Tackling obesity with healthy lifestyles task force | Alex Brown
The key to making Britain’s children healthier is found in encouraging a positive attitude towards exercise; and ensuring that this is integrated into the school curriculum of our young people.
Could CANZUK afford Britain cultural and economic security in times of vulnerability and multipolarity? | Laura Sánchez Pérez
CANZUK could act decisively using collective diplomatic clout spanning three continents with extensive global support, without being encumbered by the EU’s bureaucratic impotence or the corrupting effect of Chinese wolf warrior diplomacy on the UN member-states. For too long, Britons took for granted that the United States would protect the Western world order – and much more importantly – help Britain protect and advance its interests on the international stage.
The state of, and solutions to, Britain’s social housing crisis | Adam James Pollock
An increase in the number of council houses and other social housing is a positive thing towards which the government must aspire, it would furthermore simply not be enough to neglect quality in favour of quantity. Where we live, not just our home, but our street, our neighbourly community, affects everyone around us, having a fundamental impact on the quality of life of everyone whom it comes into first-, second-, and even beyond third-hand contact with.
Life or obscurity - the European choice | OC Comment
As the French sociologist Auguste Comte proclaimed: “Demography is Destiny”. And if we are to look at Europe through a demographic lens, its destiny is grim indeed. With fertility rates plummeting due to the spread of abortion, with the nuclear famirely ripped apart by the forces of postmodern activism, with the vilification of traditional gender roles by third-wave feminism, Europe stands on the brink of demographic extinction.
Conservative compromises, compromised conservatives | OC Comment
We have seen that so-called “Conservative” parties have done a poor job indeed of actually conserving anything. It has got to the point where thinking of a single political issue, especially in the social arena, where the Conservative platform nowadays isn’t a carbon-copy of the progressive platform 20 years ago is rather difficult. If an accurate campaign slogan were necessary, I’d say “Progressive, but Late” is a much more apt description for any mainstream conservative party in the West.
Social liberalism, fiscal “conservatism” | Sam George
Since the Conservative Party’s successful reelection in 2010, the last decade has been steeped in a mire of promises surrounding the creation of a liberal society with a conservative budget… Against the promises to eliminate the deficit - it has grown; against the promises to balance the books - they have distanced further; against the promises to organise the budget - it is yet more chaotic. That is part of the reasoning behind a growing interest in social, as well as economic, conservatism.
Abortion - an inconsistency about innate human worth | Alexander Ruggles
So any acceptance of the aforementioned scientific fact that life begins at conception and the recognition of the moral truth of human life having innate worth underlines that abortion both violates and is inconsistent with an individual’s inherent right to life. Their dependency, rather than being a reason to infringe on their basic human right to life, should instead be seen to create a moral responsibility for other individuals to safeguard, protect, and uphold that individual's absolute right to life from its very conception.
The illegal immigration crisis on the Channel and the action it requires | Dan Mikhaylov
This year, an equivalent of the population of Lossiemouth will arrive on Britain’s shores illegally. No matter how one perceives Nigel Farage’s recent exposure of asylum seekers being consistently lodged in four-star hotels, it is unsettling that some of those prospective applicants arrive by illicit means and could pose not just an economic and national security threat, but also a sanitary one given the COVID-19 pandemic. Worse still, these individuals are more often than not accommodated in British communities without those communities’ assent to this practice.
Social counter-reform | Dan Mikhaylov
We are exposed to these consequences of socio-cultural implosion in the streets and at work, and cannot be ignorant or turn a blind eye to this process of internal disfigurement… Therefore, our action must also be explicit, and not implicit, to safeguard what remains of Britain’s social cohesion, to reverse the tide. At this stage, two options are available to traditionalists: intransigent insistence on the past, and pragmatic counter-reform.
