Strange incident at Harlech 1694
It wasn’t a UFO or a will o’ the wisp – or any other unexplained phenomenon that fits the standard rational explanation. What happened in Harlech in 1694, however, must have been a terrifying display of nature’s powers as it made an unexpected foray upon the people of this partContinue Reading

Policing – a perpetually problematic issue
The Met Police clearly have read the room wrongly and they’re not the only police force to achieve this highly esteemed status with alarming regularity. The notion they are (or were) one of the best police forces in the world no longer rings true, it hasn’t for several decades despiteContinue Reading
