Anti-vaxxers have made me lose faith in the political right Opinion
As someone who has generally identified as a conservative, I’m beginning to lose patience with right-wing politics. There are too many people behaving like they are members of a cult in opposing Covid vaccines.

I just graduated from a British university. They’re broken Opinion
Higher education in the UK is not about broadening the mind, it is about indoctrination and ideological compliance that crushes intellectual development and debate. It needs shaking up, badly.

Social justice warriors are woke Western imperialists and just as arrogant and patronising as the colonisers of the 18th Century Opinion
Liberals exporting critical race theory and transgender activism across the world are no different to the missionaries and soldiers who colonised the world in the name of the crown. They just have different sacred texts.

The West can learn much from China but it needs to learn it fast if it doesn't want to be surpassed culturally and economically Opinion

The Emmys were too white? Oh please, give up this obsession with people’s skin colours and concentrate on talent Opinion
As a person of colour, I want to win awards for the work I do - not because of the colour of my skin. White actors walked away with all the major awards not because of discrimination, but due to their performances.

The culture in the grip of Instagram influencers can ruin lives and Facebook knows it. It’s time someone took responsibility Opinion
Social media stars seem to pay little attention to how influencer culture can affect other people’s lives. So it is with Facebook, which, it’s been revealed, knows its photo-sharing app Instagram is “toxic” for teen girls.

The media either portrays immigration as innately good or intrinsically bad, but the reality is far more complicated Opinion
The right stokes fears around immigration, and the left refuses to acknowledge that it has any drawbacks. The truth is that immigration is both inevitable and occasionally problematic, but nuance doesn't sell papers.

We need open and honest discussion about the pros and cons of vaccine mandates, not the hysterical shouting match we have now Opinion
Vaccines are a medical miracle. Vaccine mandates are also a massive infringement on personal choice. We need a proper and public cost benefit analysis to work out the best way forward; instead, we just have tribal yelling.

What is the problem with most social media activism? It's ill-informed, changes nothing and oversimplifies complex issues Opinion
