'THE OUTLAW IS A CAN OPENER IN THE SUPERMARKET THAT IS LIFE'
Today, Saturday, 19 May 2018, is a rare day indeed. It is a day when it is perfectly acceptable to fly the Union Flag. As many as you want. It is also perfectly acceptable to be English, or to be British and to be seen as being proud to be so. It is also acceptable, even encouraged on this day, to promote British traditions, British Achievements and British History, and everything else that goes with being British, whatever that entails.

Even if you have forgotten about the proven lies told by Tony Blair and the British and US Government’s about Saddam Hussein’s ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’. Even if you have forgotten that on two occasions, the United States tried to frame Assad for “Gassing his own people” in 2013 and 2014. Even if you have forgotten that President Assad actually surrendered all his chemical weapons some time ago, a FACT confirmed by both the Pentagon and the United Nations. Would it […]

“I’m Gonna Keep Fightin’ for What I Believe Is Right” Twelve years ago today, December 22nd 2002, I took a phone call that told me that Joe Strummer had passed away. He was just fifty years old and had died suddenly of a rare heart condition while at home with his family in Broomfield, Somerset. I lost something that day, Joe had been a constant companion in my life since the late 1970’s when I first heard ‘White Riot’ played […]

I have been spending some time going through the work of historians Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. Among it, there was a reference to a story, that Jesus Christ may have survived the crucifixion, and been smuggled out of Jerusalem into Western Britain by Joseph of Arimathea and others, around AD 37 As Christianity is built entirely upon little or no physical evidence, it is notoriously, (or purposely) difficult to ‘prove’ or ‘disprove’ that Jesus Christ the man, actually existed.

Diego Garcia seems to have been very prominent in the news recently. The location was allegedly programmed into the flight simulator that was removed from the home of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the pilot of the missing Malaysian Airliner MH-370. Theories are flying around the internet that the airliner was somehow diverted to this location and is being held for some, as yet undisclosed purpose. It’s certainly appears to be large enough to accommodate an airliner of this size. So […]

There are times when it’s almost impossible to use the truth alone to crack a lie, even an obvious one, head-on. You have to try and get behind it, to try and fight it in a different way. When it comes to writing about events in Israel for example, it’s nearly impossible to be even the slightest bit critical without attracting abuse, threats and getting labelled as often quoted, ‘Anti-Semite‘ or even ‘Jew Hating Nazi.’ *Oddly, the dictionary defines a […]

Is there a medically, or clinically, recognised diagnosis of ‘False Memory Syndrome’? The concept was invented in the USA by the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF), a group of ‘accused parents’ – mainly fathers – whose adult daughters had confronted them about sexual abuse in childhood. Having created this fictional concept of ‘false memory’ to defend themselves against these allegations, this group then went on to sell it to the media. The concept was imported to Britain from the US […]

The Partition of India was the last act of the British Raj. It led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, but it was not the worst disaster to hit India in the 1940s. That dubious honour goes to the Bengal Famine of 1942-4, which left over a million dead. It was a famine that happened with full knowledge of Britain and directly disputes the claim by the British that their ‘rule’ had eliminated famine from India. In […]
