Liverpool born poet and writer Michael Walsh traces his Liverpool roots back to 1865. This was the year his Irish great-grandmother arrived in the Second City of Empire. His parents were born at the turn of what was to become the most tumultuous century in history. Michael's father, Patrick, fought in three major conflicts before reaching his fortieth birthday. His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.
The journalist and broadcaster since provided articles and columns for numerous magazines and international news media. In 2011 he was awarded Writer of the Year by the publishers of Euro Weekly News, Europe's highest-circulation newspaper of its kind. He has authored, edited and ghosted over 70 book titles.

German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck came straight to the point; “People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election.” Few people question government spin. During and after war palace historians re-cycle the winning side’s take on things.
Another anti-lockdown protest in Toronto; another day of police violently taking down and arresting those committing the egregious crime of… expressing a contrary opinion to the likes of Toronto Mayor John Tory, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?

Traditions, records and extraordinary ‘valentines.’
The oldest valentine in the world.
There is a legend that the very first Valentine card in the world was written by Saint Valentine before his execution. But the officially registered love note, dated February 14, 1415, belongs to the Charles, Duke of Orléans, who wrote love letters to his wife while he was in the Tower of London. This Valentine is now kept in the British Museum.
Abortion on-demand up until nine months into a pregnancy came dangerously close to becoming a reality in France last week. There remains a slim chance that the ‘bioethics’ law containing the provision sponsored by French President ‘Herod’ Macron could become law in France.
A new law is due to be passed in Poland that would fine Big Tech firms a staggering $2.2 million every time they unconstitutionally censor lawful free speech online.
