I had never heard of cluster bombs until I served in the First Gulf War. These were used very effectively to paralyse the Iraqi Air Force. The RAF dropped them on Iraqi airfields and, as their pilots and ground crew did not know how many would explode, or when, the strategy was successful. In an […]

One of my most enduring childhood memories is watching Edith Nesbit’s The Railway Children, masterfully brought to cinematic life by the loving hand of Lionel Jeffries. The film’s denouement brought my 6- or 7-year-old self to tears (and still does), but it was not until recently that I fully understood why. Watching the steam unfurl

Costa Coffee has become the latest brand to inflict woke ideas on its customers by the use of virtue signalling advertising. An image of an androgynous-looking character in a surfing position wearing long shorts, blue hair and large lips, with scars below each nipple, has been spotted on one of their vans. The image was
It’s a couple of weeks since the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament issued its scathing report ‘China’, where it outlined the ‘whole-of-state’ infiltration of UK institutions by the Middle Kingdom.

The ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) is an area in London where a fee is charged for driving the most ‘polluting vehicles’. Boris Johnson announced his plans for the scheme back in 2015; however, subsequent Mayor, Sadiq Khan introduced the zone on 8 April 2019. Inevitably, he has made a right cock-up of it, and
Even if you despise Nigel Farage, and there are certainly those who do, the nation does actually owe him a favour (or more appropriately, a good drink). Say what you want about him, but big Nige is that rarest of birds – one whose name gets put forward to the honours committee for genuine services
