Sorry, but SYRIZA

The radical Greek leftists, along with Hollande in France, pose as anti-austerity yet promote ideas which will condemn Europe to long-term penury.
Frank Furedi

ESSAY: Don’t be fooled by their egalitarian rhetoric - today’s equality campaigners simply dislike both the super-rich and ‘trailer trash’.

Nancy McDermott

Patrick Hayes

self-loathing in America

One of Homeland’s greatest strengths is that it shows how much modern terrorists now ape liberal Westerners.

Duleep Allirajah

It’s not just sex gangs who abuse ‘white trash’
It seems Pakistani sex pests and British politicians share a similar disdain for the allegedly decadent white working class.

Nathalie Rothschild

equal a bad parent

It should be no business of anti-bronzing health freaks whether ‘tan mum’ chooses to have a burnt-to-the-crisp complexion.

Luke Samuel
