Another great interview with the brilliant Pulitzer winning investigative journalist Bob Woodward. What really caught my attention in this interview is how we summed up the main take away from his new book about Trump “Fear” which is this; “A War on Truth”. Come to think of it this is exactly […]

It is heartening to see the EU will no longer tolerate members undermining the core values of the organisation by following the Russian Playbook that is currently in full swing in the Middle East including; Laws suffocating the free press, and measures to control media through cheap loans for government […]

Tunes for the Trumpet & Flugelhorn: Note these videos are more for training/tracking my own progress. Also for me it’s more about technique rather than sophisticated back music hence recording solo to make it simple and effective. If someone does enjoy the tunes all the better.

Read More Another brilliant book by investigative journalist Bob Woodward giving incredible insight into the Trump Ultra-White House. As some have suggested we may have assumed this reality but not with such vivid details particularly when it involves Trump’s relation with his senior advisors. The question now – and continues to be […]

An incredible documentary about Nixon’s Watergate and the film All the President’s Men based on the 1974 non-fiction book of the same name by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two journalists investigating the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post. The similarity with the state of this U.S. administration is […]

A very simple message to the Swedish people in your upcoming elections; blame not the immigrant but rather the politicians who have become so disconnected from daily life locked in their lavish buildings/offices and keeping them from understanding the concerns of many from the effects of flawed immigration policies – […]

Finally some light in a deep tunnel of the U.S. Republican party. I came across Senator Ben Sasse of Minnesota during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings with a message/observations not heard before within the GOP – not that I’ve seen anway. It’s certainly someone that is making a lot of sense and […]

A great Channel 4 report on the Deal of all Deals for a reality check and somehow we seem to be strolling along. I won’t go into the details because you can watch the clip for yourselves. For me what I’d like to focus (or refocus as I mentioned it […]

A brilliant speech by former President Barack Obama about the state of play in American politics – sort of the unpacking this conundrum we all face today, not just in the U.S; he certainly unpacked the GOP and the current “dis-adminstration”. More importantly it is an inclusive/pragmatic vision forward one […]
Read More The King of Fake We learn today that Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened – whether he used another one of “Executive Orders” I am not so sure 🙂 In other words he’s officially now the “King of Fake” or “Fake King” whichever title you choose; I […]
Read More The view that we continue to hear time and again is something I’ve posted about a while back – link below – is that Trump himself is “The National Security Threat” – and I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I claim that in fact he’s the ultimate “International Security Threat” considering […]

When work is stressful it’s important to settle your nerves – some are better at it than others, some use a drink, some use music, other just use the customer 🙂 Here’s Foster Brooks with some advice. Hope you enjoy!
Read More A very interesting Channel 4 review on BREXIT below. But let me add/clarify that in my view the only Plan B we have is either a General Election or a 2nd Referendum. However both these options mean 1 thing (and 1 thing only) to the current “so-called “government”; no Theresa May […]

I came across this clip and thought to share – though a bit old – of a brilliant young trumpet talent playing a complex movement of a trumpet concerto by one of my favourite all time composers Mozart; truly an inspiration. From the clip description the trumpet was made for […]

Now as I mentioned in previous posts any form of religious discrimination or bigotry is utterly unacceptable […]
Read MoreWe keep hearing that great slogan from the “so-called” government in Britain that a “No Deal is better than a Bad Deal”, a common sense principle that has been overstretched to beyond the limits “just to capture our Imagination away from the reality of the Negotiation“, and here’s why; this principle […]

Today for example she rejects the call for a second Brexit referendum as ‘betrayal of trust & Democracy” – (link below). Now I have to stay – […]
