The Land Where Everything is Policed Except Crime

Whilst a suspected virus pummels Steyn HQ - and, in lieu of our usual Wednesday Clubland Q&A - we will instead go back five years to the time when a suspect virus was used as a pretext to pummel the world into submission. From the introduction: Welcome to an audio special of The Mark Steyn Show – this time going across Britain (with a jaunt elsewhere in the Commonwealth) looking at the most standout Brit Wanker Coppers of the Day from episodes past. This anthology takes us far and wide, from London's Metropolitan police and the Bedfordshire police to the Lancashire police and an honorary wanker copper from Quebec's Sûreté. Lurking in the shadows, criminalizing birthday serenades, and policing one's trousers are all within the purview of ...

Topical Take

Vacationing in Someone Else's Despair

The following review appeared in The New Criterion twenty years ago. It could be written today... The latest ill-advised West End compilation show is My Name Is Rachel Corrie, at the Royal Court. Miss Corrie did not sing or dance or front a rock group; rather, she was a young American lady crushed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza two years ago. But, like Queen and Rod Stewart, she left a back catalogue – miscellaneous writings, from her Fifth Grade "Press Conference on World Hunger" back in Olympia, Washington ("I'm here because I care") to the e-mails she sent home from the Palestinian territories ("Today I tried to learn to say 'Bush is a tool', but I don't think it translated quite right"). Alan Rickman, star of stage and screen, and ...

A Clubman's Notes

Les feuilles mortes

Welcome to Part Six in our new audio adaptation of a favourite book among Steyn readers: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Thank you for all your kind comments about my first ever self-narration of this prescient tome. Chris, a New York member of The Mark Steyn Club, writes: I cannot remember if my copy of America Alone had that fantastic review blurb at the top from the Saudi Ambassador 'The arrogance of Mark Steyn knows no bounds'. Only MS would turn that into a rave review. It was the cover designer who put that in, Chris - just as a placeholder until the editor sent him some blurb from Mark Levin or Michelle Malkin or whoever he'd managed to extract one from. But they sent the artwork to me for approval and I liked ...
