Sometimes it is very easy to feel proud of one’s country. No more so, for us, than when it shown that we can still excel at a high level of industrial output.

A follow up to my earlier post today. Mario Scaramella, the contact who provided the list naming the Russian killers behind the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, has now gone into hiding. An Italian political source, of Sky News, is reported to have said that “Mario is very scared at the moment”. Nothing like stating the [...]

In 1945, Remembrance Day was switched from Armistice Day to the [...]
Today is Armistice Day. At eleven o’clock this morning, millions are expected to pay tribute to those who died serving their country.
