The Intelligent Punter's Guide to the 2013 USPGA golf championship

IT'S TIME for the fourth and final golfing Major of the year. This year's USPGA championship is being held for the third time on the East Course at the Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, New York, where a field of 156 will tee off today.

Finding the winner is a daunting task, but if we keep in mind certain key factors, we can narrow down the field to those worth an each-way bet.

In memoriam James Beck: the Dad's Army star cut off in his prime

This piece of mine appears in today's Daily Telegraph

James Beck, aka Private Walker, died 40 years ago today. Neil Clark pays tribute

On 6 August 1973, James Beck, who played the Cockney spiv Private Walker in Dad’s Army, died at the age of 44. Ironically, he was the first member of the predominantly elderly ensemble to die. A highly accomplished actor, it seemed that he was set for a successful career as a character player. However, an addiction to alcohol cost him his life.

Iraq bloodshed & jailbreak 'situation going from bad to worse'

Another week of murder and mayhem in Iraq, the country which the US-led 'coalition' 'liberated' in 2003.
Over 700 people have been killed in Iraq so far this month-(over 1,000 were killed in May)- yet for the neocons and 'liberal interventionists' who egged on the illegal invasion of 2003, this is not news.  The neocons couldn't stop talking about Iraq in the lead-up to the war, about how Saddam Hussein possessed 'WMDs' and of the ' links' he had with al-Qaeda; now they never mention Iraq. I wonder why?
Above you can watch a new interview with me on RT on the latest situation in Iraq and why Bush, Blair and the neocons must be held responsible for the carnage which has gone on there since the invasion of 2003.
