What's your strategy then? Keep locking and unlocking forever more, until the country is in tiny bits and pieces...?

Is this the death of cinema?

2023’s Oscars ceremony was significant, as it may well have been the last time we see its kind. Because like the terrible idea to expand the football World Cup to 48 teams next time round, the rules are being changed by the Academy. See the press release here , which presents the most serious assault ever seen on the workings of the film industry.   Read it? Then I’ll continue. (Do please read it. It's horrifying. Yes, the Academy has been dodgy and corrupt for years, but this is a new frontier of awfulness.) It was of course a plan conceived in one of the worst years the civilised world has ever seen, 2020, when not only did the compassion fascists fulfil their dream of controlling people’s behaviour to the Nth degree (because of a disease akin to the seasonal flu), but the race obsessives/warriors/grifters fulfilled their dream of making people bend the knee to the great god of anti-racism (because of the death of a black recidivist), actions which did very little to halt the

Postcard from Montenegro

Seeing that my country, the UK, has become one where a school teacher is forced to apologise for saying “Good afternoon, girls” to a class of girls, a boy accidentally scuffing a Koran necessitates the need for a press conference involving the police and local ‘faith leaders’, and citizens have their bank accounts closed if their views happen not to align with left-wing dogma, I figure it’s time to go abroad again, this time to Montenegro, one of the seven countries formerly known as Yugoslavia (six, if you don’t count Kosovo). In late July 2023, I go for one week, accompanied by a friend and David Szalay’s magnificent book All That Man Is . The weather is hot and sunny (in summer, in Southern Europe, who knew?) and we stay in the slice-of-heaven Old Town in a nice Airbnb. I fly with easyJet into Tivat airport from Gatwick, my friend from elsewhere. To speedily get the covid crap out of the way first: in terms of finger-wagging signage I see only the very occasional faded sticke

How Doctor Who became Doctor Woke

Ever since it returned in 2005, Doctor Who has been the perfect vessel for writers and creatives to promote the political and social causes they believe in under the guise of space-fantasy adventures. In recent years the show has become more strident, with each showrunner seemingly determined to outdo his predecessor on the ‘progressive’ politics front. Steven Moffat notably ramped things up during the Peter Capaldi years; his dismal successor Chris Chibnall turbo-charged the messaging in the Jodie Whitaker era; and the returning Russell T Davies will soon be spicing up things further under Ncuti Gatwa.   Over the last decade, as identity politics became the type of politics most fed to the masses, the programme found itself perfectly placed to disseminate ideas that formed in academia from the mid-twentieth-century onwards to a wider population. ‘Identity’ rules nowadays, and in Doctor Who the lead character is someone who can change their identity. When this concept was conceived
