A bitter obsession
The horror hit of the year has fuelled disingenuous attacks in the sex wars The concept of love potions and spells has been a staple in literature and movies for centuries. From a comedic plot device in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream where the queen of the fairies falls in love with a donkey, to Harry Potter where they’re sold as a form of magical teenage mischief at the Weasley twins’ joke shop. Love spells are usually used as a moral that love cannot be forced or manufactured.
The rise of toxic femininity
The return of feminine aesthetics is not good news for traditionalists In recent years, there has been a surprising resurgence of hyper-feminine aesthetics in the media. This represents a break with a previous era, which emphasised that good women, feminists, don’t wear pink. It celebrated the androgyny of pantsuits, baggy clothing and short hair, popularised by celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Willow Smith and Demi Lovato.
Why Britain’s Proposed Smoking Ban Is Immoral
The British Conservative Government that would ban anyone born after 2008 from buying tobacco products. This means that, in time, adults would be prohibited from buying cigarettes, among other things. A few decades from now, a 35-year-old would be allowed to buy tobacco, whereas a 34-year-old would not. This initiative is a part of the Conservative government’s paternalistic drive to prevent or ban people from consuming various smoking products.
How State-Funding of Activist Groups Makes Britain Less Safe
Recently in the United Kingdom, an asylum claimant named Abdul Ezedi threw a corrosive substance over a woman, leaving her with life-changing injuries. Ezedi, who had arrived illegally in the back of a lorry in 2016, had been denied asylum twice. In 2018, he was given only a suspended sentence after being convicted of sexual assault. Finally, in 2020 he was granted asylum to protect him from prosecution after he claimed to have converted to Christianity.

Social media and the neoteny trap
The aesthetics of adolescence can be a distraction from the grim potential of the future Why are zoomer women so keen to embrace girlhood? TikTok is full of “gorgeous gorgeous girls” with self confidence, girls who are “girlrotting” by laying in their bed doomscrolling on their iPhones, and girls eating a bag of doritos as “girl dinner.” Some zoomer girlies have adopted the label of being a “girl” to justify incompetent, irrational and unhealthy decisions.
How Radical Leftist Activist Groups Have Captured the British Government | Jess Gill
Fourteen years in government and what have the British Conservative Party got to show for it? The highest tax burden since World War II, radical anti-freedom green policies, and critical race and gender theory being applied throughout all institutions. Some simply blame this all on government incompetence. Others doubt the politicians actually believe what they’re advocating and suspect they are just doing it to appease special-interest groups.

Hating women is not “trad”
Men and women have to work together for conservative goals to be achieved 2024 has only just begun and already the main question for conservatives has shifted from “what is a woman?” to “what is a woman allowed to wear?”. Several prominent right wing women have received a wave of backlash over dressing immodestly, giving new prominence to the term “tradthot.” The centre of the controversy was the US beer manufacturer Conservative Dad’s “Real Women of America” calendar.
The Anti-capitalist Attack on Therapy
There is a common criticism that therapy has become too mainstream and commercialized, feeding into snowflake culture. From influencers receiving sponsorships to promote mental health apps to the prominence of online therapy advertisements on social media, it seems like there’s a movement to push therapy on young people who arguably might not need it.

This TikTok Video Shows How the Right Is Scaring Young People Away from Capitalism | Jess Gill
Recently, a TikTok video of a zoomer in tears about her nine-to-five job went viral. In the video, she complains that she has to take a long commute to work since she can’t afford to live in the city. With an early rise and a late return, she explains that she doesn’t have time to do anything else. With millions of views, the video received a mixed bag of responses. On TikTok, the video received a mostly positive reception.
No, there is no conspiracy to replace the NHS with a marketised system - and more's the pity
It is clear that Britain’s National Health Service is failing. 7.6 million people are on a waiting list, and 41% of them say their health has got worse while waiting for treatment. The UK has significantly fewer hospital beds, doctors, nurses, CT scanners, and MRI units than the OECD average. Furthermore, the UK has the second-highest rate of treatable deaths in Western Europe. Yet despite all the evidence, British people still believe the NHS is the single best thing about Britain.

