In these days of Political Correctness this story from Japan gives me a strange sense of hope. Whether he is right or wrong (and I don’t know much about Japan) we should all be pleased that someone in his elected position felt free to say something like this out loud. […]

Much has been written about the dreadful events currently unfolding in Bombay. There’s not anything I can add as an Op-Ed which hasn’t been said more eloquently elsewhere. However sometimes these things take on a personal note. Many people are good friends with some of the MEPs caught up in […]

The Eye likes to cast its gaze over trivia as much as the burning issues of the day, hence this bit of fun. The always indispensable Croydonian often publishes polls which genuinely defy belief and he has continued this fine pattern with a survey of our Gallic neighbours “Is the […]

Following on from my previous comment about helping the military, I return almost at once with a disgusting tale of neglect by the MoD who, to be fair, are only puppets of their LieBour masters. HMS Glasgow was my father’s ship and is currently in Pompey rusting and awaiting being […]

If you will indulge me, two ship related posts in succession. Yesterday the QE2 sailed away from Gibraltar for the final time. Her ultimate destination, as we all know, is Dubai to become a floating hotel. Many places such as the smaller Mediterranean islands and resorts – and other similar […]

Talk about historical revisionism. Last month the French were claiming that we didn’t play fair at Agincourt and now a group of lecturers at third-rate ex-Poly Portsmouth Uni are claiming that the pride of Henry VIII’s fleet, Mary Rose, was actually sunk by a cannonball fired from a much smaller […]
