Well there are always two sides to every story, but on this occasion you can have a third, all free of charge, no donations required, no support group needed, just my ten penny's worth.

As requested by Mervyn in the comments of the previous post, Here I go...

I can indeed confirm that I know what Mervyn is currently working on and have been copied in on some of the documents and correspondence from individuals going back to 1959. The trio are all real people as is Caroline Brooks and they all go back together a considerable amount of time. Like Malcolm Smith who calls himself Peter Moore, Mervyn once used the name John England for his radio work, there's nothing unusual with that as most anoraks should be keenly aware of. Mervyn & I have never met in person or spoken in person and indeed we are hundreds of miles apart.

I tend to agree with his opinion that the current version of Radio Caroline has nothing to do with the original 1964 - 67/8 radio station. I personally think the current version should distance itself from Ronan O'Rahilly for their own self interest and stop parroting the myth of Caroline's name being based on Caroline Kennedy. If you have read Lyn Gilbert's book and Andy Archer's lengthy article in a 1970's Freewave magazine (previously featured here), then hopefully any rose tinted views of Ronan will have been replaced by a more accurate understanding of how he operated and took advantage of others.

Was he any different in the 1960's? Well who he mixed with might answer that question, but I will leave that for the publication of Dial 999 For Caroline.

Just to be clear I have no personal axe to grind with Malcolm who I know has worked tirelessly for his radio station for many years. I don't personally listen anymore so am not inclined to comment beyond that. Perhaps Mervyn could lower the rhetoric towards Malcolm but that will be his choice, we are all getting along in age now and old and wise enough to decide for ourselves what we choose to do.

I will state again my own personal motivation is to understand what actually happened in the creation of offshore radio as this considerably shaped my growing up and who I am today. If I was fed a load of nonsense, half truths or simply got it all wrong, then I would like to know. That's all, it's not complicated, however as an afterthought perhaps you dear reader could contribute to this websites forthcoming fundraiser. £10 a month will gain you a behind the scenes look at my computer and a tea shirt with some brands name on it!  

A Nice Clickbait title for this video as I know hundreds of regular visitors here are Anoraks who loved the North sea radio era and might just be attracted by that alone. That said it's an accurate description and it's all happening near Radio Waddenzee's old haunt. A couple of other videos included about the weather for good measure, just out of interest how are you coping with this years Global Warming summer weather in the UK & Holland? Oh no it's started raining again, sorry I have got to go and put up the sun parasol to stop the plants getting drowned for the third time today........

Or even conspiracy theorists! The CIA devised the term conspiracy theory to deflect against those who challenged the official narrative regarding the assassination of JFK in 1963. Ever since then many many docile morons have fallen into the main stream media trap that a theory about possible conspiracies must be madness / bad / lies etc.

Anyway our lowest unique visitors per day was around sixty, so NO this site will not change the world. That said we are doing well over that these days and interestingly I know that most of those on the image above come here!! (Never let anyone have access to your IP address - use a VPN or TOR or both, The pirate forums leak like nobodies business).

Has anyone ever noticed that it's always the trolls who call over people trolls. So keep on with your double standards, keep on telling yourselves I am Mervyn's side kick, be as rude as you like, if the real world frightens you keep listening to old tapes of bygone days or the watered down version of Ronan's 70's & 80's cash machine, it matters not in the grand scheme of things. Have fun oldies and keep on thinking free... (or at least start).  - Mike Wilson

 

Part 90,051,132 of our ongoing series 'But Seriously It Cant Get Any Worse?' Next week we will feature your 'Top Ten Hilarious Nuclear Accidents Of The 20th Century', stay tuned it's gonna be an absolute party!!!

and in another news what a wonderful world the mainstream media, big pharma and pretty much everyone is ignoring as Fentanyl continues to work it's magic ways...

This is how the mainstream media fake news operates. It's good to see that they have at least been challenged on it, by a man who is ten times smarter that this toothless woke wannabe. Do you still trust the BBC News to tell the truth? 

I look forward to a George Soros funded idiot to now tell me that 'Musk is Bad' just like the 'Orange Man' is bad. To those waking up, well done! To those sheep in a trance or only following orders, destiny awaits.

An interesting viewpoint on 1984 and Eric Blair (George Orwell but you know that) must have been on the Autism spectrum somewhere with his ability to examine history and extrapolate out the likely journey that the power hungry and manipulative excessively wealthy few would take.

Today we have the trans tyrannical thought police in full swing along with a number of other 1984 indent's becoming oh so apparent. Anyone for a hate crime?

And video evidence is a bigger threat. Welcome to the swamp in the USA & the UK learned everything from them. HOW DARE ANYONE THINK FOR THEMSELVES! Tucker Carlson is a rare breed of a real man.

I have fond memories of meeting John around ten years ago. The band had just flown in from Ireland and Nora was pulling along two large suitcases, John on the other hand was out front full of energy and his usual sparky attitude.  It was fun to banter with him although I will put my hands up and say there was no chance that I would have the last word. How life changes in just a few years.

As Doug Smith eloquently put's it regarding this song - A beautiful musical statement of love... written for his dear wife, Nora, as she spends her final moments with her husband. I have to believe that the sparse, gentle and relaxing backing track and, simple, poignant and highly personal/meaningful lyrics resonates deeply with Nora - even as she continues to decline with her health. This is a really special piece of music. We are incredibly fortunate to be invited into John and Nora's world to enjoy this beautiful love letter to Nora.
