We can now get the ball rolling once again, and I am delighted to have teamed up with the Pars Foundation for this walk and talk event on the Thursday 15th April at 10.00am.
THE TROJAN HORSE

Suspension Of Belief
Back in the 1990s I used to enjoy the classic BBC Comedy Series "Yes Prime Minister". It was not only an award winning comedy but educated many of us in Politics.PM Jim Hacker was forever adept at covering up a controversial topic by giving publicity to something juicy which the tabloids would feast on.
