  • Profile: Boris Johnson

    Boris Johnson is a larger than life figure in UK politics. He’s occupied many political offices and has worked “behind the scenes” as it were in the journalism industry for a wide array of conservative titles.

    He began his employment at The Times in 1987 before moving to The Daily Telegraph as its reporter in Brussels to cover what was the European Commission at the time. He’s since written for and edited The Spectator, a leading conservative title in the UK.

    His television work made him a star in the UK and brought his characteristic wit and style of commentary to a wider audience. His appearances on the BBC show Have I Got News For You jettisoned a relatively new Johnson into the political stratosphere.

    In 2001 he found his first political success after winning the election for MP of Henley, a constituency in Oxfordshire. He’s since been elected Mayor of London twice, and MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip. He was appointed Foreign Secretary under Theresa May in 2016 and became Prime Minister in 2019.

    He is a writer at heart and his publications extend beyond his own life and times to works of a historical nature. In particular he’s written about London, Rome, and Brussels throughout his works.

    The key moments in his life centre on controversies. He’s the author of his own due to multiple failed marriages. He was also at the centre of the storm of the Brexit referendum in 2016, having campaigned for the Leave vote. Lastly, his Premiership was beset by the Covid pandemic and brought him intense criticism and scrutiny of his style of leadership.

  • Is the BBC failing?

    The British Broadcasting Corporation is an institution with a long history in the UK. Its beginnings stretch back to the 1920’s when television and radio were just coming into their own as mediums of mass communication.

    However, its contemporary relevance is said to be beginning to slide. This is due, according to naysayers, to streaming and the ability to request a video over the Internet for less money and more pleasure.

    The schedule of the BBC leaves little room for manoeuvre with this argument. Albeit it has a wide array and varied selection of tastes, its modus operandi is a lot more expensive and lot less expansive.

    This of course is because the UK is a much smaller canvass than anyone anywhere, and its remit is to serve the public and not just broadcast anything. Its relevance is piecemeal rather than targeted, as it were.

    The effort to create programming for anyone who chooses with a remote control is challenging. It limits the reach of researchers and creates a remit that is more speculative than based on immediate feedback.

  • British army or British barmy?

    Our confidence in the militaries of the West may need a review.

    This is according to the results of a survey of over 4,500 adults in the UK published by YouGov, which found just 9% believe Ukraine have the advantage over Russia.

    The stats are even worse in the case of Russia who have the confidence of 27% of the UK population. This is an abysmal result.

    Any requests for more funding by the British Army may need to include a budget for new marketing materials, perhaps.

  • Riots explode in the UK

  • Exposed: Supreme Court plot

    In a sensational story for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a suspect alleged to be seeking to disrupt the activities of the Supreme Court in the UK has been located.

    He was seen loitering with an unknown person outside the Court late this afternoon. He took photos of the building itself and of the other person who stood in front of the doors to pose.

    In security circles he’s known as a “Usurper”, which is a name given to those who seek to target a structure of particular high importance. In this instance it’s the UK’s highest court situated in London.

  • World exclusive: Protest leader caught

    In a world exclusive for ConservativeNewsSite.com, a protest leader long a fugitive in the UK has been relocated.

    The suspect is alleged to be founder and leader of “Vega!”, an anti-monarchist rural collective that seeks to disrupt and cause disturbance across the UK.

    In the last year strange activity has been attributed to the activities of “Vega!”, including sightings of PMC-type military vehicles, one near London and the other in Henley-on-Thames.

    They also have a track record of hiding in the North of the country, where they’ve planned multiple failed attempts to take over military sites in the UK.

    Their operatives have been spotted loitering in London, and the whereabouts of the girlfriend of the pictured activist have also been established as Berkshire.

  • Caught: Street harasser

    In a stunning capture for ConservativeNewsSite.com, an alleged street harasser can now be exposed.

    This suspect is under suspicion of disrupting pedestrian traffic in the UK.

  • Trump’s Truth Social

    The fact Donald Trump owns a social media network makes this election in America a lot more precarious.

    It means Trump effectively has control over a network that counts as a source of and potential platform for journalism.

    It makes it different because potentially his users are not subject to the same censorship as they are on X, for example, where his supporters get cancelled.

    The fact of cancellation as it is doesn’t worry some in the liberal press but it’s an anomaly elsewhere.

    The fact is most of the world’s connected population use social media. This is according to Statista, who say over 5 billion people use social media across the world.

    This figure is just shy of the nearly 5.5 billion who use the Internet.

    It’s a remarkable figure and proportion of total usage, and speaks of the use and value of social media as seen across the world.

    Trump is on the cutting edge of seeing not just the dollar value but the social import of a social media network.

    Its actual influence over an election however is a different matter.

  • Caught: Harasser

    A Londoner suspected of extreme harassment has been spotted on a London tube train.

    Her activities are alleged to have taken place entirely in the city.

  • Caught: London Murderers

    Today, two people suspected of murder were spotted in London.

    Their identities are kept discrete for safety reasons, but their suspected activities are well-known.

    In times past they’ve been under accusation of abandoning crime scenes.

  • Paedo caught on camera

    A paedophile has been caught loitering on a street corner in Primrose Hill, London.

    He is already known to police sources, but this type of crime is notoriously difficult to prosecute in some circumstances.

  • World exclusive: Int. criminal caught

    In a stunning development, an internationally wanted man has been located in London.

    He was seen on an underground transport network, and was seated with an accomplice.

    The suspect is wanted for his criminal activities by law enforcement agencies across the world.

  • A trafficking nightmare

    The early years of dealing with traffickers prove to be difficult regardless of effort or circumstances. The later years (if it continues) are not necessarily going to be easier.

    In fact, things may deteriorate.

    In our experience, in the UK, we’ve seen it from all angles. The initial response to it was fierce, but there were hard facts to deal with.

    The first is the initial plan had been averted, and plan B enacted at the English Channel, but plan A had been to take command of an airport terminal in the UK and run the operation here.

    This initiative was nipped in the bud, but it presented an immediate rallying cry among law enforcement because of its potentiality to cause widespread disruption.

    There is no question airport terminals cannot be used for illegal activities of any kind, but this brazen plan to do so revealed we have a serious flaw in our way of thinking here.

    The problem is we aren’t suspicious enough, sometimes.

    The issues that emerged after 9/11 and controversy over simple checks and balances at airports can run over into acrimony, but it’s not helpful if other threats are made.

  • Harris edges out Trump

    The American election is hotting up, with Biden out the way and Harris out in front. She leads her Republican opponent by 3 points, according to Redfield and Wilton Strategies.

    Her running mate, Tim Walz, has a 35% favourability rating among Americans. Her decision to run with him has landed her headlines and a bounce among Democrats, according to reports.

    However, they fall either side of typical dividing lines. It looks Trump is a clear winner on issues he talks about, and likewise Harris. It’s apparent the stump is the place to be in this election cycle.

  • World exclusive: Royal kidnapper
