Medical science is oppressive
Illness and wellness are mere taxonomies of power
It’s time to stop the rot
Students denounced, lecturers cowed and managers with little interest in truth
A classic case of missing the point
A misguided campaign to decolonise the Univerity of London’s Classics curriculum
Critical theory is dead
And theory itself has killed it
The vampire’s mirror

Into the setting sun…
Next summer, head west to Pembrokeshire
Belle époque on a plate
The Goring offers a level of enchantment seldom found in the environs of Victoria Station
Free speech is fascist
Words must be controlled to ensure that Starmer’s subjects behave themselves
On the awfulness of liberals
The Lords must put the Leadbeater bill to sleep
Still knocking on the door
For all the promises, subpostmasters are still waiting for compensation
