UK voters will go to the polls in the next 12 months. Conservatives have held office since 2010, but Simon Heffer doubts they’ll convince voters one more time. Writing in The New Criterion, Heffer asserts that a decade-plus of incompetence and mostly self-inflicted wounds have disgusted Brits of all stripes. And now come the engineers of Brexit – Nigel Farage and the Reform Party – to nail the lid on the Conservative coffin.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
