I KNOW nothing should surprise us these days about dumbed-down Britain. But an article on the moronic Mail Online website the other day had me choking on my cornflakes. It read: ‘In 2020, Mandy Lieu, 38, bought 935-acre Ewhurst Park in Hampshire, once owned by the inventor of the wellington boot, the Duke of Wellington, and vowed […]

Our editors are unpaid and work entirely voluntarily as do the majority of our contributors but there are inevitable costs associated with running a website. We depend on our readers […]
LAST week, while our only two aircraft carriers were moored in Portsmouth, the RAF sent four aging Typhoons via Cyprus to bomb Houthis in the hope of giving HMS Diamond a break from shooting down Iranian-made drones. They attacked in conjunction with the US Navy and, while they probably gave the Houthis a bit of a headache, they inadvertently revealed […]
AS THIS column warned last year, the government’s Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) took effect at the start of this month. It sounds innocuous enough, but it will cost us all dearly. The CHMM places an obligation on gas and oil boiler manufacturers to increase the consumer demand for heat pumps by setting a target for […]
WHO could forget the scene in Dr No when a white-bikini-clad Ursula Andress emerges from the Caribbean watched by Sean Connery as James Bond? I certainly never have, and neither did those who placed it at number one in a poll of the sexiest screen moments. Sadly I’ve never encountered the divine Miss Andress in the flesh, […]

WHEN I was a child, we often sang John Bunyan’s hymn Who Would True Valour See. I have to say that although I quite liked the tune – Monk’s Gate by Ralph Vaughan Williams – the words meant very little to me. What was ‘true valour’ and who on earth wanted to be a pilgrim anyway? Along with […]
WHILE much of the world celebrates Christmas, it is of course a particularly special time for those who have a faith in Jesus Christ. This is no less true for believers in Plateau State, Nigeria, who a few weeks ago were greatly looking forward to commemorating the birth of their Lord and Saviour. Instead, a […]
This week I am handing over the first item to JEREMY CRAIG-WESTON. LIKE many other people living and growing up in Oldham, in the foothills of the Pennines in Lancashire, I’ve been roaming the local countryside without accident or incident or altercation with anyone for over 50 years and am by now reasonably familiar with […]
I AM a nurse, so I have some insight into what the job takes. I was a staff nurse, charge nurse and night superintendent (essentially a male matron). I have taught nurses at university level for nearly 40 years. I firmly believe in university-level education for nurses and have no time for arguments that everything […]
