Ann Widdecombe:

"No one has the right to live their lives being protected from offence or hurt feelings - it is an occupational hazard of living in a society. If you can't take it, become a hermit."

May she forever rest in peace.

Composed in 1638, Allegri’s Miserere was originally intended to only be sung during Holy Week, and to never leave the Sistine Chapel in order to preserve the mystery of the music. Here it is performed by St Paul’s Cathedral Choir.

Melanie Phillips delivers a chilling diagnosis of the West's intellectual crisis: Ideology has replaced knowledge, and reason itself is under siege.

Key points from her clip:
* Modern orthodoxies (multiculturalism, lifestyle equivalence, etc.) are treated as absolute moral goods.

* Challenge them → you're not just wrong; you're evil, standing against human/planetary betterment.

* Dissent must be silenced: no platform, no debate, no hearing.

* Evidence contradicting the ideology is dismissed as lies or "not facts."

* Universities—once crucibles of reason—are now engines destroying it, while claiming moral superiority.

* Result: Civil discourse dies. Replaced by insult weaponized to shut people down.

This isn't just about politics—it's the erosion of objective truth, evidence-based reasoning, and the ability to disagree without demonization.

We're witnessing the destruction of reason itself.

4:37 clip laying bare how ideology has become inimical to rationality 👇

When ideology trumps evidence and disagreement becomes "evil," what survives of open society?

Where do you see this dynamic strongest right now—in academia, media, politics, or everyday life?

And so to this week’s reluctant star of the show: The Princess Royal

< Princess Anne has done it all, not just with forbearance but with interest and enthusiasm.>

<She was born, as someone put it to me recently, the “sparest of spares”, a woman in a man’s world who was not an archetypal princess but had to be one anyway.>

That she has made a success of it is remarkable.

<She is a study, should any passing Dukes be interested, in how to find a contented life in a supporting role. Graft over grift; substance over style, and - dare I say it - boring old handshakes over headlines. >
