The campaigning activities of abolitionist MPs such as William Wilberforce and Thomas Fowell Buxton are well-known, but one former MP, who had become a member of the House of Lords, was involved in this question in a rather different way. Joe Baker – Public Engagement Assistant for the History of Parliament – looks at the […]

The steady stream of revisionist gibberish coming out of Māori Party rhetoric these days is eye-watering. They never miss an opportunity to bamboozle ordinary folks with silly word salads, half of which are spoken in a tongue only 4% of New Zealanders can even understand. Take this for example: In a recent interview with Jack…

It looks like the Assad regime which has ruled Syria since 1971 may be about to crumble. The Civil War started 13 years ago but was thought to be at a stalemate, but suddenly two major cities have fallen, and opposition forces are approach Damascus. The fact Iran and Russia have started to evacuate their […]

The prediction of inflation dynamics—how prices change over time—has increasingly confounded modern macroeconomists. Throughout much of the twentieth century, there seemed to be clear relationships linking the money supply, economic slack, and price levels.

Here is a gloomy account from Vladimir Mirov: Ruble depreciation will contribute to inflation even further, as Russia is continued to be heavily reliant on imports – this is a kind of self-sustaining spiral. I also strongly disagree with those who say that cheaper ruble is “good” for exporters and the budget. Exporters have yet […]

A run of calm nights (particularly during very hot or very cold weather) reveals the utter pointlessness of intermittent wind and solar. And, so it is in the land Downunder. Australia’s hard Green-Left Federal government is doing its best to stare down reality, as its grand wind and solar ‘transition’ unravels. The so-called energy ‘policy’ […]
