Great British Railways
August/September 2021: Letters to the Editor
Samuel Beckett is at his best when he’s being brief
Back to the future
The new Great British Railways should abolish the garish sweet shop designs of today’s trains and look to the glorious liveries of the past
Kemi Badenoch is a useful idiot
The former Secretary of State has a track record of advancing woke regulations
Graduation blues
On the sad decline of the British university
There’s no good way to equal pay
You can’t beat the laws of supply and demand
Thou shalt not pray?
The British state is ruthlessly prosecuting thoughtcrime
The new equality bar
Is the Bar Standards Council really fit to enforce a proposed raft of new equality rules?
The dangerous rise of egg harvesting
Women should not be encouraged to undergo a dangerous and unnecessary procedure
The grim quasi-religious doctrine of “unconscious bias training”
Baroness Royall’s commitment to the idea should concern Oxford students, academics and administrators
Tense present
Our demand for immediacy makes it difficult to appreciate the past, the present or the future
The coming of age
On the anxieties and ambiguities of adulthood
It is good to challenge kids
That which makes us anxious can also make us strong
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
The magic of the original stubbornly refused to rise from the dead and save the movie from mediocrity
