A thriving business he is about to sell, a family, and a stable if unsatisfying married life. But when he uncovers a shocking truth about his wife, everything crumbles. After a painful divorce, he escapes to Thailand, seeking solace among an enigmatic group of expats; however, temptation lurks around every corner. As he navigates new friendships and desires, the secrets of his past haunt him. As he uses his telescope from the terrace of his new home to gaze at the stars, fulfilling a long-term interest, perhaps he will spy on other activities. Neighbours and beaches provide opportunities for voyeurism. Martin seeks redemption and more than just sunshine and swimming, or are there more secrets to uncover? His adult children remain in the dark about why he left. As old wounds reopen, they demand answers, and hidden truths will surface. Martin wants a new life, new experiences, and, mostly, a chance to find real, satisfying love. Excommunication covers his interactions with his ex. Other friends have divorces in their backgrounds too. How do they cope? ## ExCommunication is available ExCommunication is available in other formats including paperback and kindle alongside my other books.

The academic and physical classes are challenging. Brett is known only as 2023-5C. Simone Harris, assigned the designation 2023-4D, is also training. She is seconded from the CIA. If they succeed, they will join the Temporal Investigations Department (T.I.D.). Several other candidates do not make it. Selection and capability are the key criteria. Most people cannot time-travel. Consequently, there are very few active agents conducting missions across the ages. A secret chamber transports them and their new boss, Todd Caraway, 2000 years into the past. Each stage of the training is a test to see if they have the capability and can survive the experience. Their instructor in a Canadian wilderness cabin is the enigmatic Krista Lysander, whose own past is complicated. They are learning about TID, its competitors, missions, chambers, and the time line. They also learn how mistakes can lead to death or just embarrassment. Simone and Brett learn how to use wrist devices. These allow some jumps in time and place. While using the apparatus to learn its capabilities, the two trainees suffer the consequent side effects of jumping with time lag. The further away you are from your proper time, the worse the effects are. They finish their training and return via the chamber to the current time. They must immediately stop the Russian surveillance of Todd and his family. The danger must be overcome with Russia’s version of TID operating in the USA. TID has to deal with current and historic global politics. Management’s prioritizing of missions is constantly interfering with historical research. Threats and danger may appear at any time or place. **Categories:** Announcements **Tags:** Amazon, Apple, Audible, Lines, Philip G Henley, Sci Fi, T.I.D, Time Travel, Writing, Zodiac --- ### [Recount is out on Audio](https://phenweb.co.uk/recount-is-out-on-audio/) **Published:** August 1, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** [Recount](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/recount/) is now out on audio.

Where a family is forever altered by the echoes of past events. Set more than a decade after the tumultuous events chronicled in ‘Semblance of Storms’ and ‘Re-Semblance,’ this poignant narrative unfolds through the eyes of Milly, a young girl at that time. Her innocence was shattered by the tumult surrounding her. Now a voice that demands to be heard, Milly reflects on the events affecting her family. A complex tapestry interwoven with mental illness, the glittering allure of celebrity, and the omnipresent influence of AI and social media. Her tale is not just a recounting of events; it’s a deeply personal exploration. How trust is forged in the shadow of turmoil and how love can bind and sexuality be challenged. Every memory is a potential threat to her own stability. As Milly navigates the intricacies of her family’s legacy, readers will experience the raw emotional depths of resilience. The fragility of human connection, and the persistent question of identity in an increasingly performative world. With every turn of the page, ‘Dissemblance’ challenges us to confront our own perceptions. To discover what it truly means to be a part of a family, however it is constructed.

The cartel didn’t stop. Their corrupt police officer must be silenced before he does a deal with the police who arrested him. The police have detained more potentially disloyal members. They must be threatened. The cartel’s actions, relentless grip and violent retribution forced a new investigation. Declan finds himself with newfound authority in the criminal underworld. But danger lurks at every turn. His beguiling wife, Astrid, is drawn to a Syrian refugee, Razan, trafficked as a refugee but taken in by Astrid. Declan’s new responsibilities force a move from Ibiza to Barcelona. There he must also integrate a new female recruit to build contacts just like the other women in Paris, Zurich, and Madrid. The Spanish police, in cahoots with their international colleagues from the USA’s FBI and the UK’s NCA, are desperate to infiltrate the cartel and gather hard evidence. In Barcelona, they send a young officer who resembles Declan’s lost love, someone who Declan has already helped on Ibiza. The police closed the original case against Declan Williams due to a lack of solid evidence. Declan Williams has new reluctant partners, former enemies, to integrate into his organisation. There are other threats to the cartel’s operation. From Ibiza to Barcelona, London, LA, and the forests of Colombia, Declan Williams weaves his power and influence. Declan Williams forces some to pay the ultimate price, while sex and money coerce others. Intrigue, betrayal, and danger continue to intertwine. Be prepared for more seedy, violent action through the shadowy underbelly of crime and deceit in this novel of illegality, power, passion, and peril.

Where a family is forever altered by the echoes of past events. Set more than a decade after the tumultuous events chronicled in ‘Semblance of Storms’ and ‘Re-Semblance,’ this poignant narrative unfolds through the eyes of Milly, a young girl at that time. Her innocence was shattered by the tumult surrounding her. Now a voice that demands to be heard, Milly reflects on the events affecting her family. A complex tapestry interwoven with mental illness, the glittering allure of celebrity, and the omnipresent influence of AI and social media. Her tale is not just a recounting of events; it’s a deeply personal exploration. How trust is forged in the shadow of turmoil and how love can bind and sexuality be challenged. Every memory is a potential threat to her own stability. As Milly navigates the intricacies of her family’s legacy, readers will experience the raw emotional depths of resilience. The fragility of human connection, and the persistent question of identity in an increasingly performative world. With every turn of the page, ‘Dissemblance’ challenges us to confront our own perceptions. To discover what it truly means to be a part of a family, however it is constructed. Join Milly on a journey of haunting memories and hopeful revelations. She unearths the power of vulnerability in a landscape where trust is hard to find and many seek to harm. Will she find the strength to face her past and redefine her present, or will the dissemblances of life continue to shape her path? ## The Complete Semblance Series [![Semblance of Storms](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Semblance-of-Storms-Kindle-Cover-scaled-e1667307966895-673x1024.jpg)](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/semblance-of-storms/) ### [Semblance of Storms](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/semblance-of-storms/) #### by [Philip G Henley](https://phenweb.co.uk/books-authors/philip-g-henley/) Semblance of Storms is a contemporary novel of writing, lust, storms, secrets and relationships with…[More](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/semblance-of-storms/) Publish Date: 1 November 2022 Publishers: [Phenweb Publishing](https://phenweb.co.uk/?gsb_publishers=phenweb-publishing) B0BKTD1CRW, B0BL2S1TDN Store: [Amazon](https://mybook.to/JxgwV6f), [Apple Audio](https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/semblance-of-storms-unabridged/id1727426724), [Audible USA](https://www.audible.com/pd/Semblance-of-Storms-Audiobook/B0CMWKB5GW) [![Re-Semblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Re-Semblance-Cover-672x1024.jpg)](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/re-semblance/) ### [Re-Semblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/re-semblance/) #### by [Philip G Henley](https://phenweb.co.uk/books-authors/philip-g-henley/) Re-Semblance is the sequel to Semblance of Storms.

Martin wants a new life, new experiences, and, mostly, a chance to find real, satisfying love. **Categories:** Announcements **Tags:** Amazon Kindle, Divorce, E-book, ExCommunication, Expat, Infidelity, Philip G Henley, Publishing, Thailand, Writing --- ### [Patrick Smith Audio Book is Out](https://phenweb.co.uk/patrick-smith-audio-book-is-out/) **Published:** August 13, 2026 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** A [Patrick Smith](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/patrick-smith/) audio book is out in multiple audio formats.

On multiple occasions I have approached IP address holder via the [WHOIS service](https://www.whois.com/whois) to complain and received bland reassurances. An example of the recent IP address is below the table. Once a host has been established from where the hacking attempt is coming from, you then have to fill in the contact form or abuse form for the host company. A few days later you’ll get a bland reassurance back and the hacks continue sometimes from the same IP address. In the table below, I have listed *some* of these hacking attempts over the last month. I get 50-100 every 24 hours. I’ll probably get more now. ## UPDATE Nothing back from web sites about IP addresses and in last 48 hours 1-3 Aug 2023 I’ve logged over 500 attempts. Waste of bandwidth…. ## Purpose of Trying To Hack My Web Site It’s unclear why these bots or their instigators are trying to hack my site. The site has reputational value to me, but has no e-commerce element except links to book sites. It does not hold membership lists of thousands – in fact no members with no private data, except cookie lists – see [privacy policy](https://phenweb.co.uk/privacy-policy/ "The Phenweb Publishing Privacy Policy"). It may be fun but it’s just a pain and so far unsuccessful. I’m not saying what my user account name is for admin access. Nor am I giving out a password/phrase but it’s strong and then there is 2FA, Two-Factor Authentication. That means these brute force attempts get nowhere even if they did get my username and password. ![Hacker Trying to hack my website](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/hacker.jpg) It’s all a colossal waste of time and resources for all parties. Having worked in the cyber security field, I know how much effort this costs for a company and what sort of reward these criminals are after. The databases or monetary ransom from encryption, but again why my site? Dear hackers give it a rest. Why not use your skills for the betterment of human life? Mind you with the endless efforts of [Government agencies ](https://phenweb.co.uk/government-snooping-chains/ "Government Snooping Chains")some of which have leaked into the open this is an ongoing battle.

It’s not an unusual state of affairs when it comes to family matters. This one concerns acknowledgements in my second book – [To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors"). It seems I gave an acknowledgement in the closing pages to my family ***except*** my daughter. At the time she had not read the book, but she has now. Good news is that she liked it, bad news, she noticed her omission. ***Sorry!*** You of course helped and supported me and now you have a dedicated blog to acknowledge the fact. She is of course busy with her studies so she has not had time to read the books in the publishing time frame. Quite right study first, Dad’s requests later. More generally, how many readers actually read the preface/front matter or the closing pages after the end of the story. Kindle defaults settings seem to start at the first formal chapter unless the publisher is careful to change the settings to start at *the star*t. The start of a normal book is of course the Cover. Many writers like me add in quotes, extracts or other starting material. For my first book I added a cast list but I now realise many readers will not have seen it. No wonder they found it complex. Until I changed the settings to start at the start. Of course many writers have shown family trees or lists. For one of my new books I even have a [web site](http://phenweb.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/the-interplanetary-geographic-service/ "The Interplanetary Geographic Service") to give the back story and hopefully generate some initial interest. For acknowledgements it’s harder. I normally skip the long lists found in many books of all those that have helped with producing the book. I keep it down to under a page. Then there are the links to other books, and frequently a sample chapter. I have not produced a sample chapter, but I have added a brief description of other books by me. Some writers have added reviews from newspapers or web sites to their introductions alongside links to web sites, Facebook, Twitter etc. all hoping that one sale will lead to another. So acknowledgements are important especially my daughter’s alongside all the other bits either side of the story. I must remember to read them myself and not forget anyone. Thank you for your help, Tasha. Now, can you read the others! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** acknowledgements, Advertising, Amazon, Amazon Kindle, An Agent's Demise, book, books, Daughter, E-book, Editing, Facebook, family matters, Fiction, Kindle, Philip G Henley, publish, Publishing, Review, Smashwords, Survivors, The Persuasive Man, To The Survivors, Twitter, website, Writers Resources, Writing --- ### [USA Trips - Holidays, Contrasts and Happy Events](https://phenweb.co.uk/usa-trips-holidays-contrasts-and-happy-events/) **Published:** June 24, 2022 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Just added some photos from two USA trips, both to Charlotte, North Carolina. These were the 2nd and 3rd trips to the city to visit our daughter. The pre-pandemic first trip details can be found [here](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/usa-2018/ "USA 2018 Trip") ## USA Trips -Dec 2021 The first in December 2021 somewhat constrained by COVID tests and restrictions. It featured Christmas, New Year, and the highlight, the engagement of our daughter. The proposal at sunset on the beach in [Ocean Isle](https://web.archive.org/web/20220605035256/https://www.oibgov.com/). The trip included the first physical and very emotional meeting with her thanks to the global pandemic for a few years. ![Stream USA Trips](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/P1040612-300x169.jpg) ## USA Trips – Jun 2022 In June 2022, we returned for our first trip in Summer. A lot warmer than other USA trips. Despite airline delays and lost baggage, thanks to AA and BA not assisted by Heathrow and JFK, we had a great time. We also headed up into the Blue Ridge mountains another contrast in Summer from the cold of winter and in other [photos](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/usa-2018/ "USA 2018"). Our previous trip to the mountains at Christmas 2018 featured snow and storms before the cold of Washington. This time we paddled in waterfalls. ## Photos Out of hundreds of photos taken with family and friends, I’ve selected a few to share to a wider audience. The contrast with winter was not just the average temperatures but the greenery of the scenes. Charlotte is a rapidly expanding city with new housing and businesses seemingly everywhere. No wider trips on this visit except up to the mountains.

So what progress has there been. Not that I haven’t had lots to say, it’s just the time to say it. My biggest excuse is of course writing of the main kind. Oh, and of course I work for a living. Still never let anything like earning a living get in the way of writing. I’m sure the mortgage company would agree. can just see that discussion playing out. “Dear Sir we are repossessing your home” “But I’m and aspiring writer” “Would I have read anything by you” “Probably not” “An you receive an income for this work do you?” I can’t see that going well. Still I do have some news on what I have been writing and designing a cover for [Landscape](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/landscape/ "Landscape"). This was going to be another novel but it’s turned into a short story. It now needs some Beta reading. See what you think of the cover below. Not finished yet but It’s a start: ![Landscape](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/landscape-cover-1-188x300.jpg) In other writing I have been making progress on [An Agent’s Prize](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/an-agents-prize/ "An Agent’s Prize") the third part of the *Demise* conspiracy series. Speaking of that series I have an audio book version of [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/ "An Agent’s Demise") underway on the ACX platform. Not sure when it will be finished but sometime in the New Year. [Part 2 of the Observer Series](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/intervention-the-observer-series-part-two/ "The Observers – Book Two – Untitled") has also had some additions. Still looking for a title. Then the start of something some readers have been asking for since it came out. ***Yes*** a possible sequel to [To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors"). Again untitled but I have a few chapters written, no idea where that one will go. When I wrote the first part I had no direction at all, it just went. Most of my other writing has at least a target plot and story in outline. That one just goes. Must admit it is hard to get back in the flow of those characters. It was very emotional to write the first time, a real difference from *Demise*. Other projects remain stalled or with just a few words here and there. So enough chat and back to the real job – I mean writing! **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** ACX, Advertising, Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Amazon.com, An Agent's Demise, An Agent's Prize, books, cover design, Kindle, Landscape, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, Publishing, The World of Fives, To The Survivors, Writers Resources, Writing --- ### [SQL for Sequels](https://phenweb.co.uk/sql-for-sequels/) **Published:** April 29, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Mixing my topics today SQL and sequels while probably confusing everyone in the process including me. [SQL stands for Structured Query Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL) a method of querying databases to find results but often used to describe the database itself. It is normally pronounced *sequel* hence the connection.There are several databases that call themselves SQL including Microsoft’s larger server based system, right down to SQLite Personal Edition running on various operating systems. Why is a SQL database on my mind? Because my sequels are causing me problems. Part Three of the ***Demise*** ***Conspiracy,*** [An Agent’s Prize](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/an-agents-prize/), Part Two of ***The Observer Series***, [Intervention](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/intervention-the-observer-series-part-two/) and an as yet unnamed sequel to To The Survivors currently named [TTS2 ](https://phenweb.co.uk/coming-soon/to-the-survivors-the-sequel/)by file name. What has this to do with databases. Characters that is what. Characters and timelines and scenes. Of course it’s all my own fault for trying to write several books (not just these) at the same time, but now I have added to my problem. Which character appeared, when, in which book, and do I need to explain their role or have the story of the earlier parts. ## SQL or An App As I have previously blogged, I use [Scrivener](https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener/overview) to write and it is an excellent system to list characters and scenes within a manuscript. I have tried importing all the characters over from the earlier parts but that just makes the lists longer. What I need is a clever database that tells me when, where and in what context I wrote about the character or the scene. In other words i need to add all the meta-data and link all the appearances of the character in Scrivener. I also need to know how much I should cover of the earlier story in order to have the current actions make sense. Not sure any tool can help with that. Many might say it did not make sense in the first parts! Currently, I end up re-reading long sections of the earlier books, using Scriveners’ tool set to find the relevant section, but then comes the real problem. I end up wanting to change the original for grammar, construction or even plot to fit in with the next part’s scene. Oh if only I had written it differently, called the character something else, not killed off xx. God knows how longer series writers manage. Did J K Rowling have a database of Harry Potter characters? Now, if I had a database of all my ideas, characters etc there would be one place to go. This would avoid one section I just had to change where I used the same character name in two different manuscripts. So clever database designers get on it. Get me a SQL database with the right easy to use queries so that I can look it all up. My writing would increase in speed, I could effortlessly cross reference and the world would be a better place. Of course I could just get better organised get the sequel written without SQL at all. **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** An Agent's Demise, An Agent's Prize, An Agent's Rise, Database, Editing, Grammar, Harry Potter, J K Rowling, Microsoft, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, Scrivener, SQL, SQLite, The Observer Series Part Two Intervention, The Observers Part One, To The Survivors, Writers Resources, Writing --- ### [Writing The Sequel](https://phenweb.co.uk/writing-the-sequel/) **Published:** November 24, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** ![keyboard](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/keyboard-300x198.png) Thanks to several kind reviews I have been asked if I will write sequels for my first two books, [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/ "An Agent’s Demise") and [To the Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors"). My third book [The Persuasive Man](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/the-persuasive-man/ "The Persuasive Man") doesn’t support a sequel for fairly obvious reasons. If you check out my forthcoming books you will know that I am writing a sequel to An Agent’s Demise called [An Agent’s Rise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-rise/ "An Agent’s Rise"). So what’s the problem then? Well apart from the ever present risk of writers block, which [this article](http://diymfa.com/writing/5-stages-of-writers-block) is great about by the way, my real problem is plot. I had never intended that either of the books would have sequels when they were written. At one stage I was contemplating splitting To The Survivors into two books simply because it’s a big story and there was a lot to write about. The scenario there does allow further stories about the world I have imagined either following the main characters or with new points of view, or even new locations set during the same timeline. My problem here was not lack of potential for a sequel but the willingness to disappear for the months needed to write it. To The Survivors was totally absorbing when I was writing it. Even at 150,000 words I dropped several chapters and plot areas. Now back in full time employment, my writing time is limited. My fourth book [The Observer Series – Book One – The World of Fives](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/the-world-of-fives-the-observer-series-part-one/ "The Observers – Book One – The World of Fives") has been sitting resting unlooked at for weeks. As you can tell from it’s title it has been planned from the start to be a series set in its own future time and place. It’s a space opera and I have started to create a whole [world](https://intergeoserv.wordpress.com/ "The Interplanetary Geographic Service") around it with potentially a very large cast. I hope to get some time to work on it over the winter but just now I’m back to the purpose of this article – a proper sequel. So putting my other books aside what is my problem with writing the sequel? ## Plot I haven’t lost it completely, but I created several problems in An Agent’s Demise and in retrospect I wish I had finished the book a couple of chapters earlier or at least left out a few components. I tried to *tidy up* too much. Consequently, even the start of An Agent’s Rise has proved difficult. Where do I start, who do I start with? The political context was also important. The *current* timeline for An Agent’s Demise was 2005/6 with the news full of London bombings, and the ongoing rows about dodgy dossiers. If I continue the story what is the political background; more of the same or are there some other incidents I can use to blend in fact with my fiction. I had several starting points and incidents before I settled on one start only to change it completely last weekend. Now I need to follow the plot through and unlike the original when I wrote it I still do not know how it will end. ## Characters An Agent’s Demise was criticised because of it’s large cast and extensive use of aliases for the lead character. Some of this was deliberate, the lead character accidentally creates a name, Mike, which is inadvertently shared with other Mikes, Michaels, and Micks in the story. The large cast prompted me to include a cast list at the start of the book. So starting the new book and wanting to introduce new characters, how do I remove others and narrow the cast to reasonable proportions? This is further complicated by the need to include back story elements. If I kill off a character, well remove them from the story, can I legitimately bring them back. Would the reader want a back story on that part to explain where they had been. No Dallas shower dreams to render huge chunks of storyline irrelevant but the Bourne films managed to bring the lead back from his escape as the main story – nice technique but not one easy to replicate or amend. Of course that process can influence. Police procedural series always have a new case, a new killer because that is the nature of police work, some of these series have led to plenty of books featuring the lead protagonist from Poirot to Morse to Rebus. The Jack Reacher series has several thrillers, but these heroes never seem to get older, slower and don’t forget Bond, the films change the lead character to refresh and has spawned whole new plots that Ian Fleming never envisaged. The plot links are tenuous, suddenly old friends or past incidents that were never mentioned in the first books appear as back story in the new book. Travel never takes time, daily routine never interferes, apartments are always immaculate or sparse, no clothes are washed. Life doesn’t exist in these stories. I appreciate people don’t want reality in a story but that leaves a sequel in more trouble. At the end of every Bond film (not the Daniel Craig series interestingly), Bond is left with a girl but in the next film the girl is gone. The only exception is the killed wife who is occasionally mentioned. Still those sequels have had huge success as books and derived films. ## Back Story and References To The First Book How much back story should be included? At one point it felt like I was re-writing the first book in précis form which was even more confusing due to the large cast. I have backed off from this but it will need further revision. I want the book to follow on, but I also want a new reader to enjoy the book on it’s own. Is that an impossible ask? Are my only readers going to be people who have read *Demise*? Lots of authors have had to solve this problem even JKR doesn’t try to make the Harry Potter Series as stand alone books. Neither does Tolkien with Lord of The Rings. Some authors do, some more successfully than others, but I have also read works where the book is impossible without having read earlier parts – I just wish I knew that before I purchased the book I tried to read. I have resorted to making some references to the previous story with a quick explanation back story sentence. Whether this technique will be successful or not I’ll have to wait and see. ## The Writing Bug Will this story be it or will it again lead to a new story? A Book Three, at the moment I simply do not know as I do not have an ending. I barely have a middle! The other question is of course should I even write this sequel. It’s too late for that now, I have to write it, it’s now an itch I have to scratch but it’s more than that a need that must be fulfilled, just like writing in general. During my unemployment I wrote a lot three/four books and the starts of several others, now I’m working again I have much less time to write, but I need to, I just have to. I don’t mean blogs or tweets I mean disappearing into an imaginary world, however close to reality, and letting characters that run around in my brain at inconvenient moments put down their thoughts onto my computer’s paper. I was on the tube the other day and a man opposite looked around the carriage immediately my head was full of my lead character doing the same action. Last weekend that incident transformed into a piece of counter surveillance technique on a New York Metro, thanks whoever you were. I explained this compulsion and the characters taking over to a friend at dinner the other night, she had just flicked her hair in a particular way and I said that a little thing like that would appear as a tiny half sentence in a character and she would effectively be in the book, it is already. The dinner was on Friday night, by Saturday afternoon that tiny inconsequential gesture was part of a character. Nothing like my friend but the gesture was there. Is this what psychosis is therefore do all writers suffer from schizophrenia with their multiple personalities as their characters. When I am absorbed in writing whether a sequel or not I disappear, but when the book is finished I want to leave the characters behind, going back to some of them isn’t always like visiting old friends you haven’t seen for ages, sometimes it’s like visiting a school reunion, yes you might want to see how people turned out but do you really want to meet the school bully who made your life hell, or see that old girl/boy who you had a crush on. Visiting my favourite characters for the sequel is a mixed blessing. Still enough blogging more writing, there was another incident I watched that I want to write about, just a police car speeding down Marylebone Street… *blue lights flashing as Mike walked by with barely a glance at the noise of the blues and twos…* ###### Related articles - [To sequel or not to sequel?](http://alliepottswrites.wordpress.com/2013/11/20/to-sequel-or-not-to-sequel/) (alliepottswrites.wordpress.com) - Discuss: Sequels and Re-imaginations (readingredux.wordpress.com) - The Plotting Grid and Synopses (delvewriters.com) - [Sequels Sometimes A Bad Thing](http://undergradreviews.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/sequels-sometimes-a-bad-thing/) (undergradreviews.wordpress.com) - [Pros and Cons of Writing a Sequel](http://booklogix.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/pros-and-cons-of-writing-a-sequel/) (booklogix.wordpress.com) - What I’ve Learned About Using Scenes and Sequels (exploringeliza.com) **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** An Agent's Demise, Arts, book, Bourne, Daniel Craig, Harry Potter, Jack Reacher, Lord of The Rings, Philip G Henley, Sequel, Survivors, The Persuasive Man, The World of Fives, To The Survivors --- ### [Time For Numbers](https://phenweb.co.uk/time-for-numbers/) **Published:** April 27, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** *Time For Numbers was written in 2014* I have been contemplating numbers and their connection with time for years. What time is it? Do not look at your watch or clock it’s a more fundamental question than that. Recently during the writing of my upcoming Sci-Fi book, [*The World of Fives*](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/the-world-of-fives-the-observer-series-part-one/ "The Observers – Book One – The World of Fives"), I had to do more than think. I had to calculate and check and that led to more contemplation on the nature of time and numbers. I am not a physicist and I certainly could not express any deep understanding of Stephen Hawking’s *Brief History of Time* and it’s ilk. The factual calculations of time, dimensions and particle physics can become exceptionally confusing. Even the concepts and hypothesis espoused are confusing. My own issues concerned why human beings count and have a calendar and clock numbering systems that are the way they are. For non-Western based societies I will refer to the general calendar in use around the world and the general time system. This means 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in the year (let’s not get into leap years just yet). Then breaking back down to 12 months in a year or 52 weeks of seven days. The question is why these seemingly arbitrary numbers are in use? As I mentioned with the aside on Leap years the Earth does not orbit in 365 days. We correct for the inaccuracy of our counting method. Wikipedia quotes… “For example, in the [Gregorian calendar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar), each leap year lasts 366 days instead of the usual 365, by [extending February to 29 days](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_29) rather than the common 28 days. Similarly, in the lunisolar [Hebrew calendar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar), [Adar Aleph](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adar_1), a 13th lunar month is added seven times every 19 years to the twelve lunar months in its common years to keep its calendar year from drifting through the seasons.”There are some variations to Leap years for example no 29th Feb every 100 years to correct this inaccuracy and of course the Gregorian calendar only dates to 1582 AD, another arbitrary year based on a possible religious date which is historically disputed. The Chinese and Hebrew calendars are older and adjust leap years differently. Then we have the expired Mayan Calendar – what did happen to the apocalypse? All this discussion misses the point, why 60 seconds, 60 minutes and why 24 hours? We use base 10 mostly to count probably based on the number of digits on our hands. Why not base 5 or base 8 fingers, or base 20 fingers with thumbs and toes. Base two, binary for computing with hexadecimal base 16 in the mix. The UK used base 12 for currency, pennies in a shilling, then base 20, shillings in a pound, up until decimalisation. Horse racing still uses guineas (21 shillings or £1.05p) to measure prize money or the value of a race horse. Weight measures were even stranger and still are Pound to Kilos then the USA uses a different gallon measurement. No wonder children get confused. Mathematicians will look at divisors and factors to explain the usefulness of a particular number but that is applying mathematical research to a number that has already chosen. Why 24 hours in the first place? Why not 25 or 20 or 10 or… Twenty-four has the following factors or divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24, whereas 10 only has 1, 2, 5 and 10. Twelve or 24 hours clocks have an advantage of an exact third of the time period. Decimal is left with the inexact .333333 recurring. Not that there is an exact third of a year, 4 months? Which 4 months have you chosen was that including February in a leap year? A third of a year in days is 121 and two-thirds days; better in a leap year with 122 days. Financial institutions report in quarters, but that is different for each quarter. With the first quarter not always the first in a year but in a financial year. There is little point in arguing for a decimal calendar or clock although fractions of a second are normally displayed in decimal, but a half and a quarter are all used. My own conflict came in describing time zones and time concepts. As I write this it is nearly Sunday evening in Sydney Australia yet Sunday morning here in the UK with it’s single time zone. Thanks to imperial history and the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and meridian 0º Latitude now called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) we have defined time zones for the Earth. Time is managed by exceptionally accurate atomic clocks, which use a variety of techniques to measure the decay of particles or movement of electrons, which are then translated into fractions of a second which… See where I am going with this? We use a physical event to force an arbitrary number called a second and so on. But I skipped over the interesting bit. If you spend your time communicating or travelling with other nations the concept of time zones becomes common. You can easily end up talking to or visiting someone where it is tomorrow, only of course it is not *Tomorrow*. We are not time travelling, it is the same time only measured differently in each location, to fit another human construct local clocks. So in Sci-Fi ignoring such inconveniences of light speed travel and relative effects, what do next week, last week, tomorrow etc. mean? If an alien race operates on different counting methodologies, with different length of days, years how would they split the day. What is a day after all? The reference to day can mean different things. Is it 24 hours or the period of daylight or the period between sunrise and sunset? The day light calculation varies with the seasons and the Earth’s solar orbit. On another planet of different size the day may be longer or shorter, the year longer or shorter and perhaps more variable with a more elliptic orbit. In my Sci-Fi the travelling humans refer back to UTC but have learned to live with the complexities of the impact between, planetary time, Earth time, ship time and another planet’s time. How do you take language terminology for measurements of time, which fill our vocabulary, and even begin to describe what next week means? Perhaps our exploring ancestors had the same difficulties with native tribes when they explored the Earth. Did the Aztec or Inca pupils complain that they did not know when next week was when the Conquistadors tried to impose their calendar on the natives’ solar calendars? I think they might have had other things on their minds. These calendars were at least based on true alignment with the solar events unlike the western Gregorian calendar. Seasons vary not just north and south but east and west and meteorologically based on weather patterns. The end of the solar year (end being an arbitrary term) should occur with the winter solstice shortest/longest day in northern/southern hemispheres respectively but of course this is not Geo-spatially correct, as the closets and furthest distances from the sun are not coincidental with the solstices. Perihelion was on 4th January 2014 at 11:59 UTC, that was the closest approach to the sun and aphelion the furthest approach is scheduled for 4th July at 00:13 UTC. In 2015 aphelion will be on 6th July at 19:40 UTC but perihelion remains on the 4th January at 06:36 UTC. This cycle varies every 22,000 to 26,000 years. Religious festivals coincidental to any of these dates have very little to do with it. Working time linked to daylight, daylight savings time, working hours are all arbitrary constructs based on historical patterns. As we finally begin to travel into our own solar system we will have to think differently. A lunar colony will have a lunar day and year based on orbits of the Earth and the sun. A Martian day is approximately 2.7% longer than earth. Its year is 686.98 Earth solar days, or 668.5991 sols (variable) so nearly twice as long as Earth. What will the questions how old are you and what time is it mean to future dwellers and explorers? Now what time is it? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** base ten, days of the week, decimal, Gregorian calendar, Hebrew calendar, months, numbers, Philip G Henley, physics, planet, Sci Fi, seasons, Solar System, stephen hawking, The World of Fives, time, UTC --- ### [London's Sights](https://phenweb.co.uk/londons-sights/) **Published:** July 24, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Had a great day on Wednesday doing a river dinner cruise on the Thames and seeing London’s sights.

