Symphony
We must resurrect the symphony
Or the orchestra will die with it
Why Christian culture is essential to education
It deeply informed our art and our ideas
The Democratic Party deserves Donald Trump
Its arrogance and complacency have been exposed
Why can’t there be more vampires?
Bloodsucking, in various more or less metaphorical guises, is after all opera’s happiest place
Getting the creeps
How should we cope with the unsettling in everyday life?
This is England, nor are we out of it
Englishness isn’t an ethnicity, or even an idea. It’s more like auto-destructive art
Killing time
Parliament is making the world a better place, one death at a time
The tragedy of Radio 3
The centenary “celebration” of the BBC Singers summed up everything that has gone wrong
Public sector pay
Bumper pay rises for doctors and teachers are bound to result in higher inflation
The dangerous rise of egg harvesting
Women should not be encouraged to undergo a dangerous and unnecessary procedure
Doublespeak about assisted suicide
The campaign for assisted suicide is distinctly Orwellian
Don’t idolise Roger Scruton
Our reverence for the late thinker must not limit our imaginations
