Sex, booze, politics, intrigue, betrayal, danger... now I've got your attention, I would like to tell you my story.This is the autobiographical story of how a man born to a relatively normal family from a modest background in the West Midlands managed to achieve national prominence through a series of often hilarious and always honestly recounted exploits and misadventures.Dealing with the reality of the issues behind the headlines, A Rhino Through the Looking Glass is a brutally honest story of the highs and lows of a life led with the motto that there are always possibilities.From depictions of life growing up in Wolverhampton in the 1970s to depictions and anecdotes about encounters with huge names in politics, sports and entertainment, this book is a unique journal of a life that has, at times, stretched the boundaries of credulity in its levels of drama.Featuring encounters with three different British Prime Ministers, World Champion sportsmen and international pop stars, as well as a very long working relationship with Nigel Farage, the book is packed with fascinating stories."Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast".Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll."The Rhino" is a nickname given to me by the author's ex-wife.

This is the final CLIMATE book. All is Well All will be Well explained how the Sun's cycles, Earth's orbits and ocean shifts govern temperature. CO2 Nature's Gift showed that CO2 provides all our oxygen and food but is at its lowest level for over 99% of the past 500 million years. If CO2 doubled crop yields rise by over 50% - with no noticeable effect on warming. At pre industrial levels CO2 has already absorbed all available radiated heat. Adding more of the gas has no noticeable effect. Even if doubled it would result in warming of only 0.80C. This is a basic principle of radiation spectroscopy. It has been known for over 50 years to those responsible for disseminating the shocking deception of global warming dogma. Intent must be inferred from the effects. Ending fossil fuel combustion, which eco-socialism requires, will bring about the collapse of the open market economies of countries that enforce it. Our prosperity is receding as ever more burdens of compliance become insupportable.This final CLIMATE volume raises four questions forced upon us by the insanity of Net Zero.How have the liberal democracies of the World allowed the collapse of industrialised civilisation to become even a possibility?How is it that the dismal and fallacious conception of a fearful and imperilled humanity has been allowed to paralyse reason?How has a colossal deception come to be dictated by an unaccountable bureaucracy and basic principles of physics and spectroscopy distorted and suppressed? Which States will benefit from such a disaster? Are they not China and Russia whose scientists and governments know that there is no man made CO2 climate crisis?Will our way of life be preserved if we allow these things or do not even seek answers?

The EU/Eurozone participate in the rules-based international order, but they break its financial rules in both letter and spirit. The global financial system is a cornerstone of this international order. Rules for its operation have been devised by several global bodies. The bedrock is a proper accounting for the scale of the liabilities of governments and the wider public sector. The EU and the Eurozone member states fail to adequately account for their liabilities, undermining Eurostat's 'General government gross debt' as a reliable figure. The discrepancy consists both of shadow debts and unrecognized contingent liabilities as guarantor. The EU's 'General government gross debt' is understated by 44% if one takes account of the shadow debts, and by 70% if one factors in the contingent liabilities as well. Incomplete accounting masks the degree to which member states are out-of-compliance with the Fiscal Stability Pact. It is a threat to global financial stability where a major set of participants in the system understate their liabilities, because that leads on to the public credit rating agencies over-rating the respective entities' debts, and in turn to other participants in the system setting aside too little capital to account for the risks they are running by doing business with these entities, and/or to other participants - like Central Counterparties running clearing houses for derivatives - requiring too thin a security margin. The Euro currency is structurally weaker than it is made to appear, and both Eurozone and non-Eurozone member states in the EU have higher liabilities than Eurostat reports. Central banks, monetary authorities and investors outside the EU should be pressing for disclosure of detailed information on these liabilities, as well as ensuring that their own financial markets and practices do not replicate the related practices. There are also important implications for the EU's plan to onshore - particularly from London - the clearing of Euro derivatives contracts, because a clearing house should enjoy an adequate collateral margin and the collateral itself ought to be of the highest quality.