Vox populism | Jess Gill | The Critic Magazine
It has become a wearisome tradition at every Conservative Party conference. A swarm of left-wing journalists hunt to find some unsuspecting young conservative to put on camera like a performing monkey. From gushing about their undying love for Nigel Farage to detailing how they’ve been dumped for their being a Tory, it does not tend to show the Conservatives or conservatism in a favourable light. I’m not expecting the left wing media to depict the Conservative party in a positive way.
The descent of man
“Nobody plays with Ken,” Ryan Gosling told Jimmy Fallon in an interview prior to the release of the Barbie movie. “He’s just an accessory and not even one of the cool ones.” From the original advertising, it seemed that playing Ken was unusual for Gosling, who often portrays complex and troubled male characters. In Blade Runner 2049, for example, his role reflected the sensation of feeling not only lonely, but lost in a world and trying to find purpose within it.
Do Young People Really Rage against the Machine?
By Jess Gill Originally published on fee.org Should we be romanticising the idea of young people rebelling against the system? There is a romanticized view that left-wing youth movements are the wave of the future and on the “right side of history.” The stereotypical young idealist is assumed to be a left-wing radical who supports movements such as Black Lives Matter and causes such as the Green New Deal and socialism.

Lessons from Socilaized Medicine: "Britain's National Health Service is a god that has failed."
The day after America celebrated its independence and its founding principles of self-governance and liberty, across the pond, Britain paid tribute to its values of collectivism and statism by commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the National Health Service (NHS). Children’s choirs sang “Happy Birthday” at a thanksgiving church service celebrating the NHS at Westminster Abbey. In attendance were the prime minister and the opposition leader, among others.

How YouTube lost its fun
The years between 2014 and 2018 were a renaissance period for YouTube. As its viewership grew, and content creators realised it offered a full-time career, the platform became a goldmine for anyone who wanted their shot of internet fame. This was the era that refused to take things too seriously — enabling the mockery of social justice warriors, from the battle of GamerGate to Ben Shapiro DESTROYING liberals on college campuses.

Free Speech Authoritarianism Is Not the Answer to Censorship
With the rise of Big Tech and government surveillance, defenders of liberty have championed free speech as a core value. With the British government arresting individuals for making edgy jokes and the American government censoring what they consider to be misinformation, civil libertarians have rightfully taken on the fight to defend free speech and the marketplace of ideas. However, it appears that even the noble cause of fighting for free speech is not safe from being hijacked by statism.
The Ultimate Guide to The Tribes of The Far-Left (Part 1) - 1828 - Championing Freedom
Tankies, Trots, Marxist-Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Anarcho-Communists… If you are a social media user, you will almost certainly have come across some of the far-left subcultures which flourish there, perhaps watching their theatrics with a mixture of bewilderment, morbid fascination, and bemused contempt. If you ever wondered what the differences between these various factions are, and how they relate to each other, you have come to the right place.
How Meghan and Harry Ignited a War Against Free Speech
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been a hot topic in British politics over the past few weeks. From their Netflix documentary to Prince Harry’s new book Spare, the couple have exposed bombshells on themselves and the Royal Family. Whether it be Harry claiming that his brother and sister-in-law made him dress up in a Nazi costume for Halloween or claiming that a royal family member questioned how dark their son’s skin might be.
Oxfam inequality report full of diagnoses, but lacks policy detail
Each year, Oxfam releases its report on world inequality, always timed to coincide with the World Economic Forum jamboree in Davos. It always shows massive inequality amongst the planet’s eight billion people and demands radical redistribution of global wealth. This year’s report is no different, calling for wealth taxation on an unprecedented scale. The practicalities of this are, however, glossed over. We have no official record of wealth holdings, and Oxfam’s quoted figures are guesstimates.
The Cult of the National Health Service
How the tribalistic mentality around Britain's healthcare has left everyone worse off. By Jess Gill Published on January 14, 2023 A month ago The Guardian ran a story exposing the fact that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak received private healthcare. Sunak faced online backlash for resorting to the market instead of relying on the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). To an outsider, it may seem ridiculous that the British public is so vexed over such a personal decision. It’s his money after all.
Universal healthcare without the NHS: an alternative history - Part 1
Introduction: an alternative pre-history In late 2009, the polls consistently pointed towards a Conservative victory in the General Election which was expected to be held in the coming year. Opposition leader David Cameron had good reason to be hopeful, and up to a point – he was. But one thing kept bugging him and his team: the endless insinuations by some of his political opponents that he was harbouring some kind of secret plan to privatise the National Health Service.

