The first book I ever published in the POD space was titled A Brief History of Lies, the habits and genetics of lying. It was actually an extended essay of 20,000 words which was based on the research of high intelligence being linked to skilled liars. It was published by Amazon first and now in…

So There We Have It
Blunkett said on air today that the Labour Party is all about getting people working so they can support themselves. He didn’t say they had to be fulfilled, express their innate talents he just said ‘in work’. The patrician speak for ‘pay tax’. It is a great shame government still does not understand the first…
Found Wordle
Have to say doing NY Times worlde and not getting INOUT still rankles, but I am not always good at connections, seems I don’t know enough American sports or TV shows and a few times strands has also been difficult, my cultural awareness is not very popular, but letterboxed I find really difficult. I am…
How little They Know
There is no understanding in governments any more about how the deeply religious mind works. For a believer nothing happens that god doesn’t want. Therefore if things happen that go agaisnt the thrust of their religious tenets the wholly natural conclusion is they are at fault – they have not been dutiful enough to the…
Recycle
Days recycle themselves, hours multiple in the same fashion, animals including us birth and dust a vast timeframe of sameness for the time the earth exists. The Universe itself is continually rolling over itself like an eruption breaking down to refashion itself in a hot temper and erupt again. It is no wonder peoples think…
Again
I have listened to a number of journalists and political commentators, all of whom come up with the question, what will Iran do now? and all of them look at the obvious. Iran will not look at the obvious, If it cannot win, it will hurt so its primary outlet will be huge support for…

Anti-Semitism can take many forms – from a mocking, contemptuous ill-will to murderous pogroms. Anti-Semitism can be met with in the market and in the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences, in the soul of an old man and in the games children play in the yard. Anti-Semitism has been as strong in the age…
Grants Application
I want to sing praises – even before any decision has been taken. In the past I have been involved making Arts Council grants and ticking all their boxes for equality, age range, audience growth and being advised the way to make a successful application is to use all the buzz words they use in…
Understanding
People have become so disconnected from religiosity that they cannot put themselves into the minds of the religious at all. I have heard everyone on international news outlets discussing the Mullahs in term of diplomacy even suggesting their fulminations are a part of the way they do business. All of them are dead wrong. To…
Old Or Young
I listened to a commentator on France 24 stating that the two antagonists in the Iran/Israel conflict were 70 and 80 years old and obviously stubborn and bellicose and neither will back down. I found that to be the converse to what we were always shown in history that the older men get the less…
