Fertility
What else that cost as much as IVF but which had such a failure rate – frankly, it doesn’t work – would be available on the NHS? Add to that the fact that each year, 80 women who have become pregnant through IVF have abortions. Read that one over again. Back in March 2009, even [...]

Mehdi Hasan writes: What’s that I hear? The sound of a consensus cracking? Since 4.50pm on Satuday 25 September 2010, commentators on the right and on the so-called “centre” of the political spectrum have queued up to dismiss Ed Miliband as a lightweight, a cipher, a left-wing loon, “Red Ed”, who would consign Labour to [...]

Fr Ray Blake writes: The diocese of Shrewsbury have made their “Justice and Peace” Coordinator redundant. I am very pro-J and P, God is Just, I’m very pro-God, I go along with the “give a man a fish…” and the “I feed the hungry, they call me Christian, I ask why he is hungry they call me [...]

There was no Keynesian closed shop among economists in the 1970s. But those who screamed themselves to prominence on the claim that there was have now created a neoliberal closed shop with the catastrophic consequences that we now experience. We shall continue to experience it while almost the only economics taught to undergraduates or published [...]

Ed West writes: I don’t know about you, but if there’s any sight that can lift my spirits it’s that of George Osborne celebrating Chelsea’s Champions League Win over Bayern Munich. Osborne and the megabucks Russian oligarch-owned team of multi-millionaire superstars, captained by John Terry. You’d have to be a replicant not to be moved. [...]

Of course he did not do it, at least not on his own. But that was beside the point.

The website of the Henry Jackson Society is still publishing calls for war against Russia in aid of her “dissidents”, without any exploration of who and what those dissidents are; so much for conservatives from Richard Nixon to Edward Norman. That website is still berating “Arab liberals” for turning out not to have been members [...]

Whose son and biographer, Mark K. Shriver, has asked me to promote this. I am delighted to do so. Kennedy brother-in-law, McGovern running mate, Peace Corps and Special Olympics founder, America First Committee stalwart, and pro-life Catholic. Now, that was a Democrat.
