There has been remarkably little comment, where one might expect to see such comment, on the recent sacking of Mike Graham from TalkTV. Mike Graham was the channel’s anchorman, most recently presenting the early morning show Morning Glory. He was a courageous and experienced journalist who was not afraid to express his opinions and to […]

Europe’s Migratory Pressure Cooker I’m in Italy this week, which is no hardship. Slightly colder than I’d like but amply compensated by great food, great wine and beautiful women. Well, one woman in particular; gorgeous Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She may have the body of a weak and feeble woman (looks OK to me though)

It is hard to believe that James D. Watson, the Nobel Prize-winning co-discoverer of DNA’s structure, has died at 97 years old. Yet, it is equally astonishing that he was still with us for so long, given that the double-helical structure of DNA was established in 1953—two years before I was born. I am 70 years
The man cave is both real and virtual; it is a building in my garden, but it is also a state of mind. Thus, today, I find myself in the virtual man cave once again. I am on a train to London, one that passes through Doncaster. We have just had the copious ‘safety notices’

Eleven train passengers were seriously injured on Saturday night, on a line I use regularly between Doncaster and London (as of publication, five have been discharged and one remains in a life-threatening condition). I must say the fact I use that line and sometimes that very train really brings it home. I hope, whoever those

The older I get the less I see the point in changing the clocks twice a year. Peter Hitchens has been ahead of the curve on this one for years saying that the effect, especially of the clock going forward and losing that precious hour of sleep in Spring, is akin to jetlag and is

It is over a decade since the BBC questioned whether the Church of England was still the ‘Tory Party at prayer’. In 2014, reckoning that most English Anglicans voted Conservative, it concluded that it was. It is doubtful if that is still the case, so obsessed with minority rights, reparations and institutional racism is the

How can you release a migrant sex offender ‘in error’? Is it because they all look the same? It must be so easy to get confused if you are a prison officer. Perhaps, as Hadush Kebatu – an Ethiopian sex offender who was due for deportation – was being led to the prison doors, he was

One has been absent from the man cave for ten days and my reprinted column in these pages from the Daily Sceptic on 20 October provides some insight. Mrs Watson and I have been in the United States, first for a week in Missouri and then a weekend in Washington DC. This was my first

The United States of America is undergoing a rather brilliant innovation right now, a federal shutdown. Essentially, nothing that is run by the Government is functioning and indefinitely, as the Trump administration – currently in the fourth shutdown under Trump (a presidential record) – haggles with the opposition over the allocation of funds under the
