If you have an appetite for a long read on the politics of sex and gender, and you want something that goes deeper than the culture war antics of libs vs neocons, give this a try this weekend. thenorthernstar.online/2025/09/12/tow…
The cancel culture of the right in full flood. The Trumpists taking their policy lead from the authoritarian left. The celebration of Kirk’s murder is disgusting. But the right to freedom of expression means the right to offend, or it means nothing. Vance’s Munich lecture to…
"The nation-state has been the ground on which Terf Island’s gender-critical feminists and sex realists have resisted the global influence of American queer transnationalism." @peteray21 on the national character of equal rights. thenorthernstar.online/2025/09/12/tow…
The emergence of bourgeois homosexuality, up to and including marriage equality, has been a total cultural victory. Much under-appreciated, however, is the nation-state’s centrality to this story. Smth for the ‘old school leftist’ TERF and “GayNotQueer” ppl to reflect on…

"Women’s rights are a national cause, and the partisans of women’s freedom have an interest in the strength of the political nation." @peteray21 on the connections between queer theory's war on women and globalism's war on the nation. thenorthernstar.online/2025/09/12/tow…
New on TNS. @peteray21 on the transnationalism of transgenderism and the nationalism of women's rights and gay rights. thenorthernstar.online/2025/09/12/tow…
"The flawed assumption shared by both Left and Right is that ethnonationalism offers an alternative to globalisation; the truth is that ethnonationalism is more a symptom of the decay of globalisation rather than a cure or response." @thephilippics latest on TNS:…
My latest for the Northern Star, a long read in which I argue why ethnonationalism is a dead end for Britain. Some core points: - ethnonationalism will recreate globalism - civic nationalism is insufficient - how we must nation-build thenorthernstar.online/2025/08/18/eth…
Interesting article. Long but raises some thought provoking points and ideas. Started off thinking it was largely bollocks and it doesn’t really offer solutions, only highlights problems; but that’s no bad thing. We are, as a nation, in trouble and l see no easy fixes.

Seeing the dwindling bands of masked-up uniparty thugs mounting counter-protests at the migrant hotels seems to me to reinforce the argument of this piece from earlier this year - the pernicious doctrine of anti-fascism really is ending, finally. thenorthernstar.online/2025/02/17/mun…
