Information

In an event unique to the Borders Book Festival, Jim will present his annual roundup of world affairs. Few have such an informed and profound grasp of the complexities of American politics, and goodness knows what will have happened by the time we get to Sunday June 15th. Whatever the antics of the occupants of the White House, Jim will look behind the torrent of so-called news, what they call ‘flooding the zone’ and will present a characteristically acute and astute analysis of what direction the careening chariot of time and events is taking us all.
