There are some extremely controversial and offensive theories going around what some would describe as ‘New Age’ religions. This came to prominence recently when William Roache made an insensitive remark which was to do with karma inherited from past lives. Bill Roache is an actor I much admire for his Spiritual beliefs as well as […]
Yesterday was my 68th birthday, and my mother (aged 98) kept saying we should be doing something special. We had some drinks, cakes and chocolates, plus a meal. I don’t see what else we could have done really. Her lift is out of order for the next few weeks, so going out would have meant manhandling […]
Well they didn’t fool me or millions of others. In fact they didn’t fool French or German Intelligence, or British or American Intelligence. The program made clear that the decision to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime had been made and so-called ‘intelligence’ was made to fit the facts.

The pictures of him on this page remind us of when his mother walked thru minefields in Bosnia and Angola, and the chilling events which followed. She received phone threats to her life, identified one […]
The DPRK (North Korea) has again made threats against the ROK (South Korea) and the USA, including that of a pre-emptive nuclear strike. The response of heavy UN sanctions was accompanied by the U.S. spokesperson speaking of North Korea’s ‘illicit’ nuclear weapons. That’s rich, that’s very rich coming from the biggest nuclear weapons power in […]
The 1960s are often regarded as the watershed in pop music, culminating in the Flower Power and hippies of the latter part of that decade, ‘make love not war’ and the permissive society with the advent of The Pill, etc. In actual fact suggestive lyrics came long before the 1960s, first of all in so-called […]
