I can best explain my temporary absence from these pages by saying that I agreed to write a ‘short’ book during January – ‘short’ meaning 16,000 words – which is roughly 4 months’ worth of weekly articles for this highly worthy magazine.

The point of my new book is to explain why virtually all of the established tenets of post-modernism – which in reality is just a polite verbal cover-up for neo-Marxism – are basically disastrous not just for ‘our’ Western civilisation in general but more specifically for people like us.
