. verses United States President Barack Obama, as a leg of a European jaunt, arrived in the UK for a short visit last night, all as part of his swansong international trips that has included Argentina last month, earlier this week Saudi Arabia, then onto Germany, followed by Vietnam, Japan, Canada, Poland, China, Laos, and Peru. […]
Anyone this side of the pond who as interested observers waited-up into the early hours of the morning last week to listen to President Barrack Obama’s 7th and final State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress (and guests), probably wishes that they hadn’t bothered, eh? It didn’t take long for […]
. Last Thursday was an embarrassing one for the American people, wasn’t it? No, not because their President Barrack Obama has been upstaged once again by Russian President Vladimir Putin – this time over Syria. No, not because the USA’s supposed superior military might and massive firepower is seen worldwide to count for nothing, […]

In the so called “developed” countries we benefit from (suffer from?) a great deal of technology these days. In some other counties they can lead a more normal simpler life can’t they? Most of us don’t understand the bulk of it – and why should we – but surely we are just forced into making […]
The Barack Obama Presidency will be consigned to history with his legacy of the one who brought shame and dishonour on the American people. He has been proved to be sadly an image icon, a massively good talker and an extraordinary non-doer. A likeable man, but a danger to the Western world. Basically he is […]
The founders of the United Nations (UN) will be turning in their graves. Their high minded aspirations for the organisation are in the gutter.
