In his 1963 essay “Reflections of a Gothic Mind,” the great American conservative thinker Russell Kirk wrote of how, when it came not only to architecture, but to his outlook upon the world in general, “I did not love cold harmony and perfect regularity of organisation; what I sought was variety, mystery, tradition, the venerable, the awful … I would have given any number of neo-classical pediments for one poor battered gargoyle.” I was reminded of these sentiments recently when reading a...

After first entering Parliament back in 2005, the black female Labour Party MP and indefatigable champion of homosexual giraffes Dawn Butler says she was mistaken for one of the House of Commons cleaning staff, something she naturally put down to institutional racism on behalf of those concerned. Obviously, this error was indeed highly offensive – to the building’s cleaners.

As James Cameron announces that any future Terminator film will ‘jettison everything’ that came before, we wonder whether it’s a case of franchise history repeating…Forty years old this year, The Terminator is the movie that made careers. It turned writer-director James Cameron and producer Gale Ann Hurd from 20-something hopefuls into the kinds of filmmakers 20th Century Fox would trust with the Alien franchise. I cemented Arnold Schwarzenegger’s status as a true Hollywood star.

29 May sees 150 years since the birth of G.K. Chesterton, the once-famed English writer and Catholic apologist – now a deeply unfashionable figure. Perhaps the single book which sums up best why Chesterton is not much read on university syllabuses today is his 1914 novel The Flying Inn, also celebrating 110 years in print in 2024. I say “in print”, but no major presses, like Penguin Classics, currently have it in their catalogue. I had to get my copy from a low-budget “print on demand” service. Why?

It emerged in late April that residents of Trump Plaza, a 40-storey skyscraper in the New York suburb of New Rochelle, had a real problem with their address: it was named after Donald Trump. As Trump is considered by all right-thinking American voters to be The Most Evil Man Who Has Ever Lived, some tower-dwellers think association with his name is pushing the potential value of their property down.

In early April, an offshoot of the Just Stop Oil eco-activist group calling themselves Youth Demand descended upon the London HQ of the UK Labour Party and sprayed it all over with red paint. Its occupants had “blood on their hands”, they said. Apparently, the Labour Party, who are highly likely to form the next British Government come the General Election due later this year, were “threatening to continue [committing] genocide” once they were in office.

Modern-day gender cultists are continually telling us that “trans people have always been with us”, by which they mean spurious ahistorical caprices about cross-dressing Egyptian mummies, effeminate Vikings, or Joan of Arcreally being genderqueer. Perhaps in a certain sense, this assertion is actually true: just not in the positive way these true believers mean it.

Thirty years after the tragic 1994 mass killings in Rwanda, when mobs of ethnic majority Hutus slaughtered between 500,000 and 800,000 ethnic minority Tutsis with machetes, the idea of genocide is once again in the air – but not in the way you might expect. Contemporary ideas of what constitutes genocide, or incitement to genocide, are becoming increasingly vague and subjective.
