60 years since the other coronation…

Today, may have been a celebration of six decades since Her Majesty was crowned. But, we shouldn’t forget another favourite that has served Britain well since 1953. Coronation chicken. Created by Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume, it was prepared as the food for the banquet of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. So, today marks…

Two Rights make a Wrong!

I was speaking with my fried Dan yesterday, when we discussed the leaking of information and the hacking of personal data which are in the spotlight at the moment.

A High Profile Judgment!?

Worryingly yesterday, I became aware that the Commissioner has no intention of bringing to an end the dispute between him and I even after the recent Employment Appeal Court judgment with regards to my complaints of discrimination, harassment, victimisation and leaking about me at Scotland Yard. It appears he is finding the judgment hard to accept. This is despite…
