David Hamilton, Culture Wars: To Discipline the Devil's Regions - A review by Peter Ayling

This is a major attack on the degenerate cultural elites who are destroying our art and culture from within and is something traditionalists and Christians can stand alongside. The subtitle is from the Chinese Book of Change the I Ching and proclaims war on the Forces of Decadence. If any think that is exaggerated, consider the contents of this book.

Endnotes – Rare British chamber works, Vivaldi arranged by Bach, and a trip to Lochnagar

If there is one musical initiative in this country that has revealed a hitherto unseen, unknown and unappreciated dimension to our cultural understanding, it has to be the English Music Festival, held each year at Dorchester in Oxfordshire. The name, Norman O’Neill, is virtually forgotten today, and even for aficionados, he is little more than a footnote in specialist appreciations of English music, such as Michael Trend’s indispensable survey of our artistic renascence at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Falklands: European Parliament Confirms No Reason to Remain in EU

Given the intense debate on EU membership in the United Kingdom, one would expect European institutions to make a determined effort to show British voters that it is indeed in their interest to remain part of this organization. However, for the Continental elites, EU membership, and what they grandly call “European integration” is not something on which one may have a rational, democratic debate, in order to freely choose whether to take part. Instead, it is more akin to a cult or religion

The Revival of English Classical Music

When we are being denied the celebration of our own culture, it is heartening to see a successful example of reviving our culture in the face of Establishment hostility. The English Classical Music Festival founded by Em Marshall has done that.

Architecture, Urban Planning and Identity

The collective hatred of our nation’s past by the ruling elite takes practical form in their drive to erase many aspects of our culture, traditions and physical history – and is best illustrated by their physical erasure of our traditional architectural forms and its replacement with drab, soviet-style ‘accommodation’.

The (bleak) Future of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat Parties

It is obvious. The grassroots supporters of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat Parties feel betrayed by their respective parties. The Conservatives have betrayed their conservative values under the leadership of David Cameron while the Liberal-Democrats have betrayed their values for a liberal utopia since joining the coalition.

In the Line of Tradition

The mainstream parties have bad images - treason, war crimes, corruption, sleaze- are normal behaviour of the elites and the media but they hold the power and present themselves as moral. When exposed corrupt MS politicians are as individuals but in the case of un-orthodox politicians, bad behaviour is generalised to dehumanise the whole party.
Multi-racialists are happy to preach the benefits to those who have no choice but to live in it, but as soon as they have the money, move as far away from it as possible.

The Collapse of an Idol

Traditional Britain Group, Guest Articles, John Howells, Margaret Thatcher, Iron Lady, Conservative Party, Libertarianism, Capitalism, Class,

The Iron Lady was aptly named, for her heart was both cold and hard, devoid of compassion and empathy, having no heartfelt connection to the people she was elected to represent, seeing herself and the rest of Britain as atomized individuals and families. For her, society does not exist.

Modern Life and Loneliness

As usual the leftists at the BBC get this wrong. You can come from a stable family background and still feel lonely; be married with children and still feel lonely. Loneliness is a complex business and can be caused by any number of factors and the same hat does not fit all people.

The Moral High Ground

The Establishment presents itself as moral and opposed to low things like prejudice, narrow-mindedness and bigotry. This arrogance prevents them questioning whether they have indeed created a multi-racial utopia.

Un-Christian Attitude Towards Falklands Prompts Shadow of Doubt on Newly-Elected Pope

The referendum in the Falklands Islands on 10-11 March was a clear signal to the world that their population would not surrender in the face of threats and aggressions from Argentina. Instead, it would be the master of its destiny. The results spoke for themselves, with a 92% turnout and 98.8% voting in favour of retaining their status as a British Overseas Territory. Only three people voted against. This exercise in democracy, fully backed by London, stands in contrast with Buenos Aires' insistence that the islanders do not exist, and her efforts to harm the economy of the Islands.

Vilfredo Pareto: A Non-Marxist Sociologist

Vilfredo Pareto

Sociology has long been dominated by Marxists and is not seen as a fair or objective discipline. However, there have been Conservative sociologists like Albert Hobbs and George Bourne. Hobbs wrote Man is a Moral Choice and Bourne, Change in the Village. The Conservative version of history is in Sir Keith Feiling. Reading the above helps us understand our own views. Apart from these few, academia is dominated by what is known as the Cultural Marxist ideology.

Conservatives against Celebrity - James Cullis

The decision by the Chief Whip to suspend Dorries is, I feel, a good start, but also I believe the party can use this episode to set out an alternative understanding of conservatism.

Waldemar Januszczak: The Rasping Voice of Western Spirituality?

Waldemar Januszczak

Given the sort of broadcasting that one now expects from the BBC, it seems somewhat ungrateful to complain when they produce a documentary on the subject of Europe’s Middle Ages. But a
programme that seeks to celebrate the creativity and spirituality of European past presents a problem to Auntie Beeb.

UK and Canada: towards a much stronger commonwealth - Alex Calvo

Alex Calvo

British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird recently announced that the two countries would "colocate" a number of embassies and share consular services, in states where only one is currently present. The move could lead to considerable savings and has been hailed as a way to ensure a wider presence in some areas of the world sometimes considered secondary but which may be important both from a political and an economic perspective.
