Brilliant
Eloquent well written and informative with a clear understanding of the geopolitical forces at play. A bastion of incisiveness in the discourse of an ever more polarized world
The Spectator World
Published by: The Spectator (1828)
Description
The Spectator's mission is to entertain, inform, delight and infuriate our readers. From politics to culture, current affairs to reviews, a wide range of topics are intelligently commented on daily and in our monthly magazine.
The Spectator was established in 1828 in Britain. In 2018, after a mere 190 years, we launched our US edition, with the goal of bringing the same insight, original thought and writing to an American audience.
We hold no party line; our only allegiance is to clarity of thought, elegance of expression and independence of opinion. Our writers opinions range from left to right, their circumstances vary. We do not strive for impartiality — our motto is ‘firm, but unfair’ — but for originality and style.
"At last Britain’s foremost periodical, first published 1828, brings the English language to America. Here is the native tongue of wit, learning, and sense — wise rather than wised-up, clever but not too clever by half, and humorous in a way that answers to every humor including blood, phlegm, and bile of diverse colors. Civilized reading for barbarous times."
-P.J. O'Rourke on The Spectator
"You can go to hell—you and your irrelevant rag."
-Sebastian Gorka

"A fantastic magazine."
-Tucker Carlson

Useless App, can’t sign in
i’m a subscriber trying to use this app on iphone and cannot sign in, the option to sign in takes you nowhere and does absolutely nothing. i miss having an andriod, but somehow i doubt that would fix the issue, which is that this app does not work on its most basic and fundamental level. How hard is it to fix the most important feature in your app???!!!!!
Terrible
App won’t accept my subscription. Keeps telling me to log in through a one time use email… which I do, to no effect. It’s a good publication but terrible IT.
Great publication, awful app
Great publication, terrible app. None of the latest articles show up. Today I’m seeing older articles than I was yesterday. Everything I see today is from weeks ago. Have to go through the mobile site to see anything new. What is the deal with this app?
Great writing but…
The app on my iphone doesn’t allow me to login to my account. I get an email access link sent but it never logs me in. Also, I like the articles but the reader comment section is heavily moderated. If you were to post a comment implying that Kissinger or Soros are British assets in response to an article or other reader’s comment, and post links to sourcing, you would find that the comment wouldn’t last more than few minutes before being removed. Implying that either is CIA, and the comment gets a pass. Makes one wonder.
Login
The worst login system I have ever dealt with
Kludgy and buggy
Not off to a good start when it takes ten attempts to sign in before the app finally works. Lots of room for improvement on the simple basics that the app needs to do correctly.
Perusing for the first time
After a cursory look around the latest edition of this magazine it looks to me like there might be someone(s) in the media still willing to think
Great publication, terrible app
I hate to give this two stars, but this app has some really frustrating bugs. First, it’s really hard to see recent stories. Why do the webpage and app versions differ so much? Where is all the content shown on the site? Second, if I turn off the screen the article I was reading reloads and goes back to the top and I lose where I was. No other reading app I use does this.
Great reporting as usual
Hey Amber…great reporting as usual! This topic will increase in importance and your submission only reinforces that fact. I read your new book, keep up the great work! Chad (SC Native)
