Two landmark Supreme Court rulings took centre stage in the second week of November this year, though you wouldn’t actually know it from the limited news coverage. The first ( 12 th  November 2025 ) was the written ruling regarding whether or not the Human Rights of David Daly and Andrew Keir were breached in their trials on sexual offences. First heard in March of this year, it took the court 8 months to publish its ruling and though it was acknowledged that current practice

Some might be familiar with the very first piece I wrote on the subject of false allegations . Written 7 years after my husband’s initial arrest, 6 years after a summons to trial in Scotland was not called and the claims deemed ‘not a crime’ in the Sheriff Court in Scotland and 3 years after his formal acquittal of 13 charges in the Crown Court in England, it was the first step to where I am today in terms of ‘ Speaking Up and Speaking Out’ (another piece I wrote in 2023).

The ability to speak didn’t grant me the right to say whatever I wanted however I wanted to say it, though comp

"Off with his head!" (The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland) When Prince William married Catherine Middleton in 2011 I was living in the USA. I had several interesting conversations with people at the time, once being asked if I had an invitation to the wedding and the other, more lengthy, where an elderly woman insisted that the wedding marked the beginning of Prince Charles being ousted from the Royal Family, and that the Late Queen had plans in place to abdicate and

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew When the Ottoman Empire collapsed after the First World War, the dynasty scattered and went into exile or hiding, its ancestors still living under the radar in Turkey and around the modern middle-east; ditto for the Tsar’s wider family following the immediate executions after the communist Russian Revolution in 1917. Postmodern revolutions and coups happen in far more technologised, bloodless ways, but the transition
