Instead we must see these murderers and extremists as what they are- products of a sadly well-cultivated climate of extreme bigotry and hatred, fuelled by an organised international fascist tendency. Make no mistake, this is exactly what happened in the 1930s, when papers like the Daily Mail constantly attacked Jews...
Climate targets seem sensible, but are actually impeding effective action. Let’s do something completely different. The crisis is not imminent. The crisis is here. The recent infernos in Australia, the storms and floods in Brazil, Madagascar, Spain and the US, the economic collapse in Somalia, caused in part by a devastating cycle of droughts and floods,...
I am not a scientist. I do not understand bio chemistry. I have no comprehension of what it takes to stop becoming a caring person who abandons what the German sociologist Max Weber called 'verstehen'. It must surely take some kind of acute trauma to make the transition from...

TruePublica Editor: There is genuine hatred for Dominic Cummings – without doubt the most toxic character a sitting government has had to defend. But without Cummings, the man who illegally used data systems designed for post battlefield propaganda campaigns to win ‘hearts and minds’ in war-torn countries – the...

Let’s Nuke the Virus

Governments attend to imaginary threats, while neglecting real ones. We are defending ourselves against the wrong threats. For decades, UK governments have been fighting not just the last war, but a redundant notion of war, spending hundreds of billions against imaginary hazards. At the same time, as we have become...
