The Woodcutter. Kazimir Malevich painted this just before the Russian Revolution.  Say one thing for the current euro crisis, it’s cutting a swathe through Europe’s ruling elite. So far this year these heads of state have felt the sharp blade of Father Time’s sickle. [...]

Here is what I wrote about Greece back in June “This is very, very serious for Greece. And I think it will lead to a complete re-invention of the state, and the journey may be pretty rocky.” To read the rest of the piece, click here.

King George II David Cameron. Plus ça change My children like to slide down the bannisters singing a song which they find utterly hilarious. The chorus goes like this: “Born to rule over you, King George 1, 3, 4 and 2 You had to do what we told you to Just because our blood is […]

Steve Jobs made the world a better place. He was only 56 when he died yesterday but his vision has already changed the way so many of us live our lives now – and the way we imagine the future. In the summer I wrote a piece about him using his own inspirational words. To […]

Christin Lagarde Pallas Athena You know, Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF, almost looks as if she’s enjoying herself. Perhaps she is – because clearly her time has arrived. This point is what her life has been about. For her everything is focusing in on this moment in history. [...]

Not very long ago, when my parents were kids, this continent ripped itself apart in a cataclysm of self-destruction. Millions died. Cities were destroyed. World War Two was the culmination of a century and a half of fighting. By the end of it the continent was exhausted, spent, knackered. But [...]

Jesus, by all accounts, was a mild mannered fellow. But one thing really got him riled – you guessed it – those money-changers in the temple. As it was then, so it is now. Who will cast out the “markets” though, as they trash the dream of European peace and unity?So I thought [...]

Did I mention that our Prime Minister David Cameron’s relationship with the News of the World et al was likely to be too close? Yes I did. What I didn’t realise then was this: last year he spent a family Christmas with the head of News International Rebekah Brooks. How cosy is [...]

For an excellent analysis of the impact of current transits to the UK chart, take a look at Newscope over at Neptune Cafe.

So News International employs a nest of snakes to run its papers. Quelle surprise!   We are in the nastier reaches of the realm of Neptune – the planet of lies. To find out why have a look at the profile of Rupert Murdoch that I wrote in March. Click here to find it.

Anne Sinclair puts a guiding hand on Dominique Strauss Kahn’s shoulder I can’t help wondering what is going through rich, handsome and clever Anne Sinclair’s head.  The wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, disgraced head of the IMF, has stood by her man over the past 20 years [...]

  JK Rowling – imagination, talent and wit. She’s the first person to make a billion by writing books. She’s ignited the imaginations of about a gazillion children on every continent. She’s managed to make a Virgo cool – well, sort of. For those of you who [...]
