When the Second World War ended in 1945, the Government's propaganda offensive was only just beginning. But now its target was the British people. The Ministry of Spin tells the story of how the post-war Labour government contrived to retain, in secret, much of the wartime Ministry Of Information throughout the whole of their term of office from 1945-1951. How they buried this powerful propaganda role deep in Whitehall. And how they turned these wartime propaganda powers on the British Parliament, media and people in order to push through their political programme. Far from ending the Ministry Of Information, Labour transformed it into a virtual Ministry of Spin - a clandestine propaganda department that grew in size and power throughout the late 1940s until it was larger and even more powerful than the wartime Ministry had been at the peak of its influence.

Wednesday June 8, 1814 was a blazing hot day. London's Guildhall was crowded and stifling, its courtroom packed to overflowing, as the public flocked to witness the most spectacular trial of the decade: The King Against Charles Random De Berenger And Others. It was the "others" they had come to see. Standing in the dock, accused of the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the London Stock Exchange, was Lord Cochrane - one of the most daring and popular naval captains of the Napoleonic war, and Member of Parliament for Westminster. The multi-million pound fraud had been committed when a fake messenger from France, "Colonel De Bourg", landed at Dover and sent dispatches to the Admiralty claiming ...
Compelling evidence that the most important assumptions on which Darwinism rests are scientifically wrong. The controversial best-seller that sent Oxford University and Nature magazine into a frenzy. Shattering the Myths of Darwinism exposes the gaping holes in an ideology that has reigned unchallenged over the scientific world for a century. Darwinism is considered to be hard fact, the only acceptable explanation for the formation of life on Earth, but with keen insight and objectivity Richard Milton reveals that the theory totters atop a shambles of outdated and circumstantial evidence which in any less controversial field would have been questioned long ago. Sticking to the facts at hand and tackling a vast array of topics, Shattering the Myths of Darwinism offers compelling evidence that the theory of evolution has become an act of faith rather than a functioning science, and that not until the scientific method is applied to it and the right questions are asked will we ever get true answers to the mystery of life on Earth.