As an example I am using Intervention the second part of The Observer Series. Whether what I display makes it into the final cut we will have to see. I am over 50,000 words into the story. The main tool I use is [Scrivener](http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php), the chapter manuscript is in the centre of the screen with the list of proposed chapter headings, characters and places/scenes on the left. All my writing is done here and the formatting for eBooks and Paperbacks using Scrivener’s Compile feature. ![Writer's craft Scrivenor](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/screen-shot-2015-05-02-at-10-21-39-1-300x204.png)In the continuing absence of an iPad version for Scrivener, I use [Index Card](http://www.denvog.com/app/index-card/) when I am away from my desktop Mac. It does link with Scrivener but it s not the same. (Editors note: Scrivener now has full iPad version) ![Index Card](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/maincorkboardstackcount-300x400-2.png)The next tool I use is to keep my timeline straight. This is [Aeon Timeline](http://www.scribblecode.com/) which integrates with Scrivener. This one shows a couple of Arcs (chapters or scenes) with events and then cross linked to characters, scenes etc. I do not need this for all my stories but when it gets complicated i.e. with travel, synchronous events, etc. it keeps things organised ![Aeon](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/screen-shot-2015-05-02-at-10-21-20-1-1024x636.png)Next comes the ever present Excel. Nothing very clever here, apart from all the ratios and calculations to convert Earth measurements and time into my alien settings. Of course I do not need this for every story but I find it essential in my SciFi. I like to think that my stories could work if you ignore the faster than light etc elements. Before I used Scrivener and Aeon, I also used it for character lists and timelines i.e. calculating how old people are and what day of the week it was/will be. ![Excel](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/screen-shot-2015-05-02-at-10-22-03-1-1024x630.png)Finally, there is, of course, research needed to aid the writer’s craft. In the screen shot below, from a Physics site, (), I was checking up on how G is calculated, then using the formula in Excel to calculate for my other planets. Research varies considerably from [Google Maps](https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.8382004,-2.3278149,6z) for other stories to University research papers that I read when writing [To The Survivors](https://phenweb.wordpress.com/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors") about how viruses spread. ![Research](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/screen-shot-2015-05-02-at-10-23-46-1-829x1024.png)I know that many writers use other tools from simple text editors to complex design systems for covers. I use [PaintShop Pro](http://www.paintshoppro.com/en/) for that. One of my last Windows only tools. Keep trying to learn others but have not found a layered system one (that can import my old ones), as easy to use – I just wish there was a Mac version – come on Corel anyone would think Macs were new! I have also used a CAD program for laying out physical buildings and mind-mapping software – that was in [An Agent’s Rise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-rise/ "An Agent’s Rise") and I actually created the mind map I had the characters do. **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** Aeon Timeline, An Agent's Rise, E-book, Editing, Excel, Fiction, Google Maps, Index Card ios, Paintshop Pro, Philip G Henley, Publishing, Sci Fi, Science Fiction, Scrivener, The Observer Series Part Two Intervention, To The Survivors, Writers Resources, Writing tools --- ### [Almost Retired - From Formal Work](https://phenweb.co.uk/almost-retired-from-formal-work/) **Published:** March 31, 2022 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Today 31st March is a strange day. Following redundancy I have decided to retire from full-time employment. I wish I could say my working life has [No Regrets](https://web.archive.org/web/20220429020026/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPXiF4OdJMo) like the song but there have been many. I didn’t do it all [My Way](https://archive.org/details/Frank_Sinatra_My_Way_Video) either despite many positives. So now I’m almost retired. ## History I started full time work with a small company called Microwave Associates as an electronics technician before moving to British Aerospace testing missile components – which could be a lot of fun – I had a penchant for blowing things up. I joined the Royal Air Force and was commissioned in time for the end of the Falklands War, luckily I didn’t go down there until later. After 17.5 years I left to start a civilian career. I had lots of jobs with lots of different companies, some so-called permanent roles and then may engagements was a contractor. Some contractor roles lasted longer than the permanent ones. That was before returning to full time for the last ten years or so and now that has come to an end. So what do I mean about being almost retired? ## Almost Retired – What Now Of course, never say never, but… I have hectic plans for the next few months, and a very long list of things that I have been putting off. Now, I may I have more time. I’ll continue to write whenever I can or get the urge. I’ll still take photos and post some. I hope to get my guitar and piano back to a decent standard (Not much hope there). Perhaps, I will finish digitising old photo albums. My much better half has a few things planned, and we have travel plans too. Perhaps another long distance walk, now the memory of the pain of the last few days of [South Downs ](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-south-downs-way-happy-walks-in-natural-england/ "The South Downs Way – Happy walks in Natural England")has dimmed. All these plans depend on maintaining our health and keeping finances in budget. ## Reflections This is a time to reflect, and I have been over the last few weeks. The clock has slowly ticked down. No more email and Teams meetings. No more deadlines and fighting corporate bureaucracy. I will miss work colleagues, but I won’t miss late night go-lives or security incidents. None of us know how long we’ll have left to enjoy life. I certainly intend to enjoy what time I do have without worrying about booking leave and making sure that task is complete. So, a new chapter begins. That reminds me I need to get writing…. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Online Writing, Philip G Henley, Retirement, Writing --- ### [AI Killing Writing and Creative Content](https://phenweb.co.uk/ai-killing-writing-and-creative-content/) **Published:** October 12, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Is AI killing writing? I have been contemplating the relentless spread of AI in our lives for a few years. Here I’m not covering chatbots or the danger from social media robots flooding forums. There are enough articles on those without my input. My viewpoint is from the writer’s perspective. I’m trying to ignore the AI tool sitting in the interface for this website which can create content… Most recently, I wrote about it in my novel [Dissemblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/dissemblance/). This was not the primary focus of the book, but rather a section dedicated to the production of a TV series. The book is set in 2037/8, although I wouldn’t describe it as science fiction. The main subject is memories of an undergraduate looking back from that date. Here’s one small passage from the story about the use of AI to improve TV show dubbing. ### Dissemblance Quote 1 > “…the AI will have to adjust mouths to fit the dialogue when it gets done. The dubbing experts, or I should say the AIs. They have that down to a fine art alongside instant translation into however many languages you want with associated adjusted mouth movements and expressions. It’s hard to spot any dubbed dialogue in anything produced in the last few years, given that the original is not an actor but an AI’s avatar.” AI-generated versions, I fear, will replace writing, narrating, translations, photography, and even complete so-called live-action TV and movies. The trend is already in place. Green screens for special effects have spread to whole scenes. Animated AI avatar actors will soon replace real actors. ## AI Killing Writing Impact ### Writing So, is AI killing writing? Writing, including new text, can be generated or altered in seconds. We are adding or expanding descriptive content. This is spreading fast from the original word-processing tools of grammar and spelling checkers. Now there are checks on writing style, reading ease, and passive sentence amounts, with some additional tools covering generation and humanising as well as AI detection (in an AI tool!). What might be the reasons for the numerous legal actions taken by writers against AI companies for using their books to train the AI? Here is one of many [articles](https://www.techtarget.com/WhatIs/feature/AI-lawsuits-explained-Whos-getting-sued) listing the actions. So far, the legal case results have been mixed. The list below is a features list from one I’ve used for grammar checking for a while. ![AI killing Writing Quillbot Options](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-1024x244.png)Other tools go further into text creation. For example, blurb creation. ### Blurb Creation This one [AI Blurb Generator](https://generatestory.io/blurb-generator/) also has other tools available to create blurbs as well as text. I fed in the requests for a blurb on AI destroying some creative arts. Under five seconds later I had a blurb. ![AI Killing Blurb generation](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-1-1024x1021.png) Of course other AI generators are available, not least the ubiquitous [ChatGPT.](https://chatgpt.com/) Its input from me and output reproduced below in under 2 secs. ![AI killing Creative ChatGPT](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/AI-killing-Creative-ChatGPT.png)Have I used these tools? I’ve dabbled, but my content is my own, including so-called grammar errors and other mistakes. How long can I resist? I’m not certain how long I can continue to not use AI. ### AI Marketing If AI could actually produce marketing that benefitted my sales rather than Amazon’s and Google’s income, then maybe I’d use it for that. So far I haven’t seen anything that can achieve that without paying more than a normal ad, which doesn’t work. AI hasn’t helped me get my books made into movies or TV shows. There is currently no quick AI-generated fix that can instantly produce a successful script. Yes, there are AI script creators. ## AI Killing Audiobook Narration I appreciate my wonderful real narrators listed via the ACX platform on audiobook pages and individual titles. I thank them for their work and interpretation. They bring their voices to my work. However, I think their time may be coming to an end. Take Amazon, the owner of ACX. A new option, Virtual Voice, has appeared on the KDP platform alongside the buttons to create hardback, paperback, and Kindle formats. ![KDP Virtual Voice](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-3.png)Here shown for Dissemblance. Don’t worry, a real narrator is working on that book. If that audiobook is published, then the button is no longer available. ![AI Killing Writing VV Option KDP](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-4.png) The quality of the output remains closer to text-to-speech tools. Those have long been available and have an excellent purpose for the visually impaired. The new output narration requires considerable tweaking currently, especially for dialogue, but it’s getting better. What can we expect in ten years’ time? ### Translations Translations have long been available such as [Google Translate](https://translate.google.pt). ![AI Killing Google Translate](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-5-1024x283.png)I’ve used real translators via [Babelcube](https://www.babelcube.com/), who I also appreciate, but again, auto-translate will take over. It’s faster and, for some, cheaper. ### AI Killing images and Animations? AI photography and animation are not just about deep fakes and social media jokes. I did one converting a photo of my son in the garden with our dog to show him with real sheep in the garden. It took under 30 seconds for ChatGPT to create it. That was done as a joke, but deepfake scandals have shown what is possible. Not only can ChatGPT create lewd pictures of mostly female celebrities, but it can also create something from nothing. I asked ChatGPT to ‘*create a picture of a spy following a woman in 1950s style.*’ There wasn’t much information available for the tool, and the rendering process took some time. If I’d been more specific, it would have been quicker. There are many alternative systems on the Internet. Could this be a potential cover for my next book? With refinement, I could have asked for ‘*real*‘ people or changed the date setting. ![AI Killing Spy woman 1950s](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-6-1024x683.png)*By the way the featured image is also a ChatGPT effort.* ### Music Another selection from [Dissemblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/dissemblance/): > More concerns for creatives… The Grammys stopped two years ago. It was impossible to know which music had genuine artists. > > Live shows have AI support for original delivery, and you cannot tell what is real and what is AI-produced. My various types of parents told me that it very quickly went from voice tuning and backing tracks to everything AI. No artists to pay. Copyright arguments didn’t matter despite numerous high-profile court cases. What exactly is a live performance or a studio recording? All the cases did was expose how many adjustments there were in the studio and on stage. > > … The Beach Boys’ Good Vibrations from the 1960s was used as an example. That was physical tape overdubbing. Digital replacements for tape and then endless manipulations of wave envelopes. Computers then took over to record or adjust their performance before AI took that to the current extremes. Did the artists know? Of course they did. They lost. The rights holders and producers lost. The AIs took over ### AI killing Music Production? If you believe any amplified live performance is entirely authentic, you might be slightly misinformed. My personal bugbear is backing tracks used instead of a band, but even cheap mixers and pedals can transform live sound. The unit below (not just picking on Boss/Roland) has the following features for under £300 (less than a group of backing singers), and I’ve highlighted the real differences from previous generations of older pedals: ``` • Enhance your sound with essential effects like compressor, EQ, delay, echo, reverb, and more. • Create processed sounds with lo-fi, distortion, radio, ring mod, and other specialty effects. • Automatic pitch correction for soft fine-tuning or aggressive electronic tones. • Harmony and doubling functions for creating impressive ensemble vocal sounds. ``` ![](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-7-300x248.png) ## AI Killing the planet – Data Centres and Energy The growth in AI has already created considerable concern with [data centre power ](https://www.iea.org/news/ai-is-set-to-drive-surging-electricity-demand-from-data-centres-while-offering-the-potential-to-transform-how-the-energy-sector-works)(and water for cooling) usage. Lots of social media chatter about that aspect. So is AI killing the planet too? Current energy usage is already concerning and may slow the adoption of renewable and non-fossil fuel generation because of excessive demand. ![AI killing Data Center AI boom](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-8-300x300.png)![AI Killing Data Centres against countries](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/image-9-294x300.png) AI may not just kill off creative arts, but its energy demands may significantly hold back efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions. Another threat to the world. ### AI Killing or Enhancing Censorship One area that has received mixed reviews is the use of AI to impose or remove censorship. This can affect movie or TV production. For example, multiple age-specific versions of a scene where AI adds or removes nudity, violence, or swearing, thus allowing a production to fit with content guidelines. We have seen this with lyrics muddled or altered in songs. Rather than cut scenes completely have multiple versions. ## AI Killing Writing Thoughts So what can any creative do to halt this or adapt to it? Regrettably, the options are limited. The publishing industries, including books and music, as well as the movie and TV production sectors, are primarily controlled by large technology companies. They are only interested in maximum profitability, not the creative process. I fear for the future of professional writers, actors, photographers, camera operators, and sound recorders all losing out to AI. How will they be paid? As with all technological changes, AI will also take over other professions, but art has largely escaped this impact. Automobiles and lorries replacing horse-drawn carts is a notable example. When every book and piece of music is the work of an algorithm, what then for humanity? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** ACX, AI, Babelcube, Boss, Censorship, ChatGPT, Dissemblance, Energy Consumption, Google, Philip G Henley, Publishing, Writing --- ### [Wandering about a Wonder in Wonderful Grammar!](https://phenweb.co.uk/wandering-about-a-wonder-in-wonderful-grammar/) **Published:** August 5, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** I’m *wondering* or *wandering* about which *wonder* to *wander* about.

For the grieving and wounded I doubt it will bring much *closure,* whatever that means? As those of you have been kind enough to read, I too have used the background to the Iraq war for my own scribblings in the [Demise Trilogy](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/the-demise-trilogy/) (available at all good book stores – well Amazon and Lulu anyway) The backdrop to the story is how a conspiracy manipulated data to make the dossiers used to justify the war more compelling. Little did I know that that was close to what the report has unearthed. Of course, we already knew much of this. The farcical claim of a 45 minute of WMD attack on the UK was just that. Anyone who looked at weapons capability in Iraq knew this was a joke. In my view, a criminal misrepresentation of the capability of weapons. To claim the UK was at risk was so far wide of the mark it beggar’s belief that anyone in Intelligence or Senior Military allowed such rubbish to be proposed in a Parliamentary document. In this respect, I would not expect the political leadership to know. They are not experts, they depend on advice yet the rubbish was allowed to stand unchallenged. During a previous life I had the opportunity to be involved in some of the work used to monitor Iraq after the end of the first Iraq war. This was led by UN weapons inspectors and was part of the cease fire agreements put in place after that conflict. Part of my role, was to assess Iraq’s weapons capability, and to then brief my colleagues on their remaining weapons systems. When the claim came out in 2002/3 as a support for the war I was personally astounded. I was out of the military by then but nevertheless that assessment seemed amazing, given the state of their weapons complexes. They were bombed every time Saddam threw the Weapons Inspectors out of the country. ## Chilcot’s Inquiry – The Right War At the time of the war I used to state, *the **right war** for the **wrong reasons***. I meant that Saddam had to go, because he was in constant breach of the ceasefire obligations and certainly intended to get WMD back, not that he had it right then. He continuously threatened his neighbours vowing revenge. Blair has defended himself by stating that Saddam had to go and he would do it again. That may be true but he did not have to go then, nor in that manner, and certainly not for that reason. We were already fighting a difficult war in Afghanistan, and to redeploy troops to a different theatre was madness and again should have been challenged. Saddam was not going anywhere. I say *back* about WMD because he had used chemical weapons against Iran and then against his own Kurdish minority. He had had not used them in the first war simply because he was threatened by the USA of the consequences if he did. Not that that stopped the deployed military being issued with NBC suits and medication in case they were used. During and after the first Iraq war, for the liberation of Kuwait, chemical weapon sites were attacked and stockpiles destroyed. Even after the second war, some small residual caches were found left over from the Iran Iraq war which were mostly rusting artillery shells which were unsafe to fire. By the time the second war came around there was virtually nothing left to attack. The fighting of that war leaves a sour taste due to the tactics employed. Many have concentrated on the failings in equipment and strategy of the British forces and the lack of planning for after the war. It is not the military’s job to plan peace. Their job is to win a war as quickly and effectively as possible. There were major errors in this plan. In particular the destruction of main infrastructure which caused so many problems after the war. For example destroying whole power stations when sub-stations would have created the same effect. Useless destruction of main bridges. The Iraqi military was pitiful, especially after the first Gulf war. Their ability to fight as an Army was so degraded I’m surprised the war lasted as long as it did. The liberating armies became oppressive conquerors and subject to guerilla warfare because the hearts and minds cannot be won when there is no security, no water and no power. From a military assault point of view overwhelming force is the key to win quickly but that is where civilian control comes in. ## Chilcot’s Inquiry – Not Addressed I have previously commented on the lack of military experience in Government on both sides of the Atlantic and in all political parties. Actually it is not just military experience but experience of anything other than politics. There were 650 MPs in parliament who had a vote on going to war. The action was approved 412 to 149. As you can see not all MPs voted. Currently, approximately 50 have served in the Armed Forces. As decisions are normally taken primarily in Government, and directly, supposedly, in Cabinet, it is interesting to note the Chilcot findings. These are on the lack of wider decision making outside the Prime Minister’s office, and the failures of the senior military and Intelligence chiefs. MoD Procurement needs culling – perhaps a few days on the front-line with the equipment they procure would get their priorities right. As for the treasury, Brown was far more interested in undermining Blair than he was in ensuring that the UK’s forces had the right equipment, size and funding to carry out government, Blair/Bush policy. As I have written on previous blogs, Parliament is sovereign it really is time that our MPs not only served their party, but their country. There is no bigger decision then going to war, or not. I would like to think that some of the MPs might actually know what they are arguing about. The evidence suggests they do not, and cannot be bothered to find out. After all it is far more important to spend time briefing against your enemies in your own party than planning for real enemies and threats to the country. For evidence, look at the Blair/Brown actions also going on at this time. The evidence before the war was out there. The distrust of the dossier was known, yet we went to war on a false promise. The pitiful state of our current armed forces is for another day’s writing except – We have Aircraft Carriers being built with no aircraft. Our contribution to Syria, is barely a squadron of planes. Our Royal Navy, once the commander of the seas, has barely enough ships to patrol a harbour. Our response to Putin, is to send *500* troops to Eastern Europe two years after the events. We’ve even stopped allowing the Red Arrows to display at our primary Air Show. Let’s hope we never face a real threat. If we did, someone else could take seven years to write a report that will change nothing. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Amazon Kindle, Amazon.com, An Agent's Demise, An Agent's Prize, An Agent's Rise, Chemical Weapons, Chilcot, E-book, Gordon Brown, Iran, Iraq, Kurdish, Philip G Henley, Red Arrows, Royal Navy, Saddam, The Demise Trilogy, Tony Blair, WMD --- ### [New Butterfly Photos](https://phenweb.co.uk/new-butterfly-photos/) **Published:** August 16, 2021 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Just added some new butterfly photos from the [South Downs Way Walk](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/south-downs-way/ "South Downs Way") and these are one of my favourite things to see.

Result Brexit party formed 6 weeks ago with 32%. Lib Dems (Pro remain) in 2nd with 20% Lots of rubbish combining variations of votes to show that overall the country believes their own opinion based on zero fact. No one knows why someone voted a particular way. Labour, the official opposition lost ground. The Conservatives (allegedly the government) lost even more. The Greens increase (they are remain but for Green) In reality not all Greens are Remain, not all Conservatives are leave. Labour are all over the place and even the former director of comms for Tony Blair, Alistair Campbell stated he voted Lib Dem because he was remain and he did not know what his own party was for. UKIP was destroyed (by Brexit party it is presumed) Scotland voted SNP Northern Ireland voted along sectarian lines with some gain for the middle ground Alliance Party but not enough to win a seat. Wales voted Brexit number 1 party In parliament we’ll have a new Prime Minister soon. The rest of the arithmetic stays the same. Impasse. Next deadline 31st Oct I have no idea what will happen. I believe it was the lack of reform, the ever closer union agenda, and the underlying corruption that drove the UK to vote out in the first place. Remainers continue to claim that immigration was the reason and perhaps it was for some but they miss the point. The rise of the Greens also reflects society’s concern with real big picture stuff i.e. the fate of the planet. Big increase in Germany and UK from 2014. This has been claimed by Remain as support for that cause. I believe it is wider than that. The Netherlands appears to have bucked the trend for movement left and right after several recent elections where the right appeared to be gaining, whereas Italy and Spain showed the same hollowing out as UK. I also compared this EU election with 2009. Nearly all comparisons have been made with 2014. The movement for Lib Dems can then be seen in context. In 2014 the Lib Dems were badly hurt (as they were in the 2015 General Election) by association with the coalition government and in particular the internal to UK position on Tuition fees. They won 13.3% then and 20.3% this time – a 7% increase. In the 2010 General election they won 22% and the 2015 Gen Election only 7.9% – more a recovery to normality in the longer term. Brexit did not exit then let alone a party that has just won 32% of the vote. The then exit party UKIP won 16%. Labour in Government under Gordon Brown in 2009 won 15.2% compared to 14.1% this time. Conservatives now in Government (just) won 27.4% compared to 9.1% now. The Greens won 7.8% in 2009 up to 12.1% this time. Turnout then was 34% and this time 37% Not quite the sea change being described by Remain (for Lib Dems) or Brexit. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Brexit, Conservatives, election, EU, Greens, Lib Dems --- ### [The Modern Dictator?](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-modern-dictator/) **Published:** June 30, 2018 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Human beings seem to have a fascination with the strong man form of government. Both the modern dictator, and their historical predecessors. Sometimes this is masked by the appearance of democratic election but in most cases this gives way to pure dictatorship. We seem to be going through a period of such leaders now. ![Modern Dictators Historical Dictators](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/dictators-300x96.png) In the 1930s many of the great powers of the world had dictatorial leaders. In the intervening period the form of government has continued albeit the leaders have tended to be of smaller countries in terms of world power. That is not to underestimate the damage they have caused to their own countries and their neighbours. Although Putin appears below his leadership has changed a virtually collapsed Russia back into a global power ![Multi dictators](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/dictatorslarge-300x171.png) ## Modern Dictators Now we appear to have entered an era of great dictators once more and a worrying trend in the behaviour of others. Turkish democracy on the surface appears robust with a near 90% turnout in the recent election. But the result of the election was to allow President Erdoğan to claim additional powers. ![Turkey President](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/turkey.jpg) Combine this with further limitations on opposition leaders, the free press and total biased control of the state media and you have the trappings of a one party, one leader state. Throw in the hate for a minority group (the Kurds) that a German citizen in 1938 might recognise. Including direct military intervention across an international border. ![Putin and Assad](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/putin-assad.jpg)![Yunj and Xi](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/xi-kim.jpg) At the start of WWII the dictators appeared to support each other Mussolini, Franco, Stalin and Hitler in Europe with Hirohito in Japan. The USA was isolationist and the Smoot-Hawley Act not only worsened and extended the Great Depression in the USA it also angered its nearest neighbours and allies. Another lesson from history seemingly ignored by the current US President. I am not claiming that the current 45th President of the United States of America is a fascist dictator he just seems to prefer their company and seems unconcerned with angering his allies. There seems to be several common traits on the path to dictatorship. 1. Limit and ridicule free press 2. Ridicule then imprison opposition 3. Appoint cronies to all independent roles 4. Blame outsiders (Terrorists, immigrants, minorities, trade, stealing jobs) 5. Take more powers centrally to help control the situation 6. Appeal to lowest common denominator in electoral support 7. Rig election 8. Take more powers centrally 9. Remove opposition and free press completely (Assassination, imprisonment) 10. Use military force against outside opponents or threaten such 11. Award oneself numerous medals and awards ## *Edit for 2025* Modern Dictators See [Spot The Difference](https://phenweb.co.uk/trump-spot-the-difference-competition/ "Trump – Spot The Difference Competition") See Wikipedia links for rundowns on [various dictators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictator) and their actions. In particular focus on how the [Nazi party came to power in 1930s Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party). It is frightening what is happening with the parallels to the past. Fixing elections, trauma, illegal acts, ignoring courts. The UK is not immune although the focus is on other nations. Let’s not forget the mutual back slapping among the leaders. Watch film of Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler. remember Stalin was Hitler’s ally in the invasion of Eastern Europe before Hitler turned on him. We have Trump believing Putin above all others. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Adolf Hitler, Assad, Dictator, Erdoğan, Facist, Franco, Hirohito, Kim J Sung, Mussolini, Philip G Henley, Publishing, Putin, Smoot-Hawley, Stalin, Trump, Writing, Xi --- ### [Ukraine](https://phenweb.co.uk/ukraine/) **Published:** February 27, 2022 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Support Ukraine ![Ukraine](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ukraine-1024x696.jpg) **Categories:** Commentary Blogs --- ### [Merlot - RIP](https://phenweb.co.uk/merlot-rip/) **Published:** January 6, 2023 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** On Tuesday 3rd we said goodbye to Merlot our 12 year old border collie Merlot – the conqueror of weather, mountains, tennis balls, and long walks.

The never-ending debate on Brexit continues to polarise opinion with now the new PM adding to the fray. His request to the Queen to prorogue the UK Parliament has been treated with varying degrees of support or hostility based entirely on the already dived opinion line of Remain or leave. I wish the Remain camp would stop arguing their opposition is against no deal when they voted against a deal negotiated with 27 other countries. At least the Lib Dems are honest enough to admit that. My concern is in the so called impartiality of figures who should know better and yet claim precedent or lack of it. But I’ll start with the BBC coverage and one headline in particular. ## Fake headlines? Yesterday BBC news and web site reported the following “Pound Falls” is the less of a headline than BBC news which headlined at 18:00 “Pound crashes” on news. The web sites now has *volatile* rather than *crashes*. So what has happened to the pound this month – think I may have mentioned this before ![Sterling Value - Fake](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/stirling-300x186.png) No headline at all about the pound’s *rise* against the dollar. In particular, since the 6th August but a half cent drop on one day is a crash. What happened on the 6th? Not a lot as far as I can tell. Personally, it looks great as I’ve just had to buy some dollars for a forthcoming trip and I’ve had a better rate this week than last. When I heard crash I was worried my next purchase would be harder, but the headline means it must be not that. I’m better buying this week than I was at the start of the month – a real transaction by the way. Really BBC – must do better Now to the meat of the subject – sorry vegans the main point then… The word unprecedented.(dict’ definition ***never*** having happened or existed in the past) As in the *Prorogation of Parliament is unprecedented* or sometimes with the caveat of *in recent history* with no definition of *recent* which given nearly 1,000 years of Parliament is hard to judge. # Prorogue of parliament https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/occasions/prorogation/ ![The longest parliamentary sessions since 1945.](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2b393eda1bde2c836ce0233654a5ac9ca5da144f/0_16_1190_714/master/1190.jpg?width=300&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=e1a7893b3d3caf821dd46bba287aa06b) This is the amount of time for a parliamentary session i.e. the current session being prorogued is quite long, and the longest since the World War II The next use of unprecedented refers to the length of time Parliament is Prorogued in this case 23 days. If we caveat with recent. Then the longest most recent was 1997 for 19 days. There have been much longer periods in history. Elizabeth 1st the first had no sitting parliament for over 3 years. 23 days is not *unprecedented*. Many governments even since universal adult suffrage from 1928 (after the equalisation of the voting ages for men and women) have used various tricks to get their plans through. This has included doing the opposite of now i.e. Prorogation and adding an additional session to prevent House of Lords interference (Labour 1948 to allow nationalisation of Iron and Steel without Lords amendment), or as in the case of 1997, to prevent difficult questions in the House of Commons – The cash For Questions Scandal. In both cases, the government did not resign, nor was there an election. After the break, there was a new Queen’s Speech and a new Parliamentary session. As is proposed to start on 13th October, which I believe is still before 31st October and therefore, MPs still have time to pass or amend legislation. The lack of historical context, despite our long history, continues to be troubling. The NOW generation infects our media reporting. We see this is numerous ways from sports results ignoring decades of previous results just because a competition name changed, to the use of the word democracy, but only when applied to the speaker’s narrow definition of the vote they mean. I.e Johnson is *undemocratic* because he replaced May, whereas Brown replacing Blair, was *democratic* neither were *unprecedented* or *undemocratic*. They are the rules we have lived by for centuries. In the case of Brexit, the UK Sovereign Parliament voted to leave the EU (without a deal) on 1st Feb 2017 as the European Union Bill. It was supported by the Labour leadership, by 498 votes to 114. This remains the default legal position. Since then the same Parliament has rejected 3 times the negotiated deal, and merely passed a delaying law now to 31st Oct or rather a delay requesting the EU to grant an extension.

