    - 6 months ago - 11 comments
    Dear MP The Dangers of the WHO Pandemic Treaty and International Health Regulations This should be concerning to anyone who calls himself a democrat. The World Health Organisation is proposing legally binding amendments to their previous regulations (which were simply recommendations), together with a new treaty, which will give them totalitarian control over 194 nation states and the power to suspend national constitutions and human rights and impose measures on the populace withou…

  • picking holes in Enid Blyton

    - 15 Jul 2022 - 15 comments
    Like most of my generation, I grew up with the Famous Five, my childhood enriched by farfetched notions of mystery and secret passages. Rereading those books of long ago, I can forgive the predictable plots and banal writing style and enter into the carefree world of children solving crimes and catching villains. I am happy to accept the implausibility of these children having such adventures everywhere they go and never seeming to grow old despite a succession of school holidays. I am ha…

  • Not Playing But Drowning

    - 22 Jun 2014
    I wonder if he’s still alive today: the boy I nearly didn’t save from drowning. I was thirteen, at the lido with Julie. She could swim a mile, but I could only doggy paddle. I was frightened of deep water, especially when I saw the black lines wiggling on the bottom. ‘Sixfoot’ was one of the scariest words I knew. And ten was unimaginable, deeper even than the ceiling in my bedroom. But fear comes close to fascination, and Julie would entertain me by letting herself down to the floor and…
