In treating football players as thick overpaid yobbos who don’t know what a woman looks like, let alone what she feels, Camilla Long goes slightly over the thin line dividing misogyny and normal behaviour. Yes, most footballers are obsessed by money and good looks–not necessarily in that order–and are ready to leave politics and good […]

Facebook – 50 Shades Of Grey (Disintegrating) Matter
I don’t want to judge millions of people who absolutely swear by Facebook. I’m not even arguing with those who get a kick out of insulting others they don’t even know. I suppose it’s my fault – I mistook a boy for a girl, and then criticised him because he posted a video saying that […]
Return Of The Hooligans – Ann Widdecombe In Europe
It was an outburst that initially made me laugh, such was the clumsiness, inaccuracy and frankly vaudeville nature of Ann Widdecombe’s rant at the European parliament. Having heard that she is unrepentant and will not apologize in the least for her pathetic performance that was so out-of-place in Strasbourg, I now not only feel embarrassed […]
Ann Widdecombe – Science May Cure Being Homosexual But Brexit Won’t Cure Being British
Ann Widdecombe’s rant at the European parliament was just about par for the course for someone so openly patronising and who firmly believes that science has the cure for homosexuality. I am all for vivid analogies, strong language, and somewhat controversial views. God knows my posts do tend to ramble on with poetic soliloquies and […]
Film Review: “Son Of Saul” – A Vision Of Hell
Film Title: Son of Saul (2015) Director: László Nemes May 4th is a national remembrance day in the Netherlands. The entire country pays its respect to those who died in WWII and more recent conflicts, all in the name of freedom. Supermarkets close at 7.00 pm and, an hour later, a two-minute silence is observed. […]
Auschwitz – Des Gens Ordinaires, Des Vies Extraordinaires
Un sentiment étrange, ma première visite en Pologne. C’est le pays de mon père, mais une terre où il a perdu sa famille et ses racines. Mon père a quitté la Pologne au début des années 30, sentant le danger provenant de l’Allemagne et, voulant faire des études de médecine, a décidé que la France […]
Retour Des Djihadistes – Risque d’Attentats Sur l’A1 En Direction Du Nord
Alors qu’il m’a fallu presque un demi-siècle pour trouver la femme de mes rêves, à peine 240 heures auront suffi pour que ce combattant djihadiste tombe amoureux d’une lycéenne londonienne déguisée en nirvana bouddhiste version arabe, en plein désert. Jago Riedijk, né aux Pays-Bas, a mis dix jours pour épouser l’adolescente britannique Shamima Begum. Il savait […]
Running After The Hijab – Why Decathlon And The Washington Post Got It Wrong
For some it is hard to believe that France, of all countries, is having yet another heated debate concerning a dress code. The country that is renowned for its mode and haute-couture, is getting all worked up about a piece of cloth covering a woman’s hair – yet again, again. After having nearly drowned under […]

Is France Facing An Anti-Semitic Insurrection?
The escalating violence associated with the yellow vest demonstrations, coupled with the ever-increasing incoherence of their political and social demands raises the question of whether France is facing insurrection. What is more worrying however, is that this popular rebellion is being used as a pretext for violence and, more dangerously, for antisemitism. Both have nothing […]
Returning Jihadists Should Be Tried For Crimes Against Humanity
Shamima Begum deserves, like all Jihadists, not a criminal court hidden somewhere in the centre of London, but one that reflects the universality of the crimes she supports. Europe faces a problem not only with migrants from worn-torn Islamic countries, but with returning Jihadists who, technically at least, are still European citizens. It’s an […]
