Sebastian Milbank has written an excellent piece in the Critic charting the descent of the University of Edinburgh into woke madness and how that spilled over in 'decolonial' antisemitic bile in the past week.

Once a city he adored, Edinburgh is now plagued by poor governance, unkempt streets and costly, ineffective public projects, says Dr Roger Watson.

A Lim Dem councillor has been suspended from Twitter after responding to a picture of a meeting of anti-Ulez campaigners by saying he would "happily fill the room with carbon monoxide". 😱

Tom Harris has written a blistering piece about Nicola Sturgeon’s reign of error as Scotland’s First Minister. The sheer scale of the SNP Government’s incompetence is breathtaking.

The University of Edinburgh's excruciatingly woke decision to cancel one of Scotland's greatest Enlightenment philosophers, David Hume, has led to a drop in donations to the university of £2 million.

If CNN can't even be bothered to check which city COP26 is in, how confident can we be that the broadcaster will check any other 'facts' it broadcasts about the 'Climate Breakdown'?

Unfortunately, Police Scotland was not following the science, as I will shortly reveal. Since arriving at university last Autumn, I’ve witnessed how parties halls of residence are invariably raided by campus security or police officers. Usually, it’s fellow students objecting to the sounds of revelry and loud music who then dob us in to the authorities. Aside from that, students have endured periods in quarantine when they or someone on their floor tests positive. When that happens, you're banned from leaving your rooms and fed packed ...
