Immigration Discussion Paper
National culture emerges historically and is not something that is an unalterable permanent feature of any particular group. But nor is it arbitrary and open to instant change.
Student Strike for Palestine
The crux of this is the need for not ten, hundred or even a thousand, but thousands and thousands of students to commit themselves to the strike, having understood that unless this happens, the pro-Palestine movement will disintegrate. There is no alternative. Once again: there remains one way to move the dial, and the dial must be moved, so will we move the dial?

God Through Humanity
The structure of mankind has existed according to materialism, as suggested by Marx two centuries prior to writing this blog, for as long as humanity has existed.

Warning from Citywest: How the Left Let the Right Set the Agenda
The Left and the Government have entered into the holy alliance of liberal respectability politics over Citywest. Those with the least purchase in society are hunted from both sides, a paranoiac pressure-cooker surrounding them from every corner, with no one left to champion their interests bar the Right.
