Son of Thomas Denman, the first Lord Denman (1779–1854), Lord Chief Justice he entered into the British Royal Navy on the 7 April 1823. By 9 March 1831, he was promoted to Lieutenant.
In 1840 his ship was off the coast of Sierra Leone-Liberia as part of the West African Squadron tasked to end the Slave Trade.
In 1840 the islands in the mouth of the Gallinas River, situated near the present Sierra Leone-Liberia border, formed a principal departure point for slave ships. In November of that year — Sir Richard Doherty, the Governor of Sierra Leone discovered that Prince…
For what it's worth I am going to show a few things that I think will happen in the US in the next four years.
We are going to see prices shoot up especially fuel prices. Biden has already said that Fracking will be banned something that he vehemently denied during his small time on the road and in debates. However, there are many videos of him saying that he will ban it just as there is of Harris saying the same thing.
All fossil fuel will be banned, Biden has already threatened to shut down the Keystone oil pipeline…
Boris tells the EU that the UK could legally invoke Art.16 now, proposes a new deal instead
Yesterday the ongoing saga of UK-EU relations delivered one surprise and one entirely predictable and obvious response. The ‘surprise’ was the radical nature of the UK Government’s latest proposals to the EU. The ‘obvious’ was that the rigid, authoritarian, dictatorial EU continued to be rigid, authoritarian, and dictatorial in their response.
Barely had Lord Frost and the N.I. Secretary Brandon Lewis sat down yesterday after their respective statements to the House of Lords and the House of Commons on the N.I. Protocol, than the EU’s Commissioner and Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič sprang up in Brussels to declare.
We will not agree…
Almost 1,000 British people per day are dying of two diseases — neither are Covid-19
The daily rates of cancer and heart disease are 34 times higher than the rate due to Covid
Death rates ‘with Covid’ have been rising again, albeit from a very low base. The latest 7-day average of deaths is 37.6 per day. I have reviewed the same data doctors can see when they read their journal ‘The Lancet’ and once again I present Covid-19 deaths in proportion and in context.
I know from the Office for National Statistics that the number of ‘Covid deaths’ is always overstated. In the last four weeks for which data is available, the ONS says the number of deaths ‘due to Covid’ (i.e. with Covid as the underlying cause of death) was an…
This is a story of how a secretive Ofcom team ‘off-aired’ the questioning of ‘official’ Covid-19 rules, this small number of unnamed bureaucrats make Orwell’s Big Brother sound tame.
Some 18 months after the Coronavirus hit our shores, we are beginning to see signs that the authorised Covid narratives are finally being questioned by our media. In today’s Sunday Telegraph, for example, a scientist advising SAGE on ventilation requirements in supermarkets has openly ridiculed the wearing of face masks, describing them as no more than “comfort blankets” that do little to reduce the spread of Covid particles. (See below.) It will be interesting to see if Dr Axon is invited onto the BBC to discuss this.
TODAY I turn my own High Definition cameras onto Ofcom, the independent Government…
The truth of the matter is the average Brit barely pollutes the planet’s air at all, compared to the rest of the world. We Brits aren’t the problem — we are only the world’s 65th CO2 gas emitter, per capita
We Brits have a right to know this because in the next few years our lives are going to change beyond recognition all in the name of climate change and all of us are going to pay for that change and it's going to leave everyone with less money in our purses and wallets.
Yesterday in Parliament the Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, revealed the Government’s plans for carbon-neutral transport in the post-Covid world. If you ever want to leave your home in the future — and are allowed to do so by the Government — this affects you.
I am going to provide some basic but vital information in order to set the backdrop to this contentious issue. …
Macron doctrine of “Nothing is negotiable, everything is applicable” is derided as “a kind of blindness”
Yesterday in the House of Commons a motion was debated on the Northern Ireland Protocol, proposed by Sir Bernard Jenkin MP and supported by many senior MPs on the Conservative and DUP benches. At 3.13 pm the Deputy Speaker declared the motion “resolved” (agreed).
“We will not have long to wait” for action on N.I. Protocol
Government accepts this is “the overwhelming mood of this House”, supports backbench motion
In emphatic tones — at times almost combative — Government Minister Penny Mordaunt replied for the Government, supporting the motion and promising “colleagues will not have long to wait”.
Earlier in the House of Lords, Lord Frost spoke to the Ireland/Northern Ireland Sub-Committee, saying:
“I think it’s fair to say there are probably 20 or more…
UK misses out on its share of £1.1bn of waived fines, which would have reduced UK ‘divorce bill’
If these car manufacturers had been British, would the EU have exercised the same leniency? I doubt it, in fact I know they would not have shown any.
This story is NOT about the first ‘emissions scandal’, where some German car companies are alleged to have deliberately falsified the emissions data for their new diesel cars.
Legal cases are still being pursued across Europe in regard to that.
What follows is on top of that scandal, and was announced in Brussels yesterday
Summary details of a second diesel emissions scandal involving exclusively German car manufacturers were released by the EU Commission in Brussels yesterday.
A settlement has been reached between the German-led EU Commission and German car-makers, involving eye-watering sums — however, part of the deal involves the EU either waiving fines completely or reducing them significantly. …
Yet the EU President ignores Covid and focuses on LGBTQi rights, in a speech to EU Parliament.

Yesterday, ignoring Covid completely, EU Commission President von der Leyen told the EU Parliament:-
“No item on the agenda was as important as our debate on a topic that goes to the core of who we are: Our values. Heads of State and Government had a very personal and emotional discussion about the new Hungarian law.”
Yesterday in Strasbourg the EU Commission President Ursula von…
At least the EU has only shown the Danes the yellow card — it can’t afford to see more players leave the ‘level playing field’
Last night’s Euros semi-final between Italy and Spain was decided in a penalty shoot-out. This evening, England’s Danish opponents in the second semi-final are already facing a penalty shoot-out of their own after committing what the EU Commission deems to be foul play.
For several years Denmark has had a rule limiting the period for which lorries can park in state-owned rest areas to a maximum of 25 hours.
Not unreasonably, the Danes maintain they need this rule to keep their motorway rest areas available to truckers who need them and to ensure they are used for the purposes for…

What is life without a little controversy in it? Quite boring and sterile would be my answer.