This blog also provides a forward to my book [Sail Chains](https://phenweb.co.uk/coming-soon/sail-chains/ "Sail Chains"). The current focus on surveillance and privacy is based on the actions of Facebook, Amazon and Google. The allied western intelligence agencies do much more. Previous [blogs](https://phenweb.co.uk/nsa-and-snowden-a-year-on/ "NSA and Snowden – A Year On") Secure communications, tracking, and other jargon is used within this tale. The descriptions are based on real techniques used in Information Technology and Intelligence Surveillance. Some are described below to avoid lengthy passages of explanation in the narrative of the book and here in this blog for public edification. ## Five-Eyes – Snooping Chains Five-Eyes is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries are parties to a multilateral agreement which is a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence. It is a wide ranging agreement and includes facilities in each country including the Government Communication Headquarters, GCHQ, in Cheltenham, UK, and the National Security Agency, NSA, with its HQ at Fort Meade in the USA. Both organisations also carry out their own operations and programmes. Many of these programmes were known in small parts to the media and hence general public; however the extent of these programmes was not well known until the revelations leaked or stolen by Edward Snowden. [Hadn’t realised this comes 10 years after Snowden’s revelations.](https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/07/10_years_after_snowden/) ![Snooping Chains - GCHQ](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/aerial-view-of-doughnut.jpg) GCHQ ![NSA Signpost](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/nsa_sign-720x720-1.jpg)NSA Sign post Legal restrictions in all Five Eyes countries are supposed to restrict or prevent gathering of information on citizens. Secret courts, FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) in USA and CMPs (Closed Material Procedures) in UK provide legal cover. Parliamentary or Congressional scrutiny is very limited. In many cases the elected representatives or their advisors do not have sufficient levels of security clearance to see the material about the programmes let alone the technical understanding of the implications. The NSA is not supposed to spy on US citizens without a warrant but they can collect data about US citizens whilst spying on foreigners. In one example 90% of the data collected in one sweep was about US citizens (>9,500 citizens out of 11,000 contacts). In this way GCHQ can spy on US Citizens and vice versa and each can pass data to the other through the Five Eyes and not be subject to any scrutiny. It is clear from multiple sources that this spying is not just on threats but also on journalists, whistleblowers and multiple other targets that the security services have decided are legitimate targets. ## Snowden The main details were leaked by [Edward Snowden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden) to two reporters [Barton Gellman](https://www.bartongellman.com/) who published via the Washington Post and [Glenn Greenwald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Greenwald) in The Guardian. A film maker, [Laura Poitras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Poitras) conducted interviews and also acted as a go-between, especially between Snowden and Gellman during the initial contacts when source VERAX was making contact. Many of the electronic copies of papers and programme details remain unreleased by the journalists. The NSA and GCHQ continue to deny many of the details, see [here](https://www.electrospaces.net "https://www.electrospaces.net") ## STELLARWIND was the code name of a warrant less surveillance program begun under the George W. Bush administration’s President’s Surveillance Program. The National Security Agency (NSA) program was approved by President Bush shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks and was revealed by Thomas Tamm to The New York Times in 2004. **STELLARWIND**’s output is fed into the **MAINWAY** database ## PRISM **PRISM** is a code name for a program under which the NSA collects internet communications from various US internet companies. The NSA had placed collection systems directly in the data centres of the large tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook and others. Due to the nature of Internet routing many non-US connections route or partially route via the data centres. Thus privacy campaigners use Virtual Private Networks, VPNs, and other techniques to mask their messages. These techniques are also used by enemies including terrorists. ## MAINWAY **MAINWAY** is a database maintained by the NSA (and Five Eyes partners) containing metadata for hundreds of billions of telephone calls made through the four largest telephone carriers in the United States: AT&T, SBC, BellSouth (all three now called AT&T) and Verizon. The existence of this database and the NSA program that compiled it was unknown to the general public until USA Today broke the story on May 10, 2006. It is estimated that the database contains over 1.9 trillion call-detail records. The records include detailed call information (caller, receiver, date/time of call, length of call, etc.) for use in traffic analysis and social network analysis, but do not include audio information or transcripts of the content of the phone calls. ## Contact Chaining Contact Chaining is a method of querying data held in **MAINWAY** to produce contact maps and then using associated algorithms of contacts of a target several levels away e.g. secondary, tertiary and beyond contact of contacts of contacts. Because **MAINWAY** holds historical data, officially 5 years worth for US citizens but with many caveats, previous contacts can be traced. Exceptions to deletion are any link to on-going or security investigations. This gives rise to an exponential increase in potential contacts. If the first contact has ten contacts and each has ten more and these in turn have ten more at 3rd degree of separation there are now 10x10x10 = 1,000. Most humans have far more than 10 contacts thus chains become very large very quickly. The game 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, the US Actor, demonstrates this is more humorous ways. Algorithms are used to reduce the numbers or combine them into groups. This data is then combined with other communications data, for example, social medial posts and email, to build up a contact map. The seed in this case is the initial target or intercept which by correlating with another seed B. Contact C is thus linked in the chain. ![Snooping chains - a chain](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/iu.jpg) Or a real one shown by the US news programme 60 Minutes ![NBC Real Chain](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/nsa-60minutes-contactgraph2-1024x574.jpg)Any one of these contacts or nodes could be the enemy that is sought or allow movements, locations and activity patterns to be tracked thus enabling potential targeting for surveillance or more direct action. Sometimes the enemy is unknown. The node shown is a phone, email address, social media handle, website, which the technique attempts to link to an individual or organisation. A phone number of a head office could be used by hundreds of contacts. How the data is processed into **MAINWAY** with other named systems mentioned is shown below: ![Mainway Dataflow showing Government Snooping Chains](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/mainway-dataflow2.jpg) Enemies attempt to hide this activity by changing contact methods, encryption of the content of messages and other evasion techniques. For the NSA and GCHQ they are also tasked with creating method of protecting data from such intercepts by foreign powers or bad actors. Other techniques such as operating cell techniques can founder with just a single contact under the chain. Thus operational security measures are overcome. For example two terrorist cells with a leadership planning a coordinated attack can be linked. ## CO-TRAVELER – Snooping Chain of Phones A system called **CO-TRAVELER** is designed to track who meets with whom and covers everyone who carries a mobile/cell phone, all around the world. **CO-TRAVELER** collects billions of records daily of phone user location information. The ultimate snooping change in terms of privacy. It maps the relationships of mobile/cell phone users across global mobile network cables, gathering data about who you are physically with, and how often your movements intersect with other phone users. The program even tracks when your phone is turned on or off. ## TOR – Protects from government snooping chains or does it? Tor is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication by directing Internet traffic through a worldwide overlay network. It consists of more than seven thousand relays designed to conceal a user’s location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace the Internet activity to the user: this includes “visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms”. Tor’s intended use is to protect the personal privacy of its users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential communication by keeping their Internet activities unmonitored. It was created by the Office of Naval Research and [DARPA](https://www.darpa.mil/) as a security protection project and the papers from Snowden demonstrated that the NSA had managed to set up infiltration into the network. ## Snooping Chains – VPNs – Encrypt channels of communication thus protecting chains but not that a connection exists Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are encrypted channels between one or more network points. They normally use some form of shared encryption key between the end points thus preventing interception of the communication content; however, the metadata (data about data) can still be traced including locations, of end points, times of transmission, etc. Therefore, **STELLARWIND** can collect this data and deposit into **MAINWAY** for use in Contact Chaining. If a phone is used as the data connection **CO-TRAVELER** can match locations and obtain more metadata in addition to location and other data sources nearby. ## GCHQ – The Government’s Snooping Chain GCHQ has a different set of names achieving the same ends which consist of its own snooping chains. The snooping chains include the applications **CARPART, PRIMETIME, SNAPDRAGON, MoaG, SORTING FRIENDS**. These send data into a system called **CHART BREAKER**, and onwards into **CONTACT LENS** which is the Contact Chaining output from **MAINWAY** and **CHART BREAKER** **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Barton Gellman, CARPART, CHART BREAKER, CO-TRAVELLER, Contact Chaining, CONTACT LENS, Edward Snowden, Five-Eyes, GCHQ, Glenn Greenwald, LauraPoitras, MAINWAY, MoaG, NSA, Phenweb Publishing, Philip G Henley, PRIMETIME, PRISM, Sail Chains, SNAPDRAGON, SORTING FRIENDS, STELLARWIND, The Register, TOR, VPN --- ### [NSA and Snowden - A Year On](https://phenweb.co.uk/nsa-and-snowden-a-year-on/) **Published:** June 8, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** NSA and Snowden was written in 2014 but the revelations remain concerning and technology, surveillance and privacy remain key issues Another anniversary this past week. After the commemoration of D-Day 70 years ago on the 6th June, something far less significant in multiple nation’s collective memories, it is one year since The Guardian first printed Edward Snowden’s revelations about the activities of the NSA, GCHQ et al. For an excellent commentary and summation read the article on [The Register.](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/05/how_the_interenet_was_broken/) The article covers not only the scope of what was revealed but also discusses the impact of these revelations. It is clear there is still much to be revealed, and there is also the on-going reluctance of the British Press in particular to publish some of the revelations. Most notably, the Register also published details about the international fibre and communication link tapping operations notably in Oman. Quoting from the [article](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/03/revealed_beyond_top_secret_british_intelligence_middleeast_internet_spy_base/) from 2nd June. **Exclusive** Above-top-secret details of Britain’s covert surveillance programme – including the location of a clandestine British base tapping undersea cables in the Middle East – have so far remained secret, despite being leaked by fugitive NSA sysadmin Edward Snowden. Government pressure has meant that some media organisations, despite being in possession of these facts, have declined to reveal them. Today, however, the *Register* publishes them in full.So not only do we have hidden spying activity, no surprise there, but a marked reluctance by our own media to discuss the issue. The often quoted excuse for not discussing the issues is that it put lives at risk and harms the nation. This is made as a statement with no factual information to back it up. Proof of a negative is always difficult, but really lives at risk from the UK public knowing that a location in Oman is built and operated for the entire purpose of monitoring Internet communication links, something that the locals in Oman. all the people who built and service the staions and all the agencies know, but the British public must not.This reminds me of the farcical situation a few years ago when Ordnance Survey Maps and road atlases would show blank empty spaces where UK military and other sensitive bases were. Meanwhile the then Soviet Union was scanning those places with satellite photography almost hourly. So our prospective enemy knew what was there (at least what building were) but the British Public was not allowed to see that just inside the main gate was the entrance to the Officers’ Mess and NAAFI next to the tennis court. I have never been able to understand why this was the case, this in built secrecy left over from the war, like changing the road signs around as if an invader would not have a compass and discover our ruse. Back to NSA and the latest series of revelations. The sheer scope and scale of the observations are in one way comforting, our spies are spying, protecting us. They claim to have prevented all sorts of illegal actions like Germany stealing a march on trade negotiations or when Chancellor Merkel was getting home from the state dinner. The plumbed into the content not just metadata of every single telephone call in the Bahamas. How many pizza takeaway orders were there? We should be told about this vital contribution to national security. The sheer scale of the monitoring beggars belief yet it has raised the merest flicker of interest in the UK. I believe that some of this is down to media jealousy. Much like the Telegraph when it broke the MPs’ expenses scandal. The Guardian had an exclusive and the rest of the media seemed reluctant to follow up. Whether Snowden was right to release the information will be a matter for history to judge there has been a media backlash against him pushed forward by the self same agencies he has allegedly harmed. The bottom line is that like MPs these agencies work for us. GCHQ is funded by the taxpayer, if it is wasting needed national resources discovering how many of us posted tweets on our favourite dogs isn’t it justified that we question what they are spending our money on. At a time of national austerity with ongoing cuts still impacting numerous government spending, what exactly are we getting for our money. Our MPs don’t seem to want to find out as I have previously blogged [here](http://phenweb.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/spying-and-oversight/ "Spying and Oversight"). Our media for spitefulness , boredom or just plain laziness have not followed up. Where is the probing Channel 4 or BBC Panorama expose? Yes, they have reported on the Snowden allegations but where is their own investigation adding to the story. The NSA intercepting and tampering with Cisco routers was an allegation without specificity from Snowden. Then film emerged of the NSA doing it, it’s referenced in The Register’s article but still the doubters question Snowden’s authenticity. This week, having claimed for months that they had no emails from Snowden complaining about anything, they suddenly released one email from him. How did they manage to find that? No emails means no emails, not one. Where are the others he cannot have sent just one? Another scandal waiting to happen unreported in the mainstream press. My final comments for today concern the real issue. On Friday we commemorated a major step in the fight to bring freedom to Europe. Freedom what does that mean? Freedom in my view is about freedom from oppression, free to think, comment and express opinions. The Internet has greatly extended this freedom. It has also given us the freedom to shop, post dog and children videos and endless meaningless chatter. The e-commerce activities have been significantly undermined by our so called security agencies deliberate attempts to break encryption and other secure systems. There actions have made us less secure as a whole. Billions of financial transactions are at risk because of exploits they either created or left in place so that they could spy on everything else. This is akin to a policeman breaking the locks of every house in case he needs to raid it at some stage in the future or a doctor creating a virus so that he always has plenty of patients. This is not security, this is not in my interest and it’s a colossal waste of resources. Every part of government is scrutinised about how it spends our money except this one. Perhaps our own MPs might do the job they are elected to do rather than the one their party or government tells them to do. Cosy-ing up to the security services is not their job, representing us is; I wonder if they ever will? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** BBC, Censorship, Channel 4, Cisco, email, GCHQ, MP, NSA, resources, secret, security service, Snowden, The Register --- ### [How Far Should I Go?](https://phenweb.co.uk/how-far-should-i-go/) **Published:** July 27, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** One of the interesting things about writing my own books, has been the explicitness question i.e. how far should I go? This covers several different elements; I’ll try and cover my reasoning for each. Language – should characters swear at each other. I personally, have nothing against the use of swear words, although a lot of dialogue used in movie adaptions, or TV, seem to go further than the books on which they are based. I have used swear words, but minimally, and only where I think it adds to the plot. I have not written an action packed crime thriller or gangsta rap piece. If I did, I may swear more, but even then, I would want to keep it to a minimum. DH Lawrence used sexually explicit words in his descriptions and conversations. I have not, but then again I am not DH Lawrence by any stretch of the imagination. - Sex – I have been told there is a lot of sex in my book, there is some but define *a lot*. For the lead characters it is part of their engagement with each other, it’s also critical to the lead protagonists behaviour before he meets his girl. This is an adult thriller not an adult book. I could have been more explicit, I could have been less. I have found that in a lot of thrillers, in this genre, sex is missing or skipped over. I wanted to make sure it was there. - Violence – Like the sex, there is some, not as explicit as a slasher or other serial killer books, but some. Again I was tempted to go further but held back. I wanted to leave some to the imagination - Sexual Violence – Combining the last two into a single theme. There are some difficult scenes with the killer and his victims. Again, I was tempted to be more explicit but held back. Partly, this was contrived for the further parts of the plot, but also because I didn’t want to write some of the things, or when I did it became too comic book. With the elements covered, there is an overall pitch level as to who the book is for. That covers the style, language, and theme. Do I want 12 year-olds reading it? Probably not, but I read some fairly serious so called adult books as a young teenager. I have tried to understand the Young Adult genre characteristics, and I am struggling. Why is a film or book characterised in this way I struggle to understand much as the argument about nudity in films, (bad leading to age restrictions) compared to nudity in an art gallery (good and culturally uplifting and worthy of a school visit). Hollywood and TV seems to have decided that bad language and violence is fine but nudity and sex is not. Calling someone a M\*\*\*\*\* F\*\*\*\*\* is fine in a 15 film rating, but showing them having sex results in an 18 or USA R rating. When visualising the scenes in my books or writing the conversations am I led by this hypocrisy or should I write what I want. I would love a film deal so should I swear more to try and get one? If I was lucky enough to get one would I argue to keep the sex in and swearing out, what would you do? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Censorship, Writing --- ### [Dystopian Survival – Where Reality Sneaks In](https://phenweb.co.uk/dystopian-survival-where-reality-sneaks-in/) **Published:** July 27, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** First published on The Bookstop – Dystopian Survival – Where Reality Sneaks In I recently completed a new novel, only my second, which has survival after a cataclysm as its theme. I was drawn to write such a novel due to my dissatisfaction which the portrayal of such events, especially in modern film, and literature, where if it’s not zombies it needs to be vampires. I am not criticising the authors of such works or the readers who like the material, I just came away dissatisfied on several levels. Firstly, the cataclysmic event itself, secondly, the progress of the cataclysm, and finally, the survivors actions to survive.The event itself is a matter for science, or fantasy, or ignored in some dystopias. For examples I turn to *Mad Max* (1979) or *Waterworld* (1995), as films, the change is ignored, likewise *The Island* (2005) or even back to *Logan’s Run* (1976).What changed in society or the world to make this happen? This is not explained, or thought through, there is little science in the Science Fiction. In my own book I have tried to explain the virus and also added how it has managed to spread so quickly. Where we have large asteroids *Deep Impact*, (1998) or apocalyptic weather change *The Day After Tomorrow* (2004) or alien invasion, *The Day The Earth Stood Still* (1951 and 2008), I have been left with a feeling the writers and film makers do not go far enough. What happens next? In my own story the selection of the survivors is unknown because there are so few, as the disease I envisage is genetic and viral in nature, and already well underway by the time the Authorities notice. There is no Ark to save humanity, no time to find a cure. I use the AIDS example of long-term research well funded that has not found a cure – yet. Hollywood, and by implication the script writers, or the novels the script writers have based their stories on, tend to simplify the actions of Governments and other authorities when dealing with major incidents or disasters. Governments are not all seeing and pervasive, even in police states. They are all dependent on information fed to them and can only act on what they know and the probabilities of what might happen. They may have political overtones in the policies they pursue, but events overtake them. In my story, the water and sewage issues may seem trivial, and never seem to be mentioned in other books, but the western developed world is used to clean, available hygienic toilets and fresh clean water, when this is not available I do not believe anyone fully grasps the impact. Typhoid in a major western city is a frightening thought. Likewise food distribution is so intricate in a modern society that food shortages would start very quickly. The collapse of the financial system is also skipped over in many dystopian scenarios. Currency is no more than an I Owe You note backed by a government guarantee. We all go to supermarkets to get our food, how would we get food if money is not acceptable. Barter, knowledge, work, sex, what would an individual have to exchange to get food and water.The progress of the epidemic or disease is skipped over in nearly all these events, unless it is the wham bang variety of action, which allows the CGI departments of Hollywood movie studios to show their talents. A notable exception is *Contagion* (2011) which certainly influenced me to research viral disease spread. *The Day After Tomorrow* focuses its human interest on the race to rescue New York survivors. There is a novelisation [The Sixth Winter](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2309291.The_Sixth_Winter "The Sixth Winter by Douglas Orgill"), but written after the event , or its non-fictional start as [The Coming Global Superstorm](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/612153.The_Coming_Global_Superstorm "The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell") (ISBN 0-671-04190-8), what was missing, I felt, was a novel that covered the progress; so I decided to try and write one. For many ideas the people issues become the centre of the plot, but the reactions of all seem to disagree with reality. We only have major disasters to help us understand, as there has not been a cataclysmic event in written history. We have had many major disasters from natural impacts, but not on the scale imagined in these and my book. For the asteroid impacts, even the dinosaurs took millions of years to be wiped out; if that is what started their decline? For human reaction we have events like the holocaust, earthquakes, and tsunamis to guide us. Life goes on, and there were many earthquakes and tidal waves, famines, volcanic eruptions, floods. World wars and global epidemics impact only a few of the world’s population or specific geographic areas. In modern times if it is not reported, it did not happen. Two hundred years ago a viral infection in central Asia or Africa would not have been noticed, and for all we know, could have killed tens of thousands. The human pattern of surviving, despite the grief that is clearly apparent following a major disaster, has always been enabled and helped by other survivors. The bubonic plagues of the middle ages directly impacted the European populations leading to changes in society. In the case of the plague, and in my theory, it is the inability of society to cope that is the story. We are taught to believe that our government, society, community, or church, are blessed with extraordinary capabilities to solve problems. To succeed these organisations depend on the technology and communications of the age. Without our modern encumbrances we would struggle. For an example from my book, Governments communicate their orders via networks of computers and phones. If one breaks they rely on network or telephone technicians to fix the link. What if there are no technicians left? Very quickly we would be back to messenger services that take time, but what about the messengers. Villages protected themselves in plague days by closing gates. If the plague was not in the enclosure when they started then they survived, if not they suffered.More in line with my own plotting are the two BBC *Survivors* stories based on 95% human population disappearing. The second series in two seasons ran 2006 to 2010 was essentially a re-make of the 1975-1977 original. The premise is of massive population loss; my dissatisfaction is that a secret government remains, why they are immune, is never explained.*Jeremiah* a Showtime TV series from 2002 to 2004 focus on survivors that were under the age of puberty. I will not go into the issues of plot that do not stand up, but suffice to comment that 15 years after the cataclysm the new adults seem to have skills they could not have learned before or during the epidemic that kills all the adults, apart from the secret Government adults that is. What I did like is that the survivors wanted to rebuild, which is the main focus of my story. [I Am Legend](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14064.I_Am_Legend "I Am Legend by Richard Matheson"), I like for its scene setting especially the depiction of the decaying cities, in the 2007 film, but why would the hero stay in a deserted city centre, that is not explained, where is his water coming from and his power his sewage disposal, why be in an apartment up flights of stairs, good for defending against zombies but useless and impractical for survival. Of course the zombie plot, creates my dissatisfaction with the 1957 short novel as well as the 2007 film. Survival becomes the main interest for me, how do survivors survive? How do they cope with loneliness and grief? Where do they go to the toilet, do they know how to dig a latrine? How about baking bread, but they would need yeast and flower and power in the form of heat? Where does the grain come from to make the flour? What does wheat look like, and how does it grow? How did the survivors find this out? Hundreds of years ago, the bulk of the human population were farmers or hunter gatherers. How many people in the world now know how to grow wheat? How many know how to catch kill and butcher a chicken or a fish? That’s if they know how to find one and catch one. Fuel may last, but it will become contaminated, and how many people know how to wire up a generator to a house? The numbers who have this knowledge in our current society are very small in percentages, and those that do have this knowledge do not have the ability to survive a genetic virus? For the survivors to survive they need knowledge, if we become totally reliant on the Internet for our manuals and books what happens when the Internet stops. Which book has the necessary information? Many people cannot wire a plug let alone a solar panel or wind turbine. The plague in the middle ages attacked the rich and poor, many of the rich could escape because they could travel, the same was not true of the flu epidemic of 1918/19, which killed more people than the First World War it followed. As a western society we have become ever more interdependent and specialist. If we are manufacturers, we work in large factories where materials arrive and are assembled into other parts. How would the survivors start from scratch after supplies run out? These are the questions I wanted in my story and I wanted to try and answer. The most important element though remains the human story, who would survive mentally, and how would they behave themselves and to each other? We do know from survivors in real life that human beings can do extraordinary things to survive, and immensely stupid things that prevent their survival. Is this Darwinism in action, intelligence, education, or just luck? I cover suicide and the bravery of individuals in my book, when there really is no hope, will many end their lives rather than burden others or suffer a long painful drawn out death. This goes to the heart of the euthanasia debate and the impact of modern medical science, where we can extend life, but cannot necessarily improve the quality of that life. Medication can prevent rapid deaths from disease, and in return the patient suffers an extension of life, but probably in pain and without their former capabilities. If medical treatment were not available, in my scenario, then what would a survivor do? As time goes on the reliability of remaining technology will reduce. An example, car tyres, how long do they last unused on vehicles or even in a storeroom? With no new manufacturing available, how long will any other technologies last? Electronics maybe ten years, engines maybe twenty, the long life examples we have in current society are reliant on modern spare parts or replacements. When there is nothing new in a showroom, or the stuff in the showroom has rotted and decayed, then what? Is survival just about ruthlessness? How do the vestiges of the former society impact on the survivors, morally as well as practically? I have tried not to hide some of the brutal or morally agnostic elements in my fictional account. If surviving men are physically stronger will they exploit their power to the detriment of women? Will women accept subjugation in order to survive including rape and abuse? In my story I twist this, in that there are more women than men surviving; however, that will not stop some men. Society’s morals will be pushed, what was unacceptable, may have to be accepted in order to survive. In the end it is just that, it’s not a treatise on humanity, it’s a fictional story; I hope you enjoy it. [ ***To The Survivors*** ](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/) by **Philip G Henley** is published by Phenweb Publishing and is available on Kindle and Paperback **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** Catastrophe, Coming Global Superstorm, Day After Tomorrow, Day The Earth Stood Still, Dystopia, Hollywood, Island, Mad Max, Science Fiction, Sixth Winter, Survival, To The Survivors --- ### [To The Survivors – The Author’s View](https://phenweb.co.uk/to-the-survivors-the-authors-view/) **Published:** July 27, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** ![Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/kindle-cover-v21-1-188x300.jpg) First Published at [Morphys Book Blog](http://morphybooksblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/guest-post-philip-g-henley/ "Morphys Book Blog") *[To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors")* was published on 13th June on only Kindle for the time being. (Editor: now also available in Paperback and This Author’s View) The story is completely different form my first book, *An Agent’s Demise* a serial killer/spy/thriller based on the events leading up to and after the second Iraq war. As a new writer, I am experimenting with different genres based on my reading habits. In my teens, I was very keen on Science Fiction, reading many different authors Silverberg, Heinlein, Asimov, Niven and Clarke amongst many others. Their works tended to concern space within science fiction. This is what a news diet of the space race does for the imagination, rather than my later preference for a different type of Sci-Fi such as Neal Stephenson’s books *Snow Crash* and *The Diamond Age*. In the 1970’s the BBC, in the UK, broadcast a series called *The Survivors*; I was gripped by it. The programme was remade and broadcast from 2006 to 2010 but this time I was not gripped, just frustrated by the portrayal and the *reality* factor. Both series portrayed life in the UK after a major virus that kills 95% of the population. I have covered my dissatisfaction with this, and other books, films and TV Programmes covering catastrophic events in another blog *[Dystopian Survival – Where Reality Sneaks In](https://phenweb.co.uk/dystopian-survival-where-reality-sneaks-in/ "Dystopian Survival – Where Reality Sneaks In")*. This blog is about *my* book, why I wrote what I did, and how I researched the elements that make up the story. Firstly a disclaimer, as I point out in my disclaimer notice in the book: **‘*I have no personal experience of the end of the world as we know it, but neither do you…*’** Fiction is just that. It is not real, but if, like me, you like doses of reality mixed in them, then this is the type of plot that I have tried to write. The book is split into four parts. The first deals with the virus and the government’s actions, the next three parts deal with the survivors. What do they have to do to survive. It also covers their thoughts on why they survive. One of the issues I attempt to depict, is how the infected react to their impending doom, heroism, fanaticism or stoic acceptance. ## Part One of To The Survivors For the first part, I focused on the medical aspects of genetic viruses, relying on several research papers available for public viewing including reports on Bird Flu, Foot and Mouth Disease, AIDS and HIV research, but also recent Measles outbreaks and the herd immunity ideas. I also had to research population numbers. **SPOILER** – My twist to the other genetic virus stories was the impact on mammals. *My virus* kills them as well, and this also had to be researched in terms of common genes. In other words, my virus *plausible* if highly unlikely. Recently there has been much discussion about the rise of anti-biotic resistant viruses and diseases such as tuberculosis have made a return. This sparked my reason for a cataclysmic story. Much of my writing is sparked by snippets of news not necessarily the headline. For my first book I used the production of the Iraqi dossiers in the USA and UK which convinced many sceptics that war was necessary against Iraq. Then, when no weapons of mass destruction were found this embarrassing misleading of politicians, media and the public was covered up. For *[To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors")* I was intrigued by the spread of measles in Wales during a recent outbreak and the seeming inability of the Authorities to cope. I just went a lot further. ## Part Two For the second part, my focus was on sustainable power and water, mainly solar, along with the basics of survival. I also introduced the key characters for the rest of the book. Several ideas for the house that plays a large part in the story came during the installation and setting up of my own solar power system; although it is nowhere near as extensive as the one described in the book. The viewpoint in this stage switched from the government’s macro view to a survivor’s micro view but covering a similar time period. The house construction had intrigued me since I saw a documentary on the building of a Huf House several years ago. The hardest element wasn’t the house it was deciding where in the UK to locate the scenes. Research using Google maps can only go so far, poetic license has had to be applied to find the right geography, although many locations are accurately described. ## Parts Three and Four The later section of Part Two, and Parts Three and Four are the story from a survivor’s perspective. The Sci-Fi reduces as it turns to more human interaction elements. This takes the timeline into the future and the different challenges that evolve. This is more fiction, than science. The Sci-Fi element remains in the settings, but there is no *new* technology, super power abilities, or other elements typical of this genre. New technology is ruled out due to the collapse of civilisation. No one has super power abilities, unless surviving the virus is considered to be an evolutionary step by human kind. ## Civilisation In the book, are several quotes on the fall of civilisation. I found these or had read them previously. I am interested in post-Roman Britain as an example of the fall of civilisation. How did so much technology and capability disappear? Roman houses had central heating, but nearly two thousand years later many houses in the UK still do not, or were built without it. In all the sections, I wanted to cover the realities of living in this *new* world. That has meant talking about sewage and latrines. I am not *that* interested in toilets, but it’s something that I felt was missing from virtually every other book and film in the genre. My previous experience in the military helped here, not with the descriptions but the reality of survival. I found on deployments that living without a modern toilet or shower is not fun. Yes, camping for a few days with a chemical toilet might be an adventure but we all feel relieved when we return home to hot running water and flushing loos. Modern humanity creates massive amounts of waste for disposal from food packaging to empty bottles. Even a scavenging society has to dispose of its waste. The sewers and drains no longer work so how do people cope? This element seems to be conveniently overlooked in nearly every film, TV, or book portrayal. The blockbuster movies love using CGI to destroy a city, when creeping grass over a road is more realistic and will eventually prevent road travel. ## The Survivors’ Characteristics Character development is always tricky, I prefer not to give too vivid physical descriptions of people, not because I am not picturing them in my mind, but I want the reader to paint their own picture. Where it is relevant I have described race and age, along with the gender, but I deliberately kept this minimal. I have also tried to write only from what the chief protagonist knows, might know, or has been told by another character. Consequently, he does not know everything or why certain things in the plot have happened. I have given him some character traits, which go some way to providing an insight to his actions, but again I leave some of this open to interpretation. Mostly, I wanted to write about what people did, more than why other than the overreaching *to survive.* Many friends and family have asked if I have used them as the basis for my characters. This has a yes, and no answer. In that some elements are bound to filter through, but it is more likely to be a snippet rather than an entire character. When I picture a character in my mind, I may base this on someone I have met, but it is unlikely to be a friend or family member because that will condition my thoughts rather too much. ## Survivor’s Actions Some survivors are more ruthless than others, which lead to other concerns about censorship and how far descriptions go. I have blogged on this dilemma for an author before in *[How Far Should I Go](https://phenweb.co.uk/how-far-should-i-go/ "How Far Should I Go?")*. It remains a cause of concern and the more extreme I am, the less audience I might have in for example Young Adult readers. My books are not for children, but I read so called adult literature as a teenager, so the YA market is confusing for me anyway. Would I want my children to read what I have written? They are both adults, so it does not apply now; in fact most of the moral comments have come from friends who seem surprised that I can write about sex and violence. Morality, in my view, is easy when you are living in semi-luxury, with a full belly and enough water to drink. History teaches us that rape and other violence is common in stressful situations from war to famine. Disaster survivors, whether genocide or natural calamities, report different experiences, from Death Camp guards, to Schindler’s List, and onwards to cannibalism in the case of the Andes air crash survivors. If personal behaviour is based on background and culture, what happens when that envelope disappears? I am not a woman, but if I were, would I *sell* my body for food, shelter, or water? As a man would I take advantage of such a woman and is that rape? In our comfortable homes we all like to think we would behave with decency and morality, but would we? Society no longer exists so its morals, may not survive either. In my story, new moralities and behaviours takeover especially in the relationships between the survivors and the need to procreate. In the end, I have written a fictional story. I hope *thousands* read it and enjoy it, but some will not, some will loathe it, some will criticise it, some will complain that it would have worked better with aliens, or zombies, or a nuclear war. If it makes a reader turn into a writer because of their dissatisfaction with my efforts then all the better. I am happy to move on to my next book and story, another change of genre, but that is for another day. **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** An Agent's Demise, Arts, Catastrophe, Diamond Age, Dystopian, Neal Stephenson, Online Writing, Science Fiction, Snow Crash, Survival, Survivors, Television program, To The Survivors, Writing --- ### [What The Hell Is YA?](https://phenweb.co.uk/what-the-hell-is-ya/) **Published:** August 1, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** What the hell is YA as Wikipedia ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young-adult\_fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young-adult_fiction)) defines YA as the following: ***“Young-adult fiction*** *or **young adult literature** (often abbreviated as **YA**),[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young-adult_fiction#cite_note-eweekly-1) also **juvenile fiction**, is [fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiction "Fiction") written, published, or marketed to [adolescents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolescence "Adolescence") and [young adults](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_adult_%28psychology%29 "Young adult (psychology)"), although recent studies show that 55% of young-adult fiction is purchased by readers over 18 years of age.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young-adult_fiction#cite_note-2) The Young Adult Library Services Association ([YALSA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YALSA "YALSA")) of the [American Library Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Library_Association "American Library Association") (ALA) defines a young adult as someone between the ages of twelve and eighteen. Authors and readers of young adult (YA) novels often define the genre as literature as traditionally written for ages ranging from twelve years up to the age of eighteen, while some publishers may market young adult literature to as low as age ten or as high as age twenty-five.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young-adult_fiction#cite_note-3) The terms **young-adult novel**, **juvenile novel**, **young-adult book**, etc. refer to the works in the YA category”* So what exactly is YA? Should I be writing for this market, which seems to dominate many categories or other genres or is this just a marketing gimmick? What distinguishes this genre from other categories? When I was in this age category I read grown up fiction to *prove* I was an adult. Children’s books consisted of Enid Blyton and the classics of *Robinson Crusoe*, *Treasure Island* and *Kidnapped*. I also read *The Hobbit*. I have of course read as an adult the Harry Potter series with my own children but also for myself. Being from the Neolithic age pre-Internet, I regard all these stories as children’s books. Classic books were what we studied at school in English classes, I love Shakespeare, I have read Jane Austin, some Dickens, are these YA? Do I have to reclassify Romeo and Juliet as a YA targeted story? So maybe it’s my upbringing and age that causes my confusion and I am back to what exactly is this genre. I browsed the list of books on Goodreads: and I am none the wiser. There were 549 group discussions tagged as YA on Goodreads, but the definition still escapes me. I certainly do not wish to offend any of the clearly millions of YA readers or the thousands of YA Authors. So what is it that distinguishes this category? Adult themes appear such as abuse, despair, and the struggles of modern or historical life. There are fantasy and Sci Fi stories, YA Romance, thrillers, short and long books. So is it the content I should look at or the language used. There may be non-explicit sex and violence, but many traditional genre books hold back from one or more of these. Relationships may not be consummated in YA, but Romance genre has lots of looking and gazing and very little actual sex. Is it the literary complexity of the language that dictates a YA novel or just the absence of swearing? One forum discussed the use of YA lead characters in the story as a guide, but that doesn’t seem to hold true for all the stories. If I read a Sci Fi novel about teenagers fighting off werewolves is it YA, Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, or a romance because one character dreams of kissing another? My books tend to have fairly robust, some would say explicit, sex and violence and some swearing, does that mean they cannot be considered as YA? My second book *To The Survivors* has several YA age group characters. Is *Lord of the Flies* a YA novel? Who decided that this category even exists? I turn to the marketing industry for guidance, and I am even more lost by tweens, teens, YA. They separate the three as individual target audiences. As adulthood is a cultural and legal definition, is a sixteen year old, a YA, a teenager, or a child? As a sixteen year old I positively avoided reading anything labelled as for a teenager, or a child. I wanted to be treated and saw myself as an adult, I read newspapers and *adult* fiction. I read Heinlein, Asimov, Silverberg and Clarke in Sci Fi. I read Heller and Updike, but added Le Carre and Deighton, whilst at school we had more Shakespeare to name just a few. I also read *Lady Chatterley’s Lover* and other D H Lawrence books and I sneaked in to watch the 18 rated films until they came on TV. I craved adult content that dealt with sex and violence not some pastiche of a 1950’s Hollywood movie where Rock Hudson and Doris Day are married but sleep in separate beds wearing more clothes than the did in the day time for fear of falling foul of the censors. So is YA another form of censorship? The US TV market (excluding cable), gives us a guide, no sex, no swearing but endless violence is fine. *Twilight* the books and movies have chaste kisses and dreamy looks whilst violence and death surround the protagonists. Is this YA? If it is, then no thanks. If I ever write a children’s story it will not have sex, violence or swearing. My other fiction will be written for…. Well I suppose I am writing for me. I have blogged previously on this subject so I’ll try not to repeat myself. For the YA market, I think if you are a YA then you will like my books because they feature adult themes, but they are not in YA. I’m not in YA, I don’t understand the category maybe someone else can explain the definition of this alleged genre to me. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** adulthood, American Library Association, Censorship, Dickens, Doris Day, Enid Blyton, Genres, Goodreads, Harry Potter, Neolithic, Romance, Sci Fi, Twilight, Young Adult Library Services Association, Young-adult fiction --- ### [Controversy for Controversy's Sake](https://phenweb.co.uk/controversy-for-controversys-sake/) **Published:** August 31, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** I recently commented on the GoodReads forum discussing the subject “*Would You Write About Controversy*” or controversy for controversy’s sake I said I might blog so here it is starting with my own comment, I haven’t reproduced others’ comments as I haven’t asked the writer’s permission. “*One of my favourite discussion subjects along with censorship. Freedom of speech in the UK is not as formally protected as it is in the USA, but it is protected. There are always controversial subjects although the USA arguments of religion and politics are not as ribald, neither is abortion.* *One of the most interesting controversies, over the years, has been Salman Rushdie’s [The Satanic Verses](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12781.The_Satanic_Verses "The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie"). Irrespective of political viewpoint it is a work of fiction, but look what it led to and that was mostly in a pre-Internet Social Media age. Did this book sell more copies because its opponents were so vociferous in denouncing it and the author? Has Salmon Rushdie sold more of his other books as a result or has he changed writing subjects to avoid further death threats?* *In my own work, controversial decisions and some politics are backdrops to my stories. In my first attempt, it was the creation of the dossiers to support the war in Iraq. With Syria going on, the recent UK decision to not support military action can be traced to the Iraq dossier debacle. In my second, I deal with several controversial subjects like rape and summary execution, hidden in a story about survivors. My third has insider trading to generate huge wealth and the misbehaviour of big business. Who knows what I might write next as news stories often provide a creative spark.* *At the front of all of my books is a disclaimer. This is a work of Fiction, in other words I made it up, it’s just a story, I don’t necessarily share my characters opinions, although I like to have a basis of fact behind all my stories.”* That said, is controversy useful? In an age of trolls, flame wars, email barrages, and 24/7 media sound and video bites, should a writer of a blog, article or book deliberately try to be controversial. Another quote attributed to Brendan Behan “*There is no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary*.” In the UK we have had threats of rape caused by promotion of the image on a bank note followed by more threats to female writers and journalists who had the temerity to comment on the threats. Opinion piece writers in newspapers and other media are supposed to be controversial, that’s why they are employed. A newspaper editorial and front page headline are designed to support the political leanings of the newspaper and act as an advertisement for sales. Let’s be controversial then – Martin Luther King, Jr said “*The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy*.” A nice *uncontroversial* quote, so lets dissect it. *The ultimate* – really this is the ultimate meaning the peak, the top? Are we sure it’s really the *ultimate.* Measure – by what metric is this a measurement and to what standard and against what comparator? *Of a Man* – Many commentators would regard this as sexist, but of course at the time of the quote man in this sense meant humankind or to use the terminology mankind still shouldn’t the same measure be used for women? I’ll stop there I have no wish to denigrate Mr King who was a fantastic orator on the speeches I have seen, I don’t know if he was a good man or not I didn’t know him personally or professionally. So, if I write about abortion in a novel, will I face controversy and criticism regardless of the viewpoint the character, or characters, propose. Under-age sex or any sex often causes controversy. I’m not sure why, it has always happened and despite sex education, moralistic pronouncements, campaigns and so on it always will. Should I avoid that subject to avoid controversy? Because a character has *under-age* (a subjective legalistic viewpoint with different morals, laws and conventions around the world) sex in a story should that automatically rate a book as adult only content? If I write about it does that make me a paedophile (another nice controversy there)? If I look at a naked woman in a Rueben’s picture in an art gallery that is cultural, if I look at a naked woman on a porn site it’s bad or degenerates women. For women, is a Michael Angelo sculpture porn? It’s a naked man! *My word* we cannot show that on prime time TV and if the man had an erection it would be porn and not suitable for any regular TV viewers. In case nobody noticed the human race has survived and expanded thanks to sex including erect penises. If you don’t want them described in a book or film don’t read or watch, but why would you avoid human nature. I don’t particularly like watching people chew gum, maybe we could censor that, but of course I might just be trying to be controversial so you will read my blog, if I tag it correctly for Internet searches. If I argue for against creationism, Islam, Christianity, Scientology, Buddhism, etc., etc., will I attract more interest, more blog followers, more complaints? Will that sell more of my books? Who knows? There are millions of blogs, tweets, and emails. Thousands of newspaper articles around the world and nearly seven billion people on the planet each with their own opinions and beliefs. Just because a politician, media outlet, or journalist says something in Iran, the UK or the USA does not make it so or true. In general I think there is too much opinion dressed up as facts. If you hear the words *common sense*, *the people believe*, *it is God’s wish*, step back, ask if that is really true is it a fact or an opinion? If you don’t discuss controversial subjects then you are simply avoiding facts which is often the *advice* given for polite conversation – no religion, sex, or politics. Whichever side of an opinion you may take, remember it’s an opinion not a fact. I like to argue, I like controversy, I think I’m right and so do you. Now back to writing my next story about a homosexual atheist who rapes a disabled veteran on his nation’s flag whilst looking at kiddie porn having forced his 14 year old sister to have an abortion only because the father was a black Islamic preacher– or maybe not. Still it’s an idea… now for the tags, light blue touch paper stand back and…. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** blog, books, Brendan Behan, Censorship, controversy, creationist, erection, Goodreads, Iran, Iraq, Islam, Martin Luther King, nude, nudity, opinion, paedophile, penis, Philip G Henley, Porn, rape, Salman Rushdie, Satanic Verses, scientology, sex, tweet, UK, United States, USA, Writing --- ### [What Is Persuasion? The Persuasive Man](https://phenweb.co.uk/what-is-persuasion/) **Published:** September 10, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** What is Persuasion from 2013 Since I launched my third book [The Persuasive Man](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/the-persuasive-man/ "The Persuasive Man"), I have been contemplating the reality of persuasion rather than my fictional account. This is also prompted by my experiences so far of marketing the book. Quoted in my book are the three types of Persuasion **Ethos**: The credibility of the speaker or author, their authority, reliability, integrity. It makes the reader or listener believe what is said or written. **Logos**: The logic that is used to support a claim by induction and deduction or the facts and statistics used to help support the argument. **Pathos**: An emotional or motivational appeal by the use of vivid language, emotional language, and sensory details. We all use all of these things to get our own way, whether it’s a teacher trying to persuade a class to be quiet or, in this modern age, advertisers and marketeers persuading us to buy their products or subscribe to their viewpoint. Now as a new independent author I have to persuade as well. I want you the reader to read my book, to do that I need to get the book in front of you and preferably have you pay for the experience so that I receive a reward for my efforts. Of course my reward can also come in the form of a nice review (or not), a following on this blog, a comment from a friend or a relative but it all starts with persuading you dear reader to pick up/download my latest missive. So lets look at each of the three types of persuasion. ## Ethos My credibility as a writer needs to be clear, this is fine when dealing with something that I have direct experience of, an auto-biography literally comes form the horses mouth, but if I write fiction it is by its very nature not true. Of course I can ground my story in facts, places, technology, and so on. I can use my experience of ife and perhaps direct professional experience. An ex-policeman may have the technical background to write a police procedural, but doe an ex traffic cop know how a murder investigation operates, maybe, but would the ex-traffic cop knowledge devalue the writer’s ability to persuade you. What if the Police Procedural is written by a former refuse collector. Credibility down – maybe. As a voice in the persuasion stakes I have to convince the reader that my story is worth their time. For an example of how not to do it try any Political Party Broadcast in fact many advertisements work purely by brain washing repetition, not by convincing people of the value of the product. ## Logos Lets get to the facts, the Number One Best Seller moniker is shown on brand new, newly launched books all the time. A best seller where? I have the *Number One Best Selling Book* in the Henley household, can I legitimately claim that in my marketing and accidentally neglect to mention “in the Henley household.” I was Number One on Amazon’s list for my first book for a couple of days as I persuaded, by financial inducement, thousands to download my free book. I could claim that my books provide unrivalled story telling but I doubt you would be convinced. I have plenty of rivals, 9,000 new books per month apparently. So for my first book [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/ "An Agent’s Demise"), I can claim that there are real facts mixed into the fictional story, although one of my reviewers thought it was far fetched. I did say it was fiction. My facts for my second book, [To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors"), were in the research into viruses and several other bits that I used to make the story of surviving a catastrophe more realistic. Judging by it’s sales I was persuasive, or I just wrote a better story. ## Pathos Finally we get to the heart of the matter an emotional plea, **PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE** buy my books. Did that work? If you buy my book, world peace will break out, all starving children will be fed and a cure for cancer will be discovered – working yet. It will change your life or just like TV adverts get you that incredibly non-airbrushed attractive partner, fast car, holiday, jewellery or just a nice meal. Of course I could quietly mention that you might just *enjoy* my spy thriller, dystopian catastrophe or fictional memoir, but would that persuade you because after all… ##### “No one can withstand the charm of such a mystery.” [Jane Austen](https://www.janeausten.org/), “Persuasion” **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Advertising, Argument, book, E-book, ethos, Fiction, Jane Austen, logos, marketing, pathos, Persuasion, publicity, Shopping, Storytelling --- ### [The Interplanetary Geographic Service](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-interplanetary-geographic-service/) **Published:** September 12, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** A new blog has been created for [The Interplanetary Geographic Service](http://intergeoserv.wordpress.com/ "IntergeoServ") **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** blog, Books Story, geographic service, Planets, Sci Fi, Technology, Writing --- ### [Are All Politicians and Commentators Nuts?](https://phenweb.co.uk/are-all-politicians-and-commentators-nuts/) **Published:** September 30, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** You would think that given their actions the question ‘Are All Politicians and Commentators Nuts’?’ Is self answering. Today in the UK there is brewing one of those made up press rows about which the general population stares in disbelief and has to check it’s hearing. This *row* concerns the use of the word *nuts*. On BBC TV’s Andrew Marr Show The Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, was interviewed and asked about the proposed policy of the Opposition’s Labour Party and it’s leader Ed Milliband to increase Corporation Tax for businesses. The Prime Minister called the policy ‘*nuts’* the interviewer tried to turn this into David Cameron calling Ed Milliband *nuts* but Mr Cameron managed to avoid that potential trap, however, the row is not about the respective merits of the policy which on [BBC’s Radio 4 Today](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qj9z) programme was not discussed. Instead it was about the use of the term *nuts* and linked to a story last week about Asda, a supermarket chain in the UK, withdrawing from sale Halloween costumes described as *Mental Patients* because they were potentially offensive to Mental Health Patients or sufferers. This could have led to a more interesting discussion about the continued Americanisation of events like Halloween and the importing of those traditions into the UK instead it was only about whether the mental health lobby was offended. They better not watch One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest or The Shining then, or read/watch any other horror, thriller, crime, story that feature potentially psychotic behaviour. Let alone Basil Fawlty hitting his car with a branch because it has broken down, or should we just call him nuts, sorry I’m not supposed to use that word it might offend other car hitters suffering from a mental aberration. What has this to do with writing you might ask? Censorship, is my answer and in particular self-censorship. Something that public pressure in the form of media frenzy seems determined to inflict on all of us that write. Now irrespective of the benefits or otherwise of the political policy why shouldn’t Cameron be allowed to call the policy *nuts* if that is what he thinks it is. I’m sure Mr Miliband thinks several of Mr Cameron’s policies are nuts as well and if he does why should he not use that term which is defined in this context in many thesaureses as **Nuts – adjective**(slang)= insane, mad, crazy (informal), bananas (slang), barking (slang), eccentric, batty (slang), psycho (slang), irrational, loony (slang), demented, nutty (slang), deranged, loopy (informal), out to lunch (informal), out there (slang), barking mad (slang), gonzo (slang), doolally (slang), off your trolley (slang), up the pole (informal), as daft as a brush (informal, mainly, British), not the full shilling (informal), wacko *or* whacko (informal), a sausage short of a fry-up (slang), psychopathic, off the air (Australian, slang) • Either he’s joking or else he’s nuts. • A number of the players went nuts, completely out of control.Now some of these uses do imply behaviour that is abnormal and have been linked with slang terms to describe mental illness, but should that stop us using a perfectly good description for a policy – I don’t think so. There is a worrying habit where perfectly good terms are no longer used by writers and commentators because of fear of offending someone. Language changes – just look at the term gay for an example, I know what it used to mean, happy, joyful, now it can’t be used in any other context apart from to describe homosexual behaviour. Will I soon have to stop using *nuts* to describe some of my favourite food for fear of alienating the mental health lobby that really will be *nuts*. Meanwhile I continue to know very little about why Mr Cameron thinks Mr Milliband’s policy is *nuts* nor do I know what the policy link in the USA is between the latest budget crisis and the existing Health Care policy. Again the story there was described as a row against President Obama and the Republican Party with neither policy being debated just personal invective fired in all directions. Whatever happened to reasoned debate. Again on Radio 4 this was linked to a Republican Congressman reading extracts from a Dr Zeuss book, why was not clear and what that had to do with budget debate was not clear. This was linked to a doorstop canvasser in Virginia knocking on someone’s door. Meanwhile the fact that Asian stock markets were down several percent because of the impending budget issue wasn’t mentioned. Now in a debate on Education or literacy, reading Dr Zeuss may be relevant but the whole article struck me as being *nuts* and if that offends some mental health experts so be it. Also *nuts* was the fact that the BBC like many media outlets instead of calling it that actually gave more air time to that Congressman reading extract from a Children’s book. As to the actual policies being proposed by Democrats and Republicans we heard nothing. The story was then linked to the next Presidential Election not even a year since the last one – please! Are you all nuts? I’ve used the BBC’s reporting twice here simply because I was listening as I often do to BBC’s Radio Four Today programme. I used to think the programme provided a cultured insight into the day’s headlines but now seems to be little more than thirty second sound bites interrupted by the presenters trying to get their take on the story. Of course the politicians don’t answer questions, except Mr Cameron did bluntly, albeit on a TV interview, then tried not to because he was scared of the language he used. Now that was ***nuts***. The fact that he may have joked about the Mental Health *lobby* was also discussed. Is it just possible that we could have a debate about the tax policy of the parties rather than a debate about the language used to describe the policy. How about some facts or am I being nuts? So what as a would be writer should I do? Should I add to my earlier rants about [controversial subjects](http://phenweb.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/controversy-for-controversys-sake/ "Controversy for Controversy’s Sake") by using as many examples of allegedly controversial words as possible? I’ll self censor here, I don’t want to offend anyone in a blog so no N, (black) C (female sexual organ), used but I have mentioned them, should I not. If I was writing 1950’s dialogue in the American South shouldn’t the N word be used. If I quoted D H Lawrence should I use the C word? I’m feeling happy should I call myself *gay* or avoid the words as toxic, use euphemisms in order not to upset people. Do I have to add loony, nuts, mad and countless others to my proscribed list for fear of upsetting someone. That would be nuts. Apparently there are over 1 million different words in the English language with many having multiple meanings depending on context although the *Oxford English Dictionary* “*contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as sub-entries”* Does this rising tide of words we should not *use,* mean that the number of words will reduce, do we as a population not just writers want our vocabulary reduced? Now that really would be *nuts*! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Andrew Marr, Basil Fawlty, BBC, Cameron, Congress, Congressman, Conservative, D H Lawrence, David Cameron, Democrats, Ed Miliband, Gay, Mental health, Nuts, OED, President, Republicans, The C Word, The N Word --- ### [Spying and Oversight](https://phenweb.co.uk/spying-and-oversight/) **Published:** November 9, 2013 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Spying and oversight from November 2013 As a relatively new author, I watched with interest the appearance of the UK’s Spy Chiefs in front of the Parliamentary Committee that is established to hold them to account. My first book published – [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/the-demise-trilogy/) – had as a backdrop how the Iraqi Dossier might have been manipulated to lead the politicians to decide to go to war. I have started a sequel – An Agent’s Rise and I have another story underway another thriller about revolution. These tales are all triggered by a keen interest in what the spies might get up to, but just as importantly what the politicians and the spy’s bosses know. Plausible deniability is often used to cover tracks both by spies, their managers and the politicians. The revelations from Edward Snowden a former American computer specialist who apparently worked as a CIA employee and NSA contractor, provided information to the press, some of which has been published, about classified operations by the USA, Israel, and the [UK security services](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_security_services "UK security services"). From what little we know these mass surveillance operations have added to some of our knowledge as to what happens, but has concentrated on the technicalities of the programmes rather than what is done with the information. The appearance of the UK’s spy chiefs in front of the Committee is a regular occurrence but this was the first with all three chiefs (Security Service, Secret Intelligence Service and GCHQ) in public. You can watch the proceedings from the BBC [here](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24847399). Not mentioned but notable by his absence was the Chief of Defence Intelligence (DI) who’s task is to act as “the main provider of strategic defence intelligence to the department (Ministry of Defence) and the Armed Forces.” Apparently the actual strategic defence of the UK is not as important so his attendance at the committee was not called for. Fighting the terrorist war on the ground in Afghanistan is a military operation which GCHQ supports, when their resources are not diverted by the NSA to help monitor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone in the interests of commercial advantage National Security. So what did we learn from the evidence? Very little; the media made a big deal of the admission by the head of GCHQ that monitored terrorist groups had been observed/heard/monitored discussing how to change their methods of communication in the light of Snowden’s published revelations. If GCHQ bothered to notice the discussion about Internet security has been a constant trend on technical forums for at least 15 years, where methods of encryption, monitoring, obfuscation and a whole host of techniques have been freely discussed. If the UK’s enemies (terrorist or other) were not aware of the techniques then they are either more stupid than we think or perhaps it was a good line to feed the media. Admitting that we have overheard such a discussion is also telling them exactly what Snowden told them, so Sir Iain Lobban (Head of GCHQ) haven’t you just given away that little secret, perhaps your passport should be removed. There have been some very clever uses of words in the USA and UK to describe the activities like PRSIM and why they are considered legal, under political scrutiny. Effectively the NSA can trawl the data on UK citizens given to it by GCHQ without a warrant and GCHQ can trawl the USA data given to it by NSA without a warrant. Both agencies may legally spy on foreigners without warrants. There is not a handover of a database. It’s the same systems in use just different access permissions. Both agencies can then report to their oversight representatives that they are operating within the law. Then we have the testimony, not under oath by the way, that multiple terrorist operations have been prevented in the last few years. In Parliament the Head of the Secret Service said 34 operations had been disrupted but provided no evidence for this statement. In the USA General Alexander, head of the NSA, accompanied by the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, stated in testimony to Congress that 54 operations had been prevented since 9th September 2011, again no details provided. He did admit that the use of the surveillance systems had not necessarily contributed to any of these operations. So what do we know, in the UK there were the attacks of 7th July 2005. Several of the suicide bombers and their wider circle were known to the authorities – result 52 dead over 700 injured. That was four years after 9/11 and that attack was after Embassy bombings and attacks around the globe. This was followed by failed attacks two weeks later when the security authorities managed to kill an innocent Brazilian on a tube train after he had got on that tube train. I won’t list all the attacks Wikipedia has a comprehensive [list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in_Great_Britain), but please note the IRA ones over 30 years and yet Al-Qa’eda are considered a bigger threat? The former head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, stated in December 2006 that “*[Al-Qa’eda](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda "Al-Qaeda") poses a greater threat to civilian life than the Nazis did during the Second World War.*” Sir Ian had clearly never researched The Blitz, which killed over 40,000 civilians in one 57-day period from September 1940. He may have been exaggerating a little but is this the mind set, or just a bad history education? So returning to Parliament and the *serious damage* that Snowden is alleged to have done. It has been quoted that Snowden’s leaks are the greatest threat to UK Intelligence operations. Like Sir Ian Blair methinks they doth protest too much. They clearly have forgotten or would like us to forget about Blunt, Philby, McClean, Burgess, possibly Cairncross, often reffered to as The Cambridge Four/Five or how about the Profumo scandal when the then Minister of State for War (now the MoD) John Profumo shared a mistress with the Soviet Naval Attaché. Before our American friends get all clever about the British problem what about the Rosenburgs or John Walker. According to reports Snowden shared access to the information he attained with nearly 1 million others, clearly this secret is not quite as secret as some might think. The fact he could leave the high security office with all this data is the security scandal and out security chiefs on both sides of the Atlantic seem hell bent on avoiding how Snowden got the information instead concentrating, as ever, on the messenger. Snowden did not hand the information to Al-Qa’eda, he may have been in China and now Russia but the security services have failed to demonstrate that the information is in the hands of the Russian or Chinese intelligence services. Stopping the partner of the journalist who was allegedly carrying a written down password to a USB stick does not mean that the stick has been accessed; in fact we are then told that the security services were unable to access the data or were they? So why mention the password at all, maybe it was his bank PIN? Maybe the current court case investigating his detention at Heathrow airport on suspicion of terrorism might shed some light? As a would be author I have so many possible plot lines for a fictional story left by this mess I don’t know where to start. How much of the story and information that is in the public eye is disinformation or real, is impossible to guess. From what I have seen of our democratic institutions their lack of oversight, technological knowledge, and willingness to believe what the spy chiefs tell them, is not encouraging. After all [Sir Malcolm Rifkind](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Rifkind "Malcolm Rifkind") the head of the Parliamentary Committee former Foreign Secretary (responsible for the Secret Intelligence Service) has never explained why he claimed expenses for constituency flights to Scotland when his constituency is in London, all within the rules, all submitted with proper Government *oversight*. He was by no means the worst of the [MP expenses scandal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_parliamentary_expenses_scandal "United Kingdom parliamentary expenses scandal") but… I haven’t commented on the lack of questions about torture, extraordinary rendition, or any of the other things that maybe we should know about being done in our name, after all the hounding of one, perhaps misguided, whistle-blower is so much better TV than asking a proper question or getting a proper answer. ###### Related articles - UK spy chiefs emerge from shadows to blast Edward Snowden – Reuters (reuters.com) - NSA leaks: UK’s enemies are ‘rubbing their hands with glee’, says MI6 chief (theguardian.com) - [UK spy chiefs hit out at Snowden](http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=922566) (skynews.com.au) - Questioning of spy agency chiefs ‘wouldn’t have scared a puppy’ (theguardian.com) **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** An Agent's Demise, Cambridge Five, CIA, Edward Snowden, GCHQ, Government Communications Headquarters, Iain Lobban, IRA, Malcolm Rifkind, MI5, MI6, National Security Agency, NSA, Oversight, Parliament, Secret Initelligence Service, Snowden, Spying --- ### [Brooks et al Trial Coverage](https://phenweb.co.uk/brooks-et-al-trial-coverage/) **Published:** March 11, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** [Rebekah Brooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Brooks)‘ et al trial coverage in 2014 later blogged [here](https://phenweb.co.uk/freedom-not-for-coulson/) ![Brooks Coulson](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/64460053_brooks_coulson640-300x169.jpg) I’ve been following the Hacking phone trial with considerable interest. It would not be prudent to comment on testimony or my opinion on the evidence submitted so far. After all I may have undue influence on a juror. I don’t but for the avoidance of doubt I have no direct connection with any participant. For any direct comment I strongly recommend the coverage provided by The Drum, which has excellent and thorough trial coverage. Where though is the coverage in more mainstream media. The trial which produces revelations almost daily has rare coverage on the BBC, ITV or C4. Sky I would expect to be circumspect given the Murdoch connection but they are supposed to cover news and given the 24hr nature of BBC News 24 and Sky News surely they could provide some analysis and reporting rather than another fifteen reporters in Sevastopol plus the John Simpson and Panorama crews, all repeating the same thing. Anyway back to Hacking. The trial has raised some serious issues (as did The Leveson Inquiry) regarding freedom of speech and the conflict in my own head between the type of coverage required to uncover corruption in public officials (Expenses scandal etc.) and the right to a private life. Why does anyone care who Hugh Grant has sex with or whether he was paying for it. As only Rebekah Brooks of the defendants has appeared on the witness stand it is of course to early to judge any evidence, but what has become clear at Leveson and this trial is the culture, attitude and approach of a national newspaper and its reporters. The absence or non-enforcement of management controls has also been highlighted. None of the defendants are on trial for being bad managers, but the lack of financial controls at the papers should send most Financial Directors spinning to an early grave. What the jury believes is of course a matter for them and the evidence presented to them. Which stories are and are not printed in newspapers broadcast or otherwise reported is a matter for all of us. Outside of true police states, what we see and hear is decided by a small elite deciding what stories get column inches or broadcast time. The Internet has multiplied the availability and direct access of reporting to unbelievable levels yet so much remains drivel. So much is repetitive and shows no insight. With all the news in the world why is 24hr TV on an almost totally hour by hour repeat. You can click on Sky News anytime of day and see the same clips repeated over and over again regardless of what else has happened. With the advert repeats it is a continuous dose of Deja Vu and none of it is about the Hacking Trial and the behaviour of one or more News International Executives. Of course I am unusual in that I am concerned about freedom of speech whether it is censorship, snooping, police misbehaviour or the actions of newspaper reporters. What do all these stories have in common? They all reflect the closeness of a political and media elite all feeding like cannibalistic vampires off of each others actions, whilst trampling over the rights, opinions and feelings of their victims, Whether it is the family of [Milly Dowler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Milly_Dowler), [Stephen Lawrence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Stephen_Lawrence) or one of the victims of misreporting, misbehaviour or misdeeds. Our press and mainstream media, failed to report accurately, failed to check their facts and allowed statements by police and others to be misused or believed regardless of the evidence. The press paid for many of these stories bribing public officials in the process. A picture of a royal at a party more important than the corruption that paying for the story exposed. The same press baying for MP’s blood over expenses whilst casually shipping thousands to their contacts for a snippet of gossip or paying a self confessed phone hacker thousands to keep quiet or a publicist to settle out of court. Now some of these executives are dependent on the very legal system they have done so much to undermine and ignore. I wonder who the jury will believe. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** BBC, Brooks, C4, freedom of speech, Hacking, Hugh Grant, ITV, Jury, Leveson, mainstream media, Milly Dowler, News International, News of The World, public officials, Rebekah Brooks, Sky News, Stephen Lawrence, The Drum, Trial --- ### [The Editing Experience and An Apology](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-editing-experience-and-an-apology/) **Published:** March 30, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** So my first excursion into the world of professional editing is complete. Charlie Bray at The IndieTribe has completed re-edits of my first two books [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/ "An Agent’s Demise") and [To The Survivors](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/to-the-survivors/ "To The Survivors"). Now they are both updated on Kindle, Smashwords and on Lulu for the hard copies. Firstly an apology: ## Sorry fellow authors and Readers. I wish I could have afforded to do the edits before I launched the books to avoid the review criticism. How many sales lost? Then, there is my criticism adding to the overall criticism of self pub books. I cannot reverse the past, just fix the future. ## What have I learned from the experience? Lots of things: 1. Fresh eyes spot all sorts of issues that readers and I had not seen. Luckily, not plot inconsistencies although I had one character re-appearing when a sentence before they had left the scene. I had not noticed and I hope no readers had. Now fixed. 2. It is so easy to get caught up in the story and miss the odd tense issue 3. My biggest problem though was punctuation in my grammar. Run on sentences, no commas. Some is clearly style and how I was listening to the words in my head, but now redone; hopefully to the satisfaction of my future readers. 4. There is still a lot of conflicting advice especially on dialogue style and contradictions with old advice and education I received. 5. Also I still have a frustration with using conjunctions to start sentences especially *and* and *but.* Less of an issue with some but I know it may be technically correct I just think it looks wrong. 6. The software (Scrivener and Word in my case) is just not accurate enough and almost entirely useless in dialogue. This is where punctuation has to be used to cause pauses and hesitations for how the character is speaking regardless of correct grammar rules. People do not speak in correct grammar. Making written speech comply just looks clunky. Few people converse in a grammatically correct manner. 7. Don’t get me into a discussion on English dialects, reginal variations of US, Aus,Can etc. spelling. In the end I don’t care what the Chicago Manual of Style says, which is frequently quoted on discussion forums. It’s English! Now I have my nationalistic rant out of the way let’s move on. ## So to the other side of the coin Finance The outstanding issue, is their a return on the editing investment. I won’t know that for ages. The costs are not easy to cover when only selling a few books per week. Covering £1,000 of editing investment needs nearly £1500 of sales on Kindle at 70% and at an average £3.00 per kindle book needs 500 sales just to break even. Now I’ll have to advertise again to try and generate interest, more cost to be covered. Will I do the editing route again – yes because I want my books to be free of that criticism, but it’s still a lot of money to find, to blow on an egotistical journey. **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** Advertising, Amazon, Amazon Kindle, An Agent's Demise, book, books, Charlie Bray, E-book, Grammar, professional editing, The Indietribe, To The Survivors, Writers Resources, Writing --- ### [Convenient Day](https://phenweb.co.uk/convenient-day/) **Published:** June 2, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Convenient Day was written in 2014 – it remains a continuing rant. Today is the 2nd of June and I happened to come across the [Daily Mirror’s](https://www.mirror.co.uk/) paper headline (not the on-line site so I cannot give a link.) The Headline across the top half of the page has the *news* that today’s copy has a story concerning the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings including a reprint of the Mirror’s lead story form the time of the landings. **“FREE INSIDE** **70 Years on… our original D-Day Paper”** Given the secrecy and timing of the landings the story was printed on the 7th June reporting the landings on the previous day. All well and good and something to report and recall, even celebrate the successful landings despite the huge sacrifice to achieve the landings. My problem is this. The 2nd of June is not 70 years on, it’s nearly 70 years on. The headline is incorrect, it’s *a lie*, at best misleading and covers half the page of a national newspaper. The landings were originally scheduled for 5th June but delayed for 24 hours for weather until the early hours of the 6th. They were not and have never been on the 2nd. We may celebrate birthdays or anniversaries outside of the day itself but the anniversary day. You do not become 18 the day before even if you have a convenient birthday party and open your presents. It is not 70 years today, yet it will be on the 6th and to be even more pedantic the Mirror’s story is the 7th commemorating the 6th. This confirms a further comment about other convenient celebrations. We have the Queen’s *official* birthday rather than her actual birthday and then my pet peeve Remembrance Day. The Armistice came into being at the 11th Hour on the 11th Day of the 11th Month. The two minute silence should be applied then. Instead it is postponed or delivered early as a national remembrance on the nearest convenient Sunday. Even then local services are not held at the war memorial on the Sunday they start there but are in the Church not by the memorial. On the actual 11th even if it is a Sunday there are just a few persons standing near the memorial at 11:00. Why, because it would be inconvenient for the nation to remember the 1st World War Sacrifice on the day in question. Millions gave their lives but we must not halt current commerce, government or anything else because it’s inconvenient. For Remembrance Day I could throw in the Church’s need to control the events regardless of the religion, or lack of it, of those involved and commemorated. The same is true of other Bank Holidays on convenient Mondays. If we are to celebrate May Day why not on the 1st of May rather than the first Monday in May. Easter Monday is clearly tied with the religious events based on lunar calendars and weeks since whenever. Whit Sunday was the last Sunday in May another religious occasion but again is now a convenient last Monday in May Bank Holiday. With 24 hour shopping and global enterprise, is the whole concept of bank holidays on convenient Mondays or other dates outmoded and ridiculous? Why not celebrate/commemorate the date in question. Why can’t May Day be 1st May it is after all *May Day* and will occasionally be a Monday and why can’t remembrance day be on the day we should remember? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** commentary, rememberance d-day, Remembrance Day --- ### [Creationism, The New Right and a Rant](https://phenweb.co.uk/creationism-the-new-right-and-a-rant/) **Published:** June 15, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Creationism, The New Right and a Rant was written in 2014 I have just commented on a [blog](http://leewoof.org/2013/05/29/creation-vs-evolution-can-we-all-just-calm-down-please/#comment-13974), in which the author complains about the arguments between atheists and creationists getting out of hand. The author thought that by asking everyone to calm down and we should listen to all sides everything will be fine. Just like the argument with Islamic Fundamentalism. I have to disagree. It will not be *all right,* if we allow religious extremism to flourish unchallenged. I have no wish to live in an Islamic Caliphate nor a Tea-Party version of the world supported by a version of Christianity which seems routed circa 1550 A.D. A date that it is itself subject to significant variance. A.D with dates that don’t add up. But, I[ won’t start that again](https://phenweb.co.uk/time-for-numbers/), the discussion on numbers I mean. I wrote in my comments on the blog: I **believe** that crossing a busy road is safe if I close my eyes as **God will protect me**. I **know** that crossing a busy road is not safe if I close my eyes.One is fact one is faith or belief.I know which one I trust to be taught to children.Your description of teaching children to read is essential; however this must be based on fact. The air is compromised of various gasses it is not belief it is fact. It is belief that a book mis-translated through various languages over several thousand years (old and new testament) gives an accurate view of the world’s development. Scientists to believe propose hypothesise that may prove to be correct or not. In modern science these are tested by other scientists. This leads to probability of fact not absolute certainty but highly likely.It is highly likely that you will be killed or seriously injured in my first example, not fact. So to use the same reasoning on the creationist view of the world ends with ‘**a highly unlikely**‘ based on analysis despite the faith of those who believe it. It is highly unlikely that a book (which is contradicted in other contemporaneous records) is a factual account of what happened. Just as Galileo’s view of the solar system was incorrect. Five hundred or more years ago all Christian religious leaders thought the world was flat because the bible told them so, or so they said. It isn’t. I still find it amazing that in the 21st century (Christian calendar) religious faith is so persuasive and yet has such a narrow view of the world in which we live. There are probably seven billion people on the planet now. The bare majority are Christian (31%), Islamic (23%), but these are false numbers based on census returns where asked, assessments and projections. On most national official forms a submitter has to put a religion. I was born a Methodist (Christian,) married in a C of E church but I am not religious, yes it is hypocritical just like my parents baptising me into a religion without my say so. Before I have even a chance to think about the subject – indoctrination or culture? My argument today though is with Creationism, a smaller minority of Christianity but with translated political power in the USA; at least due to its strong connections into the Republican Party. The row there is what is taught in schools not in Religious Education classes but in science classes. In the UK the last week, outside of World Cup coverage, has been the ongoing actions in Birmingham of Islamic extremism creeping into the classroom. [OFSTED](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofsted) inspections have followed special measure have been implemented. Statements have been made in the Houses of Parliament. My largest concern to these matters is the lack of sexual equality apparent in this version of the Islamic faith just as it is in orthodox Jews and some parts of Christianity. Muslim women and reasonable Christians, are you not concerned with the impact on *your* lives. We have Nigerian girls kidnapped by so called Islamic extremists and a general Islamic approach in many so called Islamic countries to the prevention of equality. I haven’t read the reports let alone visited the schools but I just draw the comparison between reaction to Islamic teaching compared to Christian teaching in schools. We may not have the extent of creationism in the UK but both need to be challenged before a scientific approach to science and an equal (sexes) view of the world is lost. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** baptism, Birmingham, Christianity, controversial, creationism, culture, indoctrination, Islamic, Islamic Caliphate, Islamic Fundamentalism, muslim OFSTED, religious extremism, Republican, Tea Party --- ### [Intolerance](https://phenweb.co.uk/intolerance/) **Published:** June 22, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** *Intolerance dates from June 2014 – the subject continues with Woke, BLM and ongoing issues in 2021* After my excursion into religion last week I did think of writing on a less controversial subject like gay rights or paedophilia. This week’s headlines have been dominated by the events in Iraq whilst Ukraine nervously continues. Elsewhere, the impact of [missing girls in Nigeria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chibok_schoolgirls_kidnapping) has not gone away nor has the continued fighting in Afghanistan even if it is now local troops fighting rather than American or UK troops, or the other NATO forces that have been deployed there and shed their blood as well. As with Iraq, coalition forces will soon have departed and we can fully expect Afghanistan to return to its historical state of occasional tribal warfare. The Pakistan forces have just launched a major offensive. All of the conflicts have one thing in common – religious intolerance. Just as my previous blog attracted some comments it does not mean I shall give up on my view in that all religions behave appallingly, given half the chance, and yes I do include Christianity in that view. This time I am not focusing on historical inaccuracies or whether the Bible say this or that or the Koran , Torah, and onward into whatever belief system or set of rules that for one reason or another the individual believes is the truth. One thing is clear they cannot all be right, they cannot all have their version of God and religious duty. At the moment the conflict spreading from Syria to Iraq is between different branches of Islamic faith, Sunni and Shia. With perhaps the ISIS or ISIA forces another version of Sunni. Once Europe was full of competing version of Protestants and Catholics, helped by tribal rivalries amongst warring families so to see the Islamic faith fighting their wars should not be surprising. Then we have on-going issues between in Muslim, Sikh and Hindu faiths in India. The common factor is religion, not resources for a change. Organised religion as a proxy for the power of individuals. Whether it’s a leader in Iran, Saudi, Syria or or the never-ending fight of the Jewish faith and Arbia still seen in the battles over the future of Israel and Palestine. It was not that long ago that Hammas and Hezbolah were taking their fight onto the streets of what passes for a modern city in Palestine. Compare and contrast these activities with more secular liberal societies. Has Western Europe become immune to religious tension. Certainly on the scale seen in other nations. The argument falls down where we have Syria and Lebanon. Both partially secular on the surface. Assad’s regime was and is oppressive but there did appear to be some religious freedom. 1960’s Lebanon was seen as a typical Mediterranean European-like city before it descended into chaos which thanks to the activities of Syria and Israel (expelling Palestinians) remains on the precipice of civil war. What of the role of West in all this, the West a loose term for the alliance of USA and it’s allies. Falsehoods led to the second war in Iraq. The world’s moral indignation after 11th September 2001 has been lost. Instead of concentrating on fixing Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Iraq was attacked and Afghanistan ignored until it was too late. Just like Afghanistan was ignored after the Soviet Union left until the Taliban were firmly in charge. Now we have nations whose idea of the rule of law is secret courts and mass surveillance of their own citizens using carefully worded statements to explain how they comply with a law. We have had secret rendition, we still have *Guantanamo* and even here in the UK we need the new Supreme Court to tell us whether a trial, for the first time in our legal history, can be held completely in-Camera. Is this the freedom we believe we want. Judging by the lack of outrage ot these events I suppose it is. I looked at the Newspaper headlines today. There were more stories about the sex lives of minor celebrities and various free offers than there were about any of these issues. Judging by the number of people who bother to vote in the UK approx 30% in the latest local and Euro polls and approx 60% in last general election. No one cares. The scandal of MP expenses rumbles on but virtually all of the MPs were returned at the last election just because they wore a particular rosette. The average MP is elected with 35% of the vote from 60% of the electorate who bother to turn out. Democracy in action but at least it’s better than a religious dictatorship, although it’s no guarantor of freedom of expression, religion or action and as for equality don’t get me started. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** afghanistan, christian, democracy, egypt, Guantanamo, hindu, Iraq, Islamic, lebanon, MP, religion, syria, voting --- ### [Freedom - Not For Coulson](https://phenweb.co.uk/freedom-not-for-coulson/) **Published:** July 5, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** *Freedom – Not For Coulson was published in July 2014* I have been ruminating further on the nature of freedom, which should be clearly on [Andy Coulson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Coulson)’s mind after his verdict and jail sentence. I again refer you to the excellent coverage provided by The Drum, web site. ![Brooks Coulson](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/64460053_brooks_coulson640-300x169.jpg)Rebekah Brooks and Andy CoulsonFreedom from incarceration is clearly a very practical demonstration of the term as is freedom from state persecution. Many in the written media have commented on the limitations to freedom that the [Leveson Inquiry](https://discoverleveson.co.uk/) has provoked. At the same time the press/media has imposed limits on the freedom from invasion of privacy of public and not so public figures. The hounding of individuals by the media (and it is not just the press and paparazzi – who is filming them?) in pursuit of a story is clearly of interest to the public, but as many have said it is not necessarily in the public interest. I have [blogged ](https://phenweb.co.uk/nsa-and-snowden-a-year-on/ "NSA and Snowden – A Year On")before about the revelations from [Snowden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden) of surveillance on the general public. These have a double twist on freedom. The freedom of the public to live without the danger of a terrorist attack has to be balanced against the freedom from state surveillance and the fear of such an attack. It is not an easy balance or an easy judgement. Even liberal (small l) politicians have at times imposed restrictions on freedoms. These could be a CCTV camera recording all comings and goings at a school in the belief that this will prevent a child abduction. To help deter or prevent such events most schools now have CCTV recording every visitor and delivery, just in case. All of us, on such a visit, are assumed to be potentially guilty and therefore our movements must be recorded. Of course, in reality CCTV prevents nothing; Some of the time it may produce an image that may indicate something happened after the event. The rise of CCTV is an example of a surveillance state and a population which is scared or I should say encouraged by the media and politicians to feel scared. Prosecutal authorities want evidence of something happening after the event rather than preventing it happening. CCTV may increase the conviction rate but does it actually stop a crime being committed, whether petty vandalism or a more serious event? It is supposed to have a deterrence effect, but the largest growth of CCTV is in hidden cameras and private systems. This data is supposed to be registered with the Information Commissioner and the images are subject to the Data Protection Act unless they are purely for private means protecting private property. If you record the public street you are not recording private property but the passing general public. Despite the growth of surveillance by the state and others, some elements of the media would have us believe that there are paedophiles and murderers everywhere, and that terrorists are planting bombs on every street corner. The terrorism facts for deaths in the UK, excluding in Northern Ireland, are 1970’s – 48, 1980’s – 307 (270 in Lockerbie), 1990’s – 18, 2000’s – 56 (all in the London bombings of 7th July 2005). Since then, thankfully, there has only been one, the murder of Trooper Rigby. This does not include the thousands injured over the years or the failed attacks. Is this because the security services and the police are very good, or just that there is not as great a threat as some would have us believe? Contrast this with the threat of death from a car accident. Annual deaths, not *decade* totals, 1970’s- 7,499, 1980’s – 5,953, 1990’s – 5,217, 2000’s – 3500 reducing to 2,200 and so far reducing again in 2012 to 1,754. These numbers dwarf terrorism but we haven’t banned driving! Yet the budget for counter terrorism far exceeds that for road safety. Who are we protecting, and from what? The headlines and statistics are designed to scare the population into believing that security measures are absolutely necessary. We must restrict freedom by introducing surveillance systems with carefully worded legal get out clauses that avoid oversight and scrutiny. We have masses of CCTV camera everywhere, and now we have black boxes being offered in cars so that the insurance company can track how many miles you drive at what speed and where. This is proposed as a way of reducing your premiums. How long before its primary use is to deny a claim because you were driving 1 mph over the speed limit 2 minutes after the insurance time curfew. Meanwhile, the police can now request that data from the insurance company as evidence or just as part of a warranted or non-warranted investigation into something completely different. Of course you are not guilty of the crime that happened on the car route, but now your DNA is on file, alongside your fingerprints and the note on the police computer for eternity that you may have been a suspect or in the vicinity of. I was massively against National ID cards because I felt that it was a complete change to innocent until proven guilty. It is not for me to prove who I am walking down the street minding my own business. Currently in UK law it is not a criminal offence to give a false name to the police until charged. With ID cards, failing to give a valid ID would have become an offence. Yes ID cards may have been convenient, but loss of freedom isn’t about convenience. Stop and Search as used and abused against the ethnic population demonstrates how badly some current laws are used. If we examined the number of arrests for terrorism as opposed to the number of convictions we have the same mind set from the police and the emerging surveillance state. The enforcement of ever more identity checks, stopping innocent individuals taking photos in London, airport security etc, is a colossal waste of resources which rarely if ever *prevents* an act. It does succeed in terrorising the population though in the form of scaring the public into accepting further curtailments of their freedom. These are dressed up as preventing crime or terrorism. In all the recent attacks around the globe the security services had some of the individuals under surveillance or knew what was going on. Of course if there are no terrorist attacks then how can the security service and police justify their budgets and the new laws they require to prevent further terrorist attacks. Freedom is chipped away at our peril. One inch at a time, one adjustment of the law, one expansion of the law to cover a purpose for what it was not intended. For example extradition rules to the USA were change to help in terrorism cases. Their first use was for financial crime. The use of RIPA by local government to prevent dog fouling, I’m sure that was uppermost on the then Home Secretary’s mind, but the use continues, it has not been stopped. It saves of course the local authority from employing a dog warden, extra police or providing bins for dog walkers. They would need to be emptied. There are very few litter bins in London because once, in Warrington the bins were used for an IRA bomb causing the tragic deaths of two boys. As a consequence many bins were removed they have never returned. Now we have more litter as an unintended consequence of a counter terrorism measure. Are we safer? The ability to say, act and do things which are offensive, obnoxious or just stupid is as much a part of freedom as voting but given that 65% of the voting public can’t be bothered I don’t hold up much hope for freedom. Nothing to hide nothing to fear is normally advocated by those that believe we need more security. Despite my blogs I still like my privacy, especially by unwarranted intrusion. I do not want private companies phoning me wanting to sell me stuff or falsely asking if I have had an insurance claim. Nor do I want the state endlessly checking my email or filming me wherever I go, just in case something somewhere connects me to something else. If my third cousin fifteen times removed once looked at a Jihadist web site. Does that make me a legitimate target for surveillance? If Snowden is to be believed then the NSA/GCHQ etc already know that they just might not have checked the details, but they would have the meta-data of a connection. But of course reading about Jihad, other political and religious beliefs can be considered an act of terrorism seen as preparing for an act or just promoting extremism. Lady Chatterley was once banned because it was considered obscene now we ban web sites because they promote a belief and accessing such a web site is considered as preparation for an act of terrorism. Where is Freedom of Speech in this debate? I consider many political party web sites to be obnoxious, wrong and encouraging the wrong behaviour. Where they advocate repealing or changing the law are they not advocating potentially criminal acts and accessing them could be a criminal act? In the amount of misquoted statistics, headline promoting *facts* which are rarely taken in context I am surprised the Advertising Standards Authority does not take them to task. In the last few days England’s abject football performance received more detailed coverage that the Coulson, Brooks, et al, trial. The headlines of that trial have been used by the media to portray themselves as innocent and acting in the public interest, and therefore to undermine the politician’s case for press restrictions. There was little or any comment about real freedom, only the press’ freedom to continue to print their stories which are rarely if ever in the Public Interest. The hacking trial rarely if ever covered that because the Editor of a national newspaper was more interested in the sex life of a politician. There is almost no analysis of the evidence or the wider implications. There were greater headlines about the affair between Brooks and Coulson than there was about some of the key evidence e.g. the hacking of the Home Secretary’s phone something that Coulson admitted in the witness box but still pleaded not guilty to. He did not claim public interest for divulging the details of another conniving politician. How come the security services responsible for the security of the Home Secretary did not prevent that, or perhaps they knew but decided to keep the secret to themselves ready for the next discussion on budget. One editor guilty and one editor not guilty does not give either side in press freedom a leg to stand on. The press was exposed as not an arbiter of freedom but as what they are. Private companies desperate to generate revenue regardless of the legitimacy of the story. They were willing to publish anything from any source, truth, freedom to privacy had little to do with editorial decisions. Much of the hacking and other investigations was designed to hinder other media rivals. Denials were to prevent stories in other papers. The News of The World was exposed but what of the other papers all meekly claiming they had nothing to do with it and using the trial to hammer their News International Rival. Have their actions extended press freedom? Where are their investigations into press misbehaviour? Do we have to wait another ten years for other press misbehaviour to be exposed or another policing scandal. Which policeman shut down the hacking investigation and why? Who asked him/her to stop? Who is holding the prosecution service to account? Not the politicians and certainly not the press. Don’t ask because then you will become the investigated by the media and by the state. But then again we can protect the children and keep us all safe. One last thing on Coulson, Ed Milliband has accused David Cameron of employing a criminal. He is a convicted criminal now, he wasn’t then – remember **innocent until proven guilty**. One freedom does remain constant, never let the truth get in the way of a politician’s freedom to smear another individual sometimes even of the opposition party! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Brooks, Cameron, cctv, coulson, freedom, GCHQ, Home Secretary, Lady Chatterley, Leveson, lockerbie, Milliband, News of The World, NSA, politician, RIPA, security services, Snowden, terrorism --- ### [The Sequel Approaches](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-sequel-approaches/) **Published:** July 13, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** I’m nearly there. Over eighteen months since my [first book](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/ "An Agent’s Demise") launched onto and unsuspecting and oblivious world, its sequel is nearly ready. My other two books are completely different stories.This prompts a range of thoughts about sequels also prompted by the discussion on Closing Time by Joseph Heller a sort of sequel to Catch-22. Closing Time feels very different, more surreal and fantastical than Catch-22 and I have to admit that I did not find it as cynical or amusing. Comparisons can be harsh. What of other sequels some are like planned series of books. In a series there is a massive story to plot and unwind whether it’s Harry Potter (seven books) or Songs of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones (also at 7). I have been reading the Reacher series which is now I believe up to 16 of which I have read fourteen. They seem less planned than a typical series but were they unplanned sequels. In my own case, I did not intend that there should be a sequel, it wasn’t my intention. Writing it proved challenging for many months as I could not get a plot going that I liked. It will be for the eventual readers to judge whether I have succeeded. Of course I do not have a professional publisher wanting a return on their investment waiting for the next instalment. My investment is one of time and interest, rather than financial gain. If I sell half as many copies I would be happy but that won’t pay for the editing. So, should I save my money and perhaps not save my readers (if I get any) from some of my worst grammatical errors? Then there are web-site pages, adverts, messages, to plan and complete. KDP forms to fill in, pricing to set. To Kindle Select or nor. Should there be a [Smashwords](http://www.smashwords.com) edition and what about the hard copy paperback or hardback where [Lulu](http://www.lulu.com) helped with the first three books. Shall I take the time and effort to publish physically? Then there are the readers who have asked for a sequel almost since day one. Now, it’s nearly here I am full of nervousness about releasing it. Far more than my previous efforts. I have delayed and prevaricated. I have adjusted and amended, moved sentences, paragraphs and even whole chapters. I have added and deleted whole chunks and changed plot direction several times. I have gone back and checked with the first book. Are there contradictions inconsistencies? Does the timeline work? Some Beta reader comments – sorry about missing your train-station Trevor. That’s good in one part. For Trevor it was engrossing will it be for others. One recent review of my second book described it as boring. That was not a reaction I had received before. I hope this is not boring. Should I add more sex and violence be more/less graphic? Too much sex, not enough violence, bad language, what should the balance be? Have I checked my other facts, the historical backdrop? After all this I want my readers to enjoy the story, to lose themselves for a few hours in a make believe fictional world but with a clear base of recent history. I want them to care about the characters, care enough to keep reading. Perhaps encourage others to read the story; demand another sequel? We’ll see. Now is it time to press the publish button? Not quite, one more check on the book but I can click the blog publish. **Categories:** Writing Blogs **Tags:** An Agent's Demise, An Agent's Rise, Beta readers, book, books, E-book, Editing, Fiction, Grammar, hardback, Kindle, lulu, paperback, Smashwords, spy.

