WORLD REVIEWS

A global archive of independent reviews of everything happening from the beginning of the millennium

Read sequentially the listed reviews develop a coherent conservative philosophy for the second decade of the millennium (with obviously many exceptions in the more pluralistic second series from 2012).

The series have, on many occasions, introduced ideas into public debate, as can be verified by looking at how other media treated these ideas before and after the first publication dates.

A few artistic and other memes are set running, too.

It is a snapshot of Britain and beyond in the first decades of the millennium.

First publication dates are given as the reviews are at times subject to minor alterations and additions which are not logged.
