Gaza debate unraveled
Yesterday I posted a hasty response to the parliamentary debate on
Gaza. Standing back a bit, it calls for some further observations.I

speech, Tobias Ellwood (the parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for
Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs) hinted that although he ha

that, there was coverage of sex abuse in the Anglican Church; an

Lee Reeves and the Roswell UFO Crash
I know that this might seem to be piling on, but in the last couple of
weeks, I have been asked about the story of Lee Reeves who supposedly

were found. Reeves’ tale appears in Witness to Roswell where it says,
“When the call came in to the fire station that there had been a crash
north of town, Dan Dwyer and Lee Reeves were dis
Kenneth Arnold and the Null Hypothesis
It has become an article of faith among some that the Kenneth Arnold
sighting with its misreported description of a flying saucer is the
genesis of modern UFO shape. Arnold had said that the objects he saw
moved with a “motion like that of saucers skipping across a pond,” which
reporters took to mean that Arnold had seen disk-like objects. Skeptics
have pointed out this error, suggesting that Arno

(Blogger’s Note: Yes, I’ve touched on this before but in the last week
or so the MSM, that is to say Time, published a UFO story that made the
point that flying saucer was based on an error so of proving there is
nothing to the sightings. I thought I’d take another run at this idea.)I
have seen recently more suggestions that the term, “Flying Saucer,” is a
misnomer because Kenneth Arnold wasn’t de

The deal imposed by the Eurozone grouping on Greece is nothing short of

The Labour Party is a mass organisation. Under its banner you find all

Review - Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes
A comic novel with Adolf Hitler as the main character? Really? Quite
apart from the humourless fanaticism that characterised Hitler and the
regime he founded, isn't it still a bit early to turn the most notorious
name in modern history into a sympathetic figure of fun? Yes, it is. Or
at least it's something that's very risky. As Gavriel Rosenfeld puts
