When the guns of World War II finally fell silent in 1945, Europe faced not only the monumental task of rebuilding cities and economies, but also of seeking justice.

Reading the final chapters of Orlando Figes’ excellent and highly readable history of Russia, about the rise of Vladimir Putin and the lead-up to the war with Ukraine, I found myself growing more sympathetic to Putin’s accusations of western hypocrisy, and began to make a list of examples. Putin is a dangerous monster, but sometimes […]

Albert Speer must have been one of the biggest cowards of the Third Reich. He refused to take responsibility for his actions and kept claiming he wasn’t aware of the Holocaust. However, he was instrumental in getting the concentration camps built, and he kept the war machine going. Albert Speer is said to have prolonged […]

LBC reports: An investigation has revealed that a man known only as ‘Mr X’ worked as a personal bodyguard for Ismail Haniyeh, who was Hamas’ leader in Gaza between 2007 and 2017. He then successfully applied for asylum and eventually indefinite leave to remain in the UK, and was able to plot an antisemitic attack…

The title of Peter Bergen’s latest book ALL THE PRESIDENT’S WARS: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF THE WAR ON TERROR is a misnomer. The War on Terror did not begin on 9/11 as attacks against American interests took place long before planes flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The bombing of the Marine barracks […]

On 30 September 1938, the leaders of Great Britain, France, Italy and Nazi Germany signed the Munich Agreement, handing the Sudetenland—the predominantly German-speaking border regions of Czechoslovakia—to Adolf Hitler’s Germany. The Czechoslovaks themselves were not parties to the agreement. It was presented as a settlement intended to prevent another European war. British Prime Minister Neville […]

UK barrister, international law advocate, and legal director of UK Lawyers for Israel Natasha Hausdorff has argued several times on video why Israeli’s occupation of Area C of the West Bank is neither illegal nor constitutes “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians. Remember, according to the 1995 Oslo II accords, Areas A and B are largely under…

I wonder whether the massive support for the (AFD) Alternatives for Germany party in the Saxony state election, along with the sight of hundreds of Brits trying to stop illegal migrants arriving by boat from France, while Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, out rates all the other parties, will finally get western elites to face the […]
