Reading Time: 6 minutes. Abhorrent Racist: Qui, Moi? The Leader of the Labour Party in Scotland is Mr Anas Sarwar; he’s a Muslim, as a matter of fact. In August 2019, Mr Sarwar labelled me “an abhorrent racist” which several newspapers at the time, including ‘The National’ (the Scottish nationalists’ news organ of choice), made […]
HRH PRINCE PHILIP | MY VERY MODEST CONNECTION TO THE MAN
As a teenager I aspired to join the British armed forces. In 1973, when I was 16 years old, I went to Royal Air Force Biggin Hill to do what was then called a ‘Test in Advance’. After several days of mental and physical tests I was told that I had the potential to be […]

COVID-19 | A MORAL MAZE
Pressure is mounting to enforce the lockdown-equivalent of super-gluing every citizen in the land to their living room sofa to prevent us all from dying of COVID-19.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH | WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO POLICE YOUR OPINIONS?
At the end of last year, I had a business consulting contract summarily terminated by a British management consultancy, PA Consulting; I was working as a sub-contractor. It transpired that I’d had my contract terminated not for any professional or disciplinary reasons; instead, I was to all intents and purposes fired for my political views. […]
