'democracy'... it is real people performing real acts, in real time..."

"... every revolution depends upon the rebels getting possession of London..."

" the Magna Carta is very quickly declared illegal by the Pope "

"... do we not realise this? This is the great difference between English Law and Roman Law  - every criminal who is not noble in Roman Law is

This article needs to be read in quiet reflection. It has layers.

Be grateful that we (most of us) live in better circumstances. Perhaps in better times. Perhaps not.

Yet it has become clear that something else is active, a throw-back to past eras that (mostly) dares not operate in the open today, even though it is very visible if we are aware of its contradictions.

"You will know them by their fruits"

And they challenge us, and will challenge us, but perhaps indirectly.  After all, for evil to have its way requires only that those not directly affected let it happen. Slowly...  and then quickly.

To some, the House of Lords is a running sore, ripe for abolition.

To others, it is a pale shadow of its former self, now reduced by the Commons to operate primarily as an old folks home for former politicians whose glory days are behind them.

Under the reforming/destructive/<insert-your-favoured-adjective-here> zeal of one call-me-Tony Blair, its function as the ultimate court of appeal was shipped out to a new "Supreme Court" US-style, answerable to... well, does anybody really know?

The House of Lords was the original parliament of ancient origin where the (hereditary) Lords of the land met with the Lords Spiritual (the Great and the Good of the Church of England) under the Monarch, to provide debate wisdom and guidance, as a formalisation of the ancient Witan of King Alfred.

Following the rise of the conurbations the

If the last half-decade shows us anything, it shows us that the Donald is not to be underestimated.

So here we present a different view of the Trump "second term", and how it may develop.

One thing is now clear: he is setting about wrecking the comfortable assumptions that underlay the previous world political order, and he challenges the world to rebuild something better. Will the world explode, implode, or will it respond positively?

This article sets out to explain how the positive response may look - but has anybody told Ed Milliband?

OK, this is likely a bit way out for most, but why not listen and see how it lies with you?

The inimitable Clif High (polymath, but probably here best introduced as a futurologist) discourses on the times incoming - starting not next decade, not even next year, but maybe this May.

Forewarned is forearmed as they say, this is probably futurology on steroids, nothing is so unpredictable as the future but maybe we should listen up anyway.

Never say that we shy away from posting challenging material!

Since Arthur Firstenberg's ground-breaking exploration of the historical spread of electromagnetic radiation around the world (The Invisible Rainbow - essential reading if you haven't already), and Tom Wheeler's outspoken assertion that public safety considerations were so "last year" and shouldn't hold up the 5G (and no doubt 6G etc) roll-outs, the focus on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation seems to have dissipated over time, eclipsed in the public mind by the Covid fandango and much else. 

Funny how Covid and the 5G roll-out seem to have coincided (and share a long list of possible symptoms), but of course that's just a conspiracy theory.

But conspiracy maniacs haven't gone to sleep, and here we have a good example of one that makes quite a fist of assembling available evidence in a readable fashion. If I

Apparently, Rachel Reeves has already set up a UK equivalent, the OVfM (Office for value for money).

I'm sure that we are all agog to know more about its amazing successes in closing down all the unnecessary and frankly illegal scams that suck the financial blood out of our taxes, and indeed the Daily Sceptic is I'm sure eager to inform us, so the first project appears to be a leisurely appraisal of ways in which to reduce the costs of procuring short term accommodation, for homeless Brits and asylum seekers.

Now you could excitedly go and read all about it, but there's really no need, because (spoiler alert) the one policy that really might have an impact on the expense to government in providing all this short term accommodation - the reversal of the government

Making a welcome return to these pages (or perhaps he actually belongs in a previous blog incarnation...), and once more provoking the question "Why do the most knowledgeable people exhibit the most erratic and confusing styles of presentation?", Ken Wheeler explains the function of the Giza pyramids in the light of the recent discoveries of what is said to lie beneath them, as only Ken can.

Enjoy!

Marxism, neo-Marxism, New-World-Order-ism, whatever it is, it isn't friendly and it is neither compliant nor resonant with Biblical instruction:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets"  Mathew 22:37-40

With Germany and much of Europe (perhaps excluding Hungary) relentlessly investing in power provision that doesn't work, yet still desperately dreaming of upping its investments in arms and munitions "for the "defence of Europe",  and the UK simply trying to stabilise its sinking economy, what is Russia up to, now that the West has forced it to ramp up its military to attack the bandits in Ukraine, a country that it used to control under the USSR, which assumed independence post-USSR - and (post the CIA-inspired Maidan revolution of 2014) became a proxy of UK/USA/NATO under the Biden Pretendency?

Whilst 'the Donald' has a vision of incorporating both Canada and Greenland (and who knows where else) within some sort of union with the States of North America, and Israel still Hell-bent on incorporating much of the surrounding territory into a "

When the onward march of technology meets the onward march of intermittent wind and solar, what will be the result for our power bills? Or indeed, for our supply of power?

In two words, I suggest "not pretty".

But never mind, we will have MHHS to help, so that will be OK, right? And it will all be controlled by energy regulator OfGem ("We work to protect energy consumers, especially vulnerable people, by ensuring they are treated fairly and benefit from a cleaner, greener environment" - remember that "benefit from" bit), so what could possibly go wrong?

In my youth the public utilities were always a byword for inefficiency. Some think that they still are, and not only for inefficiency.

My guess is that ontology, for most, is not a concept that readily springs fully-formed to mind.

I suppose it may be roughly defined as the ultimate generalisation of the way things are, how they work, inclusive of everything "seen and unseen", or perhaps I should say "material and spiritual" or "noticed and unnoticed" or "living and inanimate", or "dimensional or non-dimensional".

Nothing is beyond its purview.

Sounds to me like the proper scope of "science", which simply means the knowledge of how things work.

Or perhaps more inclusively, how things are (since some things don'rt work!).

Indeed, perhaps we are inadvertently reaching for a definition of "God" in so far as God is generally reckoned to be the ultimate "all-powerful", nothing being beyond His-Her

The Brownstone Institute reviews Covid on the "Five-Year Anniversary of the End of the World".

All you never wanted to know about the ins and outs.

For my part I have been saying for some time that the whole escapade was a global hoax and the virus didn't even exist (except as a mind-virus!) (a view shared by Dr Mike Yeadon), but I'm not sure that the Brownstone Institute shares that view.

It doesn't really matter, as it's up to each of us to form our own beliefs as best we may.

An interesting little video has appeared,which purports to get to the bottom of the legal status of those who inhabit the British Isles, and it raises some interesting points. It may also validate the naming of this site!

After watching, we may remind ourselves that the US Military is sworn specifically to defend the Constitution of the United States (from enemies external and internal!). They were way ahead of us back in 1788 (or thereabouts - I'm not sure exactly when the military adopted their specific oath, but presumably it was after the Constitution was ratified).

Specific allegiances may appear arcane but are hugely important - they involve trust, and they can tell us whom we should be able and/or willing to trust.

In case you are still wondering... 

In view of the lack of conventional military capability/capacity, as ever, Europe resorts to national posturing.

"If you oppose America's peace plan in Ukraine... then you are becoming an existential threat to the national security of the United States"

"... the script has been flipped... take a look at what happened at the United Nations recently... it was the United States voting with Russia, China, Belarus, North Korea, and it was France and the UK in opposition"
