Good Riddance to Blair – the man who raised hopes only to dash them

 
When Margaret Thatcher left Downing Street, I never thought that I would ever feel such loathing towards another person.
I rejoiced when I saw Michael Portillo and other overmighty Tories lose their seats in the landslide General Election of 1997.  I truly thought that Tony Blair’s government would usher in a new dawn.
How wrong I was, [...]

Taking the war to the enemy in Iraq

Excellent piece (and video of Javelin launch) by Michael Yon
on how the British Army is taking the fight to the terrorists who spend their time laying IEDs (improvised explosive devices) around Basra to blow up our troops.
Hat-tip to EU Referendum.

Iran farce – the armchair warrior wades in

I admit it. I am an armchair warrior. As a mere civilian who has never tried to tackle anyone or anything more dangerous than a drunken man attacking his equally drunk girlfriend (needless to say I got no thanks from the girl for interfering in a private argument), from the comfort of my home [...]

Frederick Forsyth on Britishness and the brazen hypocrisy of the Left-Liberal Establishment

At the risk of being sued for breach of copyright, I am retyping an article by Frederick Forsyth in the Daily Express of Friday, 2 February 2007 in its entirety.