Following last night’s debate, between Alex Salmond First Minister, [SNP](https://www.snp.org/) and leader of the campaign for a *Yes* vote, and Alastair Darling former Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of the campaign for a *No* vote, I felt it was high time I did write something. Firstly, I am annoyed that I don’t have a vote. There was an act of Union between Scotland and England, Wales and then Ireland and yet only one part of the union is getting a say on the subject as to whether it should continue. This does not seem to be democratic to me. Of course there is no telling what the voting in the rest of the United Kingdom might deliver. Perhaps they might vote *Yes*! Secondly, the talk is that if there is a *No* vote (current poll prediction is 56% for *No*), Scotland will be offered further devolved powers. In this scenario ***what about England***? We have devolved powers from Westminster to the Northern Irish and Welsh Assemblies and a greater range of devolved powers to the Scottish Parliament. Scotland has always had it’s own legal system for example. Despite current devolved powers Scottish (and Welsh and Northern Irish) MPs and Peers have continued to vote in Parliament on matters that are devolved to the individual nations and principalities. This is the famous West Lothian question and has not been addressed by any of the political parties. As part of any further devolution settlement can we at least address this undemocratic system. As all MPs represent geographical constituencies having no votes on particular subject like NHS in England would only be fair in exchange for devolved powers. Given the ability of any TV programme to count and handle millions of votes in a TV talent contest in a few broadcast minutes it seems inconceivable that our elected representatives cannot agree out of 650 MPs who can vote on any given subject. Thirdly, demographics matter and one of the comments I heard today was on the relative voting power of London and Scotland. London has 73 constituencies serving a population of 6.5 million living there, whilst Scotland has 59 MPs for 5.3 million. This is out of 650 MPs. The ratio is approximately the same 89,000 eligible voters per MP. Yet London MPs cannot vote on devolved matters but 59 Scottish MPs do when it does not impact their own constituents. Relative economies are interesting as well. London as 22% of the UKs GDP of $2.5 Trillion dollars (approx $550 billion). Scotland has $214 billion of that. London’s share of the UK minus Scotland would therefore go up to nearly 24% and the runt of the UK would drop to $2.3 Trillion. These figure are I’m sure disputed by the SNP and *Yes* campaign. In terms of a democratic and economic deficit it is London that is being ignored and on a wider scale England. Scotland has no prescription charges (nor does Wales) and no University tuition fees for residents. According to the ONS here, Scotland receives £10,152 per head of population of Public Sector spending compared to England’s £8,529. Again who has a democratic and economic deficit? It is not Scotland. In the end as with all independence movements around the world the vote (at least there is one) will be down to the Scottish voters who turn out and tick a *Yes* or *No* vote. In the last Scottish Parliament election in 2011 turnout was 50.4%. I would hope that more than half of the Scottish residents on the electoral role would bother to vote in this referendum, after all the SNP has changed voting rules to allow persons over the age of 16 to vote. Let’s say that the turnout is 100% of the 4 million on the electoral roll; therefore, each campaign needs a minimum of 2,000,001 votes to win. Out of nearly 64 million people in the UK it’s future could be decided by less than 3.2% of the population. ***How’s that for democracy?*** **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** democracy, Devolution, England, London, MPs, No Note, ONS, Parliament, referendum, Scotland, Scottish Independence, SNP, UK, voting, West Lothian question, Yes Vote --- ### [Ramblings on a Referendum](https://phenweb.co.uk/ramblings-on-a-referendum/) **Published:** September 21, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Ramblings on a referendum was written in September 2014 after the Scottish independence referendum ![Writer](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/img_0169-225x300.jpg)I’ve just returned from a week in Las Palmas in The Canary Islands of Spain, don’t worry this is not trip advisor. Away from the UK my wife and I missed the Scottish referendum election and much of the ongoing horrors in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine alongside the Ebola crisis. Not that these events have gone away, even the referendum will have ramifications for months in the UK as the politicians will decide which of the bribes they proposed to the Scottish electorate will be fulfilled – oh and England, Wales and Northern Ireland may get some constitutional change too. How generous, although the argument now seems to be either: from Labour on what the impact will be on reducing the ability of Scottish Labour MPs to vote on English matters; the Conservatives need something to continue their fight with UKIP.Meanwhile another group of MPs continue to receive their salaries and benefits of MPs without ever attending Parliament or taking up their seats. Sinn Féin step forward no news there.As I discussed in a previous [post ](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-west-lothian-question/ "The West Lothian Question")the whole referendum process for Scotland was anything but democratic for the rest of the UK in the end 55% of those voting which was 85.5% (thanks for bothering, but what happened to the other 15%) of the 4.3m, or 3.6m decided the future of 64m. We had the unedifying view of all the main political parties disappearing to Scotland with vague promises on DevoMax which they had all decided previously should not have been on the ballot. Promises put forward by Gordon Brown, so we can all believe those!. I think the SNP were right to describe this as a pointless halfway house if Scotland really wanted control it had to vote yes. Further devolved powers do not make us more united. Of course the independence movement failed to mention the real problem – with so much legislation decided by Brussels or other treaty obligations even an independent Scotland would not have had that much control just like Westminster does not. That was if the EU (Spain may well have vetoed), NATO (would take defence commitments) and the UN (they will take anyone) accepted applications. What about the World Bank, IMF, World Health Organisation these international institutions are all part of legislative and economic power base of the world. Would an independent Scotland have joined the European Space Agency? Perhaps it was this and the currency uncertainties that tipped the balance in favour on a no. Who knows perhaps it was the colour of the flag that appealed. The Liberal Democrats (remember them they are still in the Coalition) have proposed a federal organisation of the UK as part of the reform. My son who has studied this stuff likes the idea. If it creates another layer of bureaucracy which the previous Labour regional assembly proposals did then I would be against. Labour wants to follow the example of London for more power to big cities but then what about those of us that do not live in big cities? Whatever happens Parliamentary reform is long overdue we should have far fewer MPs given the devolved powers already and even fewer in the Lords. Perhaps 500 MPs with devolved powers to regional parliaments and 250 in the Lords – elected please. Meanwhile the Pope thinks World War 3 is effectively under way due to the conflicts throughout the world. Not quite; however brutal and the number of conflicts. Clearly, it makes no difference to the victims whether the Pope thinks it’s a World War or not but human history is full of mostly unreported conflict. The battles in Africa seem never ending mostly based on tribal divisions made worse by the colonial false borders. There seems no easy resolution of the Syria conflict without supporting Assad, the very man the Western powers (and others) wanted removed, in order to defeat the allegedly bigger threat of ISIS, IS or ISL. The appalling beheading on video of hostages adds to the fear element in the West allowing/forcing the politicians to act as if that one death is worse than the death from Ebola, Malaria, AIDS, or cancer. Horrific yes but so is a bomb from a coalition aircraft or a shell from an ISIS fighter. Remember those *wonderful* pictures of precision bombing. Someone’s son, brother, father, daughter, sister or mother has just been publicly killed. No squeamishness from western media in showing that video, but of course the victims are not journalists or aid workers. Not that we know who was in the vehicle or building alongside the fighter. The famous unverified reports beloved of BBC speak especially when dealing with sensitive subjects, must not get in trouble with the government when the next license fee discussion is under way. Even to the point of not reporting a story about a famous tennis player in case his view influences (only during voting day) the Scottish Referendum – really? The BBC’s efforts not to fall foul or the Electoral Commission are sometimes laughable, just like the promises of constitutional reform which we will now have to sit through. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** AIDS, BBC, Conservative, devolved powers, DevoMax, Ebola, election, Electoral Commission, ESA, EU, Gordon Brown, IMF, independence, independent Scotland, Iraq, IS, ISIS, ISL, Labour, Liberal Democrat, Lords, Malaria, MPs, NATO, Parliament, referendum, Salmond, Scotland, Scottish referendum, Sinn Féin, SNP, Spain, syria, UK, UN, WHO, World Bank, World War --- ### [Will They Ever Change - The Price of Fish](https://phenweb.co.uk/will-they-ever-change-the-price-of-fish/) **Published:** October 11, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Will they ever chnage – the price of fish was a reflection on politics in 2015 An old saying – *It won’t change the price of fish*. It’s a deeply pessimistic or cynical view of the efforts of our government to actually make a difference. The next UK General Election will be held on 7th May 2015. Between now and then we have a further By-Election which comes hot on the heels of the two on 9th October 2014. In those By-Elections UKIP won one and came a close second in another. It now has it’s first UK Member of Parliament (MP) via the First Past the post election system for Westminster. This achievement goes with its 24 Members of the European Parliament (MEP) elected under proportional representation. Before the next General Election it may have another MP. All this turmoil for the main political parties comes after the Scottish Referendum and poll ratings that should concern any political leader from any party, apart from Nigel Farage of UKIP. In the usual dull analysis that has followed the By-Elections the usual culprit of the immigration debate has been raised as the main source of discontent with Labour, The Conservatives and the almost forgotten Liberal Democrats. The SNP and Plaid Cymru have their support in Scotland and Wales respectively as do the Northern Irish political parties yet UKIP has made inroads even in these areas. Why? My personal view is that this goes back to the the scandals before the last election i.e. MPs expenses and behaviour. I had hoped that after the scandal and the anger caused that there would have been a sea change in attitude from the political class and a huge change in representation in Westminster. It did not happen, of the 650 sitting MPs before the last election… *In all, 148 MPs (100 Labour, 35 Conservatives, 7 Liberal Democrats, 2 Independents, 1 Independent Conservative and 1 member each from Plaid Cymru, the DUP, and the SDLP) decided not to contest the election. [Alex Salmond](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Salmond "Alex Salmond") did not stand for re-election in order to focus on the role of [First Minister of Scotland](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Minister_of_Scotland "First Minister of Scotland") but the SNP retained the seat with a different candidate and a reduced majority over the Conservative Party.* ([Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2010)) What is still amazing to me is that 502 MPs carried on regardless. Now not all those MPs had behaved wrongly in the scandal but they all followed the expenses regime even if they technically did not abuse it. I personally challenged my sitting MP during the hustings on his behaviour. Along with many others in the audience we pointed out that if we had behaved as he had done in our military careers we would have been subject to a court-martial. He apologised, stated that he had paid the money back, then got re-elected alongside his fellow 501. The old saying that the British Electorate would elect a pig if it wore the right rosette remained true, but might that change? Despite the so-called expert analysis that it’s Immigration and Europe that account for UKIP’s popularity, I am not sure. Nearly every interview I have seen recently with actual UKIP voters explains that there is more than this. The words *Westminster elite,* which the SNP has used in its campaigns, are reflected in the comments from these voters. There is an underlying anger with all our current politicians. Their weasel words, their blatant insincerity but mostly their sheer failure to address problems. These problems remain irrespective of which colour rosette is in office or which white middle class male is heading the other white middle class males (one notable exception I know but she behaved no differently). It is no use blaming the school they went to after all that choice was their parent’s not theirs. > An example – I am a fan of Grand Designs yet in virtually every design the builder gets their windows, materials etc from Germany because they are the only country that manufactures to the right specification. Is it really the case that our manufacturing and construction industries cannot build a window frame to the right high-tech standard? Come on Mr Branson, Sugar et al or the Dragon’s Den entrepreneurs why are you not investing in this capability or do we really need another branded train/bank,sauce experience! Where is government in this, why can BT take public money for fibre broadband then only deliver it to the cabinet up the street. Why aren’t new house built with fibre to the property with solar panels built in and with those high tech windows that save energy. The old manufacturing centre of the North of England are apparently desperate for work so why would I have to go to Germany to get a descent set of windows. Instead we have proposals for hundreds of thousands of new homes. Homes that are built to the same poor standards we currently have. Homes that will be plopped into villages and small towns with no additional infrastructure, no new schools doctors etc. At least when the garden cities were built this was included. Now adding an estate of 200-300 homes results in a playground if you are lucky. I believe there is an underlying unease with the political establishment and those that report on them alongside the bureaucrats that implement policies so badly. There smugness, their unnamed sources reported and constant manoeuvring for their own gain. If we are to have a better election with better MPs then our media need to do a much better job, but of course if they are to critical then they won’t get the inside story. It is in no one’s interest to have a reasoned sensible debate. Instead minor differences are blown up into fake huge rows where no facts are present just interpretation of carefully selected statistics. Perhaps UKIPs rise is due to protests on immigration, Europe or is it something broader. The votes that used to go to Lib Dems in by-elections are now UKIPs, because the Lib Dems in government have shown themselves to be no different from the rest. As I wrote earlier I had hoped for a major change in attitude if not parties after the last election. Perhaps it will come this time round but somehow, after months of campaigning I doubt that it will. We will have a combination of white middle class men from the same schools and universities carving up the offices of state for their own fulfilment. What we can all be certain of is – it won’t change the price of fish. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** BBC, Conservative, Expenses, General Election, grand designs, high-tech, houses, Labour, Liberal Democrat, media, MEP, MP, Nigel Farage, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, Plaid Cymru, planning, Publishing, SNP, UKIP, voting, Westminster, Writing --- ### [November](https://phenweb.co.uk/november/) **Published:** November 15, 2014 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** There is no moustache to join in the fund raising of a [*Movember in November*](http://uk.movember.com/) It is long gone like the career I once expected that went with it. Seventeen years of no upper lip shaving swept away with the clip of some scissors and the scraping of a sharp blade. There was not even a tan line left behind, once the sink was rinsed. The face in the mirror was a shock, almost as much as the look on my children’s faces. They had never known a non-moustached father nor one permanently out of uniform. The moustache was a reminder from an earlier beard and other changes from my young adulthood. Like hair which occasionally was quite long. Now that is nearly all gone too. My multiple ages of man (The Seven Ages) may match Shakespeare’s words, but it feels like multiple adult lives. There was the work time before the armed forces, then the military career which in turn encompassed multiple locations, jobs, stages, phases but not as many ranks as I had hoped. Then there was the moustache-less rebirth as a civilian, jobs then as a self-employed consultant then back to the attractions of permanent roles. Again different jobs in different locations with one huge difference. I have stayed in one home. I have lived in this house longer than anywhere else, whilst jobs changed, children grew to adulthood and my little hair changed to grey. Why this retrospective now, it is not a personal anniversary, but an anniversary has prompted these thoughts. I worked from home on Tuesday and walked in the dull drizzle to the war memorial where at 11:00 I stood for the requisite two minutes and contemplated the war dead. The memorial was ill attended on Armistice Day although on Remembrance Sunday it had been busy. Then we had stopped the car for the two minutes, on a journey to see family. As I stood with my wife and the dozen others, cars drove by seemingly oblivious. The silence was in my head. The memories were in my head. I have written [before](https://phenweb.co.uk/convenient-day/ "Convenient Day") about my annoyance at not commemorating proper dates and I was glad to see the BBC make an effort on Tuesday with its coverage from The Tower of London and Ypres. Perhaps in 1918 we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ***end*** of the war on the ***proper*** day. I find it hard to enjoy the commemoration of the ***start*** of the war. On Monday I used my lunch break to join the crowds at the Tower of London for the stunning display: ![Tower Poppies](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/img_0406-1-225x300.jpg) Wednesday provided a shock, as my daughter’s boyfriend broke his leg during training on an Army course. This flooded memories of other notifications and more remembrance, from my service days of delivering bad news or hearing it. The growers of the *Movember* Moustaches raise funds for Men’s Health. By raising funds they hope that there will be fewer notifications or treatments required. I shall not be growing one to join in although for an unshaven weekend I was tempted, but I can support them. My son is growing one – so well done him, He’s growing the one I once had my wife has just commented. I wonder, if, at the end of the month, the growers will be glad to cut, trim, and shave, the hair away. Perhaps some will remain for several years or return next year for an anniversary. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** 11th November, Armed Forces, Armistice Day, Army, BBC, Ebola, First World War, Iraq, Moustache, Movember, Poppies, Rememberance Sunday, Service, Shakespeare, syria, Tower of London, Ypres --- ### [Innocent Until Proven Guilty](https://phenweb.co.uk/innocent-until-proven-guilty/) **Published:** January 3, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Innocent until proven guilty was a blog written in 2015 Not for the first time, the media this morning is full of allegations against senior people. The glee of the witch hunt is in the UK media over anything to do with sexual assault or sexual abuse. This fevered reporting has been going on since the death of Jimmy Saville. Barely a day goes by without some new scandal or alleged cover up of abuse. Mere association is enough to sometimes be dragged through the mire of a newspaper’s indignation. Saville, nor his alleged victims (I know they claim their is no *alleged* involved) will never have their day in court to legally judge his guilt or innocence. Nor can his reputation be tested with civil proceedings for libel or slander. Instead, redress is being sought through various on-going inquiries which in turn has snared many others. Some will and have been found guilty, others have been cleared. The basic tenant of our legal system is ***innocent until proven guilty***. With all these widespread allegations and smears, it would be wise for the media and in particular newspaper editors to remember that. As outsiders to this process, we have an interest in hearing of the failures of various authorities to even investigate the allegations. We all believe that the state’s apparatus will be used to at least *investigate*. From what is public knowledge it is clear that this failed, for several reasons. Disbelief, ignorance, lack of evidence, or conspiracy and cover up may all form part or all of these reasons. Even proposed leaders of one of the proposed inquiries have had to step down for merely knowing one of the politicians involved. Further delay will incur. I am not a victim, by that very fact I cannot fully understand the pain and grief that victims have gone through. I can sympathise with their plight. I can express anger with the authorities for their failings to investigate properly. I too can be sucked into the maelstrom of accusations and lack of surprise as to who is next. All this assessment of guilt or innocence, allegation and denial comes on the 800th anniversary of one of the most important documents in English law, if not world law. The Magna Carta was signed at Runnymeade in Berkshire by King John on 15th June AD1215. This date is O.S. For old style as thanks to changes in the [Gregorian Calendar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar) the date is 13 days different – Britain only adopted the calendar in 1752 – I do not want to start about numbers and [relative dates again](https://phenweb.co.uk/time-for-numbers/ "Time For Numbers")! I have to ask when was Christmas Day, Winter Solstice, New Years Day? Even the year was only calculated in the 6th century as we now calculate AD. The method of its calculation is disputed. The document contains some 63 clauses, many of which confirm the feudal nature of society, and demonstrate that King John was in serious trouble with his barons. Two clauses though are held up as the foundation of the UK’s legal system. (I’ll include Scotland in the UK definition although King John was not King of Scotland. Sorry Scots but you voted to stay in.) > 39\. No freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way harmed – nor will we go upon or send upon him – save by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land. > > 40\. To none will we sell, to none deny or delay, right or justice. Both these clause apply to the current situation. The first is taken to ensure the right of a fair *jury* trial. The second for the right to justice for all. This is reflected in subsequent legislation including the European Convention on Human Rights and the workings of the International Criminal Court. Unfortunately, in both the current UK and USA we have secret courts in action where this process is denied. In the second, the alleged victims have been denied justice for many years. To be very cynical, the Magna Carta was not about the rights of the common man. It was about the rights of the privileged few, the monarchy and the aristocracy in the form of the co-signatories King John and the Barons (full list here). Unlike many other nations, Britain does not have a formal written single constitutional document where these rights are listed. Judging from abroad, even where such a document exists (e.g. the USA) most legislation is designed to work around protections provided for the common man (or woman) and create years of legal dispute. For example, the holding without trial of possible enemy combatants in illegal prisons. These prisons deliberately set up outside normal jurisdictions in third-party countries. Then, there is the complicit activity of various other nations in supporting these actions. Unfortunately, in the sexual abuse cases, Lawrence Inquiries, Hillsborough Inquiry and ongoing counter-terrorism and security service activity, it is apparent that the Magna Cart has failed. The people we have placed in power (the few who bother to vote that is) have decided that Clause 39 does not apply and Clause 40 should be delayed as long as possible. The problem for our society in the 800th anniversary year is that if victims wish to deny clause 39 for the alleged perpetrators (broadcasting in the media creates the harm) then, they should not be surprised that clause 40 is not implemented. Mud sticks, not all allegations are true. Clauses 39 and 40 are supposed to ensure this does not happen. We do have a legal system; however, flawed, it is beholden on all of us to uphold both clauses. That means insisting on the rights of victims *and* the accused; however unpalatable that might be; however heinous the alleged crimes. What is not acceptable is a failure to investigate. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** alleged victims, BBC, Gregorian calendar, guilty, innocent until proven guilty, Jimmy Saville, King John, legal system, Magna Carta, Philip G Henley, Runnymeade, sexual abuse, Writing --- ### [Ramblings](https://phenweb.co.uk/ramblings/) **Published:** January 30, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** There has been a lot going on since my last commentary blog hence my new ramblings. The Paris attacks are a notable case in point. These have, once again prompted the powers that be to insist that they need more powers to monitor communications as a way of preventing further attacks. Once again no specificity is provided on how exactly the systems proposed would have prevented an attack. Especially, given that the purveyors of the UK’s 7/7/ and Lee Rigby attacks and the Paris attackers were already known to the security services and could therefore, have had a warranted watch put on them. In the House of Lords in the UK, a small group of peers attempted to re-introduce the proposed “Snooper’s Charter” via a back door amendment into another bill. It failed but all the main political parties seem to be keen to re-introduce such legislation in the next Parliament. It may only be a temporary reprieve. I am torn between the need for the security and police services to have the tools they need, against the wider civil liberties objections. It would really help if actual facts were provided rather than meaningless ascertains. What was truly astonishing was the demonstrable lack of expertise exhibited by any of the speakers. By their questions they could not describe how the technology works, why current systems cannot do what they want, or how they can be circumvented? This against a back-drop of Post-Snowden cynicism. Itself created by the continuing release of so much information on how the 5 Eyes have already misused their powers. Then, there is the misuse of existent legislation, like the use of RIPA to spy on everyone from journalists to dog fouling pedestrians. The bland statements of we acted within the law, whilst pressing for changes to those same laws. Of course with CCTV on every corner even private face to face meetings can be monitored, if only the pictures were not so rubbish – traffic enforcement does not seem to have the problem. Frankly, if the security services or police want to intercept get a warrant. This gives them all the power they need. Of course it may help their argument if tapped phone calls etc were admissible in UK courts; yet these same organizations do not want that. So what is the information for? Even where full surveillance is in place, in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack, the security services and police managed to kill the wrong target (Mendes) or used their authority to investigate the family of innocent victims (Lawrence). Both of course actions under the stewardship of the then Met Police Commissioner Blair. The same Blair who tried to get the amendment through parliament. Another Blair, (ex PM this time) of course has stated how keen he is for the [Chilcott inquiry](https://phenweb.co.uk/chilcots-inquiry-stranger-than-my-own-fiction/) to finally report on the actions leading up to the second Iraq war. The report has again been delayed until after the next election. Much like the Bloody Sunday Inquiry – good job if you can get it – unlimited budget, no delivery timescale, and a no requirement to come up with interim or other conclusions. Even parliamentary scrutiny can be ignored or not answered. Independent judiciary, or cover up for their mates? It is difficult to decide. Of course I would love to see the outcome in light of the background story to my own books (needed to get a plug in somewhere) [An Agent’s Demise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-demise/) and [An Agent’s Rise](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/an-agents-rise/). One reviewer thought my story was far fetched – clearly they have not read about the machinations of the politicians and spy agencies to justify their actions. Still another election is looming and the electorate are far more concerned with who will win Big Brother rather than who is behaving as Big Brother! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** 7th July Bombings, Amazon Kindle, An Agent's Demise, An Agent's Rise, BBC, Blair, book, Edward Snowden, House of Lords, Lee Rigby, Medes, Paris Bombings, Parliament, RIPA, security services, Snooper's Charter, Stephen Lawrence, terrorism, Tony Blair, UK, Writing --- ### [The Case of The Appearing Green Bin](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-case-of-the-appearing-green-bin/) **Published:** February 13, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Yes you read the title correctly. Normally mysteries are about disappearing people or things but in my case its about an appearing green bin. Start at the beginning. Wednesday is rubbish collection day (trash to my US friends). The procedure here is to alternately put out either one week the normal rubbish bin followed the next week by a blue recycling bin. This particular Wednesday dawned dark and cold as has been typical of this early February weather. Most residents put out the required bin onto their pavements the night before ready for collection first thing in the morning normally before 8:00 a.m. I disappeared off to work before the main event. On my return, in the dark, I checked the bin before realising the one outside was green. Not black like the one that had been placed outside the house the night before and was awaiting collection when I had left that morning. I stood puzzled for a few minutes, A green bin? I looked around there were no other green bins, in fact it was the only bin on the pavement in the street that I could see. In the rear of out home our black bin had already been returned to it storage location. I had thought for a minute I may have gone colour blind especially in the dark and cold. When my wife returned from her work, she confirmed that the bin had appeared on our drive that morning. She had placed it back on the pavement in case it belonged to someone else and to clear the drive. The bin is empty and clean and contains no clue as to whom it belongs. It’s now Friday evening the bin remains where my wife left it, unmoved, uncollected and clearly unloved. No notices have been posted about a lost bin. Who deposited it there and why. Is this some sort of new surveillance trick by the security services? Perhaps aliens have invaded shaped as large green bins? Green bags are supplied by the local council if you subscribe to their garden waste collection service, but not green bins. My wife and I had already covered the ‘did you order it?’ discussion. But if the bin had been delivered would it not have had a wrapper and a receipt? Perhaps it fell off the back of a lorry, literally, but how did it come to be deposited neatly on our drive. Perhaps its a gift, what should we do, notify neighbours? So if anybody is missing a large green bin, please let me know, of course it may be gone in the morning! But it’s presence has been noted, it may appear in a tale or two not just a blog! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Bin, local council, recycle, rubbish, rubbish collection, street, trash --- ### [Plays](https://phenweb.co.uk/plays/) **Published:** March 1, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Just had to write about a play and a musical I was lucky enough to go and see this week.

