A former British Army Chief of Staff was interviewed on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme last week, about the woeful state of the British Armed Forces. He said that when he commanded a battle group – of which there were several at that time – he had more men and more firepower at his […]

Like a heavyweight boxer approaching the ring – an apt analogy given the way the evening ended – after a fifteen-minute delay due to people still arriving at the Hull Arena, the man himself entered the auditorium. Coming in from the back, surrounded by minders with cameras flashing and some suitably stirring music over the
Amidst so much gloom and doom in the UK right now, with the economy nose-diving, cold damp weather and gazing longingly across the Atlantic where so much good sense is being enacted within the USA, we need to make the best of the occasional glimmers of hope that flicker in our land. It struck me
In the space of a twenty minute car journey the other night I wondered, listening to the evening news on BBC Radio 4, if I had in fact missed the news and was listening to a new 6:30pm comedy show. Two items in a row suggested that to me. Either that, or the world has

My first (and long overdue) visit to Budapest has been nothing less than brilliant. This is a fantastic city in a fantastic country, and I can tell all that from only five days here. In these five days of exploring Budapest high, low and sideways I have not seen any of the following: an LGBTQWERTY/Minor

The Scottish education system, once the envy of the world, is now not even the envy of Scotland. And, given the disastrous state of education in England and Wales, captured as it is by woke ideology, climate change and colonialism, that is quite an achievement. All the problems of Scotland: economic, social and now educational

I first arrived in Hull in 1999, and it was rather famously as I discovered, a very ‘white’ city. Even in 2021, according to the census, Hull was 93.9% white. It was noticeable on the streets, in the university and in our church. While the rest of the UK was only 81.7% white our new

I am sure that I am not alone. My life is dominated by a series of electronic devices which include a MacBook, an iPad, an iPhone (providers other than Apple are available) and a Kindle. It is not so much the fact that my whole life is on these devices, having fallen totally for the
