President Obama Barak Obama is a inspirational leader. Because of this he is President of The United States of America. His decision to allow H.I.V. sufferers to enter the U.S is courageous . This is just another sign that America wants to rejoin the world community. A good move now would be to allow U.S Citizens to […]
The Blair Dream Fades So it looks as if the motorcade factor was not enough. Too few of the movers and shakers in Europe are willing to back the Blair canditature for the Presidency of the Council. Neither he nor his friends have understood a simple truth. Britain’s most glitzi Prime Minister since Pitt the […]
Child Protection As visitors to my website will know I have an ongoing focus on this issue, although it does not come up in my book. Earlier in the year I put forward a plan for radical reform, the key element of which was the incorporation of both the legal and investigative elements under one roof. […]
Foreign Office Priorities Yesterday I called the Foreign Office and asked for the official view of John Bolton’s nuking Iran by Israel plan. They did not have one. They never comment about things said overseas by foreign politicians. How peculiar. They are not the Home Office. They are the Foreign Office. They can’t afford to […]

Expenses and Constitution. This gets a complete Part in my book 2010 A Blueprint for Change. The reforms I propose would, if in effect, have made the MPs Expenses scandal impossible and, should they hit on some other scam to deceive us, would give the Crown not only the power (which it now has but has […]
Israel and Iran John Bolton, the Republican ultra neo-con in the U.S., who must be one of the most alarming politicians in the world today, is reported to be advocating an Israeli first strike nuclear attack on Iran if negotiations with the latter fail. This must be one of the most preposterous public declarations since […]
Immigration Of all the issues this is the most sensitive and raises the rawest passions. Racial prejudice hovers menacingly at the edge of every argument. The subject gets high ratings in the league of things people worry about. I accept there must be some orderly and fair quota of new immigrants because we are a small […]
Complaint Nick Griffin is to complain about the way the format of Question Time was altered and a hostile audience assembled to subject him to an onslaught of anger, criticism and derision. The difficulty is that the doctrine of the BNP is pretty repugnant to many, indeed most, people in this country and therefore some […]
