  • The Armchair Revolutionary: On walking and chewing gum at the same time.

    Send us Fan Mail

    It has become a commonplace to describe would-be revolutionaries as armchair warriors or armchair revolutionaries. The passion required to go into battle is for most people tempered by fearing the consequences of becoming a political street warrior.

    I became aware of my comfort zone in pontificating from the armchair position recently, as the political events around me spun crazily out of control ...

  • The Loyal Lockdown

    Send us Fan Mail

    The death of the Queen has sunk into the national consciousness, assisted by the loyal lockdown protecting us from any less significant distractions. 

    I am able to watch which is known as the proclamation ceremony, which has remained mostly unchanged since Elizabeth the first, with other bits stretching back to Anglo-Saxon times. 

    I consult my notes to ensure the accuracy of my reporting, then provide my audio memo of the historic events unfolding before the eyes of a watching nation ...

  • How long should a nation mourn?

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the death of her beloved Husband Albert, Queen Victoria began a period of mourning that lasted forty years to her death. It is considered today a somewhat extreme action by a person who never overcame the grief after her bereavement.

    When Diana, Prince of Wales died in a gruesome car crash in 1997, there was an outpouring of grief for the princess which has scarcely subsided for those most affected. 

    When Elizabeth Windsor died on Thursday 8 of September, the period of mourning began.  But how long should a nation mourn?

  • The Coronation of Queen Liz the Third

    Send us Fan Mail

    Tudorama reports on the first days in office of Liz Truss as Prime Minister. 

    Monday September 5th, 2022

    8.00am

    BBC News reporters already out and about collecting the assorted voices of the people. Mostly are disinterested or dismayed. There are still four hours of mostly non-news to fill before Liz Truss is formally pronounced as the replacement PM for Boris Johnson.

    What seems  like repeated replays of information-free news items, the programme is reaching a close. National Groundhog Day, scene one, is drawing to a whimpering end.

  • No, our next Prime Minister is not going to be Theresa May

    Send us Fan Mail

    6 September 2022.

    Liz Truss is appointed as Prime Minister. 

    I interview Laura about the day to day challenges of running a company. The brief interview took an unexpected  turn.

    I had been waiting for an opportunity to interview her as founder of her cleaning company, as well as her work as a sporting coach. 

    My opportunity came today when Laura found herself filling in for a member of her cleaning team, and I was able to ambush her as she was finishing off in the kitchen. Another team member who wanted to remain anonymous joined in from the utility room,

    I leave the interview unedited ...

  • Stay alive, stay creative. A conversation with myself

    Send us Fan Mail

    I recently thought differently about something important to me. As its importance is only to myself, I would see it as an example of everyday creativity.  

    To share it with others, I posted it on Twitter, and started a note about the idea and how it began to suggest more ideas. The note turned into a conversation with myself.

    The tweet:

    What’s the best way to retain your love of life? Give your everyday creativity every chance to flourish.

    The conversation with myself begins

    At risk of sounding pretentious -

    You are sounding pretentious.

  • Garry Kasparov on the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev

    Send us Fan Mail

    Mikhail Gorbachev who died on the 39 August 2022 presided over the break up of the Soviet Union, with the subsequent  monumental political changes in Europe over the last thirty years. As such, his life deserves the attention it is receiving.

    His obituaries at the west are glowing, a reformer who brought freedom to a continent. 

    Boris Johnson, in one of his briefer and more thoughtful comments, noted that Gorbachev changed the world for the better and  paid the price in his own career.

    In Russia, many still see him as an instigator of changes that have reduced Soviet power, and indirectly led to the thinking that resulted in today’s conflict in Ukraine

    One of his best-informed critics is Garry Kasparov, one of Russia’s most famous emigrés, advisor to American presidents, and ranked among the greatest chess players of all time. Kasparov has emerged as an influential critic of the political path followed by his country of birth