With this I have just failed – sorry. First rant on the way is about coverage. This is a vote for MPs standing in 650 constituencies across the UK. The MP once elected is supposed to represent all the constituents not just the minority that actually voted for the individual, whatever the rosette. Second rant, concerns who we can vote for. I cannot vote for David Cameron, Ed Milliband, Nigel Farage, Nick Clegg or any of the other party leaders. They are not standing in the constituency in which I live. They are not standing against each other either. The constant portrayal by the media of the battle between them is factually and practically wrong. Another reason why the TV debates were farcical. Yes, as leaders of their parties they may be involved, if re-elected by their constituencies, with one exception for one leader. Nicola Sturgeon is not actually standing for Westminster but she seems to be the only focus of much of the coverage. She is so convinced that she knows what is right for the UK she has decided to stay as an MSP. This fact has not even received any coverage – democratic deficit anyone? Her former boss Alex Salmond is standing (after allegedly retiring). This reminds me of Putin becoming Prime Minister so that he could comply with re-election rules in Russia before returning as President. Is there something the SNP is not telling us? It was supposed to be a six week campaign leading up to the vote on the 7th May but thanks to the new fixed terms it seems we have gone straight from the Scottish referendum into the General election. As I have previously covered, when discussing the referendum, the media seem to be totally focused on the role of the SNP and the likely results in Scotland deciding what the rest of the United Kingdom should do. Whereas, in the referendum we had over 6% of the electorate deciding whether to breakup the UK we now have the potential for the similar 5% deciding who governs. The lower percentage is due to the 16 and 17 year-old’s who could vote in the referendum but cannot vote in the General Election. At the end of the [2010 election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_United_Kingdom_general_election) we had the Liberal Democrats forming a formal coalition with the Conservatives who were by far the largest party and had the largest share of the **UK** vote. The Conservatives missed out on forming a non coalition government by 23 MPs. The SNP in its public statements has already ruled out any support for a Conservative led government (although in the Scottish Parliament the SNP has in the past relied on Conservative support). The public statements have been made by Nicola Sturgeon the SNP leader who is not even standing in the election! She next stands for election in 2016 in the Scottish Parliamentary elections. Therefore, she is saying that regardless of the result in the rest of the UK she will not support potentially the largest democratic vote. Of course combined with Labour, the share of the vote may well exceed that of the Conservatives, but previous results have shown this not to be the case. Boundary changes were supposed to correct the anomaly. Scotland’s 5% of voters 9% of population equates in Westminster MPs to 9% of MPs (59 out of 650). Polls seem to indicate that the SNP may win over forty of these, predominantly from Labour. As with public sector spending per head Scotland seems to be batting above its position. UKIP proposes to change this position by reforming the Barnet formula for devolved spending. Of course UKIP may have some MPs itself to support or otherwise any planned coalition. Meanwhile the polls tell us it is too close to call but that some informal or formal arrangement nay have to exist. Labour has said no to any formal coalition with SNP. Liberal Democrats have said they will work with anyone depending on the results. The Conservatives only talk about overall majorities. If the Conservatives do have an overall majority will the SNP respect the democratic decision of the majority of the voting population? Enough politics I have [books](https://phenweb.co.uk/ "The Books") to write! **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** BBC, David Cameron, Ed Milliband, election, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Nick Clegg, Nicola Sturgeon, Nigel Farage, Online Writing, Parliament, Philip G Henley, SNP, The Conservatives, UK, UKIP, Writing --- ### [Post Election](https://phenweb.co.uk/post-election/) **Published:** June 20, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Post election blog 2015 I’ve put off commentating on the UK General Election for a few weeks. Firstly, because I was on holiday when the results were being counted and secondly, because I wanted time to collect my thoughts. I have written before, about the Scottish Referendum, and my thoughts on how this impacted democracy and now we have another set of results to ponder. Let’s skip over the compete inability of the professional commentators and pollsters failure to predict results. There is a collective ignorance across much of mainstream media about how voters interact with pollsters and focus groups. You get this in all sorts of surveys and its hidden in the small print (not in this blog) when they say 8 out of 10 ***WHO RESPONDED***, liked so and so. Political pollsters use their already collected results to distribute the *don’t know* and *go away* responses across the existing results i.e. if 35% is the rating for party x then they assume that 35% of the *don’t knows* or *won’t tells* will vote that way. In other words, the extrapolate the results based on current and past numbers and therefore confirm their own prediction. Me I bet money on the result, for non-Conservative supporters, sorry yes I did bet on a Conservative win. Even I did not expect an overall majority via the first past the post system. Of course what the pollsters wanted was 650 surveys featuring a high number of respondents. They had to wait for the actual election to get an accurate forecast. Even the exit polls were incorrect. Now it is believed that the split in the *don’t knows* and *won’t tells* was actually heavily in favour (in England anyway) of the Conservatives. Who knows? The *don’t knows* and *won’t tells* will get another chance in five years for the general election. By which time we will have had another referendum, euro-elections, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly elections and numerous local elections. All of which will give the pollsters something to discuss. Meanwhile I can turn my attention to the major democratic deficiencies highlighted by the election. Lets start with facts. I’ll use the [BBC’s results page](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results) for ease of look up, I’m not dismissing NI and Wales but concentrating on England and Scotland and I’ll gloss over the fact that only 66% bothered to vote at all - Con 331 seats from 36.9% of the vote - Lab 232 from 30.4% - SNP 56 from 4.7% - LibDem 8 from 7.9% - Green 1 from 3.8% - UKIP 1 from 12.6% So democracy in action meant that with 37% of the people who voted for UKIP, the SNP ended up with 56 times the number of MPs. The Labour comparison is also interesting 6.5 times the number of votes for only 4.1 times the number of seats. The Conservatives won an outright majority with 36.9% of 66.1% or 24% of the possible voting public. Before the other parties get on their high horses only 20% voted for Labour and 3% for the SNP. We can then argue about combinations voting against i.e. which is a nice way of saying no outright majority voted for anybody. Yes, I know SNP had 50% of the vote but that is actually 50% of the 71.1% that voted i.e. 35.5% of the eligible voters. Aren’t numbers great! Percentages are even better allowing all sorts of conclusions to be drawn or statistics manipulated depending on what headline the writer wants to create. What is clear is that two parties are massively under represented in the UK Parliament UKIP and the Greens on shares of the vote they should have 81.9 and 24.7 MPs respectively. The Lib Dems should have 51 and the SNP 30.55. If we limited SNP to Scotland they should only have 50% of 59 i.e. 24.5. Various proportional representation systems would have produced various different results. If single transferable votes were used then who knows where it would end up. Lists (like the Euro elections) would get a different outcome again. What does this mean? If you don’t vote you can’t complain. If you do vote you can complain all you want but, we had a referendum on changing the system from first past the post and barely anybody (OK 41%) bothered to vote and 67.9% voted to keep the current system. Can’t complain about that either. Of course in this dirge I haven’t tried to answer why the vote went the way it did.

Yes, we need to be safe, we need to take precautions but we also need to be brave. Today is Armed Forces day in the UK many of our troops will be parading through local towns and villages. The Government and police has asked us to be more vigilant and they have increased security. Do not stay away, make this a demonstration of our determination not to be terrorised. We are better, braver, and stronger than they are. We do not need to drop bombs on them to prove it. Stand and cheer. ## DON’T LET THEM WIN Mourn the dead, care for the physically and mentally wounded. Support our neighbours whether next door or in spirit on another continent I read this morning of at least one couple who are staying in Tunisia. We should all support that country now and carry on booking holidays. The terrorists want us to withdraw to collapse the government. If we stop going, they will have won. It is the same tactic used in Egypt. Destroying tourism create economic chaos so that they can move in. ## DON’T LET THEM WIN **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** African Union, Armed Forces Day, france, Kuwait, Somalia, terrorism, Tunisia --- ### [Migrants and Refugees](https://phenweb.co.uk/migrants-and-refugees/) **Published:** September 5, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Migrants and refugees was written in September 2015 It seems ages since I wrote a blog. Work and *proper* writing interfering with Internet broadcasting. As it is all over the news I thought I would add my views on the current crisis impacting Europe. Refugees and migrants are attempting to escape their own countries and find a hoped for better or safer life in Europe. The European politicians of all persuasions struggle to come up with a suitable soundbite that can demonstrate a caring attitude whilst maintaining their pre-held opinions. The UK is held up as either not doing enough or doing far too much, whilst facts are mangled and as usual the politicians throw as much mud as possible. There are multiple aspects to this. First some of my definitions: - Migrant – an immigrant or transitory person for whatever reason - Refugee – someone escaping persecution or seeking safety – can be internal to a nation as many in Syria already are - Asylum seeker – Someone who claims that there is a fear of persecution or worse in their own country and thus seeks asylum – but can also be some person hiding out in the Ecuadorian Embassy. - Economic migrant – someone seeking a better life for themselves – in and out of UK The humanitarian urge to do what we can, evidenced in Hungarian people doling out food and water to walking migrants (most may well be refugees), is only one aspect. There needs to be a practical assessment of what can be done realistically. For example Turkey is host to 2 million Syrian refugees escaping the civil war of which ISL or Dash is only one element http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/country.php?id=224 So let’s try and stick to facts – the UK net population increase (official government 2013 figures) due to migration was 300,000. The vast majority of these 200,000 were from the EU. These are either family and friends of existing residents or economic migrants searching for work in a growing economy. These are all legal migrants as no one has accurate figures on illegal migrants i.e. persons form outside the EU. The remainder are those that have temporary or permanent rights to stay e.g. students or key workers. We then have asylum seekers, some key points from ## Key points - Asylum applications (excluding dependents) rose from 4,256 in 1987 to a peak of 84,130 in 2002. They stood at 24,914 in 2014. [More…](http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migration-uk-asylum#kp1) - Asylum applicants and their dependents comprised an estimated 8% of net migration in 2013, down from 49% in 2002 but up from 4% in 2010. [More…](http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migration-uk-asylum#kp2) - In 2014, 59% of asylum applications were initially refused. A majority of refused applicants lodge appeals. In 2014, 28% of appeals were allowed. [More…](http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migration-uk-asylum#kp3) - Men made up nearly 3 out of 4 (73%) main applicants for asylum in 2014. [More…](http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migration-uk-asylum#kp4) - In 2014, the UK received 5% of asylum claims made in EU countries (plus Norway and Switzerland), making it the sixth highest recipient of asylum claims. [More…](http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migration-uk-asylum#kp5) The latest estimated migration figure for 2014 is 330,000 of which the asylum seekers make up approx 25,000 so 7.5% I heard Kent Council state on the radio that the numbers of migrant unaccompanied children under 14 had gone from an average of 240 per year to 720 last year all of whom needed initially foster parents, schooling and support. A huge increase in workload At the same time we have an alleged housing crisis with organisations like Shelter claiming we need to build 250,000 new homes per year just to keep pace with current population growth http://www.thehomesweneed.org.uk/ The UK’s population is now also growing for many complex reasons see the [ONS statistics here](http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/pop-estimate/population-estimates-for-uk--england-and-wales--scotland-and-northern-ireland/mid-2014/mid-year-population-estimates-for-the-uk-2014.html) but this adds a further 200,000 or so on top of the migration impact. Therefore, we are adding a city population the approximate size of Sheffield to our overall population every year. On the BBC this morning it was explained that during the 1956 Hungarian uprising the UK took over 40,000 refugees. This has also been discussed as one of the tens of thousands estimates and comparisons for asylum to be offered. Note on 7 Sep the UK Prime Minister announced the number is 20,000 In terms of the overall net migration and population increase, numbers this would be a further 10% increase. The problem for the UK and many other countries is not the humanitarian support. We have the money and the food and water. We are after all a rich nation in GDP terms. It is the very practical question of where they are going to live, go to school, get health care. We do not have many large old military bases sitting empty but they can help. Do we want tented villages near ports of entry? Where in the UK will they go. How will they be transported there? For all the claims that we must do something we need to have answers first. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** asylum, BBC, crisis, migrant, ONS, Philip G Henley, publish, Publishing, refugee, syria, UNHCR, Writing --- ### [Mischief for Scotland Join My Petition](https://phenweb.co.uk/mischief-for-scotland-join-my-petition/) **Published:** September 19, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** ## *Although written in 2015 Mischief for Scotland is as relevant now in 2021* It is a year after the Scottish Referendum with a result with a clear majority in favour of staying in the UK. This was supposed to be a once in a generation decision, and the SNP leadership agreed that it was. Still if you don’t like the result you can always change your mind. Perfect EU principle as Ireland discovered. It is only four months after the UK’s general election result. Despite this, we still have the SNP calling for another referendum or how the UK government has no democratic mandate to rule in Scotland. This is because 56 of the 58 regional MPs are from SNP. This opinion carefully ignores the views of the other 594 MPs representing other areas of the UK and in particular claiming that the 331 Conservative Party MPs have no democratic mandate to rule in the UK. Full result [here.](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results) I make that a democratic majority just in the Conservative party without taking into consideration the views of other parties on the subject of the Union. I am unclear what the new Labour leadership believe. Although I believe that the United Kingdom is better together, that does not mean I am not heartily sick of hearing the SNP moaning about how badly treated Scotland is. Still it keeps the public’s eyes away from their actual record as the governing party of Scotland, with the current devolved powers of the Scottish Parliament. How about a few questions about that BBC and the rest of the media. So in the spirit of helping the SNP out, I want to start a petition, not for them to have a referendum, but to be **expelled from the Union**. This should be a much faster process and for once, the rest of the United Kingdom might get a say in the matter. You can sign up via the UK Governments petition web site. Click this link to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/108874/sponsors/MJjAp4IjbnqBhJ1kg8 My petition: **Expel Scotland from the United Kingdom** There are only 56 MPs from the SNP, but they believe the rest of the 650 should carry out their wishes, whatever the consequences for the rest of the UK or what the UK voted for in May this year. The SNP continues to press for an new referendum on membership of the UK. The Scottish people voted less than 12 months ago to stay; however, the remainder of the UK has had no say. If Scotland continues to ignore the democratic wishes of the rest of the UK it should be expelled. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Labour, MP, MSP, Online Writing, Parliament, Philip G Henley, publish, Publishing, referendum, Scotland, SNP, The Conservatives, UK, Union, United Kingdom, Writing --- ### [A Tinfoil Hat - Data Protection and Security](https://phenweb.co.uk/a-tinfoil-hat-data-protection-and-security/) **Published:** October 17, 2015 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** For those of you that know me in my regular life, you will recall I can get a bee in my bonnet about data protection. Partly this is due to my previous professional roles and responsibilities. A frequent comment is that tinfoil hats are needed, as if my concerns and others are exaggerated. Using the Internet, and any part of modern society means that your personal data is not personal or private, it belongs to big corporations and government agencies. I do not believe that governments will deliberately misuse the data. That is the way of conspiracies and tinfoil hats. The scope though for data loss, data selling to third parties, (who will misuse it) and data errors will grow. Then, there are the criminal risks. If the security services need a backdoor through encryption, then that back door exists for anyone that can find it. Ashley Madison anyone, to name one hacking case. This also goes to some of my more reclusive tendencies. Reclusive? I hear you exclaim, a sometimes writer with a twitter feed, email, Facebook page as well as this blog. However, when it comes to data, this tendency can become overactive. I do not have a personal Facebook page, and my on-line activities are covered by occasional blogs and comments on Goodreads. I have author profiles on Amazon and other sites, I have a Linked-In profile but my other personal details do not appear. I do not share my birthday or medical details on-line and I would prefer it if the companies I interact with did not either. Nor, my financial details, spending patterns or other marketing led data. But we are in the era of big data. Having worked for one of the big credit reference agencies, I am aware of just how much data is known about me. More interesting, is the analysis applied to that data to be sold to other companies, which then results in marketing. I recently received a mail shot from a marketing company offering me contact details on 5 million company directors. My details are probably in that list. How did they get that data (It might not be accurate of course,) but how? I did not give anyone permission to give my data to this company. But of course I probably did when I forgot to tick or un-tick a box on another web site opting in or out. Of course, I could have just wanted to run something, and hidden in the EULA was an explicit clause along the lines of “We may use your data with selected third parties, if you do not wish this to happen etc….” To use the product you have to agree. Next thing you are offered US Car loan deals in Wisconsin – I kid you not. Not helpful in rural England not New England – the original. Why is this relevant? Well last week saw the [European Court of Justice (ECJ) ](https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/institutions-bodies/court-justice_en)rule that one of the data safeguards used by many companies, including Facebook and many cloud providers, the so called Safe Harbor (US Spelling) rules, were not worth the paper they are written on. Under that scheme the European rules on data protection are upheld in the USA where most cloud providers and social media companies reside. This comes not just on the back of the Eric Snowden revelations about security service activities but also due to the USA’s Patriot Act. Under the act, American companies are effectively obliged to hand over all data. Then, there is the ongoing dispute involving Microsoft being asked to hand over data by the FBI held in an Irish data centre via a court order in a US Court without going through the existing legal agreements with the Irish authorities. For cloud providers including WordPress what does this mean. In legal terms, it means that no European citizen or company can handover data to a US company and know that the data is legally protected from misuse i.e. selling on or using for a purpose other than which it was provided. Something that US companies do not seem to understand. The [UK’s Information Commissioner Office (ICO)](https://ico.org.uk/) provides a very simple set of principles for managing data which meets European requirements but they too have been relying on Safe Harbor and other contractual protections called Model Clauses when data is processed outside the EU. The EU and the USA are negotiating new data protection rules, but the bottom line for all of us is that if you use any cloud based provider that has any connection to a US company for any corporate or personal activity, you cannot expect *any* privacy. You cannot expect that any of your data will not end up in the hands of the US authorities, or sold on at the whim of a company. Expect more spam, and more targeted marketing built on analysis of everything from your inside leg measurement to who you discussed fashion with on a social media outlet. The terms of service issued by the providers with all their associated privacy policies are worthless, and overridden by the activities of the US agencies and corporations. A tin foil hat won’t help.

