Is the EU set on overriding the democratic will? (published by World Politics Review, 2 october, 2006). Having seen the proposed EU Constitution democratically rejected is the Commission now determined to 'power grab' from sovereign nations by backdoor means?

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT:
 
NEW! EU Facing Business Backlash  (published by Energy Tribune April 2008)
Blowin' In The Wind (published by TCS Daily, January 23, 2008). Just why is it that where other renewables attract capital investment and private equity, wind power has to be paid for by the 'dumb' taxpayer?

What Climate Consensus? (published in the magazine British Journalism Review, September 2006). The mainstream media is guilty of conveying the view that there is 'consensus' science view on global warming and climate change.

MASS MEDIA:
 

Auntie Beeb, anti-Israel? (published by The American Thinker, 17 November, 2006). The BBC uses taxpayer funds to defend a court case aimed at preventing a believed "critical" internal report into its Middle East coverage...from being seen by those who paid for it. Nice one, Beeb.

Muslim Apartheid in Britain: a veiled threat?
(published by World Politics Review, 20 October, 2006). How the veil issue is iconic for all Western societies - and how it reveals that multicultural "equality" is an illusion. A different version has been published by Canada's Catholic Insight magazine, December, 2006 issue).
Crackberry Crunch (published by TCS Daily, August 2006). Techno addiction is a growing trend and one that the nanny state may well try to cure us of before too long.

Sadaam & the biblical (Judeo-Christian) case for the death penalty (published by MichNews.com, 16 November, 2006). Adapted from my book The Politics of Faith it provides the biblically-minded Christian with the Bible's clear case for the death sentence for murder.
