    Hello Phil, you are a good, kind man. Your chats each side of the interview are fine with me. Your interview with Maureen was very compelling. She is so coherent and convincing. I am old enough to remember JFK and how he was the great hope of the age. I remember his tiny son saluting in the cemetery after his death. Later sadly we did find out about his feet of clay. I remember Chaopaquiddick and, like many others, still recall how shocking it was and how disgraceful was Ted Kennedy. Maybe it is a qualification for great office that people are in some ways appalling.

      What a generous and lovely comment! Thanks Sally that really is nice to read. And yes a certain ‘edge’ and selfishness can take a politician far it seems. Tho in that family it went rather further than that ! 😊

    I have listened to Maureen interviewed many times on her recent book. The accounts have been shocking to hear and I’m sure painful to read. Courageous to write for sure. Not to mention Joan Kennedy. Ethel has been recently canonized in her passing. Phil, your shows singularly have been very interesting. Thanks.

    What a fascinating interview. Having been brought up here in Scotland, the product of a mother who was 100 per cent Irish, I did rather idolise the Kennedy family (my mum and her sister thought JFK was wonderful). I read everything I could about the family and belatedly had to accept they were not to be admired! This book is one I need to buy.

      Dear Phil - thank you for a wonderful podcast. I appreciate your insight and comments which always provide food for thought. You are one of the few commentators I have heard mention that this government has a majority yet not a majority of votes as the right wing vote was split. Indeed we have probably the worst situation possible, with the second lowest turnout for 100 years, and Keir Stammer getting 2 million votes fewer than Jeremy Corbyn, a large number of MPs are inexperienced and have the arrogance of thinking they carry the will of most of the country. I am going to buy Maureen's book - and I was so pleased you mentioned The Five to her. Thanks again. P.S. You are very good but we miss Andrew

    Thank you for this great interview, Maureen fires with both barrels! I've listened to two youtubers who serialised and commented on the book and I'm afraid the Kennedy curse is actually a curse on the women who have the misfortune to get involved with them. There's no doubt they are charismatic but they're best admired from a safe distance.

    Maureen is correct. It's sad that these women were abused and vilified, then ignored. It still happens and no one seems to care.
    There were plenty of rumors about Martha Mitchell being murdered because she knew things about Watergate. I'd like to know the truth about that too.

    Swift clearly needed the blue light, but the aftermath exposes the 'mindset', if they accept the small stuff it makes you wonder what else? The Mones are a good example here - still not been made to pay it back as far as I am aware. Yes this sort of stuff goes on in business, but it shouldn't in government. In the NHS there is a policy of no expensive benefits, only a small token gift is permitted like a box of choc or flowers, but that is all. In local gov you can not be related to anyone in the council when putting in a tender or when applying for a job. It would be best practice to have a blanket policy for accepting 'nothing'. Look to America at what happens when we let it slide, the pharmaceutical companies buying congress votes, leaving millions unable to access medicine, and now the Trump and Musk affair - sadly, there are many, many more examples.

    According to the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, vaginal sex typically lasts for three to seven minutes. So, JF is part of the norm.

      Yeah, she's great. She's part of the machine behind the outsourcing of Australian foreign policy to Jews in Australia, as Bob Carr told us 10 years ago (see her husband's "early life"). She's prepping Australians to die in a senseless US war with China over Taiwan. A model citizen indeed.

      Or why both? Not a Trump fan at all (can’t abide him) but one focus for this book was the cover provided by Democratic Party-leaning media outlets to the Kennedy men over many decades, over behaviour they would instantly condemn outside high politics.
