Gareth Roberts pronounces the 250,000 fellow citizens who’ve fled Britain since Labour’s election “wimps”. The escapees, Roberts notes in Spiked, are missing “a buffet of black comedy gold” – like the current alliance of transgenderism and radical Islam. While Roberts evokes Noël Coward’s advice to “laugh at everything,” in that particular case it might not really be the best medicine.

Reversing Industrial Suicide
Following the loss of 5 million U.S. industrial jobs from 2000 through 2017, Joel Kotkin in Spiked writes of the growing consensus – alone among Western countries, and despite the U.S. left’s hatred of Donald Trump – to revive America’s industries by “reshoring” manufacturing. Today, writes Kotkin, even some of the famously globalist “tech bros” are opening new facilities back home to manufacture tangible, advanced products. One sign of success: China is measurably bleeding in its manufacturing output.