I am supposed to write regularly and hopefully providing articles and comments of interest. All instead of just spouting updates on the progress, or lack of it, on my books. The idea is to write other stuff which will attract interest form a broad readership. In turn this will lead to readers investigating this site and then hopefully clicking on a book description and consequently purchasing one of my offerings. Notice no links or embedded spam – is this a new approach? No, it just seems to have no impact so I’m trying a bit of reverse psychology. The statistics from this site tell me about click through traffic and pages read. Since my last post advertising my latest release and associated discount on the first part of the series, I have started several blogs but time and my own interest stopped a post going out. I was going to comment on the Google tax deal and Apples quarterly sales in a hopefully witty way. Googles amount of tax paid to HMRC and the city’s reaction to Apple’s *disappointing* revenue and profits. If only more of the UK’s home industries had such *disappointing* results. Then there was the humour in watching the UK’s Labour Party trying to explain how we would still have a nuclear deterrent if we let our submarines sale without nuclear weapons. For real entertainment, we can all enjoy the US Presidential Election Candidate Selection Process. This seems to consist of a group of people from all parties who demonstrate their unsuitability at every occasion. Only another 9 months till the election. This is on the UK news almost as much as the other big story, namely the UK’s referendum. As of this morning, 20th Feb, the UK apparently has a new deal agreed by the other member states. Does this indicate the sunset of the UK’s EU Membership or a positive renewal of our commitment. This is being described as meeting Cameron’s (the UK’s current Prime Minister) objectives and thus allowing him to campaign for a yes vote in what will probably now be a June referendum. I stated current as if he loses the referendum he may have to resign. The yes vote is to stay in the European Union based on the changes agreed. At the moment the polls (Remember them in the last UK election) seem to provide a very mixed response. The Daily Telegraph had 51.5% in against 48.5% out. YouGov with The Times this morning has 45% leave against 36% stay. As with the 2015 election – more guess work. ![EU 28](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/flags_of_european_union-300x300.gif) One annoying point that the scaremongers report, is how the UK would be suddenly isolated outside the EU. The UK would still be one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. It would still be in NATO, World Health Organisation the IMF etc. It would still have too numerous to mention direct treaties with nation states including other EU members e.g. The Lancaster House Treaties between UK and France signed in 2010. It would still be a part of other pan-European organisations and legal processes. It would still be the 6th largest economy in the World. The sun will still rise in the East and set in the West. It will still rain – often. For those scaremongering the other way, the same applies. The Common Market has changed out of all recognition. Some of this is good, some of this is done badly. The horrible farce that is the current migrant crisis and the never ending Euro crisis ( no it has not gone away, Greece was requesting more concessions as a condition fro backing the UK’s negotiation only this week) are caused by EU treaty and process failure. The EU like any organisation can be reformed from inside i.e. stay in and fix it. Some of the reforms the UK has asked for other member states want as well, they would not have agreed otherwise. I must be honest – I am on the fence. The previous European referendum was on staying in what was then called the European Economic Community (EEC). The UK had actually joined The Common Market without a referendum and has not held a referendum since despite the vastly different environment that the EU now represents. I was too young to vote then. England, Wales and Northern Ireland were not asked about Scotland staying in the UK in 2014. The only referendum I have voted in was one on Alternate Voting, in 2011, where only 42% of people could be bothered to vote at all. The Alternate Voting and the EEC remain the only UK wide referendums ever held in the UK. Yes the *mother* of Parliaments, the cradle of modern democracy, has only bothered to consult the voters twice. The first of these was after the fact. If it takes place in June, the planned referendum will be held before any legal treaty changes are made and before the European Parliament votes to accept the changes. It remains unclear what happens if the European Parliament rejects the changes agreed by the European Council (Heads of Government) or the Treaty Changes are not made. Many of partners in the European Union (Ireland, Netherlands etc) require their own referendums to approve treaties. Previous changes have not had a smooth ride through this process. The European Constitution vote or Lisbon Treaty is a good example. The [first referendum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-eighth_Amendment_of_the_Constitution_Bill,_2008_%28Ireland%29 "Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 2008 (Ireland)") on the Treaty of Lisbon held in 2008 was rejected by the Irish voters. A second referendum followed in 2009 where it was accepted. The UK was going to have a referendum but this was postponed after France and Holland rejected it. The Treaty was then changed. Others voted but the then UK Government signed it albeit after various concessions were created. The Lisbon Treaty also states the explicit legal right to [leave the EU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_from_the_European_Union "Withdrawal from the European Union") and a procedure to do so. If the UK votes no in June, we will all get to see whether this procedure works, but don’t be surprised if there is not another round of negotiations and another referendum. By the time the US elects it’s next President or even has the agreed party candidates the UK could be in the middle of a very major change. I might even get around to writing another book! ### **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Apple, book, books, Common Market, David Cameron, E-book, Editing, EEC, EU, france, Google+, Holland, IMF, independent Scotland, Ireland, Lancaster House Treaty, Lisbon Treaty, Netherlands, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, publish, Publishing, referendum, Security Council, The Daily Telegraph, The Euopean Council, The European Parliament, The Times, UN, US Presidential Election, Writing, YouGov --- ### [In, Out or Shake It All About](https://phenweb.co.uk/in-out-or-shake-it-all-about/) **Published:** February 27, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** In, out or shake it all about was written before the referendum on Brexit I did not think I would return so quickly to the UK’s in out referendum as a blog topic but here I am. Once again I am heartily sick of this misinformation that is allowed to run across our media outlets without proper questioning. This week much has been made of the legal status of the agreement with the Council of Europe and whether it is binding. Bottom line on this, in my view, is that the agreement is binding in intent but only becomes formalised after treaty change. As I explained in my previous post, this will require referendums in several other countries. If rejected by the constitutional process in those countries then what? There continues to be a lack of clarity on many areas of our relationship with the EU regardless of the agreement negotiated. The in/out decision is really about this for most out campaigners. Regardless of the renegotiation details which appear almost to be a side show. I’ll focus on three elements Finance, Security, Rights and Trade. ## Finance The UK’s is the 4th largest contributor but the 2nd largest net contributor behind Germany. This net contribution is effectively a membership fee and that contribution is used by the EU organisations to subsidise and support other EU nations of which Poland, in 2013, was the largest recipient. In other words it is overseas aid for the EU. This *fee* in 2015 was £9 billion based on £18b contribution, £5b rebate (Mrs T) and £4b in farming via Common Agricultural. As a comparison the UK currently pays £43b per year in interest on its National debt of £1.6 Trillion. The UK is the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world depending on which source you site. G7 membership, G20 membership IMF etc are not dependent on EU membership. ## Security The In campaigners claim we are safer inside the EU. The Out disagree. So facts: Under Article 51 of the UN charter all nation states have the right to self defence. The UK is a permanent member of the UN Security Council – one of five. Under Article 51 NATO operates its collective defence policy of an attack against one is an attack against all. NATO is the same size as the EU in terms of members, but they do not align. Several EU countries are Neutral (Austria, Finland and Sweden. You can add Ireland based on non-belligerency) therefore they cannot help with that type of security. Of course the USA and Canada are not in the EU but help with security. In/Out this does not change. Security has other forms. The UK is one of the so-called 5-eyes which share intelligence information this is (CIA, MI5, MI6 , NSA, GCHQ etc with Australia, New Zealand ,Canada and the USA). No other member of the EU is; therefore, there is intelligence information that the UK does not share with those countries. There are separate agreements with some countries (France, Germany, Netherlands etc) and NATO shares some. So much for the contribution to the EU security. [Europol ](https://www.europol.europa.eu/content/page/about-europol-17)is put forward as a good example of EU security. Norway is mentioned as European, non-EU member that shares information. What is Europol? It has 800 members of staff of which 145 are liaison officers from member police forces. Under 5-eyes MI5 which along with the Met Police has Counter-Terrorism responsibilities, can’t share info with Europol. In fact much activity in 5-eyes is spent spying on our EU partners. Mrs Merkel’s phone for example. Do we really believe that Europol cooperation would stop if the UK left, or would a Norway arrangement be made. Then there is [Interpol](http://www.interpol.int/About-INTERPOL/Overview) which is in 190 countries with many of the same aims as Europol. We would still be a member of that. ## Rights We are protected by the UN, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. Both predate and are separate from the EU. The European Court of Human Rights is not an EU institution, nor is the War Crimes unit, nor the International Court. The EU does have the CJEU or the European Court of Justice which arbitrates on EU law i.e. the rights and wrongs under the treaty. This was the argument on legality disputed by the two sides this week. In effect they are both right. The CJEU could over turn but it has never done so. So, it will not, or might not, but could. Some rights I believe the EU has done a much better job on then the UK authorities. Data protection is one are where the UK’s Information Commissioner has been an abject failure primarily due to the powers granted to the ICO. The EU has been much stronger striking down the pathetic Safe Harbor agreement with the USA as offering no protection. Whether the UK alone would stand up to the USA in these matters is doubtful, given 5-eyes its unlikely. This might mean that in event of an exit the EU may not be able to exchange data with the UK. That will be a major impediment to trade so would need to be addressed. In this case EU protection offers more than just UK. ## Trade Following the letter from several major companies promoting stay in the airwaves and print were full of disagreements on what exit might mean. I return to World Trade Organisation, G7, G20 and other agreements. Based on import export the EU needs us in a free trade area more than we need them especially as the EFTA agreements have not fully supported the trade in services. BMW and Audi will not want to lose access to the market. Any hint of trade tariffs or protectionism would just escalate on both sides. The actions of the Eurozone will make this more and more difficult for those members # In or Out I still don’t know but I want to see much stronger reasons for staying in then I have seen so far. The new agreement does not change that as I cannot see anything fundamental changing. Removing *ever closer union* from a treaty (if approved) means nothing when the Eurozone is doing just that and has to do that to make the Euro work. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Australia, Austria, Canada, CIA, CJEU, Council of Europe, ECHR, EU, Europol, Finland, Five-Eyes, france, GCHQ, Germany, IMF, Interpol, Ireland, MI5, MI6, NATO, Netherlands, NSA, Philip G Henley, referendum, Sweden, UK, UN, UNHCR, USA, Writing, WTO --- ### [Panama and Voting](https://phenweb.co.uk/panama-and-voting/) **Published:** April 9, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Hot news, apparently, dictators, the super rich, corrupt politicians and criminals try to hide their ill gotten gains. Add to this list the moderately rich and various investments funds try to to avoid paying as much tax as possible. This is ***news?*** In the spirit of openness I too have investments in offshore funds. It’s called my pension. I can’t confirm that I don’t own shares in Panama registered companies. Don’t look shocked, I have heard lots of people say that recently. Why can’t I confirm? Investment funds. The pension company offers multiple funds in which I can buy units. Some of these funds trade in oversea shares. Frankly I have no idea if any of these units are linked to operations in Panama, The Cayman Islands, Belize and many other tax efficient locations. Just because I am several steps removed from the investment and income does not mean I do not want a good return on the deal. I want interest and investment gain too. Of course I will have to pay tax on the income just like I already do on my salary, savings’ interest and directly invested share dividends. By the way every single person in this country that has an ISA is trying to *avoid* tax. Every investment in a personal pension avoids more tax. Every claim of business expenses is another bit of tax avoidance, why do you think your employer wants a VAT receipt? A little less hypocrisy please. I think we all knew that bad people do bad things. The 11 million Panama sourced documents just confirmed this *knowledge*. It used to be the notorious Swiss bank account. The use of shell companies and hidden investment funds should also be no surprise. If anyone has watched [The Big Short](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short_%28film%29) or read any of the extensive reviews of the financial crash, the rich bankers were peddling AAA rated investment funds as if they were solid gold. In reality they were derivatives bundled with other derivatives sold into other funds. Your pension fund may well have invested in these funds. This was probably criminal behaviour, although precious few have gone to jail, whereas *avoiding tax* may be morally questionable but it is not illegal. Those few of you who have been kind enough to buy my book, [The Persuasive Man](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/the-persuasive-man/), know that I have included a lot of financial wheeling and dealing in that fictional account. Fictional yes, but based on several financial stories and some personal experience. Avoiding tax is a national pastime. Ask a tradesman if he’ll do the job for cash and you contribute to tax *evasion* which is illegal. Of course morally we are happy to have got a deal. We, the purchaser, have not done anything wrong. It is not our responsibility to declare the income, but are we a co-conspirator? Directly in the UK, the Prime Minister has been dragged into the mess as the documents showed that David Cameron and his spouse had shares in an investment fund set up by his father. As usual with political scandals it’s not the actual thing that’s the problem, it is the cover up or the failure to come clean. Then of course we have the reporters dramatically trying to turn a drama into a crisis The BBC were interviewing voters in Bedfordshire about whether they have changed their opinion of the Prime Minister, then came the most ridiculous question. *Will you vote for him?* Last time I checked, Cameron’s constituency was Whitney in Oxfordshire not Dunstable in South Bedfordshire; so how exactly were these voter going to vote for him? He has also said he will not stand at the next election. Therefore, no one is going to be able to vote for him. You can vote in May local elections. In June you can vote for the EU referendum. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their respective Parliament and Assembly elections, (English Democratic deficit anyone?) but except for by-elections no UK MP will get elected until 2020. It’s like asking the vox pop interviewee, the archetypical man on the street if they would vote for Trump – had to get him in somewhere – irrelevant and just bad journalism. With 11 million documents to sift through who knows which name will turn up next. Of course Cameron has got himself in this mess for not being open and forthright at the start of the week, not for what he has actually done with a relatively small amount. Yes, I know £30,000 is a lot of money to most of us, but compared to the billions hiding in Panama shell companies, it’s not really. By the way as the shares were co-owned by him and his spouse that’s £15k each. Capital gains are only due on the element above the yearly allowance depending on how long the investment had been held. Income from the fund should have been declared each year on the individual tax return. So a £30k fund on a very good year may have paid out 10 percent per annum so £1.5k per year each at 40 percent tax is £600. Not exactly a new duck pond. The selling story is already 6 years old. Jeremy Corbyn the Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition is making political hay out of the alleged scandal but is it just me? Not many Labour MPs are making a song and dance about this nor Liberals. Even the Scottish Nationalists are being relatively quiet. Have I missed something? We can add UEFA and FIFA to the list of those being embedded in the scandal, Iceland has already lost its Prime Minister. It seems this leak even makes other news disappear although the press are desperately trying to link the revelations to the EU in/out referendum. After all we need something to make that more interesting. Meanwhile 1.5 million migrants/asylum seekers/immigrants/terrorists (delete as applicable) have tried to enter the EU and the new deal with Turkey has allowed 200 to be returned to Turkey. Perhaps we are missing the scale of the problem and not addressing the priorities. Mr Putin (be respectful) seems to be connected to Panama via some friends who seem to have a lot of state money. What about EU funds? Are there no documents connecting EU officials. Of course we have the overseas aid budget from the EU and the UK which have often been suspected of ending up in odd bank accounts. No news there then. Back to the scale of the financial misconduct, what efforts are actually being made to get the money. Has the Panamanian Ambassador been called in, have any executives of the legal company been arrested, is anyone going to be charged with anything? Is any money going to be returned? More likely it will all disappear, ***the money and the story***. Perhaps a sequel is needed but would anybody buy it? Perhaps I should set it up as an offshore investment fund opportunity? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** avoid tax, Belize, Capital Gains, corruption, David Cameron, Donald Trump, Dunstable, EU, evade tax, FIFA, Iceland, ISA, Jeremy Corbyn, Labour, Liberal Democrats, MP, Panama, Putin, referendum, Shares, SNP, The Big Short, The Cayman Islands, The Persuasive Man, UEFA, voting, Whitney --- ### [Music and Musing - OK, The EU Referendum As Well](https://phenweb.co.uk/music-and-musing-ok-the-eu-referendum-as-well/) **Published:** June 4, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** My first creative writing outside school work was actually music lyrics. The words were my first artistic adventures and continued for many years. The few [poems ](https://phenweb.co.uk/poems/)on this site are really lyrics for various songs that I have written over the years. Music still inspires me and has the power to move me like no other art form. I like to think I have a wide taste in genres from classical (including some opera) through to modern pop, although rap is a real effort whilst appreciating the skill of the lyricist. I appreciate art, as in painting and sculpture, in the same way, but I do not find it moves me in the same way as music, likewise theatre. I did write a short story, [Landscape](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/landscape/), with art as the background attempting to convey my love of some paintings. Musical theatre does have that impact, whereas opera tends to get lost for me except the odd aria. Probably the language barrier but also the variations in the notes – a complaint I have with much Jazz. The language barrier (not necessarily the artistic barrier – ignore the Eurovision song contest) of course applies to our European colleagues, the focus of much of the debate in the referendum. There is not just a language barrier but also a cultural and legal one. Many European countries have a legal system based on Roman/Napoleonic basis, (France and other codified legal systems) or are federated states (UK has devolved power to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but not England) as opposed to common law based on precedent with juries. The EU is codified leading I believe, to many of the clashes we have seen with the [ECJ](https://europa.eu/european-union/about-eu/institutions-bodies/court-justice_en) and the slow but creeping codification of the UK’s laws driven from the EU – a background driver for the sovereignty debate i.e. where UK precedent can be overruled by a codified European Court causing a codified change to UK law. I remain undecided. I have written before about my concern with population growth. This issue is mixed up with immigration, asylum and the crisis facing the world (not just the EU) The increase in the world’s population is staggering ![Population](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/populationgrowthhistory2-1-300x191.jpg)World populationAs is the UK’s from Migration watch but using ONS numbers ![UK Pop](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/bp9_31_chart-1-300x235.png)UK population Migration WatchThe future projections which are based on net migration levels plus the impact of the new population having children must be addressed. Regardless of what happens in the referendum, and associated immigration policy, the increases of the last ten years will have a major impact on schools, housing, healthcare, etc. for generations. More cars, more use of public transport, and it takes years to get infrastructure in place to cope from London airport runways to sewer mains. I grew up at a time when the net birth rate was thought to be falling below 2, i.e. population decline. This has now reversed and we have added a massive increase in life expectancy which impacts the same things plus pensions but with a disproportionate impact on health and social care. As with many undecided I am annoyed with the quality and tone of the debate making it very hard to decipher fact from fiction or forecasts or the real risks in either choice. The **In** campaigners fail to talk about the impact of ever closer union (yes UK may have an opt out) when EU policy is pursued. Especially the efforts of Eurozone countries to support the currency. We will be outside (we already are) that decision process. i.e. if EU funds are used to support an in-crisis Eurozone country ahead of a non Eurozone country purely to help stabilise the Eurozone and prevent another crisis. I have just returned from Greece – that crisis has not gone away. The impact on the UK and the financial systems is there regardless of membership status. Outside the Eurozone the UK has zero ability to influence policy in or out. The only way we could would be to stay in and join the Euro! That is something that has been ruled out by most euro campaigners, which seems illogical if we really want to be at the table and have a say on the future of the EU. The **Out** campaigners fail to address the risk and the economic forecasts, ignoring many supposedly qualified commentators. Albeit, being lectured by American bankers (Merrill Lynch) and other big businesses does not go down well. Of course economic forecasters are well known for their accuracy; from the IMF to the Treasury we can clearly believe everything they say. Growth rates, employment rates, financial products. That is sarcasm by the way, in case anyone thought that I think economic forecasting has a better success rate than weather forecasting beyond the next 24 hours. The pleas from foreign leaders feel forced and in some cases (USA) hypocritical. Of course the USA wants the UK in the EU. It means there is some check from the UK on various EU proposals on trade, data and competition so that USA interests are protected. For EU leaders, if you are so desperate for the UK to remain, Mrs Merkel, why did you not offer a better reform package to the UK when Cameron was running around Europe before the referendum was announced? Actually, why haven’t you reformed the EU thus making the changes needed before a referendum was called? I cannot abstain. I believe in voting, there should be more of it. I just do not know what is the best decision, for me, my family, the generations to come and my country. I do believe that the EU would be a worse institution without the UK in it but would the UK be worse? I do not just mean economically, but worse in a generic sense. Would the UK be a worse place to live or better? If someone can give me a clear answer to that and address the population growth issue (not just the immigration issue) I would be grateful. Whatever the outcome of the vote, I can still write words and occasionally music. The paintings will remain in the galleries. Life will go on. The world will not stop and the 6.5 billion people who live outside the EU (with or without the UK) will continue to have their lives. The population will continue to increase, and the poor and scared will desperately seek a better life wherever that may be. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** art, Brexit, Camron, Common Law, ECJ, EU, Euro, Eurovision, Eurozone, financial crisis, financial forecast, greece, health care. social care, immigration, In campaign, Landscape, Merkel, merrill lynch, Music, Napoleonic Law, out campaign, Parliament, Pensions, Philip G Henley, population, referendum, Theatre, weather forecast, Writing --- ### [Brexit and Democracy](https://phenweb.co.uk/brexit-and-democracy/) **Published:** July 2, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** I have managed to not blog on the EU Referendum result or the lead up to it for a couple of weeks. The Brexit and Democracy issue remains. I remained undecided until I walked into the voting booth. I was as amazed as anyone else when the result went through. Even more amazed by the reaction of some remain supporters. Yes, there were some foolish potentially racist comments posted in the aftermath although I was not aware Polish was a race, nor Muslim. Accusing leave voters of being racists, Nazis, stupid, working class idiots also does not hold good for democracy either. Scotland’s histrionics just add to the noise. Clearly the SNP does not understand what democracy is. Scotland voted to stay in the UK, the UK voted to leave. To claim that the Scottish referendum would have been different if the EU result was known is a great way of re-writing history or wishful thinking. It’s not as if the Conservative Party’s promise to hold an EU referendum was a secret. Perhaps instead of blaming England the SNP leadership had spent more time in England convincing English voters to Remain the result might have been different; but that’s a lot of votes (1.3m) to change. Isn’t democracy an awful form of government except all the others, to misquote Churchill I think. Could someone please give Donald Tursk and Claude Junker a lesson in how democracy really works. Again, perhaps if they had spent time trying to persuade the UK how great the EU was rather than trying to scare the living daylights out of the electorate the result might have been different. Same for Merkel, Allande etc. The argument on young people wanting to remain is also difficult to substantiate. Given information is opinion poll based i.e. a good guess, it appears that 65% of the so called 18-24 year old surveyed could not be bothered to vote. Then again 28% of the electorate did not bother either. Compulsory voting anyone? Yes, I can also calculate that 52% of 72% of the 39.5m voting population of 65m UK (and Gibraltar) total population is not a majority but neither is 48% of the same numbers. The rules were passed in Parliament. Did you campaign for any decision to require 66.6% majority to change or a 75% turnout. Are you aggrieved that a Scottish golf course voted to keep women out because it also had a two-thirds majority rule. Should we have a two thirds for a new referendum on staying in to reverse this advisory decision? How about two thirds for Scotland to leave UK? I don;t mind but don’t try to change the rules afterwards. I personally think that the England football team should be given a two goal head start for every game and only blind players should be allowed in the opposition team. Unfortunately, those are not the rules. Perhaps I should approach FIFA to get them changed or cheer Iceland on. Anyway what is done is done, and that is democracy, however flawed – sorry BBC, parliamentarians and so on – so lets have some facts. Could have done with some of these in the debate. - The UK has not left the EU, the single market or anything else – yet. - It has carried out an advisory referendum which will require a formal notification to the EU Council of Ministers invoking Article 50. According to constitutional experts, to do this will require an Act of Parliament in the UK. No such Act has been added to the Bill list – yet. This is because the EU treaties are enshrined in UK law therefore to break them will require one or more different Acts of Parliament - It is for the UK to submit this notice not for the EU other heads of state, or the bureaucrats to demand it as soon as possible or any other time. By having meetings without the UK present you are acting as if it has happened when it has not. - The Prime Minister at least for the next few weeks remains David Cameron - The leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal opposition at at 2nd July 12:00 BST, remains Jeremy Corbyn - The Conservative Government still holds a majority of 12 in the House of Commons - George Osbourne is still The Chancellor – doom, gloom, disaster and inaccurate economic forecasts since 2010 - The UK is still one nation by treaty – and the UK does not consist of London Westminster bubble and Nicola Sturgeon trying to leave it. - The UK is still a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council - The UK is in, and is the 2nd largest contributor to NATO. Some members of the EU are not in that organisation – so much for helping security - The UK has the 5th or 6th largest economy in the World - The UK is also a key member of the IMF, WTO, WHO etc. - The UK has multiple separate treaties with many if not all EU members most of which pre-date the EU. The immigration treaty with France covering Channel Tunnel etc, is newer but it is not an EU treaty it still applies unless the UK or France wish to cancel it. We have treaties with lots of other countries to - London’s financial centre is still the biggest in the world and London is amazingly still in the UK - There are 27 other countries in the EU but 180 outside including some not insignificant countries like the USA, China, India etc. The EU has no trade agreement with these. It spent 7 years getting a minor agreement complete with Canada. The UK with Canada could probably agree one in 7 months. - The UK is the largest importer of German manufactured auto-mobiles and French Champagne – shall we tariff that? - Half of the UK’s net immigration is not from the EU and one of the candidates to be Prime Minister has been in charge of that for years. Net population growth remains the issue, not where the growth comes from. - In other news - Donald Trump might win the US presidency - Migrants are still dying off the coast of the EU - IS is still carrying out terrorist attacks - The Syrian civil war is going on – still - Wales are still in Euros (congrats and please advise England how to play football) - Its been raining – a lot – yes I know Wimbledon is on - We still pay tax – clearly global companies and the very rich are excluded from the comment – some of them in London finance – they might move - We will all die – sometime - The sun will rise in the East and set in the West By the way it was a secret ballot but I will confess to voting out the first and only time I have ever stated who I actually voted for. I am clearly a working class, racist idiot who does not understand anything. I have never voted for Boris as I am not a Londoner or in his constituency, nor can i or could I vote for Corbyn or Cameron as MPs. I could have joined the parties and voted for them but I have better things to do with my life. – like most of the population. Or maybe I think that the UK Parliament is sovereign for the UK, not 27 other countries who have different legal systems and cultures. I never got to vote to go in, nor did anyone else. I was too young to vote to stay-in, so this was my first ever opportunity to have a say – yours too unless you were over 18 in 1975 . No mainstream political party (ignoring UKIP) has offered this change at a General Election since Labour changed policy at the last referendum (Corbyn has as well despite being an out campaigner for decades). Is the sun out yet? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Brexit, EU Democracy --- ### [Evolution is Dead](https://phenweb.co.uk/evolution-is-dead/) **Published:** August 9, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Is Human Evolution dead as we know it? I have been posing this question to myself. No one else talks to me so I might as well. Has Human evolution stopped? If you are a creationist or other similar believer please stop reading now. The general scientific viewpoint is that the evolutionary process as described by Darwin and others is how all lifeforms on planet Earth (and anywhere else) evolved via genetic mutation based on survival of the fittest. To be blunt this means that only the strongest survive. In relatively modern times (given billions of year of Earth’s history) the study of this has had bad implications from Eugenics to the Nazi’s but have we as a species also caused our own problems. Many of you will be aware of the [Darwin Awards](http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/) which describes anecdotal or sometimes real incidents where Darwin fights back against stupidity of human beings but I would like to widen the discussion into two areas. Health and Safety and Dentistry. The medical arguments would only cause anger and allegations of discrimination whilst missing the point. ## Health and Safety An example from the Olympics at the weekend. The leading rider crashed in the women’s race the day after 2 of the leading men’s race riders had done a similar thing. This prompted all and sundry to complain about the safety of the course. No one mentioned that the riders should have ridden slower to ensure they got around the bend(s). Likewise at work we have become accustomed to the H&S rules dictating everything from ladder positioning to what height out seat should be. All of this is taken care of now and policed by a range of rules and legislation. Thus preventing a range of actions that would have killed off sections of the public who seem to have lost the ability to think for themselves. i.e. crossing roads by looking both ways not whilst reading your phone with headphones in/on. Instead build more barriers and post warnings not to do this. So the stupid idiots who lack common sense are maintained in the gene pool to reproduce and create more idiots who will then have to be protected from their own stupidity. Of course if our ancient ancestors had not played with fire we would not have developed the means to use it. Playing with a busy road may not be the best way of progressing the brainpower of our species, although car brake engineering has come on leaps and bounds. ## Dentistry Sexual attraction (and consequent mating) is based on physical attractiveness our use of dentistry to improve looks is now hiding genetic failure. If you genetically have bad teeth a trip to the dentist will help, but your future mate would not know what’s hiding in the genes or jeans. This Dentistry is denying Darwin. Of course dentistry also improves health due to lack of cleaning teeth but thus bad teeth genetically continue. Darwin reversed or blocked. The same is true of course of other medical advances. ## Countering My Own Argument Of course the keeping of genetic mutations which might otherwise die out also means that the genetic spectrum is wider thus potentially more scope for greater and more diverse development. Then there is the impact of gene splicing or other genetic manipulation either before birth or via stem cells/medical implant to remove certain diseases or hereditary illnesses. Who knows perhaps in 10,000 years we will all have perfect teeth at birth and live as long as we want. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Darwin, Darwin Awards, Dentistry, E-book, eugenics, Genetics, Health and Safety, nazi, olympics, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, publish, Writing --- ### [Re-Moaners and Trump'eters](https://phenweb.co.uk/re-moaners-and-trumpeters/) **Published:** October 15, 2016 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Re-Moaners and Trump’eters respective terms for Remain campaigners in Brexit and Donald J Trump supporters Another few weeks drift past and yet the same issues which seem to have been in the news all year, remain. The US never-ending election still has over 3 weeks to run and just when you think the behaviour and approach of both camps can’t get any worse, they manage to achieve it. If it’s not sexual abuse allegations, it’s more leaked emails. I pity the American voter. I thought our choice this side of the Atlantic was pretty bad, but the candidates there look appalling. I watched the [clip of Gary Johnson](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37312015) who is apparently also standing as a Libertarian Party candidate – I mean really? Over five years into a civil war in Syria and this man who wants to be President of the most powerful nation on earth, does not know what Aleppo is. At least Trump and Clinton have managed to answer some questions on the subject. It’s not unusual for foreign affairs (not the sexual kind) to play little part in a US election, but one might have expected that confrontations with Russia over Syria, Ukraine and Crimea, to have some impact. Likewise, relations with China over the Spratley Islands rather than ridiculous notions of simplistic arguments over manufacturing jobs in the US should have some policy. It remains completely unreported what either candidate’s plans for North Korea are. Better not ask Trump, but his rhetoric can’t be worse than the accusations from US Security services that NK was behind the Sony attack. What still amazes many commentators, is that Trump is still popular with large swathes of the US electorate despite all the gaffes. It demonstrates how unpopular Clinton is, but more importantly, how upset many American voters are with the established political class which Clinton embodies. Here we have some of the parallels with the UK EU debate, despite the referendum. Although there is an element of the moaning bad loser side in some of the pronouncements from what was the remain side, many did set out the risks to the economy an no-vote would bring. Several senior economists have stated that the currency changes that we have seen since end of June were a long overdue correction to Sterling’s position just exasperated by the vote for exit and on-going uncertainty of what that means. In the percentages shown everything is referred to the currency position post 23rd June, failing as usual to mention that Sterling’s value had risen significantly in the lead up to the vote. The Euro’s value over 5 years from [here](http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=EUR&view=5Y) shows a different story than the headlines might have you believe. On 19th Oct 2011 the exchange rate was 1.14 and it closed on 14th Oct 2016 at 1.11. In particular, the rise of the pound in 2015 and the lead up to the vote is dramatic. US Dollar to Sterling is a significant fall over the same period 1.57 to 1.21 and the comments on reserve currencies should be concerning, but at the same time interest rates have been signalled upwards in the US, and stay the same or lower in the UK. That does not help Sterling investors. By the way, Euro to US Dollar has gone down from 1.37 to 1.11 in the same time period. I have picked an arbitrary period but some of us can remember much better and worse Pound to Dollar rates. It reached a low of 1.05 in February 1985 after the ERM fiasco, and was as high as 2.11 in November 2007 as sub-prime crashed the dollar What do we learn from that brief history? Currencies fluctuate, sometimes by a lot, and thousands of traders around the world make money doing that. Final discussion for today is on Credit Rating Agencies and their comments. Yes the same folks that branded those sub-prime investment funds as AAA, are doing all their warnings on where the pound might go next. All the discussion is based on what the UK might do as if what might happen in the Euro, (How is Greece by the way and Italy, Portugal, Spain?) will have no impact. Remember Euro zone and other EU exports to the UK, exceed UK Exports to the EU – we both have a lot to lose if we are stupid and put in unnecessary tariffs. World trade will be damaged if Trump introduced tariffs to protect American jobs and cancels NAFTA. Likewise, what will be the impact on the dollar if Trump wins and implements that piece of rhetoric. Guess what the pound might go up or down or sideways. Can we moan about currency traders instead?

