The Truth About Westminster
Dr Patrick Dixon - Books
Entire text online - browse it now for free This important book takes us behind the sleaze headlines to ask what life is really like at Westminster, the mother of all Parliaments? Inside 10 Downing Street on the first day of research, Dr Dixon found that he had open access to the heart of power.
He swiftly found himself in battles with libel lawyers and powerful figures in public life who feared disclosure. Thousands of pounds later, with a new publisher, "The Truth about Westminster" finally rolled off the presses.
One former Minister said:
"In a dictatorship I would have been bumped off - I knew too much. Instead I was sacked"
"MPs confessed things to me that made my hair stand on end, The rot is deep and a change of government won't be enough to root it all out."
"Few MPs are corrupt but the system itself is corrupting, and encourages secrecy together with abuse of power. Most people regard politicians with contempt. Unless Westminster thoroughly reforms itself the place will die, losing powers to on the one hand and to Scottish and other regional assemblies on the other."

The Island of Bolay

Theft of lethal GM germs from Porton Down "impossible to prevent" Press Release: a leading authority on gene technology warns in a new thriller about terrorist attack using GM biological weapons stolen from military facilities such as Porton Down. , author of , published by Harper Collins, said:
"Porton Down is very insecure and always will be. It's impossible to prevent thefts by staff, minute samples of biological warfare viruses or bacteria, hidden in tiny sealed glass or plastic containers. You would need to strip search and X-ray every worker at the end of every day - and even this would fail to detect plastic, or samples hidden in shoes, buttons, the lining of clothing, glasses, pens, watches or anywhere else. Biological Warfare facilities in other countries are also very unsafe."GM biological weapons of mass destruction are the ultimate terrorist weapon. Easy to transport, capable of paralyzing a nation through fear.
"It's likely that some Porton Down biotech weapons currently being tested were themselves stolen from other laboratories - how can you develop protection against unknown agents?An underground market exists for every other weaponry. There is no doubt that it exists already for germ warfare agents - with MOD and the Pentagon major buyers to keep others out."
"Much greater efforts are needed to get nations to halt further development of these technologies."

Relationships, Singles, Dating, Marriage, Divorce, Child Welfare
This 275 page free online book on relationships, dating, marriage, children, child welfare, family life, singles, the sexual revolution, cohabitation, by Dr Patrick Dixon, made banner headlines on publication by Hodder in 1995. Backed by hundreds of references, many of which are scientific papers, it questions the sustainability of current trends regarding dating, relationships, marriage, divorce and child welfare. The book correctly anticipated the shift in government thinking - whether left or right wing.
Huge media coverage followed launch of this book. Along with the social, emotional and health costs, Patrick Dixon has actually calculated the financial price of modern morals, with help from the UK government's Actuary Department. He argues that in some parts of Western society, the pendulum is swinging back so fast towards traditional values that government policy is often totally out of step with popular thinking.
