Once again: it’s the ‘placemen’ that have given the social media mobs so much power

Hector Drummond Posted on Friday 31st August 2018 by Hector DrummondFriday 31st August 2018

Six months ago I published a piece at Comment Central called ‘Social media and the place (wo)men’ about social media threats to free speech. Since then this topic has become even more pressing, and even more talked about – see, … Continue reading →

Here’s how we get stuck with the Tories

Hector Drummond Posted on Thursday 19th July 2018 by Hector DrummondThursday 19th July 2018

It’s now clear how it’s probably going to go. Theresa’s May’s sinking fortunes convince the Tories to finally go for a leadership challenge. A better leader, like Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees-Mogg, probably Boris, is installed. The right will cheer … Continue reading →

Dump the Tories

Hector Drummond Posted on Tuesday 17th July 2018 by Hector DrummondTuesday 17th July 2018

Hector Drummond Posted on Friday 13th July 2018 by Hector DrummondFriday 13th July 2018

That’s one of the things that’s changed recently. The establishment, by which I mean both the old aristocracy and the newer University-educated class of journalists, lawyers, broadcasters, public servants, ‘creative’ media types, etc., have joined forces with the nerds, that … Continue reading →

Britain really is a very racist country

Hector Drummond Posted on Wednesday 11th July 2018 by Hector DrummondThursday 12th July 2018

Not a sarcastic headline. I’m for real. Britain has become a racist country. And it’s toxic. I’m talking about the socially accepted, even mandatory, racism against Anglo-Saxons. There is, of course, a more general racism against whites these days. But … Continue reading →

Why hasn’t the UK moved to alternative parties like Europe has?

Hector Drummond Posted on Monday 9th July 2018 by Hector DrummondMonday 9th July 2018

They’ll have to drag May out by her fingernails

Hector Drummond Posted on Friday 6th July 2018 by Hector DrummondFriday 6th July 2018
