1 day ago | thearticle.com | Patrick Maxwell

They were the superheroes of the pandemic, coming to the rescue with their relatively safe and uncontroversial vaccine in the depths of the second lockdown of winter 2020-21, simultaneously justifying the Government’s serendipitous investment right at the start of the coronavirus outbreak. If there was a British success story among the general failures, it was “AZ”. Since 2020, the firm has only grown, and is now one of the biggest in Britain by market capitalisation.

3 days ago | thearticle.com | Patrick Maxwell

Remember Seumas Milne? Karie Murphy, anyone? Right-wing journalists used to fill dumb days at the office by re-reading Milne’s archived Guardian articles in praise of the USSR. It seems these central figures in the ill-fated regime of Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party are destined merely for the footnotes of the first history books. In 2019, Channel 4 named Milne as one of the two “Men Who Really Run Britain”.

After years with no chess on mainstream TV channels, we now have a plethora.

How does a young person come to chess? A recent feature by Gerald Drissner in Credo, the wealth journal of the Liechtenstein Global Trust, struck certain chords with my own experiences. Credo is lent added poignancy, in that it is published by my good friend and sponsor of Tony Buzan’s mental skills Intelligence Institute Academy, His Serene Highness Prince Philipp Von and Zu Liechtenstein.

Here we go again. BBC News programmes have been biased against Israel ever since October 7. Almost immediately John Simpson and Mishal Husain refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation.

The BBC and the dog that didn’t bark

1 month ago | thearticle.com | David Herman

The 1892 book, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a collection of short stories. One of the best-known stories is “Silver Blaze,” a mystery about the disappearance of a famous racehorse the night before a race and the murder of the horse’s trainer. Sherlock Holmes solves the mystery by realising that no one had said that they had heard barking from the watchdog during the night. The dog that didn’t bark is one of Conan Doyle’s most enduring images.
