  • Richard Dawkins - The War on Science
    Feb 13 2026

    There are powerful politicians who have taken to denying scientific facts to further their own ambitions.

    This took another massive leap into the abyss when President Trump removed all the limits on greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Not a solution to the problem - just a denial of its existence. Inconvenient scientific facts denied and dismissed.

    There is a new book edited by Lawrence M.Krauss - The War on Science.

    Among the writers and scientists who have contributed chapters is Richard Dawkins.

    Professor Dawkins talked to me about his chapter.

  • Andrew Lownie - Entitled
    Feb 1 2026

    It seems that Andrew has moved out of Royal Lodge. The sorry story continues.

    Andrew and his ex wife Sarah are in the Epstein linked news again.

    The photographs of him on his knees by a young lady lying on her back on the floor don't look good. The begging notes from Sarah to Jeffrey are embarrassing.

    When this interview was recorded in August 2015 Andrew was a prince and a duke living in a very big house. That is now history.

    Andrew Lownie has spent four years researching the lives of Andrew Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, who used to be the Duke and Duchess of York.

    The book is full of dramatic details of lives spent sailing very close to the wind but mostly protected by their royal status. Not anymore.

    What Andrew Lownie tells me will stop you in your tracks.
