Analysis
Britain did not lose the Chagos Islands. It volunteered them away—paying billions for the privilege—only to watch the entire deal collapse when Washington noticed what London's lawyers had dismissed. It became a masterclass in institutional suicide.
Analysis
The British state has maintained continuous emergency planning for general strikes since 1919. Civil contingencies, stockpiles, military protocols—all for a weapon the working class has used precisely once. Why does Whitehall fear something unions barely remember how to wield?
Analysis
Secret police stations. Bounties on British residents. A consul-general filmed beating a protester on camera. And now: 208 basement rooms beneath the City's financial spine, with a wall to demolish one metre from our data cables. The Prime Minister's response? Approval—timed for his trip to Beijing.
Analysis
British taxpayers are now funding secret payoffs for MI6's complicity in torture so brutal it would break 98% of US special forces soldiers. The Foreign Office won't tell you how much. They won't apologise. And the man they helped torture remains caged without charge after twenty-three years.
Analysis
Britain's homelessness machine runs on good intentions and broken economics. We're warehousing families in B&Bs, propping up a collapsing social housing sector with £100bn of debt, and calling enforcement restraint "compassion" while rough sleeping has risen by 164% since 2010.
Analysis
Over three thousand Bills clogging the arteries of British democracy—and most of them deserve to die there. This doesn't even cover the latest stupidity, only what's on the books of Westminster. Starmer has already caved on EU travel, Chagos, the military, Northern Ireland, and more.
Analysis
Between 1995 and 2025, Britain managed to complete precisely zero nuclear reactors. Not one. This isn't a story about technology or physics—it's about a political class who chose managed decline over difficult decisions, and a civil service that lost the capacity to deliver anything except excuses.
Analysis
Britain's post-WWII welfare state didn't even make it 20 years before its mathematics collapsed. William Beveridge's arithmetic was a spreadsheet for a world that would vanish within a generation. Today, that system—or what's left of it—resembles a Ponzi scheme.
Analysis
A state-sponsored killer dies with £500,000. A secret court seals his will until 2095—the same protection given to royals. Taxpayers funded dozen of his murders for decades. Now they're forbidden from knowing where the money went. The British state's corruption is a deep, endless pit.
Analysis
Could antidepressants trigger school shootings? The hypothesis has biological plausibility—but the most comprehensive data show no correlation. More strikingly, the relationship runs backwards: communities experiencing shootings prescribe more antidepressants, not fewer.
Analysis
Britain took 400 years to build a charity sector focused on genuine need and rooted in local community. Tony Blair dismantled it in five years by quietly defining what it meant, and replaced it with something unrecognisable: a politicised US-style NGO fundraising network.
Analysis
A 2017 tax change forced companies to spread R&D deductions over 5 years instead of deducting immediately. This created phantom profits, unexpected tax bills, and destroyed startup cash flow—triggering 500,000+ tech layoffs before Congress finally reversed it in 2025.
