In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court in the UK has ruled that sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for their refugee status to be assessed, is unlawful. As my wife frequently observes : ‘well, I could have told them that !’ The British government had made a fatal mistake in managing their asylum seeker challenge…
By James Moore The U.S. Constitution is under attack. Christo-fascists are trying to turn a secular document into a religious proclamation. They want their Jesus back in public schools, prayer before classes, and the Ten Commandments plastered on all four walls with End Times nonsense whispered into the ear of every student in the land.…
Openly ignored by his incendiary, now ex-Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was left with few options. Retaining her would continue a process of blighting his already precarious prime ministership, suggesting weakness and a distinct lack of authority. Kicking her off the Cabinet front bench would, while reasserting some measure of control,…
“Good afternoon, today we are fortunate to have the pleasure of interviewing, Miss Information, who works for the Proper Gander Party.

By Denis Bright Australia’s two most resource rich states of WA and Queensland are setting new priorities in budgetary management, capital works intervention and even engagement with China. These commitments to state based economic and quasi-foreign policy initiatives must inevitably interact with federal protocols affecting our national sovereignty through the combined effects of strategic policies…
The other day I saw another post by a Conservative trashing Marxism and arguing that Marxism had never succeeded in practice. In response I argued that it depends on how you measure success. There may never have been a communist government of the sort Marx envisaged. Some regimes were a macabre parody of Marx’s principles.…
Armistice Day is one of those disturbing occasions of the year when humanity’s folly is laid bare. It should be an occasion to remind said humanity about the stupid waste occasioned by war and its war-crazed planners who generally elude the dock; instead, it’s an occasion to extol its virtues and remind the reactionaries that…
By James Moore (It is Veterans Day Weekend [here in the USA], and as is my personal tradition, I am sharing again my story on “The Boys of Praha.” I wrote this original narrative about twenty years ago for the “American Legion Magazine,” when I came across the history of this little Texas parish.
