Liverpool born poet and writer Michael Walsh traces his Liverpool roots back to 1865. This was the year his Irish great-grandmother arrived in the Second City of Empire. His parents were born at the turn of what was to become the most tumultuous century in history. Michael's father, Patrick, fought in three major conflicts before reaching his fortieth birthday. His mother, Kathleen, was a former nun turned gun-running renegade.
On leaving school at 15 years of age, Michael spent 12 weeks at the Merchant Navy School for Sailors in Sharpness, Gloucestershire. During his years at sea, he was to visit and work in over 60 countries.
The journalist and broadcaster since provided articles and columns for numerous magazines and international news media. In 2011 he was awarded Writer of the Year by the publishers of Euro Weekly News, Europe's highest-circulation newspaper of its kind. He has authored, edited and ghosted over 70 book titles.
It was once believed that the United States was an ideal country for European immigrants. However, recently more and more Americans are moving to Europe. This is a relatively new phenomenon, so there are no exact statistics yet, but an emerging trend can already be identified.
Non-European migrants are being forced on citizens across Germany despite the will of voters. Germans keep voting against migrants in various referendums in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but leaders in the state consistently respond by vowing to bring migrants into their towns and cities anyway. In the latest case, an overwhelming 91.4 percent of Germans living in Grevesmühle voted in a referendum against a container village, but the mayor says that he will push to move in migrant tents despite the vote.
With its staggering $692 billion defence (war) budget, the American arms industry constitutes 43% of the world’s military expenditure. This is not far behind the value of Britain and Russia’s combined export trade. The financial resources and political clout exercised by this military machine’s lobbying apparatus dwarf many national interests and economies. These conglomerates, like the pharmaceutical industries, are far more powerful and influential than many governments.
The end of World War Two coincided with the bouncing baby birth of a thriving American middle class. Most Western Europeans born after the Second World War were weaned on the canned products of the American entertainment industry. Many in Europe aspired to reach American living standards and to share their abundant confidence upon which it seemed the sun would never set. What happened?
A politically correct ruling of psychiatric illness has often saved suspects from standing trial in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and the woke United Kingdom. Despite 34-year-old Berhan S. breaking into the Protestant school in the multicultural Berlin neighbourhood of Neukölln and stabbing two little girls, his crime will go unpunished.
Michael Walsh is arguably the most influential poet of the 21st Century. At the turn of the millennium, the British-born Irish historian and journalist was said to be the most popular contemporary bard of the 20th Century.
India became the most common country of origin for foreign mothers in Britain. Almost a third of new babies registered in England and Wales last year were born to foreign mothers, the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published on Thursday revealed.
A Ukrainian teenager has been left disfigured for life after protecting minors in a violent robbery by a 40-strong gang of out-of-control African marauders. The victim’s mother told an Italian newspaper how her son fled his homeland only to find war in Italy.
The current crop of European Union government policies are ‘more problematic’ than previous crises: The family firm is 500 years old, but can it survive Germany’s current government?
Lawmakers argue that OnlyFans profits could help fund the military: Lawmakers in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine announced on Friday that they have collected enough signatures for a bill that would decriminalize the production of pornography including paedophilic images. The lead sponsor of the proposal, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, claims that the current laws encourage corruption and that legalizing porn could help raise funds for the military.
