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.

According to Björn Höcke, a prominent member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, “We raised our children as sheep and brought wolves into the country.”
When the German armed forces invaded the USSR on June 22, 1941, Berlin described the offensive as pre-emptive in the face of imminent Soviet aggression. The claim was generally dismissed as Nazi propaganda.

Edward Snowden called the Biden regime’s attempt to strengthen charges against Julian Assange a ‘historic scandal’, Newsweek reports.

The Christian prayer might offend those suffering in an ‘oppressively patriarchal’ world, the Archbishop of York has claimed.
