When those of us who were enraged by the scandal that was the Tavistock Clinic and its wholesale and unaccountable distribution of puberty-blockers to very young children pointed out that this was an experiment without a control group, we didn’t mean that they should go and run one. But that is precisely what is going […]

Once again, the man cave is in Italy. I wanted to title this one in Italian, to show how cultured and cosmopolitan I am, but apparently, there is no direct equivalent of ‘man cave’ in Italian. The nearest I could get was Dall’uomo delle caverne, meaning ‘from the caveman’, which I take as a compliment.

It has finally arrived, all thousand-plus pages of it: the second UK Covid-19 Inquiry Report. Years in the making, tens of millions of pounds in cost, and delivering exactly what it was constructed to deliver. Not truth, not accountability, not a sober assessment of what happened, but a carefully curated political document in which the conclusions were pre-determined

One is back in Blighty and freezing one’s nuts off in the man cave. The temperature has dropped, and an ‘Orange Weather Alert’ was issued last night to ensure that we all knew that it was going to be cold. Seems that the government and their perpetual mouthpiece the BBC, seem to think that nobody

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
