Epilogue to a friendship
April 7, 2021
I had been invited to lunch with an old friend with whom there is no more common ground. Despite all my efforts to explain that I will no longer be censored, she extends yet another invitation, cannot address specific issues, uses words without substance, and remains in her safe space. Such is the mindset of the left.
I could not overlook the sincerity of her many overtures for lunch and renewed friendship, which is why I decided to write at length not only as a courtesy but to lay bare our crucial differences. She believed we could maintain a friendship despite our ideas, and I didnt see that possibility. She votes for the destruction of my country, for a sellout to China, to welcome losing our individual freedoms, and for the numerous hate-spewing antisemites that the democrats (Pelosi, et al) put into powerful positions, the most renowned being Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and AOC.
In the heat of the culture wars we have lost our moral compass
Our institutions now view every problem in Britain through the same lens as the radical Left

One of the sickest aspects of Britain’s culture war is that the Left accuses the Right of starting each battle. Yet the reality is that from cancel culture to the denigration of British history, from gender fluidity to the racialisation of almost everything, it is always the Left firing the first shots.
“But what about flags?” scoff Left-wing culture warriors. “You can’t see ministers these days without a Union Flag behind them.” But this only proves the point. The Tories have realised that flying the flag sends their opponents into paroxysms of fury, and this suits Conservative electoral objectives. Yet recall pictures of past Labour leaders with the flag, like Attlee and Wilson, and you see that it is the Left that has changed, not the Conservatives and not the country.

Just as the likes of the great conservative Justice Clarence Thomas â the only Black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court â are often left out of mentions of Black History Month in February, so too, are many conservative women often ignored during Womenâs History Month in March.
The media and entertainment industries tend to downplay many of the contributions made by outstanding trailblazing women â if they also happen to hold conservative viewpoints. The left regularly dismisses such women as less worthy of recognition and role modeling, and in doing so, leaves out a significant part of history from âwomenâs history.â
