Harry the “Traitor” and Lynch “The Grinch”

  If we were to choose a hill to die on, it would probably not be in defence of a British prince. In truth, we don’t need to like or support – and may even abhor – the targets of media bias highlighted in our analyses. Our goal is simply to provide examples that most […]

Rampant Speculation: Uranium, Dirty Bombs and Heathrow

The dirty bomb and its purportedly famed radiation dispersal attributes has an undeserved mythology. It serves to bloat budgets and confer grants on specious theories propounded by specious theorists. It is all rather easy to make a security threat up, and a celluloid, Hollywood scenario of a dirty bomb going off in the middle of […]
