Welcome to the Biggar Picture

For over a decade now I've been writing, not only five-hundred-page academic tomes, but hundred-word articles for a wide range of press outlets—the Financial Times, the Times, the Telegraph, the Church Times, Standpoint, the Spectator, The Critic, Prospect, Unherd, Quillette, Compact, the Herald (Glasgow), the Irish Times (Dublin), the National Post (Canada), First Things (US), the Straits Times (Singapore), and The Australian (Sydney).

The topics have ranged from military interventions in Kosovo and Syria, to war and international law in Gaza, nuclear weapons in Scotland, Scottish independence, a truth commission in Ireland, why Australians should retain the monarchy, why the House of Lords should not be elected, the policy of diverting illegal migrants to Rwanda, slavery reparations, the Culture Wars, colonialism, and the unwisdom of normalising assisted suicide.

The Biggar Picture will continue to range broadly, exploiting the greater length and depth that a Substack allows.

I have quite a lot I want to say to you all over the next few years, so expect frequent posts.

I kick off tomorrow, with a defence of the American Empire. I look forward to hearing your responses in the comments!
