Review: Belt and Road: A Chinese World Order – by Bruno Maçães
The Belt and Road Initiative, launched by China in 2013, is a transformative foreign policy project aimed at enhancing China’s global influence through trade routes reminiscent of the Silk Road. While it has received mixed responses, particularly from Western nations, it offers countries alternatives to Western hegemony, promoting economic development but also raising geopolitical tensions,… Continue reading

Match Report: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Liverpool (22.10.25) W5-1
At the start of the match, for the first fifteen minutes, Liverpool were totally dominant in possession, with Eintracht Frankfurt hardly touching the ball at all. Having said that though there was no end result and not really any clear cut chances on goal. The bad news was that Jeremie Frimpong suffered a hamstring injury… Continue reading

Review: Before Bletchley Park – The Codebreakers of The First World War – by Paul Gannon
I have previously read a lot of material on World War 2 codebreakers and the likes of Alan Turing and their critical work against Enigma and the invention of modern computing during that period.

Review: MI9: A History of the Secret Service for Escape and Evasion in World War Two – by Helen Fry
I randomly found this book on the shelves of Caldicot library. I read a lot of books on U.K. Intelligence services: MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. During the war…. Mt grandfather (GaGa) was in 618 Squadron RAF and 143 Coastal Command. He didn’t really speak to me much about World War 2 itself until quite late… Continue reading

Review: The Assault On Truth – Boris Johnson and the Emergence of a New Moral Barbarism – by Peter Oborne
I think everyone that has ever heard of Boris Johnson associates him with lies. Oborne, who is an established veteran political journalist, in this relatively brief text, exposes the extent of the former Conservative Prime Minister’s almost total aversion to the truth. He reckons Johnson has told over thousands of lies and although the scope… Continue reading

Review: Behind The Enigma – The Authorised History of GCHQ – Britain’s Secret Cyber-Intelligence Agency – by John Ferris
This is a weighty tome (800 plus pages) and the authoritative history of perhaps the least glamorous of the U.K.’s principal security services. However, the facts illustrated in this book clearly demonstrates the critical role GCHQ plays in national security and perhaps one could argue is more relevant and more important than its more glamorous… Continue reading

Brexit and Mental Health
Brexit, like it or not is a reality. 54% of the public voted in a referendum for us to leave the EU. I watched with despair as events unfolded and was almost praying for us to stay in as I feared that a Brexit decision could really send my End Of Terror situation spiralling out… Continue reading
