The problem with historical 'science' (as opposed to operational science, in which experiments can be repeated in a controlled environment) is the basically religious acceptance of 'scientific' dogma by those in the scientific community. Science, as I always understood it, was a search to...

After the stunts they pulled during the pandemic? I wouldn't trust them as far as I could thrown them.

Ken is an (inter)national treasure. What a great write-up in the Courier, and what amazing tales he has to share of his many adventures. Guy Ritchie ought to pay him a handsome sum for the screen rights to The Cast Iron Certainty and turn it into a film or series.

What is the general cost of his suits?
