ANTI-COMMUNISM AS RUSSIA’S NATIONAL IDENTITY IS A ONE-EDGED SAW
By John Helmer, Moscow The end of the Soviet Union, and the election in 1991, then re-election in 1996 of Boris Yeltsin as President of the Russian Federation, are usually depicted in Russia as a kind of election defeat for the Communist Party as well as of leftwing, socialist or communist policy. Yeltsin’s destruction of […]

The “undefinitized contract action award” means that the Royal Bahraini Air Force will become the first operator of the most advanced and capable version of F-16 ever designed. *(This first appeared several months ago.)* Moreover, unlike previous versions of the F-16—which were built in Fort Worth, Texas—these new “... more »

Themes without variations
An earlier post looked at the first few episodes of podcast offshoot of the *Today *programme, *Beyond Today,* hosted by Tina Daheley and Matthew Price, and found them to be little different to the *Today *programme (except that, being aimed at a younger audience, Matthew Price was speaking more slowly and pretending not to know stuff, such how to pronounce the new Brazilian president's name). Overall, I thought that the themes - including fake news, hate speech, middle-class drug abuse and concerns about Instagram and WhatsApp - were very BBC/*Guardian*-type themes. The four s... more »

Balance? What balance?
Last night's *Newsnight *had a very 'Newsnight' balance of guests talking about the midterm elections in the US. It was a 'classic' 5:1 ratio - i.e. five critics of Mr. Trump's Republicans versus one supporter. The final pairing of guests, Simon Schama and David Frum (Mr. Trump's most vociferous critic on the right), was particularly 'inspired'' as they each agreed with each other about everything.
It's enough to make you start peering over the top of your glasses
So, Dame Jenni Murray has pulled out of a talk at Oxford University after three student groups called for her to be no-platformed because of her 'transphobic' views. She was intending to talk about 'Powerful British Women in History' (unsurprisingly), but some students wanted her 'publicly condemned' and 'if possible' for the event to be 'cancelled'. What a remarkable state of affairs - one of the most politically correct BBC presenters isn't politically correct enough for some Oxford University students and, thus, other Oxford University students won't get to hear her!

Labour and the "Left Behinds"
The joint Hope Not Hate/British Future report, *The National Conversation on Immigration* and its focus on "left behind" communities is to be welcomed, not least because it *isn't* the usual regurgitation of Blue Labour dogma.

You can read a précis here by Rose Carter, one of the report's authors. The conclusions are familiar. At the last election, Labour did best in metropolitan, socially liberal, and gr... more »
