Starts at about nine minutes 

Football attracts thugs? The police are useless? Well WHAT a surprise!

WE know what is wrong with Britain. But we still seem surprised about it. Are we too gormless to survive as a nation?

 

This is Peter Hitchens���s Mail on Sunday column

Did we really not already know that football attracts some of the nastiest people in the country, including racial bigots? 

Did we really not know that our police force, which has lived for years on a reputation won by others long ago, is a colossal, expensive failure in desperate need of reform?

Yet as a country we react wi...

PETER HITCHENS: If you think this is freedom, you've forgotten what life was once like

This is Peter Hitchens��� Mail on Sunday column

You may feel liberated if you like, but I do not. I can feel the forces of anti-liberation massing for another self-righteous regime of regulation and interference. 

We have had one Year of Living Gormlessly. I fear we now face at least one more. And in the Kingdom of the Gormless, the intelligent person is in trouble.

If you think this is freedom, you must just have forgotten what life in Britain was once like. 

There was once a time when you...

PETER HITCHENS: I had a near-miss with an idiot on an e-scooter. You may not be so lucky

This is Peter Hitchens��� Mail on Sunday column

I was walking to the post office when it happened. Heading straight for me, totally against the law, on the pavement and going at some speed, was a grown man on an electric scooter. 

He assumed I would make way. Wrong person. I tried to block his path but he simply swerved round me and rode on, scattering others as he went. It would be an understatement to say that he was not embarrassed.

This was in an area of London which is, unusually, full ...

This won't be popular... but our Navy's Black Sea antics were stupid

This is Peter Hitchens���s Mail on Sunday column

People often accuse me of being a ���Populist��� because some of the things I say are popular. Well, today I am going to be an Unpopulist. I think the Royal Navy���s antics in the Black Sea last week were little short of crazy.

I struggle to find a parallel that would be as mad. You need several things: a place where the Navy involved has no good reason to be, thousands of miles from its normal habitat; a quarrel in which that Navy���s country ...

PETER HITCHENS: Now even this North Korean warns we're being brainwashed!

This is Peter Hitchens��� Mail on Sunday column

The most bitterly funny story of the week is that a defector from North Korea thinks that even her homeland is ���not as nuts��� as the indoctrination now forced on Western students.
Yeonmi Park fled from the Hermit Kingdom when she was just 13, and endured horrible things during her escape. Eventually, she reached South Korea. But she thought she had truly begun a new life when, in 2016, she transferred to Columbia University in New York City, o...
