It’s always been one of the themes of history that I have found most interesting; that moment when the primary power in the world sees its position usurped. History is replete with turning points where one massive power is surpassed by a rival. The causes can be varied from natural disasters to simple economics. As… Continue reading Has Trump handed over American Hegemony? Poisoning the world – the new American dream.

Think Donald Trump is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Whilst I couldn’t say that I would ever have voted Trump in a million years, I also wouldn’t have voted Hilary in a million years either. The last few weeks have seen protests across the USA and around much of the world and I really understand why however…. As much as I don’t like Trump,… Continue reading Think Donald Trump is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Jo Cox, Brexit & Haters – Oh My!
This is an unusual post, but then it has been an unusual week. They say that a week is a long time in politics but recently event hours have been a long time in Politics. I haven’t been able to write much due partly to illness, work and also the various but related events… Continue reading Jo Cox, Brexit & Haters – Oh My!
Are you a Global Citizen?
I’ve always thought the concept of patriotism and especially nationalism to be a very weird and most likely stupid and illogical idea. It just makes no sense to me that people from any individual country can believe on whatever level that they are in the best country in the world or that they are in… Continue reading Are you a Global Citizen?
Britain and the EU
Today marks the beginning of the official British campaign on the European Union referendum of our continued membership of this pan-European organisation. I say the official campaign as in practice the debate has been raging pretty much since the day we joined in before I was even born. It’s probably the most divisive political argument… Continue reading Britain and the EU
Changing The World, One Step At A Time
I’ve been extremely busy the last week or so which isn’t normally a reason not to blog post but that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. I’ve been very busy with working on my V1 book and other real-life issues. Additionally I was also approached to write for a new Facebook Page and… Continue reading Changing The World, One Step At A Time
War In Syria, Peace In The Middle-East
This week the U.K. voted to go to war against the terrorists in Syria. It doesn’t seem to be a popular cause in the U.K. or perhaps it is simply that its opponents are more vocal as it is hard to admit support for a war. Of course there is no easy solution and none… Continue reading War In Syria, Peace In The Middle-East
20 of the greatest speeches of all time
I’ve always been interested in speeches and it always seems interesting how easy it is to pick out those that are naturally gifted orators with those who merely give it their best shot. Last night much if the U.K wS watching a parliamentary debate that was rounded off by the latest in a long line… Continue reading 20 of the greatest speeches of all time
Jeremy Corbyn – Power to the people!
I don’t often write about politics unless something exception is happening and at the moment something very exceptional is definitely happening in the U.K. and to differing degrees across Europe and the USA. Before General Election in May, I penned the post “Who To Vote For When All The Political Parties Suck” In the last… Continue reading Jeremy Corbyn – Power to the people!
The Queen – Her powers, perks and privileges.
It seems likely that September 9th will see Queen Elizabeth II surpass the achievement of her Great Grandmother, Queen Victoria, and become the longest ever serving monarch in British history. Whilst the role of the monarch has long since been transformed from the potentially tyrannical approach taken by some of her forebears, it is… Continue reading The Queen – Her powers, perks and privileges.
