Many thanks to the Daily Express

My thanks to journalist Becky Sheaves for the double page spread in today’s Daily Express about a book I wrote with psychic Dennis McKenzie. It has nine 5-star reviews on Amazon. There is also a huge banner on the front page of the paper promoting the article.

image The paper really sums up Dennis well and refers to some of the cases highlighted in the book, Being the Soham Psychic. It ends with this quote:

“I’m just an ordinary bloke and I hope I’m doing some good with the gift I’ve been given. For me, it’s all about putting myself at the service of others. I truly believe that helping people is, in itself, its own reward.”

I know this is a very divisive topic, but I would ask you to keep an open mind …. until you meet Dennis.

*Btw, Dennis didn’t work with police on the Soham murders as the intro of this article suggests, but was in contact with Holly’s parents Kevin and Nicola Wells. He also worked on many other murder cases and disappearances which baffled police and these are featured in the book, including terrifying gangland killings in Limerick and BTK strangler Dennis Radar, a serial murderer from Wichita, Kansas who bound, tortured and killed his innocent victims.

It’s so chilling and fascinating and I will say it again, Dennis really is an extraordinary man with amazing paranormal powers, and the book describes how in many ways this is a burden for him.

Robert Sturdy, dairy subsidies and over production

Have you been following the latest news about thousands of protesting dairy farmers marching to Luxembourg where EU farm ministers were meeting?

Their concerns were based on the low price of milk, saying it costs more to produce than they can sell it for. Most of the EU’s member states have been pressing for financial aid after the global economic downturn reduced demand, and this has just been agreed.

However, MEP Robert Sturdy has vowed to challenge any attempts to bring back huge EUimage cash subsidies to the crisis hit dairy sector.

As the European Commission announced £255m in aid is to be given to European dairy farmers to help the sector cope with the recent slide in milk prices, Robert has warned that now is not the time for a return to the days of huge EU subsidies.

The EU dairy sector has already received large amounts of support from the European Commission who have offered national governments the option to pay farmers up to £13,800 under a “temporary crisis framework.”

But a majority of EU member states, led by France and Germany, want to see the reinstatement of subsidies to cope with the sector’s problems.

Mr Sturdy, a member of the European Parliament’s Agriculture Committee, said:

“We must be careful that the recent promises of support for EU dairy farmers do not lead us back to the bad old days of inefficient over-production at the expense of our region’s taxpayers and consumers.

“While I sympathise with the plight of dairy farmers, milk prices are showing signs of recovery and we might well be over the worst of the crisis.

“Europe’s dairy farmers should be preparing for a future quota free milk sector, not calling for short term fixes that will ultimately lead to more problems for them in the long term.

“I want to see a viable and competitive European dairy sector, one that can stand on its on two feet, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by a free global market.”
