By Simon Crane I was 21 in 1994 and looking back now, I don’t think it’s just nostalgia to say this. The Britain of the 1990s, flawed as it was, may well have been the last time the country properly worked for ordinary people. Not perfectly, but recognisably. Start with the basics. You could afford […]

Today we remember Kriss Donald, an innocent 15-year-old Scottish boy who was brutally kidnapped and murdered. Kriss was abducted from the street in broad daylight by a gang of five men of Pakistani origin, targeted explicitly because he was a white teenager from the area. The attack was racially motivated.
