Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s deputy and right hand man, flew to Scotland on a mysterious peace mission in 1941, which has never been convincingly explained, to meet unidentified politicians who wanted to end the war. The truth has been covered up for generations because to reveal it would somehow undermine the honour and constitutional fabric of the United Kingdom. Who was plotting against Churchill? What were the peace terms on offer? What happened to Hess? Was he killed in the War? Was the prisoner in Spandau a double?
There are many questions to which in the modern day one man, Saul Benedict has all the answers, because his parents were players in the drama involving Churchill, Hitler, leading politicians and an important Royal. Saul is an author and declares his intention to write a book to reveal all, but he is shot dead, apparently accidentally by a poacher. But was it an accident? Rick Coleman, an investigative journalist, determines to find out. Taking place in the modern day but with flashback chapters which gradually unfold the hidden secrets, the novel is a fast moving and compelling read

This will be a short blog to make one fundamental point. If there is a taxpayer funded service, activity or responsibility involving the welfare, health, education, well-being, security or safety of the public, public servants, young adults, prisoners, patients or detainees of any kind, then it is utterly wrong to give it to the private sector to fulfill it and in so doing engage costs which reward shareholders. That is plain wrong from any rational moral standpoint not driven by greed. It is also plain wrong for the custodian of public money, the government, to offload its responsibilities to a third party, since it is not only craven , but it is also undemocratic.
