#BBC - last night Sir Max Hasting’s defended the BBC against the right-wing media and newspaper barons. If we lose the BBC, Britain will lose something very precious and an important part of the national heritage.

20 years after we met and became instant friends, I was grateful for the opportunity to catch up with my good friend, Dr. Philip W. Blood, on his podcast, “The Historian’s Stammtisch.” He asked some hard questions, and I was happy to answer them.

Back in 2022, we discussed how sanctions against Russia were not working & received a hail of criticism for it. Very pleased to see Private Eye has now altered its City page to address issues like the failure to impose sanctions properly - from 14:40 onwards.
