Looking At Monarchy | Charles A. Coloumbe

The modern concept of nationhood is a waning mix of various traditions all being eroded by various factions whose interactions supersede nationhood. It is truly worrying that, at an alarming rate, nationality is becoming a word on a passport, rather than a substance of meaning. 

Nationality is much more than a term in which metaphysical formation exists as a foundation for modern government. 

The reduction of the nation is a vicious cycle comprised of immigration resulting in the watering down of native populations and native culture, which in turn promotes more immigration.

Russia Defeated: A Thought Experiment | Firas Modad

Let us imagine that it is now 2025 or 2030. Russia has been defeated in Ukraine – despite its threats, it baulked at using nuclear weapons and accepted that it must surrender all Ukrainian territory it seized. 

President Vladimir Putin has been overthrown, and a more hardline, insular and autarkic regime that is incapable of projecting power abroad is left standing.

The Monarchy: a brief defence | Pierre-Louis Plumejeau-Wilby

If Edward Gibbon was right in saying that Christian morality destroyed the Roman Empire through its aversion to avarice and vice through charity and righteousness, then its absence is what has fashioned and nourished the unholy liberal-postmodernist alliance that occupies every seat within the current establishment.

We live under a regime dictated by ideological amorality and commodification through covetousness, embodied by the wholesale auctioning-off and watering down of all that was once considered integral organs of the body politic and community of this once United Kingdom; the monarchy is next.

The paralysis of public inquiries | Chris Davies

Instinctively, I am sceptical about public inquiries and the like. Having lived long enough to see successive governments use inquiries as a means to avoid difficult questions “in the moment” and then avoid the same difficult questions when the findings of the inquiry are reported as “it is all in the report and we will learn the lessons from it”, nothing I have seen this week has reduced my scepticism, perhaps even augmented it.

Marriage is supposed to be a heroic challenge not a ticket to eternal happiness | Thomas Blunt

After all, marriage is supposed to be difficult. The modern-day ideal of marriage is, rather tragically, the opposite. We moderns have come to expect that marriage is the pill that will bring us everlasting fairy-tale happiness; women will ride off into the sunset with their prince charming and live happily ever after. If this doesn’t turn out to be the case, which it never will because it’s an unrealistic expectation, we have decided that our ‘happiness’ as individuals is what is paramount and we should be able to renounce our wedding vows almost as quickly as we made them.
