Here’s a word that deserves to be better-known: cratology. It means the study of power. Who has power? How is it exercised and extended? How is it protected? These are dangerous topics, because one way to protect power is to forbid criticism of the powerful. The best scientists win Nobel prizes. The best cratologists win […]
To understand the present, study the past. The Bolshevik Revolution is a good place to start. This is what the Russian writer Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) said about the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924): Lenin is a gifted man who has all the qualities of a leader, including these essential ones: lack of morality and […]

UKIP has won a landslide victory in the south of England. It also came within just over 600 votes of winning a formerly safe Labour seat in the north. Both the Tories and Labour are running scared. They’re paying the price for ignoring public anger about immigration. The old accusation of “Racism!” isn’t working any […]
In Jewish folklore, a Golem is a monster that escapes the control of the magician who created it. The politician George Galloway is a bit like that.
