John Major succeeded Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister, but his initial popularity soon faded with the devaluation of the sterling, his achievement at Maastricht which brought division to his party and he oversaw the longest recession since WW2.

When Rosina Ali, an Afghan refugee, accepted the invitation of the Home Security Team to be the bait for trapping a gang of people-trafficking modern-day slavers, she had no idea she would end up in the same Norfolk woods as a deluded ex Royal Marine determined to avenge the death of his wife during Covid. A fatality in the woods sparks further investigation into other names on the Wish Dead List. It is now a race to save the life of the Prime Minister, on the one hand, or assassinate him, on the other. John Wells is the man with a personal vendetta against everyone from the local GP's receptionist through to the Prime Minister, having taken inspiration from the killer of the only British PM, Spencer Percival in 1812, to be assassinated whilst in office. Will he become the modern-day John Bellingham?

This book shakes the core of Christian belief. It challenged the uncompromising views of the 19th century Catholic Church, put its author in jail, and was endorsed by Charles Darwin. It's a collection of sermons delivered by reverend Robert Taylor, establishing that Christianity is based on older religions, and that its rituals are descended from ancient Egyptian and pagan practices. It includes an astronomical introduction to Taylor's theories, and a sketch of his tumultuous life. Taylor reveals the real purpose of Jesus and the apostles, providing proof that they're symbols of astronomical phenomena. Jesus being a symbol of the sun, and the twelve apostles of the twelve zodiac signs. He then goes on to unveil secrets about the origin and practices of freemasonry in four lectures. Taylor debated with and beat virtually everyone at the time with the contents of this book. You may find his radical views eye-opening to the uncanny origins of Christianity and religion, but only if you're open-minded enough. You may otherwise find them offensive and blasphemous."... Throwing some doubt on the reality even of the existence in flesh and blood of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, for here on the windows of Trinity are they represented as emblems of the seasons, and of these seasons too as they were five thousand years ago."

First published in 1978. Britain’s unions were blamed by many people for the country’s post-war economic decline. Portrayed as greedy wreckers who wanted to run the country, they had become scapegoats for the state of the nation. This anatomy of Britain’s diverse and complex trade union movement sets out to question that widespread opinion. The main argument advanced in the study is that unions in Britain were too weak, not too strong. From the 1940s until the 1970s, Robert Taylor believes, they had failed to achieve the constructive influence over British society that union movements elsewhere in western Europe had managed to gain. Considering the major and medium-sized unions separately, he examines the sudden and rapid growth of unionisation in Britain, the structure of the unions, their effectiveness, the influence they had, their international record, and the nature of trade union democracy.

In 1831, Reverend Robert Taylor, formerly an ordained priest in the Church of England, was indicted for blasphemy and sentenced to serve two years in prison for challenging the rigid religious dogma of his time. His crime: daring to renounce the accepted teachings of the Church and suggest his own educated observations and interpretations about the foundations of Christianity. The Devil's Pulpit collects all of Taylor's original spirited sermons on the topic. Analyzing the roots of the Bible, Taylor explores how pagan sun worship practices, Greek and Roman mythology, ancient Egyptian society, astrology, and astronomy all serve as direct undercurrents of Christianity. With insightful prose and razor-sharp clarity, he explains how many of the New Testament stories essentially parallel--and in fact often appear to merely be reworked versions of--much-older pagan myths and astrological allegories (e.g., twelve disciples of the son of God; twelve Zodiac signs signifying sun worship, etc.). Needless to say, his intimation that Christianity is only a thinly disguised version of paganism met with some powerful religious and cultural resistance at the time. Nevertheless, his compelling interpretations, reasonings, and proofs directly influenced many of the most forward-thinking minds of his generation, including a young Charles Darwin, among others. Today, The Devil's Pulpit remains a deeply disturbing classic work of doctrinal dissidence.
