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...

Am I alone (probably, I usually am) in experiencing acute nausea at the sight and sound of the pigs who  are normally to be found with their snouts in the Parliamentary (or Congressional) trough, snorting and snuffling in pseudo rage at the swine who filled their boots at our expen...

I am the living, breathing proof of the old saying that 'nice guys finish second'.  Of course, it goes without saying that I am, indeed, 'a nice guy' but you may wonder in what way I have finished second.  The more uncharitable amongst you will be surpri...

Aerobics, so I am told by the few lunatics I know who go in for it, is an ideal way to manipulate your body in order to achieve suppleness and grace in movement.  All those nagging, aching joints which are so bothersome simply disappear and whatever your age you end up feeling eighteen again -...
