WHAT do the TV programmes Columbo, Murder She Wrote, Vera, Midsomer Murders, Bergerac and the BBC Brexit obsessed news have in common.

They are all for cures for insomniacs!

Moving on, much as I dislike agreeing with Donald Trump he is right on three points.

He said each European country should take responsibility for captured Islamic State 'fighters' and try them in court and deal with them accordingly, now that the conflict in Syria is almost over, thanks to the US and my friends the Kurds.

Or do we set them free, possibly to regroup. Most of them are serious criminals! More on that next time.

He also said on France and Germany wanting a European Army, was it not these two countries who tried to go for World Domination?

Germany in World War One and France in two Napoleonic wars and more thereafter.

He also does not believe that the Pakistan Government did not know that Osama Bin Laden was hiding there. I spoke to a Muslim Pakistani friend of mine and he said of course they knew but someone was getting well paid.

I would go further. I think they were helping him all the time.

It took nine months of painstaking work by a slip of a girl (CIA) and information from tortured prisoners to track him down.

The Navy Seals who went in were not there to capture him but to kill him and dispose of the body.

See the film Zero Dark Thirty, a compound with 12 foot walls and armed guards? Who did the Pakistanis think was there? Elvis or the Prophet Mohammed?
