Media
I hate PRIME with a passion
Where does advertising stop and entertainment begin?
The unreliable auntie
Why does the BBC so often fail to inform?
Why they hated Benedict
He defended tradition against modernity
Royal blush
Boycotting the Crown and handbags at dusk
New Year’s writing resolutions
What I will try to improve in 2023
Politics is not downstream from culture
Against Top Gear conservatism
A plagiarism success story?
Whatever happened to due diligence
Mental illness does not fit your easy narrative
Sanitisation is not acceptance
Why can’t our media grow up?
We should be a lot more careful if war is at stake
The bizarre fetish for “grown-up” politics
Is it enough to not be a child?
Music for a warm bath
Bloch, Bruch, Dohnanyi (Claves)
Racing’s shame
British racing should have nothing to do with Sheikh Mohammed
The final death of left v. right?
Old political categories are losing their value
Modernism at the opera house
Everything sacred and beautiful must be dragged through the mud
The intimacy of thoughts
An excess of technology burdens a cerebral adaptation
Imagine there’s no Labour
It’s easy if you try
The subsidy squeeze
Schemes such as HS2 cost billions of pounds while reducing UK productivity
The Tories are victims of themselves
It is futile to complain about the consequences of laws they have established or upheld
Pushing the boundaries
The map of the world is likely to be redrawn, thanks to the decline of post war Pax Americana, an expansionist Russia and China, and the push for ethnic sovereignty
Labour could cause irreversible damage in government
Don’t give Keir Starmer a blank cheque to rewrite British society
The Turner Prize’s identity crisis
The art establishment has revived competent drawing in spite of itself