Britain needs constitutional reform, but Gordon Brown is not the man for the job.
Outside of those groups which pang for a return to Blairism, Gordon Brown’s proposals for constitutional reform have, for the most part, been greeted by derision and ridicule. This is for a good reason: of all the people Sir Keir Starmer could have chosen to review the British constitution, he put his faith a man who was integral to implementing the misguided constitutional reforms of the late 1990s. The worst of these reforms was devolution.

Why Liz Truss Failed While Margaret Thatcher (Partly) Succeeded
Throughout her leadership election campaign, Liz Truss gave a strong impression that her government would be devoted to the free market. The Prime Minister ran on a platform dedicated towards “freedom, low taxes and personal responsibility.” The newspapers depicted her as a radical libertarian and the next Margaret Thatcher.
Truss must pick up where Thatcher left off by overturning the failed Anglo-Welsh leasehold orthodoxy
Prime minister Liz Truss is in a dash for growth. In the mini-budget, we heard from her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng on daring plans for low-tax, planning restricted zones to energise and densify our cities. Particularly in and around London soaring rents, rampant property speculation and a lack of housing supply are holding back the economy, preventing my generation from putting down our roots. Left unchecked this will spread to other regions, too.
The NHS is the enemy of the working class
It always surprises me when my friends who have grown up with private healthcare are so quick to phone up a doctor over any little thing. In my northern working-class family, phoning up the GP was always the last option. A few months ago, I started to experience vertigo whenever I stood up. It lasted a few days. My friend insisted I at least phone 111. When I called the man on the phone did an assessment and said they’d get back to me in an hour.
How the British state perpetuates woke activism
The Conservative Party leadership contest has brought about a discussion on how the party can combat social leftism. From Kemi Badenoch raising awareness about the Tavistock gender identity clinic scandal and how children are subjected to transgender ideology, to Rishi Sunak claiming the Equality Act is a “trojan horse” to push “woke nonsense”, the party is starting to wake up to the fact that ‘wokeness’ has captured Britain’s institutions.

Crabs and capitalism
If you put a crab inside a bucket, it will crawl out. However, if you put multiple crabs in a bucket, they will all stay inside the bucket. If any crab decides to attempt to leave the bucket, they will be pulled back in by their crab comrades. It is believed that the reasoning of the crabs not letting any others escape the bucket can be best described as “if I can’t have it, neither can you.” Even if this results in them being turned into crab soup, the crabs will remain in the bucket.

The UK’s Single-Payer Healthcare System Has Become a State Religion-and It’s Failing Original
The NHS (National Health Service) is known to be the closest thing to a state religion in the UK. During the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, households around the country clapped outside their front doors in order to thank the NHS for its service. The British healthcare system is “our” NHS and is claimed to be one of the best things about the UK.

Dressage is simple and simply beautiful - Hamminga and Rothenberger get together
Part one – Working with Johan Hamminga and Jennifer Sekreve at home Our first training session when we last visited Jen and Johan was with an old friend, San Siro, a horse we’d seen develop from a three-year-old colt to a competition horse gearing up for his first Prix St Georges. In this training session we are working with a new face, the six-year-old Rhodium stallion, Ferrero, (out of an Olivi mare). Jennifer rode him last year at the World Championships in Holland.
