I hope these absurdities have not invaded all departments at King’s College London, at least not to this degree.

King's College London has abandoned academic standards entirely with its new marking guidelines, declaring objectivity to be racist and oppressive. It has ceased to be a university, says Professor Michael Rainsborough. dailysceptic.org/2025/11/19/kin…

Ivan Yates says it would be “outrageous and won’t be accepted” if politicians try to regulate podcasts and “decide what another group can say.” He says there’s a “huge alienation with the mainstream media and podcasts are filling the gap.”

My new book, The Polycentric Republic: A Theory of Civil Order for Free and Diverse Societies, has just come out with Routledge. If you think the modern State is no longer fit for purpose, and are looking for an alternative approach, you might find this an interesting read...
