Are All Britain?s Current Woes Traceable to a Group of Entitled ?Tory Toffs? at Oxford in the 1980s? Tue May 17, 2022 13:00 | Toby Young
Simon Kuper's book about how a small group of 'Tory Toffs' who were at Oxford in the 1980s masterminded the Brexit project to reclaim their aristocratic birthright is highly entertaining, but not convincing.

Forget Science ? Climate Now Has a Central Role in The Culture Wars Tue May 17, 2022 11:26 | Chris Morrison
You might think that if you debunk patently silly extreme weather claims, the entire fear agenda will go away. Think again. Climate change is now firmly embedded in the culture wars surrounding race, identity and gender.

Why didn't the US back Zelensky? The New York Times wrote earlier this year that his government could be overthrown by far-right groups if he ?agrees to a peace deal that in their minds gives too much to Moscow?.

Jump To Comment: 1If it is true that Maura Harrington is in jail for non payment of fines it flies in the face of assertions made last month by Minister Dermot Ahern who said the Fines Bill 2009 was about to go into law. He declared again and again that the era of jail for non payment was well and truly at an end.
Then in the last weeks it was reported that up to 900 inmates had been fast tracked to release because the number of people in prison was away over the limit. Not Pat o Donnell and Niaill Hartnett and instead an increase of one by the addition of Maura Harrington. Who is running the country - the lack of cohesion in policy is away beyond embarrasement.
