Tears of Love


Book Description

Everybody wants freedom. Every nation wants freedom. Every organisation wants freedom. The press wants freedom. From the Garden of Eden to the present day, the quest for freedom continues unabated. Yet no one has been able to define what freedom really is. That makes freedom subjective to individual or societal perception. The British Press, one of the freest and most powerful in the world has its own perception of freedom. And when professed press freedom colludes with perceived society freedom in the climate of political correctness, there can only be one result. The result is what this book is all about and makes it a must-read book for everyone because the British media has the power to influence and alter your perception. We know that today’s world thrives on information. And the speed of information flow is what makes today’s world a global village. The British media has been at the forefront of global information and has its tentacles spread all over the world. However its world view is solely a reflection of British society. Thus a globalised world is cocooned into British societal values and norms. So somehow you are affected by the freedom experiment originating from Britain.

The Tower of London


Book Description

The Tower of London was not simply a fortress: It was at various times a royal palace, a state prison, the home of the Mint, the treasury for the Crown Jewels, a repository for state papers, and an observatory. Since lions were considered a suitable gift for royalty, one tower - the Lion Tower - was a menagerie. Many historic events, stately and ceremonial, pathetic or dreadful – from the murder of King Edward IV’s young sons to the beheadings of Henry VIII’s queens to the imprisonment of Elizabeth I – took place in the Tower. It was customary for kings and queens to spend the night, or a few days, in these apartments before their coronation; from there they proceeded to Westminster. Charles II’s was the last; after that, the royal lodgings fell into disuse and were ultimately abandoned.
