Views from the Right on UK & global politics and men's mental health.
Pro-Union. Pro-Israel. But principles matter more than tribes.
Good arguments welcome — wherever they come from.
Right, that's enough.
Restaurants.
If you list something as 18.5 instead of £18.50, I reserve the right to pay £18.46.
You’ve chosen to operate to one decimal place. By your own rules, I’ve paid 18.5.
And put the bloody £ sign back.

Fine.
I’d rather we put our energy into making “Made in Britain” mean something again.
More factories. More engineering. More skilled jobs. More things made here. reuters.com/world/uk/uk-excl…
Exactly this.
If you're late, all you do is demonstrate to everyone else that you consider their time to be worthless.
I'm very lucky - no-one has ever been late meeting me more than once.....

Whatever you think of Israel, the planning, intelligence and sheer audacity behind the operation were extraordinary.

How on earth has the Archbishop of Canterbury given an award to anyone - let alone a pro-terrorist Muslim - without doing really basic background checks? I’d imagine someone in her office is about to “retire”.
In all fairness, it should be her.

£56,000 to return one illegal migrant to France is absurd.
Those arriving illegally should be detained and, where the law permits, removed as quickly as possible.
How did enforcing a border become this expensive?

McLaren investing £500m in UK manufacturing is a big vote of confidence.
More factories. More engineering. More skilled jobs. More things made here.
I'd love to hear government say it plainly: Britain becoming a country of makers again is a good thing

Plenty of sympathy for Piddington. Putting 1,256 male asylum seekers next to a village of ~350 people is bound to cause concern.
But an awkward question: is immigration easier to support when its consequences are happening somewhere else?
