The threat from militant Islam is the most hideously difficult of the lot to counter.  It is formed from two parts, that swathe of the Muslim population throughout the world prepared to take up arms against the West via whatever terrorist organisation is to hand, and those rogue states which h...

Having listed, in my preceding post, who I think are the enemies of the West, by which I mean the USA (but as we in Britain ultimately depend  on the USA as our 'ally of last resort', then that includes us as well), I will try and put them into some sort of priority l...

I have just finished a book which has hitherto sat unread on my waiting-to-be-read pile which threatens my health every time I pass by it so huge is the mass and so precarious the tilt.  The book is " 3 Para " by Patrick Bishop which I strongly urge you all to beg, borrow...