This is one of those long-standing and building rants that has turned what used to be a mildly irritating, but ultimately fulfilling activity, into a nightmare of tiredness and bureaucracy. As an example I will use my recent experience of travelling to the lovely country of Thailand for a holiday. For the purposes of this exercise I will also skip over the endless search through holiday company web sites for a suitable break meeting certain criteria although I am convinced that not one employee or web designer of these holiday sites has actually used the system for their own break. I could wax lyrically about the joys of on-line check in and seat allocation on Emirates but I want the blog to be shorter than the actual holiday. Suffice to say that as per holiday shopping sites someone needs to be hired who actually knows how ordinary people use the system. So I can change my seat allocated (no choice at booking) up to an unknown time before for a fee, undisclosed. At on-line check-in 48 hrs before the flight I can then change my seat (and accompanying passengers on same booking) to whatever seats are available, zero in my case, because no one else has tried to change this. The system may be an improvement on first come first served at the airport check-in desk but ease of use is not obvious. We then have the boarding pass fiasco. Email, printed out, phone display if security have not stolen your phone, or all three then on baggage drop off – where you effectively check-in anyway, we got new seats and boarding passes. But I’m jumping ahead. At this stage we have a holiday booked and have on-line checked in. Now we come to the great how do we get to the airport and what time do we go. Long-haul advice is 3 hours before. Presuming the M3 is not closed, (see way back) for the 18 months of roadworks, that have so far lasted 30 months and are still not finished. The airport, Heathrow is within driving distance, for taxi or car, we can set off. We live just over thirty miles from the airport so we had a taxi (cheaper than parking) or train – add 2 hrs plus need to get to train station.) ## Depart 1**8:00 Zulu or GMT** – Taxi arrives This arrived on time unlike last holiday. Due to the planets being aligned and a following wind it only took fifty minutes to travel the 30 miles despite 19 miles of 50 mph roadwork restrictions. I mean single lane roads have 60 why 50 in one way coned slightly narrower motorway with no one working – a regular occurrence which is why 18 month project has so far taken 30. Still at least motorway is open. **18:50 Z** – Arrive Heathrow Terminal 3. Baggage drop off is not open for our flight until 3 hrs before even though we are told to arrive 3 hours before! Still it’s only a few minutes to wait in the queue (line for Americans). We now have the check-in which is not a check-in but still checks passport and tickets. Get new boarding passes. Go through airport security – main reason we are told it takes hours and to arrive early. Under five minutes (blimey I thought I was dreaming but I can strip and get Kindle, iPad and phone out of bag and into trays pretty quickly) including removing every metallic object on me (except fillings) including shoes, wallet, change, belt. Alarm still goes off – go through body-scanner and hand swipe. Redress **19:20 Z** – Departure Hall What used to be a series of seats is now the Heathrow duty free shopping experience. Every price is more than it cost to get delivered from Amazon. What used to be good deals on booze and fags is now some Mecca to madness. We decide to get something to eat to wait the two hrs we have spare till boarding. Food ok drinks over-priced – so much for duty free. Sit around or browsing shops complaining about poor value for money. We can check Amazon whilst in shop as comparison. **21:25 Z** – Gate Go to gate – pass through gate but it’s not the gate – show passport and boarding cards. Go through to boarding lounge. Sit in gate waiting for boarding zone to be called. Emirates ground staff call zone. Ignored by passengers who all rush to board. Then thankfully they get told to wait till their zone is called but they still stand in way. Board plane show boarding pass again **22:00 Z** – Scheduled flight time Still boarding. Doors close 22:15 push back and take off at 22:30 **04:30 Z** – 08:30 Dubai or Delta time – Arrive Dubai Disembark – Transit passengers go through security. We’ve just come off a plane for xxxx sake! Repeat process of security at Heathrow but add in pat down by bored security guard. Wait 3 hrs – more non-shopping look at these bargains before repeat of boarding process/fiasco as before. Push back engine start almost on time. Sit on tarmac for 1hr due to air display for Dubai National Day. Clearly not heard of air traffic control **16:00 Z** – 23:00 Thailand or Gulf time – Arrive Thailand Phuket **18:30 Z** – Leave airport. Thai immigration – check passport – has 4 planes arrive yet puts only 3 immigration staff on but 3 supervisors who watch. 2 hrs in immigration queue. Get personal transfer car to resort. Pouring down with rain – this is supposed to be dry season! Stopped by Thai police who check our passports – again. **19:45 Z** – 02:30 Thailand Time – Arrive in hotel room Yes, we are on holiday! Fun, good food, lovely beaches, very nice people – not in immigration service. Half way through transfer hotels. ![Pool Sea](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/img_0107-768x1024.jpg) ![Sunset](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/p1030244-1-1024x768.jpg) ![Pool](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/img_0165-1-768x1024.jpg) ## Come Back On-line check-in – same problem with seats can’t print boarding passes over hotel Wi-Fi by pool. **22:00 Z** – 05:00 Day of departure Personal transfer pick up and leave for airport – told over one hour actual 45 mins on empty (except one street’s prostitutes) roads **22:45 Z** – 05:45 Check in Can’t as more than 3 hrs before but need to go through terminal baggage security first. Suitcases open for lots of passengers. Wife gets stuck other side as something in check-in baggage needs to be taken out, wait 15 minutes, seats allocated and baggage drop off by friendly staff. Security passport and boarding cards – clothes off, scanned clothes back on – not a lot of shopping, have coffee in 28c heat – lovely – do we have to leave? Wait till boarding same process / fiasco as before. Take-off 20 mins late **+ 6:30 hrs** – Arrive Dubai – as above, yes including passport and security check for transit – joys of internal train to different terminal. **+ 2:30 hrs** – Board for Heathrow As above, only more gates and called into first gate area by zone where we all then mix, then called by zone, again fighting past the passengers who ignore the 3 language announcement of which zone is boarding. Also not the one piece of hand luggage allowed. Instead carrying 2, carry-ons, plus large handbag, and large bag of shopping *bargains.* They want to board so they can steal all the overhead compartment space. Advice to airlines, get passengers to demonstrate overhead capability with carry-on luggage or just carried-on rather than wheeled across my feet weighing more than my checked-in bag Push back on time engine start, sit wait 20 minutes, move forward to gate and shut down – sick passenger has to be off loaded. One hour later push back and take off. **21:15 Z** – Land London Passport and Immigration – wife’s new passport does not get through electronic scan so have to wait for her as she re-queues for manual check. My bag in baggage hall – wait 30 mins for wife’s bag. Get into arrivals – where they filmed Love Actually scene – no taxi driver. – No message on phone. Call taxi firm get voicemail. Wait then note more drivers have arrived find taxi driver who has just got there. He grumpily leads way to car discussing on phone other job which continues in car. Does not appear to be regular taxi firm – outsourced? Set off – M3 closed for bridge works on project so have to take alternate route – I mean, all they have been doing is supposedly allowing the hard shoulder (as per M42) to be used as peak times. This has saved cost of adding proper lanes according to Highways Agency. Still great project if and when it gets finished. Whilst on holiday they have started to close motorway every night so that can work without traffic – progress – none visible **23:10 Z** – Arrive home – why did we go on holiday? Following day – what time is it why am I so tired do I have to go to work? **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Airlines, Check-in, dubai, Emirates, Heathrow, Holidat, immigration, London, Online Writing, Philip G Henley, Phuket, Thailand, Writing --- ### [One Morning In The Office Take 1](https://phenweb.co.uk/one-morning-in-the-office/) **Published:** February 24, 2017 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** One Morning In The Office – a satire Shamelessly carried over from a [Goodreads forum](https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18458920-one-morning-in-the-office---a-satire) but wanted a bit more visibility. ``` Ring ring ring "Please press 1 for current orders, two for new orders, three for accounts and four, for any other reason" "Rex, is this a new order, I thought we tried to order this last week."

Musing on Drugs, Brexit Divorce Bills, and elections has led me to this. Many of you will be thankful for the silence especially my own son who’s has managed to embed himself into a political party and start campaigning in the UK’s latest election. I’ll get to that in a moment first lets talk NHS and drugs! #### NHS In the never ending debate about NHS spending in the UK – read across to other countries – let’s get a fact out from http://www.nhshistory.net/parlymoney.pdf ``` In 1950/51 spending amounted to £11.7 billion in 2010/11 prices, or 3.5% of GDP. By 2010/11, spending had increased more than tenfold in real terms to reach £121bn, or 8.2% of GDP. Although it has risen consistently over the period, spending has accelerated in recent years. Between 1999/00 and 2009/10, real-terms expenditure rose by 92% ``` The Kings Fund has this for NHS in England in dismissing yet another politicians claim of how big an increase the NHS had received each year. The graph on the linked page shows increases, i.e. there has been a real terms increase in NHS spending in England since the 70s with 3 exceptions – so much for NHS cuts. The counter to that argument is that NHS costs have also increased ahead of regular inflation during this period and that is true in particular costs for new treatments i.e. drugs and they are treating more patients due to larger population size, but this is a pot % of a bigger pot as GDP has grown in the same period. There are within the numbers huge variations of what the money has been spent on – a new hospital, pay for cleaners, more doctors and nurses, radiographers, LGBT diagnosis, car parking executives, etc? But lets stick to Drugs. #### Drugs The drug market has recently been in the news with the perceived failure (in economic terms against improved life expectancy) of the UK’s National Cancer Fund. This was set up with the best intentions of funding nationally treatment that local health authorities could not afford. Thus transferring large amounts of money for very expensive drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies. Not surprisingly the results have not been as good collectively as everyone hoped. Some individuals have had very successful treatment, unfortunately most have not. This brings us to the bigger picture of drug companies, cures and such issues of the slow failure of antibiotics (due to over prescription and misuse). Drug companies are not investing in research to replace antibiotics because there is no money in it for them. There is no money in any drug that produces a cure. What drug companies want is a population that is kept well enough to earn a living thus to pay for drugs that do not cure but keep the customer well. There is no cure for diabetes just a lifetime of insulin injections, blood tests and monitoring. Vaccines cure or prevent treatment is designed not to cure. The only answer to this problem is to either persuade leopards to change spots i.e. drug companies to work for the interests of the patient rather than shareholders or Government to be socially responsible. I have quoted before one terrorism incident provokes millions of tax money spent. Thousands of antibiotic deaths and risks of death provokes barely a whisper. #### Brexit Just a brief word on Brexit divorce bill for my European colleagues. Yes there will be a cost for commitments beyond Brexit date. the liabilities, but there is also a share of assets. Therefore, I presume the UK will be paid its percentage share of buildings, systems, IPR, stored wine, butter, grain, computer systems etc. Of course it appears that the rest of the EU want the UK to pay maintenance for the rest of the EU countries lives, like a distraught spouse who wants to stay in the family house and not work for a living. #### UK Election Both the elements above are key UK election issues. I know my pleads will land on deaf ears (or blind readers) but can we have proper facts. If a cut is claimed (See NHS) above please have the Oxford English Dictionary refine what the word cut actually means. I thought after Trump alternative facts might go on the back seat but no such luck. To add to NHS lets look at Education The graph on that link shows a less than 1% reduction in Education spending as % of GDP between 2010 and 2015 since reversed and trending back upwards. This is in turn with a growing GDP i.e. higher % of higher total pot. Again internal inflation may reduce value of increase but it is not a ***cut***. Spending per pupil – another measure may be down overall but that is because we have far more pupils than before due to net population increase, thanks to birth rates, lower death rates and better health care. Immigration may also have an impact but where more children come from is less important than the fact that there are more children living longer – I have covered this before. Normally we talk about age and long life pushing the population numbers up but higher birth rates and lower infant mortality do the same then 70+ years later add to the aging population. Just one example not in my local area and not a hotbed of immigration (unlike London), Somerset County Council had an increase in pupil numbers of 0.8% just between 2014 and 2015. This amounted to 521 pupils i.e. a decent sized primary school capacity needed. Have you noticed all the new schools being built, and the sewage systems, the roads the hospitals the…. You get my drift I could also hope that people not actually standing in the election but in political parties might shut up for ten seconds so we can view the actual candidates – already a forlorn hope. Farage, Blair, Osbourne, Sturgeon I mean you. We then have the endless comments about voting for May, Crobyn, Farrow etc (other candidates are available) We do not have a presidency. For any one of these they first have to get elected by their area’s constituents. None of these people are standing where I live so I cannot vote for any of them. I can only vote for candidates standing in the area I am registered to vote. I continue to see commentators, media and the general public asked who they will vote for with the answer one of the leaders. All of these discussions are not in the the respective constituencies. Why is this question even asked? Once elected as an MP, then ,if they manage to be the current leader of the largest political party (or other grouping), in the UK’s parliament, you may be asked by the monarch to form a government. If the numbers do not add up (326 MPS) you may still be asked if with other partners you can form a government as happened from 2010-2015. Sorry regional governments that’s why you still have national elections not regional ones Ms Sturgeon please take note, if you want a say on UK politics please stand as an MP and be accountable to your constituents to the UK Parliament otherwise please stick to running the bits of Scotland devolved to the Scottish Parliament. This specifically does not include foreign affairs, defence, security etc. #### France Of course by the time the UK goes to its national poll (we have local elections before that) France will have a new President. On current polls (can we believe any of them?) the likely winner on 7th May will be Emmanuel Macron and not Marine Le Pen. Here unlike UK they are voting for an individual. The whole EU leadership seems to be behind Macron as he is seen as pro-EU and business. Of course I am certain that no EU funds have been used to support any of the candidates apart from the funding all candidates in France receive from the EU – what you did not know that the EU funds political parties? http://www.welcomeurope.com/european-funds/funding-of-political-parties-foundations-european-level-180+80.html#tab=onglet\_details #### It Almost Makes Sense In the UK there are major restrictions on funding of political parties, hence potential prosecutions over expenses in the 2015 election, meanwhile the EU funds all sorts of groups and clearly the UK currently pays (via its net contributions) for this. Perhaps this is the real reason the EU wants funding to continue post Brexit. All those political parties and institutions are dependent on it just like a drug company wanting unwell patients that are never cured.

Some of this is extracted from a [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18574937-uk-snap-election-2017?page=1) forum discussion. First turnout. - Although pleasing the turnout went up 3% since 2015 we still ended up with only 69% bothering to vote or deciding to vote. i.e. nearly 1/3 of electorate did not care or could not decide. - 53 to 48% on UK Brexit out on turnout of 72% of which 62% in Scotland voted to remain in EU and 60% in London did the same. EU vote also included Gibraltar 55 to 45% on Scotland to stay in UK on 84.5% of eligible Scottish voters – no one else got a say - 2015 General election 66.4% turnout with wide variation dependent on constituency. The Conservatives won 36% of that which gave them overall majority of 12 seats in House of Commons #### May as P.M IMHO May got exactly what she deserved. 3 unbelievably bad decisions in under 12 months: 1. No general election after becoming p.m and failing to seek support across parties for Brexit process after referendum and Cameron’s resignation 2. Triggering Brexit process but not having election whilst clearly knowing there was a 2 year timetable 3. Changing mind and having election – again this could have been agreed with other parties based on the Brexit timetable – i.e. the alleged reason of a stable government to agree deal on the timeline If anything proves that May is not fit to be P.M it should be the above – as if her record as an appalling Home Secretary was any justification for making her leader. I think that was the, anyone but Boris Johnson/Michael Gove, vote in action. Luckily I was away for a few weeks of the general election campaign but seldom have I seen such a disastrous rabble as the Conservative attempt – again totally controlled by May’s cohorts, at least some of them have had the dignity to resign. Contrast with Scottish campaign run by Scottish Conservatives 1 MP to 13 is staggering. Now what – the country will have to carry on with May (or have 4 weeks of leadership election) for a period but expect an autumn election – no party can govern without a more formalised agreement as 2010-15 showed – at least Gov was stable – unlike Lib-Lab pact of 70’s. Despite Progressive Alliance discussion, Labour would need DUP as well as all the other parties to pass any legislation unless they expect Conservatives to vote for their policies – nationalise railways for example? #### Labour Kudos to Corbyn although losing an election is a funny way of claiming victory. The big losers are SNP, but are still the majority in Scotland. My only comment there is if your campaign is entirely based on someone who is not standing i.e. Nicola Sturgeon then don’t be surprised if it gets personal. Ditto for Theresa May but at least she was standing in her constituency. Labour MPs after this election have 10 less than Labour won under Neil Kinnock in 1987. He resigned as it was seen as a disastrous result. Some Labour commentators have managed to mention the fact that [Labour lost.](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40231738) Some realism at last. To win an outright majority Labour need at least another 70 seats. To have a decent majority they need more like another 100. Even with a complete reversal in Scotland (30 back from SNP) a dozen from Wales and no resurgence in Lib Dems, somehow they need another 50 current Conservative seats. #### Forecast If there is another election will Conservatives campaign as badly? Will young turnout (thought to be Labour) be as high will places like Kensington stay with current result. My view: - Lib Dems will gain again impact on both Labour and Conservative but only small number maybe another 5-8 - Labour will hold more easily in North but lose in South end up same - Conservatives will regain Southern losts - SNP will again slip back to Labour but might re-gain Conservative wins. - Net result – same again but might just give Conservatives 8 seats net gain for overall majority. I cannot see an alternate candidate for P.M – yes I know people talk about Boris but he does not have enough backing. There is no obvious alternate leader in waiting. I think May will survive for a few months, then again I didn’t expect Cameron to resign and her to become P.M. Let alone to blow the election – I had a bet for 50+ majority. This time I won’t put money on it and a lot can happen between now and then The BBC’s poll of polls tracker actually showed it. The trend for Labour was up just as it had been for the referendum out vote and the 2015 election Conservative win. What Theresa would give for Cameron’s result now. #### Tax One of the problems of most electorates and the promise of jam tomorrow is misunderstanding how the tax system works and what can really be obtained by raising taxes. The Lib-Dem manifesto was at least partly honest by stating that there needed to be a rise in basic taxation to generate the funds needed for higher spending without just adding to the debt. Remember our UK debt interest payments: ” ***(paying the interest) the public debt amounted to around £43 billion (which is roughly 3% of GDP or 8% of UK government tax income)***” This is roughly the same as the defence budget 2/3 of education spending and 1/3 of NHS. In other words this is a staggering amount of money, which is growing daily and current spending activity despite austerity is just adding to it. i.e. the governments since 2008 have made this worse. If we want more money for these areas (or anything else) don’t treat public spending as a never ending credit card. The difficult austerity measures of 2010-15 were designed to stop increasing this borrowing and failed. The Labour party campaigned (somewhat successfully whilst still losing) for an end to austerity but unless tax intake goes up substantially the debt will rise as day to day borrowing increases i.e. we add to the debt. It doesn’t mater what you borrow for (infrastructure, deficit, pay) it all adds up to debt – a failing of virtually every country in the world. It’s called living beyond our means – although in most of advanced world it is its not paying our bills. i.e. if we paid more tax privately or from business we could pay this off. Relying on GDP increase to increase taxation is not working. The other issue on tax is the fallacy that higher earners are not paying their fair share. 25% of £100k a year is £25k. 25% of £20k is £4,000 – ignoring allowances and higher payments (First £11k free of tax for both and higher rate coming in at higher salary) the higher rate tax payer already pays £21k a year more for the same services. So the richer members of society (everyone that pays tax) already give subsidies to the lower paid. At the same time many richer members of society do not use those services e.g. private education and private health/social care. The old tale of the taxpayers should always be born in mind – yes its glib. For 10 taxpayers substitute ten companies with corporation tax 10 drinkers in a bar who decide to settle their £100 weekly beer bill roughly the same way we pay our taxes. So, the first four men (the poorest) paid nothing; the fifth paid £1; the sixth £3; the seventh £7; the eighth £12; the ninth £18; and the 10th man, the richest, paid £59. Then the barman decided to give them a £20 discount for being good customers. The group wanted to continue to pay the new £80 bill the same way as before. While the first four men still drank for free, the other six divided up the £20 windfall by following the progressive principle of the tax system. So the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing, making a 100 per cent saving; the sixth man paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33 per cent saving); the seventh man paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28 per cent saving); the eighth £9 instead of £12 (a 25 per cent saving); and the ninth £14 instead of £18 (a 22 per cent saving). The 10th man paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16 per cent saving). The men then began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the 10th man, “but he got £10 – the wealthy get all the breaks!” “Wait a minute,” said the first four men, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new system exploits the poor.” So the other nine men surrounded the 10th and beat him up. The next week he didn’t show for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when they came to pay, they discovered they didn’t have enough money between them to pay even half the bill. #### Inflation Unless we as a society do some fundamental re-thinking of tax income we are in danger of the rich man/company walking away. The amount of money raised by just increasing higher rates of tax is small because there are so few. This is always going to result in less income as the ridiculous 90% tax applied in the 70s demonstrated. The same applies to rich companies – i.e. those that generate sufficient profits or dividends. If the are publicly owned then those dividends turn into investment income for our pensions – yes the senior executives pay themselves extortionate amounts. The richest companies in the world (Apple etc.) employ hundreds of people to move money around to avoid whichever country tries to get more of the income even under a current system. If you make it more expensive for them to trade the directors will be duty bound (and financially incentivised) to try a way to avoid it. Taking their jobs (from Apple store assistants to financial traders) with them. By the way increasing wages in any organisation increases costs unless there is a corresponding increase in productivity. Cost = goods / services price rise or cost of service for public sector. Thus either price inflation or more tax required issue. Pay seems to come first, productivity a long way behind, if ever. Have we learned nothing from the high inflation and high interest rates of the 70s and 80s. Of course the young have an excuse. They were promised in Labour’s manifesto free University education, higher wages, and the old more spending on welfare and social care. They are the *now* generation and have grown up with exceptionally low inflation. This is not a Conservative manifesto it is baic economics. We as a population are childish and naive. We want something for nothing. We all want jam tomorrow. The current political situation is a reflection of lack of honesty from politicians of all parties who have failed to address the major issues of national income and national debt. If we want good health care and good social care then it has to be paid for. That means tax not borrowing. The trident row is another good example, Whatever the merits of a nuclear deterrent the cost argument is farcical. Trident cost is £100bn for whole life i.e. less than the cost of one year’s NHS spending. I sometimes think the entire population is unable to understand basic mathematics in particular what a percentage is i.e. the tax take example above. If we really want to sort out public finances.Institue of Financial Studies produced this in 2015. Suggested reading And a quote from that document my emphasis – “Of the big three taxes: - a 1 percentage point rise in *all rates of income tax* would raise £5.5 billion; - a 1 percentage point rise in all employee and self-employed National Insurance - contribution (NIC) rates would raise £4.9 billion; - a 1 percentage point rise in the main rate of VAT would raise £5.2 billion. If we want £10bn more for the NHS per year we need 2% on basic rate and we will all have less to spend. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** Brexit, Business, Conservatives, DUP, GDP, IFS, Jeremy Corbyn, Labour, Lib-Lab Pact, Liberal Democrats, London, National Debt, Neil Kinnock, NHS, Parliament, Philip G Henley, referendum, Scottish referendum, SNP, Theresa May, UK, UKIP, Writing --- ### [IT, Mathematics and Money](https://phenweb.co.uk/it-mathematics-and-money/) **Published:** July 9, 2017 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Why is IT and mathematics and money, so misunderstood? Although I would love to be a full time writer and earn enough to have that career, reality means that I earn a living plying a different role. Since leaving the armed forces, most of that time has been spent in or around the IT industry. Sometimes that is for companies delivering support services for non-IT related government and private contracts. This article is in no way about my current company, and I generalise for effect. So what has this article got to do with that? Let’s take a step back. How often have you heard otherwise intelligent people state that they do not understand mathematics? They did not do well at it in school and claim not to understand it now. Despite that alleged failing these same people hold down jobs and supposedly manage budgets sometimes of hundreds of millions of pounds or dollars. Many politicians suffer from this trait and their inability to add up neatly explains why tax income is exceeded by government expenditure. They do not explain this fallacy because they need to promise the electorate better services, higher wages, more infrastructure, etc. whilst reducing tax. Two plus two does not equal five. This promise inflicts, or infects, all political parties, resulting in endlessly borrowing on all our grandchildren’s future. I have ranted about this before. The question is why is this simple piece of mathematics so hard for the population to grasp? This brings me back to that statement about not understanding mathematics, often explained with a silly smile and a shrug. I get the same response about IT. There seems to be a culture of ignorance about IT in the same way as mathematics. In other words many, very clever, senior people don’t understand or do not want to understand IT. I have seen this across industries and from CEOs to numerate finance directors and operations directors. One mention of a network issue or a software problem and eyes glaze over. Now these folks fundamentally understand complex business operations or financial wheeling and dealing. I appreciate that IT, like other fields, is full of technical jargon and complexity. I do not expect a non-expert to understand the details of network routing and firewall configuration or the impact of a failure to replicate a database between clusters in multiple data centres. What I do expect is that sufficient time is allocated to discuss with non-technical jargon the impact of such issues. As a manager next time you check a business agenda, see where IT is, if at all. I strongly believe that here we have a root cause of why so many major IT projects go wrong. Whether it’s a major update to a legacy system in a government department, (take your pick from HMRC, NHS, DWP), or a failure sometimes in public of a major private company. BA is a recent example. In all these cases, I am certain risks or issues where known, had been briefed in IT departments and probably promptly ignored by senior management because it would mean cost increases, delay or change from sometimes impossible requirements. The old axiom of do it right first time is often ignored by reducing budget, resources and changing requirements. Meanwhile, those in charge seem to have little if any understanding of the fundamentals they are changing. Compare this approach with other professions. If a surgeon gives a long diagnosis and prognosis of a particular issue you may not understand it but you would not tell him to deliver the surgery in 60% of the time at 75% of the costs and by the way do it with two fewer nurses and use a cleaner as the anaesthetist because we can do that bit without that expertise. Yet the number of times I have seen senior management claim this is all possible, if only the project or programme manager would get a grip. There is then equal surprise when the task is delayed, fails, or causes some other major issue. Short cuts on patching regime, welcome to WannaCry. Short cuts on refresh policy welcome to system failure. Shortcuts on data centre configuration don’t be surprised when BCP does not work. Clearly IT, like every business support service, needs to work to a budget but I have heard senior executives demand reductions in budget year on year regardless of the system requirements, status of hardware or software. This leaves security and service risks which again get ignored by clients and supplier alike. That is until disaster strikes or the project is so far over budget and behind schedule it cannot be recovered without exposing massive embarrassment. Try and raise this in a non-IT meeting and see how far you get. By the time you get traction it’s already too late. So, how can this be fixed? Better training? For whom? More respect for IT? Again how? Simpler explanations? They have a place but back to the surgeon. I do not claim that IT is as complex as brain surgery but some networks I have seen look more like a neutron cluster than a controlled design. This is due to company changes and just endless bolting on of additional bits to keep it working. Look at the bloat in our core office applications. Some of this code is new features but most is error checking and correcting code rather than core fixes. It’s cheaper that way and Moore’s law has given the raw horsepower to cope. We now have massively inefficient code, applications, management systems and networks. This should go against every engineering tenet for simplicity of design. It will cost to fix this and until disaster strikes no one will care. That major data leak, failure of data centre or never-ending non-delivering project will be blamed on the IT team, not the executives who ignored the warnings in that briefing they did not bother to read or understand. I wish it was not so but I fear this will only get worse with the Internet of things.

The media (social and mainstream) would lead most people to believe that the world has never been so dangerous or that governments have never been so incompetent or evil. Whether its the latest news on Brexit, Trump’s Tweets, Putin’s evil intent or the chaos that is Syria and Yemen. There appears to be a tendency to ignore even recent history. It seems apt that I take a personal perspective. This year marks the 40th year (in August) since I entered full time employment. I left school at 17 (Much to my parents annoyance) half way through my A Levels. It was unusual then to even take A Levels. University was for less that 20% of the population. I was in the vast majority. The UK was a very different place. A Labour Government was in charge under Jim Callaghan as Prime Minister and his infamous ‘Winter of Discontent’ was to follow that winter. I had dreams of being a rock star (don’t laugh) instead, I became an Electronics Technician earning (via a weekly brown envelope holding the cash) £29 per week. Equivalent to about £160 in today’s inflation affected money. The inflation rate was 7.8%. It would rise higher along with interest rates. The UK was known as the sick man of Europe which was the trading block known as the EEC or Common Market as it was commonly known. The UK had joined the EEC with Denmark and Ireland in 1973 – there was no referendum. It did have a referendum to remain in 1975. The troubles were 10 years old in Northern Ireland, and that year 82 deaths were attributed to the conflict. The next year would be worse. The UK was still supporting the new Oman regime but elsewhere was not directly militarily involved, except of course the day to day cold war with the Soviet Union. To give some context to Middle East troubles including Oman this is a handy reference – [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_modern\_conflicts\_in\_the\_Middle\_East](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_conflicts_in_the_Middle_East) Jimmy Carter was US President having beaten Gerald Ford in 1976. Ford of course had become President after Nixon resigned in August 1974. (pence for Trump?) The Iranian revolution would follow in 1979, with all the troubles that caused Carter. Brezhnev was the leader of the Soviet Union and would be until Nov 1982. He would be in charge when the Soviet Union entered Afghanistan in 1979 –[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan\_War.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War) It took the Soviet Union nearly 10 years to ‘get out’ of Afghanistan. The US supported the Mujahideen including Bin Laden with advisors and weapons. The US Ambassador to Afghanistan was murdered in 1979 initially blamed on a communist group. The US, UK and others still have troops there since the October 2001 invasion, and in Iraq since March 2003. How long will it be until we completely leave both countries. In 1978, Germany was split East and West with Berlin a split city in the East. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, were still joined. Solidarity in Poland was still a couple of years off. The KGB was the security apparatus of the Soviet Union supporting the vassal states in the Warsaw Pact. A Bulgarian exile, Georgi Markov was murdered on a London Street by a poisoned umbrella pellet in Sept 1978. Odd murders by security services are not new. The World Wide Web would not be invented until 1989 and have little relevance until the late 1990s. There were 16 million users world wide in 1995 when I was a military officer on an Exchange post in the USA. Now. there are over 4 Billion. The Internet of course existed in Military and scientific fields before that. Writing this is has reminded me how much has changed personally and how little has changed world wide. Yes, names have changed and regimes have changed, but global politics is as messy as ever. We still have Middle East conflict, US Presidential politics, and rows about Europe. We can add in the mix a rising China and risk of trade wars, climate changes, and the risks from population growth. Despite the current issues it still feels a better world than watching uncollected rubbish pile on the streets whilst walking to work because of yet another strike. **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** afghanistan, Bin Laden, Brezhnev, Bulgaria, Donald Trump, E-book, EEC, Georgi Markov, Gerald Ford, inflation, Jim Callaghan, Jimmy Carter, Philip G Henley, publish, Publishing, Putin, Richard Nixon, Soviet Union, syria, Writing --- ### [One Morning In The Office Take 8](https://phenweb.co.uk/one-morning-in-the-office-take-8/) **Published:** February 16, 2019 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** One Morning In The Office – a satire @realDonaldTrump “Sir, you asked for the preprepared national Emergency speeches.” Thanks, “I’ll rehearse them now – want them to sound punchy.” “It’s a national emergency.

Reduction in MPs from 650 to 500 with attendant boundary changes 2. MPs deselected that do not take up seats e.g. NI parties that don’t 3. Proportional representation introduction outside NI – mentioned in Lib Dems last time but not by main parties 4. Lords reform – to voted for chamber (power away from House of Commons) 5. Fixed term limits for Prime Minister or MPs e.g. See Costa Rica 4 years for President 8 years for MP equivalent 6. Tax take must equal or be more than government spend and borrowing cost – no deficit increase 7. Any hope that any manifesto might get implemented with thought for unintended consequences – see 6 for spending commitments 8. Understanding by any MP of unintended consequences see 6 and 7 9. Understanding by any political party that it takes years to train doctors, nurses, teachers therefore you cannot magic more in a couple of years unless imported from abroad thus denying other countries’ their health/teaching 10. That Donald Trump has no vote in UK Election, nor does any other foreign politician (including EU). Their opinions are irrelevant, and should be ignored especially tweets 11. If you don’t vote for who you want to represent you do not complain when someone else is elected – introduce compulsory voting 12. Challenge those who are asking for your vote how they will vote on the issues.

Now that much of the globe is in some type of lock down, quarantine or ignorance, it seems more necessary. Not that my viewpoint is any better than many other posts. There has been an extensive misinformation, or misunderstanding of statistics, not helped by the media. There attitude at last seems to be changing to better reporting, rather than the fear they like to envisage. Lets start with some basic facts: World Population as at 2015 (census dependent) 7.35 Billion that is 7,350,000,000 with forecast to be over 7.7 by 2020 Actual confirmed deaths 18:35 on 20th March 2020 due to virus according to WHO as listed on https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ 11,188 Actual confirmed mortality rate is therefore 11,200 divided by 7.35 billion which is **0.00015238%** Because the population is likely to be higher than last full statistics the rate is actually lower on confirmed death cases. So where the scare stories of 1% or 20% and any number in between come from is unclear. As a comparison TB caused 3 million deaths in 2016. Clearly this horrible virus spreads and kills and the deaths are tragic but dying from TB is still dying. The 1% or higher numbers are actually an infected mortality rate. i.e. this requires a confirmed case and death assigned to COVID-19. Both numbers used for this are equally dodgy. The number of deaths is probably an underestimate e.g. deaths that are caused by it but not medically linked. However, the likely cases are a massive underestimate. Now we need to look at subsets of subsets of data, none of which are without error. We start with World’s population 7.5 billion and work down from same source - immune not a carrier – unknown - carrier no symptoms – unknown - carrier minimal symptoms 166,000 - Carrier medium symptoms – hospital 159,000 - Carrier serious/critical – ICU – hospital 8,000 - Death 11,200 As a comparator the UK has 660,000 deaths each year in population of 65 million and UK has had 177 deaths assigned to COVID-19 although all are reported as *with underlying conditions* A sense of perspective is needed **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** COVID-19 --- ### [One Morning In The Office Take 9](https://phenweb.co.uk/one-morning-in-the-office-take-9/) **Published:** November 22, 2019 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** One Morning In The Office – a satire @realDonaldTrump ``` "Vlad, how are you?

During the walk we gained one dog, several pounds in weight and two years in age including one with a zero for me. We lost the year of planning to complete the route in 2020 due to the global pandemic. Many will do the walk faster or complete tougher/longer walks. We have done tougher individual climbs [Helvellyn](https://www.mudandroutes.com/routes/walking-routes-helvellyn/) in the Lake District a notable previous trip. I’ve created a [full gallery page which you can find here with all the photos](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/south-downs-way/ "South Downs Way") and more than are in this blog.

We drove away from Pyecombe on a bright but cold early winter’s day when the short daylight hours limited further attempts. We stopped for the winter expecting to restart in Spring 2020. Well nothing restarted until July 2021. We managed to book some accommodation for now two dogs and two adults. Not easy at best of times as few hotels, B&Bs or cottages are available that take dogs and cottages. (They wanted a lot of money and a week’s booking too.) The walk is full of stunning views and panoramas: ![Panorama](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1020119-1024x261.jpg)![Clear Day](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1030034-1024x576.jpg)In November 2019, we had managed two days in a row with calm weather even if cold and despite arriving in the dark. Going downhill at dusk can be fun – not. We split two days walking with a stay in the [South Downs Way B&B Poynings](https://www.southdownswaybandb.co.uk/) (Very Good).

On one day, for Leg 4, we had taken the train from Amberley Station to Chichester, and then a bus to a start point in the lay by ending from Leg 3. These were new experiences for Merlot our then 9 year old lone tricolour border collie, since joined by his great nephew Malbec.[ ](http://mastamariners.com/)Both [MastaMariners](http://mastamariners.com/) ![Merlot Bus](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_0978-1024x768.jpg)A bus and a train all in one day – woof! Leaving the car in a lay bys or car parks to be reclaimed with tired and muddy walkers and one dog at that time, is fine if the journey back home is about an hour. As we ventured further east the trip out and back increased, traffic and weary bones starts limiting the enjoyment so more planning for overnight stays and therefore hopes of good weather. We were lucky on nearly every occasion. On only one day did we have heavy rain at any point and that was on Leg 2 when despite a reasonable forecast our luck did not hold.

The legs had fabulous scenery and increasing temperatures. There is a choice for walkers for the last leg, inland or down to the coast. We chose the coastal route. The leg was tough going covering the walk to the coast from Alfriston, past the Litlington White Horse (across the valley) through to Seven Sisters Country Park and then the Seven Sisters themselves and Beachy Head. A lot of up and down in a roller coaster path, for which the ticket entry was painful knees and more blisters. ![SDW White Horse](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_0506-768x1024.jpg)Litlington White Horse ![SDW River Cuckmere](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1030575-1024x576.jpg)River Cuckmere![SSDW Belle Tout Lighthouse](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1030589-1024x576.jpg)Belle Tout Lighthouse in the distance![SDW Lighthouse](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1030604-1024x576.jpg)Belle Tout Light House![SDW Eastbourne](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1030620-1024x576.jpg)Nearly there – Eastbourne walking down from Beachy Head![SDW End](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/P1030630-1024x576.jpg)The SDW EndFinally a suitable toast with my beautiful wife to complete the walk ![SDW Toast](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_0514-768x1024.jpg)Lisa end toast## Legs Leg 1 – **Winchester** (elevation 20 feet at Riverside) to **Exton** – 25th May 2019 – 12 Miles / 19.5 km – two main climbs Cheesefoot Hill 577ft and Beacon Hill 659ft Leg 2 – **Exton** to **Buriton** (Queen Elizabeth Country Park) – 15th June 2019 -12.5 miles / 20 km – Butser Hill 886 ft Leg 3 – **Buriton** to **Cocking** – 16th July 2019 10.5 miles / 17 km – Beacon Hill 794 ft Leg 4 – **Cocking** to **Amberley** – 3rd August 2019 – 11.5 miles / 18.5 km – Bignor Hill 738 ft Leg 5 – **Amberley** to **Steyning** – 28th November 2019 – 10 miles / 16 km – Chanctonbury Ring 771 ft Leg 6 – **Steyning** to **Pyecombe** – 29th November 2019 – 10 miles / 16 km – Devils Dyke 673 ft A long break….

My family and I were on holiday in New York in the summer of 2001. It was our first trip back to the USA since we had left from living there in February 1998. Little did we know, as we visited the sites, what would unfurl a few weeks later. There are some photos below, including a couple from 2008 when we returned via a cruse ship sailing at dawn into New York ![Missing Towers](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1010594-1024x768.jpg)Reflecting on NYC 2008 with no towersOne summer morning, we queued by the elevators to reach the [*Top of The World* observation deck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_(1973%E2%80%932001)#Top_of_the_World_observation_deck) on the 107th floor. It was not a bright blue morning sky that greeted us. Not like the blue we saw in the pictures weeks later. It was cloudy and hazy. A day or so before, we had been at the top of the Empire State looking across the city at the towers. Now, we looked the other way and watched the ants in the squares below. Virtually every view of the city contained the iconic landmarks.

I was at work when others called me to look at the news coverage. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Like many others I thought it was a plane accident to start with. We’d watched the planes heading along the Hudson river. Stared out the windows at the cityscape as we flew into JFK a few days before. Then, the second plane hit and there was no doubt. There were phone calls home and concern about relatives and friends who may or may not be in New York and Washington. I had former US military colleagues in the Pentagon (all safe it turned out, but some close shaves). Many contacts who visited New York. Then, there was the fear of an attack in the UK. ## Air Defence I was quizzed about what might be happening. My new civilian work colleagues of just a couple of years, knew I had been in the RAF and some knew that was in Air Defence. Our office was adjacent to an airfield. I could imagine the scrambles of jets and alerts rushing round the system. I could imagine my RAF colleagues manning consoles and radars, as they tried to check every single plane flying in and near UK airspace. Just in case the conspiracy was across the world. I stated loudly in the open plan office, that the USA ‘would go to war over this.’ My comment was met by some disbelief. I had no pre-knowledge, other than my time serving directly with the US military. Such an attack could not go unpunished. I had seen intelligence from a few years before. It was used it in classified lectures I gave that mentioned the rise of Islamic extremism, across the World. Nothing specific to an attack on the USA. There had been attacks earlier that year and in previous years. The signs were there. We didn’t know until much later, how much the CIA knew and failed to tell the FBI. ## The Holiday When we stood atop the towers looking at the stunning views, it was just a spectacular visage at the start of a holiday. New York was very crowded and not suited to our young children. They were more used to quiet country towns. As parents, our heads were full of keeping an eye on the children, where we should eat, and the travel plans for the next few days. Central park was a notable exception of tranquillity. We headed West from Newark to LA, in the following days to visit friends near San Diego. A few days later, we went to Tucson with more friends before a trip to the Canyon and Vegas. We flew back from LA to London. The children went back to school. My wife and I with our respective jobs. I’ve posted some photos, with the addition of a couple from our next visit in 2008 including driving past the then construction site. The mess that Afghanistan became, has been highlighted with the chaotic withdrawals this summer, The anniversary of the attack that sparked the NATO invasion is not just a twenty year mark. It is something that happens every day and every year for those who lost loved ones in the attacks. ## Many Anniversaries It’s not just 10, 15, twenty or eventually 50 year occasions. It’s every birthday or wedding anniversary missed. Children’s graduations and other events missing a parent’s attendance. Then, we have the anniversaries of those that lost loved ones or had them returned injured in the wars that followed; highlighted in recent weeks with the events and more deaths in Afghanistan. Now, is not the time to comment again on the fallacies or justifications of those wars. Instead, I can recall a happy holiday. The gasps at the views and famous landmarks lost. The other pictures I haven’t posted, of my young children, both now grown adults with my daughter living and working as a teacher in the USA. Skylines have changed, children have grown, yet twenty years have gone in what seems a blink of an eye. ## Reflecting On A New York Return? One day, we’ll probably head back to New York. We were in DC driving past the Pentagon in [December 2018](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/usa-2018/ "USA 2018"). Maybe we will visit the new [One World Trade Centre](https://www.oneworldobservatory.com/en-US/) and take a ride to another observation deck. I know I will think back then to other towers and similar, but different views. The new landmark may be very tall but is perhaps less distinctive than the former twins. If we go, we will certainly visit the memorial. Save for a couple of weeks, we could have been on top of the towers watching the hijacked planes head for us. Our names could be on that list. It was not a close escape but one of several weeks. Luck of time and distance, as many things in life are. A colleague of mine was sailing towards New York that day. He was due to visit the Towers on the 12th. He spent a few extra days on the cruise ship before they were flown home when flights resumed. I have colleagues who visited the towers regularly. More worked in the Pentagon or they were frequent fliers on internal US flights criss-crossing the country for work or pleasure. I know others who were on-board planes at the time and the fear that swept though them. I was in an office, not where I had been a few weeks before. A time for reflection, a time to mourn, but also a time to be thankful that I had the experience of standing in the breeze looking at the Statue of Liberty. ![Reflecting On Statue Of Liberty](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/P1010596-1024x768.jpg)Reflecting On Statue Of Liberty **Categories:** Commentary Blogs **Tags:** 20th Anniversary, 9/11, afghanistan, New York, Philip G Henley, Skyline, World Trade Center --- ### [Translations - languages not English](https://phenweb.co.uk/translations-languages-not-english/) **Published:** January 30, 2022 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Lots of updates on translations of my books with dedicated pages created for Spansih, Portuguese, French and Italian copies.

Consequently, some books arrive quickly while others stay as Works in Progress for years. I am also constrained by costs and time as writing is not well paid for the vast majority of authors. Professional services from editors to cover designers often want significant sums to complete work. There is little to no return on this investment; therefore, I create my own covers and publish myself. Marketing, using advertising does not come cheap. Paying for impressions and clicks on various platforms while helping to make Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg billionaires. I’m not! Very, very few advertising clicks result in sales; therefore, I am very grateful to those that help me especially translators and narrators. If you enjoy my stories please do leave reviews on Amazon, Goodreads or elsewhere. ## Philip G Henley Book Translations and Audio Translations of most of my books or audio versions in English are available.

He says hopefully with work in progress status. Please also see details on [Translations](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/book-translations-books-available/ "Book Translations – Books Available") and [Audio Books](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/audio-books/), for activity in these areas. Nearly all my published books are out in Audio versions. The progress or lack of it varies dependent on mood, and available time. As you can see, I have multiple works in progress (WIPs) at anytime. This is due to my writing method, as well as inspiration or lack of that. Books tend to flow in bursts of inspiration rather than steady progress. Multiple other books are also in initial idea phase some with just a few hundred words. Maybe they’ll turn into something, maybe not. ## Coming Soon Books Book descriptions are below followed by a status update.

I then have two primary video editing tools. [iMovie](https://www.apple.com/imovie/index.html) from Apple and [Kdenlive](https://kdenlive.org/), the open-source video editor. Video editing is definitely not in my skill set. I am sourcing some graphics and audio, where they are used, from Royalty free sources. I have also used some AI generation as I have previously [commented](https://phenweb.co.uk/ai-killing-writing-and-creative-content/ "AI Killing Writing and Creative Content"). The trailer background video is from either [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) (a free account and therefore limited attempts), or it’s taken from [PixNova](https://pixnova.ai/features/) an AI tool, paid for with site credits. I then take the AI-produced clip or image and edit further in the previously mentioned applications. Background music, where used, is also sourced royalty-free and added. All are combined, rendered, and then posted here, on my YouTube channel, back-linked to Goodreads, and loaded as reels on Facebook. ### kdenlive kdnlive is an open source video editor. See a review [here](https://www.capcut.com/resource/reviews-of-kdenlive). Going to take me quite a while to get to grips with it especially transitions between video channels. Would like some faster shortcuts for simple fade in and outs ![Kdenlive Semblance Video trailers](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/kdenlive-Semblance-1024x516.png)### Affinity ![Affinity Video Trailers](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/image-2-1024x640.png)### iMovie The built in mac tool is good on video, very easy. It falls down on text transitions and positioning for video trailers. I have used it before for home movies, collecting holiday video clips.

I have included higher-definition pictures of my book covers. I use these in Kindle cover design and as the foundation for my audiobooks. [FooGallery ](https://fooplugins.com/foogallery-wordpress-gallery-plugin/)is responsible for creating the galleries on this site. Covers are designed and produced in [Affinity Photo](https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/) or [Affinity Publisher](https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/publisher/), and they are output as JPEGs or PDFs (for paperbacks). Each cover format has a specific size and pixel density requirement. Audiobooks must conform to the [ACX platform specifications](https://help.acx.com/s/article/add-cover-art) as an upload (max 2400×2400 pixels) and be square, whereas [Kindle covers are in 2×3 format.](https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200645690) Paperbacks are much more complex and, of course, based on the real page count and physical size of the book. I use the 6″ x 9″ format, and [Amazon provides templates ](https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201834190)based on the number of pages.

Below, are some of the hundreds of photos, including some from the beach hotel. We went with [Secret Escapes](https://co.uk.sales.secretescapes.com/117068/blissful-kenya-safari-beach-uk) and despite initial travel problems had a wonderful time. ![Plain Kenyan Safari](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/P1050319a-1024x503.jpg)TsavoMore photos from other trips can be found [here](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/ "Photos") We stayed on the beach at the [Baobab Beach Resort ](https://baobab-beach-resort.com/)and then went on Safari staying at [Taita Hills](https://taitahillssafariresort.com/) and then [Salt Lick Lodge](https://saltlicksafarilodge.com/). We were joined by two other couples and thanks to them for their forbearance with me taking endless photos and video. ![Salt Lick Lodge - Kenyan Safari](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/P1050341-1024x768.jpg)Salt Lick Lodge## Animals Unfortunately, in the park where we went Rhinos are extinct. Kenya still has approx 1600 but they are not in the parks we went to which were Tsavo East and West. Instead, you would need to go to a park like [Lake Nakuru](https://www.lakenakurukenya.com/the-rhino-sanctuary-in-lake-nakuru-national-park/). We were very lucky to see a leopard in daylight and about to go hunting. ![Leopard 1](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/P1050102-1024x576.jpg)LeopardWe were apparently unlucky not to see Cheetah despite looking. ## Kills and Mates We did see the aftermath of a lion kill of a zebra. We had seen the pride on a night drive just waking up. The next morning they were full and you could see the blood on their faces. The cubs we had seen on one day looking thin had full bellies the next morning. The pride one male and 8 females were separate from the family group of a tracked female three cubs and an older female. We also came across a female and male who decided to consummate their relationship in front of us. Later the same female was with three males. There were a lot of carcasses around but most of these were from the drought two years ago. ![Lion Kill Zebra](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/P1050367a-1024x768.jpg)Zebra Kill![Full

Kong](https://phenweb.co.uk/photos/singapore-to-hong-kong/) **Published:** February 2, 2024 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Another January holiday, with a Singapore to Hong Kong Cruise. Two nights in Singapore before embarking on [Celebrity Solstice](https://www.celebritycruises.com/cruise-ships/celebrity-solstice). Organised by [Planet Cruise](https://www.planetcruise.com/en) the trip covered two stops in Thailand, Koh Samui and allegedly Bangkok (actually a port two hours away). We went to Pattaya instead 45 mins away. Then, four stops in Vietnam. Again stops weren’t always very close to city advertised. We went to Ho Chi Minh from the port Phu My (about 90 mins to the former Saigon, Nha Trang, then Chan May, before Halong Bay. We didn’t go to Hanoi two hours away. Final destination was Hong Kong for two further nights. ![Singapore to Hong Kong](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-300x208.png) ## Singapore To Hong Kong Galleries ### Singapore

busy at times, tour with lots to see but also too much time spent in buses, planes, and waiting for the same. Early morning starts and late hotel arrivals. Altitude does hurt too. Maybe not sick but climbing steps in Machu Picchu was still hard. Our Cuzco days not helped by me suffering from a combined altitude and food upset. We declined the optional Rainbow mountain tour (thankfully) 17,000+ feet. Just over 13,000 was enough. BTW Ben Nevis is 4,400 as a comparison. If you were thinking of the same tour we booked the tour via [Secret Escapes](https://co.uk.sales.secretescapes.com/123361/uk-3pp-core-zd-combi-peru-sacred-inca-ultimate-ama/?urlSlug=breathtaking-peru-escape-with-sacred-valley-and-amazon-lima-sacred-valley-cusco-machu-picchu-and-iquitos-peru-uk) and [Exotica](https://www.exoticca.com/us/nature/america/7707-off-the-map-inca-lands-real-amazon).

Foi traduzido por [Rebeca Rodrigues Vargas e Souza](https://www.babelcube.com/user/rebeca-rodrigues-vargas-e-souza) ![Linhas Lines Port Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Linhas-Lines-Port-Cover-scaled-e1768912905837-199x300.jpg) ## Linhas – Descrição O Major Brett Hostam é membro da Delta Force. Sua nova missão o leva a um curso de treinamento peculiar e extremamente seletivo. As aulas, tanto teóricas quanto físicas, são desafiadoras. Durante o curso, Brett é identificado apenas como 2023-5C. Simone Harris, designada como 2023-4D, também participa do treinamento. Ela foi cedida pela CIA. Se obtiverem êxito, integrarão o Departamento de Investigações Temporais (TID). Muitos outros candidatos não conseguem concluir o processo. Seleção e capacidade são os critérios fundamentais. A maioria das pessoas não consegue viajar no tempo. Consequentemente, há poucos agentes ativos realizando missões através das eras. Uma câmara secreta transporta os dois e seu novo chefe, Todd Caraway, 2.000 anos para o passado. Cada etapa do treinamento serve para avaliar se eles possuem a capacidade necessária e se conseguem sobreviver à experiência. A instrutora deles, em uma cabana isolada na natureza canadense, é a enigmática Krista Lysander, que carrega um passado complexo. Eles aprendem sobre o TID, seus concorrentes, missões, câmaras e a linha do tempo. Também descobrem como erros podem levar à morte ou apenas a situações embaraçosas. Simone e Brett aprendem a utilizar dispositivos de pulso que permitem saltos no tempo e no espaço. Os dois aprendizes sofrem os efeitos colaterais decorrentes de saltos com defasagem temporal e enfrentam os perigos do uso do equipamento enquanto descobrem suas funcionalidades. Quanto maior a distância em relação à sua linha do tempo original, mais severos são os efeitos. Eles concluem o treinamento e retornam à sua linha do tempo através da câmara. Precisam impedir imediatamente a vigilância russa sobre Todd e sua família. Atuando nos EUA, a versão russa do TID está criando ameaças que precisam ser superadas. O TID precisa lidar com a política global, tanto atual quanto histórica. O comitê gestor e os chefes do TID interferem constantemente nas pesquisas históricas. Ameaças e perigos podem surgir a qualquer momento ou em qualquer lugar. ## A Série TID em inglês [LInes](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/lines-t-i-d-part-one/), [Zodiac](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/zodiac-t-i-d-part-2/), and [Past Future Perfect](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/past-future-perfect-t-i-d-part-3/)(In production) **Categories:** Português **Tags:** CIA, FBI, GRU, History, History, Science Fiction, SVR, Time Travel **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Science Fiction, Time Travel **Series:** T.I.D Português **Languages:** Portuguese **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [ExCommunication](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/excommunication/) **Published:** December 15, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** ExCommunication is a novel about divorce, separation and starting again.

The audio book is narrated by the ever reliable [Kevin Baugh](https://www.acx.com/narrator?p=ABAN19WT39S8J&tab=about). ## ExCommunication Description Martin Prior thought he had it all. A thriving business he is about to sell, a family, and a stable if unsatisfying married life. But when he uncovers a shocking truth about his wife, everything crumbles. After a painful divorce, he escapes to Thailand, seeking solace among an enigmatic group of expats. Here, temptation lurks around every corner. As he navigates new friendships and desires, the secrets of his past haunt him. As he uses his telescope from the terrace of his new home to gaze at the stars, fulfilling a long-term interest, perhaps he will spy on other activities. Neighbours and beaches provide opportunities for voyeurism. Martin seeks redemption and more than just sunshine and swimming, or are there more secrets to uncover? His adult children remain in the dark about why he left. As old wounds reopen, they demand answers, and hidden truths will surface.

The cartel didn’t stop. Their corrupt police officer must be silenced before he does a deal with the police who arrested him. The police have detained more potentially disloyal members. They must be threatened. The cartel’s actions, relentless grip and violent retribution forced a new investigation. Declan finds himself with newfound authority in the criminal underworld. But danger lurks at every turn. His beguiling wife, Astrid, is drawn to a Syrian refugee, Razan, trafficked as a refugee but taken in by Astrid. Declan’s new responsibilities force a move from Ibiza to Barcelona. There he must also integrate a new female recruit to build contacts just like the other women in Paris, Zurich, and Madrid. The Spanish police, in cahoots with their international colleagues from the USA’s FBI and the UK’s NCA, are desperate to infiltrate the cartel and gather hard evidence. In Barcelona, they send a young officer who resembles Declan’s lost love, someone who Declan has already helped on Ibiza. The police closed the original case against Declan Williams due to a lack of solid evidence. Declan has new reluctant partners, former enemies, to integrate into his organisation. There are other threats to the cartel’s operation. From Ibiza to Barcelona, London, LA, and the forests of Colombia, Declan Williams weaves his power and influence. He forces some to pay the ultimate price, while sex and money coerce others. Intrigue, betrayal, and danger continue to intertwine. Be prepared for more seedy, violent action through the shadowy underbelly of crime and deceit in this novel of illegality, power, passion, and peril. Will the police finally get their man? ![The Declan Williams Investigation](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/The-Declan-Williams-Investigation-184x300.jpg) ![The Declan Williams Investigation](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/The-Declan-Williams-Investigation-ACX-300x300.jpg) The book is now available on [Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats](https://mybook.to/ReAtQ).

Jumping in time is inherently dangerous without other threats appearing. Conspiracies within their senior management are discovered and investigated. Why have missions been prioritized and then had calamitous outcomes? The agents do not know whether Russian Zodiac agents are still pursuing them. They now understand that past and future TID agents could also pose a threat in any timeline. Will they interfere again? John Scott of the CIA, newly appointed to help manage TID, must navigate committee politics and deal with near rebellion from the agents. What of Carson Bridges, the current head of TID? Can he be trusted? The agents, angered, afraid, and seeking revenge, may yet confront all the management and the committee. Sam Pellor’s fate hangs by a thread; her partner is already dead. While she is in surgery, the TID agents travel back to the recent past to uncover truths that could change everything and prove the conspiracy. Sam and her partners were completing a mission in the late 1920s. Their reports appear to have uncovered foreknowledge of stock market crashes that established the mostly hidden wealth of many connected families. Who gave them that information? Do those connections extend to the current timeline and the committee? The agents are determined to find out. New recruits are thrown into the fray. They need to prove themselves on proper TID missions. They are tasked with observing historical assassination attempts to prove their capabilities and demonstrate to disbelieving senior management what TID can do. Meanwhile, whispers of a rescue for Charles Foxley in 19th-century New York keep hope alive, particularly for Krista Lysander. A crazy mission is proposed to do just that. Can his friends and colleagues save Charles? Will the future intervene again, or will past agents emerge to safeguard the wealth of conspirators? How can the agency ever return to normal operations? ![Past Future Perfect T.I.D USA Chamber range](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Range-USA-300x223.png) Past Future Perfect will be available on Amazon **Categories:** Coming Soon, Science Fiction, T.I.D Series **Tags:** History, Science Fiction, Time Travel **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Science Fiction, Time Travel **Series:** T.I.D **Languages:** English **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Il Mondo Dei Cinque](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/il-mondo-dei-cinque/) **Published:** July 24, 2026 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Il Mondo Dei Cinque è la prima parte della Serie L’Osservatore.

La vita e i pianeti sono abbondanti, la vita intelligente no. Un’esistenza quasi utopica per gli umani è sostenuta dalla dedizione a vari servizi. La politica della Federazione Umana è di non intervento. Osservare soltanto: questa è la missione del Servizio Geografico Interplanetario. Cathy è un’osservatrice del Servizio Geografico Interplanetario che osserva il pianeta Fivur, dove una convergenza eccezionalmente rara di lune e orbite sta creando enormi spostamenti mareali sulla superficie del pianeta. Cinque anni dopo l’inizio della sua missione iniziale di sei anni, con la sola compagnia di Ix, il suo sistema di intelligenza artificiale, osserva il pianeta. Carlo, un Fivuriano, deve superare l’impatto delle maree sul sistema energetico del pianeta, proteggendo al contempo la sua amata Sello. Nel frattempo, Cathy cerca di convincere i suoi superiori a intervenire e salvare la popolazione umanoide del pianeta. Se riuscirà a salvarli, avranno bisogno di una nuova casa, ma le fazioni terrestri hanno idee diverse. Nel frattempo, un’altra specie intelligente sul pianeta, gli Sharok, attende di cibarsi di qualsiasi umano o abitante di Fivur che finisca in acqua. ## La serie degli osservatori in inglese [![Observer Series Fives Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/world-of-fives-cover-188x300.jpg)](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/the-world-of-fives-the-observer-series-part-one/)[![Intervention Observer Series cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/intervention-cover-1-188x300.jpg)](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/intervention-the-observer-series-part-two/)[![Galaxian Contact Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Contact-cover-1-188x300.jpg)](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/galaxian-contact/) **Categories:** Italiano **Tags:** Aliens, Science Fiction, Space, Space Opera, Warp Speed **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Science Fiction, Space Opera **Series:** Serie L'Osservatore **Languages:** Italian **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Cadenas de Vela](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/cadenas-de-vela/) **Published:** July 13, 2024 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Cadenas de Vela es la segunda parte de la serie Navegando Claro [Libros en español](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/books-in-spanish-libros-en-espanol/) [Traducio por Alicia Rodriguez](https://www.babelcube.com/user/alicia-rodriguez-2) El Capitán Tom Larring apenas escapó con vida de una misión en Afganistán.

The Government must act, and whilst the authorities struggle to find a cure, they have to plan for the worst. As the disease spreads it is not clear how many will, or will not, survive, nor what the survivors will have to do to live. They will have to cope with their grief and loneliness before they can attempt to rebuild society. They will need to find water, food, shelter, and power and then face the other threats to their survival. If they survive, there may be hope for human kind. If they survive… To The Survivors is not in the horror genre, although there are horrific situations. There are no zombies, and no asteroids, so if you prefer these types of post apocalyptic scenarios, look elsewhere.

The academic and physical classes are challenging. Brett is known only as 2023-5C. Simone Harris, assigned the designation 2023-4D, is also training. She is seconded from the CIA. If they succeed, they will join the Temporal Investigations Department (T.I.D.). Several other candidates do not make it. Selection and capability are the key criteria. Most people cannot time-travel. Consequently, there are very few active agents conducting missions across the ages. A secret chamber transports them and their new boss, Todd Caraway, 2000 years into the past. Each stage of the training is a test to see if they have the capability and can survive the experience. Their instructor in a Canadian wilderness cabin is the enigmatic Krista Lysander, whose own past is complicated. They are learning about TID, its competitors, missions, chambers, and the time line. They also learn how mistakes can lead to death or just embarrassment. Simone and Brett learn how to use wrist devices. These allow some jumps in time and place. While using the apparatus to learn its capabilities, the two trainees suffer the consequent side effects of jumping with time lag. The further away you are from your proper time, the worse the effects are. They finish their training and return via the chamber to the current time. They must immediately stop the Russian surveillance of Todd and his family. The danger must be overcome with Russia’s version of TID operating in the USA. TID has to deal with current and historic global politics. Management’s prioritizing of missions is constantly interfering with historical research. Threats and danger may appear at any time or place. ![Lines: T.I.D Part One](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Lines-Kindle-Cover-1-197x300.jpg) ![Lines: T.I.D Series Part One ACX Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Lines-ACX-Cover-300x300.jpg) Lines: T.I.D Part One is available on [Amazon](https://mybook.to/1tVOzB9) in paperback audio and kindle formats.

Their mission? To unearth hidden truths buried in the chaos leading up to 9/11. The Russian TID has its own operatives, including a specialist GRU team called Zodiac. Why are they in the USA? The agents have to confront the enigmatic Russian GRU team known as Zodiac. They lurk in the shadows of the present, but with strange links to Krista’s secretive past. Krista’s parents, who were once TID operatives themselves, hid their family in 1970s California. Sag, who might be a Zodiac team member, is there for some reason, is it coincidence or something more sinister? Current operatives clash with past and future time travelers and their management. Every jump poses physical threats, and they appear to be harming the agents’ health. History cannot be changed, but the future can be. TID needs more agents for an endless list of missions, but some of those are politically motivated. Four nations have chambers for long time jumps. They have hidden features too. Agents are left-handed and provided with local jump devices. Will the agents uncover the truth before it’s too late? Join them in a heart-pounding race through time where the past is never what it seems and the danger is always one step ahead. ![Zodiac ACX Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Zodiac-ACX-Cover-300x300.jpg) ***Zodiac Narrated by Stephen Marsden*** Zodiac is available on [Amazon](https://mybook.to/pbXU) and as an audio book on [Apple](https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/zodiac-t-i-d-part-two-unabridged/id1840926204) and other stores. \[table id=33 /\] **Categories:** Science Fiction, T.I.D Series **Tags:** CIA, FBI, FSB, GRU, History, Science Fiction, SVR, Time Travel **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Science Fiction, Time Travel **Series:** T.I.D **Languages:** English **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Dissemblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/dissemblance/) **Published:** March 26, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** The novel, Dissemblance, is the third part in the Semblance series following on from [Re-Semblance](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/re-semblance/) and the first part, [Semblance of Storms. ](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/semblance-of-storms/)It is an account of more near tragedies and the subsequent consequences.

As a young woman at college, she recalls the events she experienced as a child and young adult. It’s a world where perception often eclipses reality. Unravel the tangled web of a family forever altered by the echoes of past events. The account is set more than a decade after the tumultuous events chronicled in *Semblance of Storms* and *Re-Semblance*. This poignant narrative unfolds through the eyes of Milly, a young girl at that time whose innocence was shattered by the tumult surrounding her. Now a voice that demands to be heard, Milly reflects on the events affecting her family. It features a complex tapestry interwoven with mental illness, the glittering allure of celebrity, and the omnipresent influence of AI and social media. Her tale is not just a recounting of events. It’s a deeply personal exploration of how trust is forged in the shadow of turmoil. How love can bind and sexuality may be challenged. Every memory is a potential threat to her own stability. As Milly navigates the intricacies of her family’s legacy, readers will experience the raw emotional depths of resilience. The fragility of human connection. The persistent question of identity in an increasingly performative world. With every turn of the page, the story challenges us to confront our own perceptions and to discover what it truly means to be a part of a family. However it is constructed. Join Milly on a journey of haunting memories and hopeful revelations. She attempts to unearth the power of vulnerability in a landscape where trust is hard to find and many seek to harm. Will she find the strength to face her past and redefine her present, or will the conflations and lies of life continue to shape her path? ![Dissemblance Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Dissemblance-Kindle-Cover-197x300.jpg) \[table id=36 /\] **Categories:** Audio Books, General Fiction, Semblance Series **Tags:** General Fiction, Police **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** General Fiction **Series:** Semblance **Languages:** English **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Sails](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/sails/) **Published:** July 12, 2024 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** [Sails](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/sails/) is the third part of the [Sailing Clear Series](https://phenweb.co.uk/?gsb_series=sailing-clear).

Friends from across the Atlantic who like to meddle continue to track and follow the shadowy financing team supporting the UK’s security services. They assured the UK they would not, but disparate agencies in the USA have different agendas. Michelle and Hugh Turnbill are now married. They still manage MI5 and MI6’s clandestine funds. They occasionally sail around the Greek Islands with the Harper sisters or stay at their new house in Mykonos. They desire a normal life but are aware that caution must still be exercised, and complacency avoided. A Treasury probe investigating missing funds puts their way of life and lives in danger. An unhappy assistant in the Treasury has been leaking information to someone who appears to be a journalist but he is actually sending the reports to Russia. The Russian security services launch an urgent investigation and may well take more direct action. They discover names and some photos. Information previously covered up by a Russian general. MI6 needs to protect the system, but some elements still want more control. Kathrine commences an operation to protect them. One of her old assets needs to escape Russia. Russian forces are closing in and are keeping an eye on the Treasury. MI5 is keeping an eye on them in an effort to identify the source of the Russian information. The finance team needs to dodge all the other teams trying to take control of them and the money. ![Sails Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Sails-Cover-188x300.jpg) ![Sails ACX Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sails-ACX-Cover-300x300.jpg) Sails is available at [Amazon](https://mybook.to/9Q32rN7) \[table id=26 /\] **Categories:** Audio Books, Sailing Clear Series, Thrillers **Tags:** CIA, Crime, MI5, MI6, Spies **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Spy Thriller, Thriller **Series:** Sailing Clear **Languages:** English **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Sail Chains](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/sail-chains/) **Published:** July 12, 2024 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** [Sail Chains](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/sail-chains/) is the second part of the [Sailing Clear Series.](https://phenweb.co.uk/?gsb_series=sailing-clear) Part One is [Sailing Clear,](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/sailing-clear/) which precedes this book.

He now has another task. Effi Miani has been undercover in the Middle east but is needed for the same operation. Together they must find Bravo-One-One who is the highest priority target for MI6. He is believed to be building a chemical weapon in Northwest Pakistan. A previous MI6 operation has already failed. A leak or a traitor inside MI6 may have destroyed that mission, so extra precautions must be taken otherwise this team will also fail.Tom and Effi need a faultless back story before embarking on their mission. The operation needs financing and a cover story. The help of a former disgraced MI6 officer, Michelle Houston, and her lover, Hugh Turnbill, is sought. They successfully control the laundering of black funds for the security services whilst sailing clear of the security services. Some of the MI6 leadership wants to gain direct control of the money and the couple, despite previous agreements. They want that control regardless of the risks to the operations in Pakistan. They think they may get leverage using two former teenage runaways connected to the couple.The hunt for whoever leaked the information continues. Suspicions are raised. The internal security team needs to prevent the traitor putting the financiers and the operation at risk. An MI5 team is on the trail of a suspicious Saudi diplomat. He may be connected to Bravo-One-One. Closed missions should not be re-opened. The NSA and GCHQ are monitoring and tracing communications using secret programmes and techniques, but some secrets should not be shared with allies. ![Sail Chains Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/sail-chains-cover-188x300.jpg) ![Sail Chains Audio](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sail-Chains-ACX-Cover-1-300x300.jpg) Sail Chains is available at [Amazon](https://mybook.to/82Y9) \[table id=22 /\] **Categories:** Audio Books, Sailing Clear Series, Thrillers **Tags:** CIA, Met, MI5, MI6, Special Branch, Spies **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Spy Thriller, Thriller **Series:** Sailing Clear **Languages:** English **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Sailing Clear](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/sailing-clear/) **Published:** July 12, 2024 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** [Sailing Clear](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/sailing-clear/) is the first part of the [series.](https://phenweb.co.uk/?gsb_series=sailing-clear) Missing girls, missing money, missing man, luxury motor yachts and the people chasing them.

If only her mom, wouldn’t give confusing messages on what she wants; possibly him. A family friend and lawyer will help, as he always has done but there are secrets in his past too.

As with Harvest Girl the book will be published on Kindle and possibly made available as an audio book. The stories include some from mis-remembered or just made up elements of my life with a huge dose of artistic license thrown in. Real names have been changed. As the the books intended dedication says: ## Dedication This book wouldn’t exist without memory, however false or misunderstood. My heartfelt thanks to the friends and acquaintances who, by their very existence, unknowingly helped with the production. The legal copyright notice requires a statement along the lines of… ***‘All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.’*** Actually, there are several based on real people, but there is a huge part of artistic licence applied. All the names have been changed to protect the innocent, misjudged, misidentified, or just made-up. Characters have been merged. Scenes have been extended and merged. New stories have been created from seemingly thin air. Not AI! Thus, this work is fiction; most of it is, so only some of this happened. ‘***All the right parts, just not necessarily in the right order,’*** to misquote [Eric Morecambe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Morecambe). If anyone from my past is offended, upset, or wants legal redress, only you and I know what really happened. It was a very long time ago. If you do want legal action, good luck.

Agora, ele tem outra tarefa. Effi Miani esteve infiltrada no Oriente Médio, mas é necessária para a mesma operação. Juntos, eles devem encontrar Bravo-Um-Um, o alvo de mais alta prioridade para o MI6. Acredita-se que ele esteja construindo uma arma química no noroeste do Paquistão. Uma operação anterior do MI6 já falhou. Um vazamento ou um traidor dentro do MI6 pode ter comprometido essa missão, então medidas extras de precaução devem ser tomadas, caso contrário, essa equipe também falhará. Tom e Effi precisam de um histórico impecável antes de embarcar na missão. A operação precisa de financiamento e uma história de cobertura. A ajuda da ex-agente desgraçada do MI6, Michelle Houston, e de seu amante, Hugh Turnbill, é solicitada. Eles controlam com sucesso a lavagem de fundos secretos para os serviços de segurança, enquanto se mantêm à margem do próprio MI6. Parte da liderança do MI6 quer assumir o controle direto do dinheiro e do casal, apesar dos acordos anteriores. Eles querem esse controle independentemente dos riscos para as operações no Paquistão. Acreditam que podem obter vantagem utilizando dois ex-fugitivos adolescentes ligados ao casal. A caça a quem vazou as informações continua. Suspeitas são levantadas. A equipe de segurança interna precisa impedir que o traidor coloque em risco os financiadores e a operação. Uma equipe do MI5 está na trilha de um diplomata saudita suspeito, que pode estar ligado a Bravo-Um-Um. Missões encerradas não devem ser reabertas. A NSA e o Governo estão monitorando e rastreando comunicações usando programas e técnicas secretas, mas alguns segredos não devem ser compartilhados com aliados. ## Navegando Claro / Navegando Limpo - [Navegando Claro]() - Correntes de Vela – Este livro - [Velas](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/velas/) - [Nó Náutico](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/no-nautico/) ![Correntes de Velas - Sail Chains - Port](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Sail-Chains-Cover-Port-188x300.jpg) **Categories:** Português, Thrillers, Translation **Tags:** CIA, MI5, MI6, Spies **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** Spy Thriller, Thriller **Series:** Navegando Claro **Languages:** Portuguese **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Navegando Claro](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/navegando-claro/) **Published:** March 13, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Navegando Claro, é o primeiro livro da série com o mesmo nome.

Seus dois primeiros livros, de sucesso, lhe renderam fama, alguma fortuna e disputas com o seu pai, que está em estado de saúde terminal. Ele quer que o filho o ajude com a meia-irmã. Se ao menos a mãe dela não desse mensagens confusas sobre o que ela quer; possivelmente ele. Um amigo da família e um advogado o ajudarão, como ele sempre fez, mas também há segredos em seu passado. Seu novo livro será uma história de um garoto que conhece uma garota, em seu estilo elaborado e descritivo de sempre. Seu agente quer que ele o produza em breve, mas ele sofre pressões de seus novos investidores. Pode haver um contrato para um filme a ser negociado. O novo investidor é representado por uma mulher atraente, infame por outros motivos. Sua editora quer que ele termine o livro para que ela possa impedir que sua editora peça o adiantamento. Ela espera que ele tenha escrito algo tão bom quanto seu primeiro livro publicado. Ele também espera. Ele precisa se concentrar em escrever este livro, não em rascunhar mais nada. Velhos perdidos e possíveis novos amores e desejos o distraem. O estilo de vida praiano o distrai, assim como os visitantes pós-pandemia. Justamente quando ele começa a progredir nos últimos capítulos, um furacão se aproxima de sua casa na Carolina do Norte. Se ele for visitar o pai, outra tempestade pode o aguardar em Houston. Seu vizinho e a família dele adicionam mais complicações e segredos que precisam ser escondidos ou evitados, especialmente do FBI. ![A Iminência de Uma Tempestade Port Semblance Cover](https://phenweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/A-Iminencia-de-Uma-Tempestade-Semblance-of-Storms-Port-197x300.jpg) ## Livros em Português Outros l[ivros em português podem ser encontrados aqui](https://phenweb.co.uk/the-books-2/books-in-portuguese-livros-em-portugues/) **Categories:** Português, Translation **Tags:** FBI, General Fiction, Memory **Authors:** Philip G Henley **Genres:** General Fiction **Series:** Semelhança **Languages:** Portuguese **Publishers:** Phenweb Publishing --- ### [Minor Temporal Adjustment](https://phenweb.co.uk/books/minor-temporal-adjustment/) **Published:** July 6, 2025 **Author:** Philip G Henley **Content:** Minor Temporal Adjustment, is this just a bad dream or something worse?

Zodiaco es la segunda parte de TID. Traducido por [Alberto Sio](https://www.babelcube.com/user/alberto-sio) ## Descripción del Zodíaco El tiempo es a la vez aliado y enemigo cuando los agentes de TID Brett Hostam y Krista Lysander saltan al pasado. ¿Su misión? Para desenterrar verdades ocultas enterradas en el caos que condujo al 11 de septiembre. El TID ruso tiene sus propios operativos, incluido un equipo especializado en GRU llamado Zodiac. ¿Por qué están en Estados Unidos? Los agentes tienen que enfrentarse al enigmático equipo ruso GRU conocido como Zodiac. Acechan en las sombras del presente, pero con extraños vínculos con el pasado secreto de Krista. Los padres de Krista, que alguna vez fueron operativos de TID, escondieron a su familia en la década de 1970 en California. Sag, que podría ser un miembro del equipo del Zodiaco, está allí por alguna razón, ¿es una coincidencia o algo más siniestro? Los operativos actuales chocan con los viajeros del tiempo pasados y futuros y sus gerentes. Cada salto supone una amenaza física, y parecen estar dañando la salud de los agentes. La historia no se puede cambiar, pero el futuro sí. TID necesita más agentes para una lista interminable de misiones, pero algunas de ellas tienen motivaciones políticas. Cuatro naciones tienen cámaras para saltos de tiempo largos. También tienen características ocultas. Los agentes son zurdos y están provistos de dispositivos de salto locales. ¿Descubrirán los agentes la verdad antes de que sea demasiado tarde? Únete a ellos en una trepidante carrera a través del tiempo en la que el pasado nunca es lo que parece y el peligro siempre va un paso por delante. ## Disponibilidad del Zodiaco Zodiac estará disponible en Amazon, Apple, Kindle y otros minoristas como libro electrónico.
