Only weeks before he had joined the shadowy 'Directorate of Intelligence, SO11 Branch'. The context is 1997, a time of escalating gangland violence in Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin and London. Rivals are fighting over drugs and turf, seeking to settle feuds with fully automatic machine guns needing thousands of rounds ofammunition. Some are also wanting silencers to surprise their enemies in drive-by shootings. Others have got hold of even heavier weaponry not previously seen in the UK.Michael Hallowes is a thirty-year veteran of policing London, reaching the rank of Detective Chief Superintendent before being appointed Emergency Services Commissioner for the state of Victoria, Australia in 2011. He served with the Metropolitan Police Service in both Specialist Operations and Specialist Crime and worked on some of the most high-profile investigations of that time, including the arrests of the 'Mardi Gras Bomber' and the 'London Nail Bomber'. He is the only serving British police officer to have addressed the UN General Assembly in New York (on countering the illicit arms trade). He also led the vanguard of detectives and industry colleagues nationally who pioneered the use of telecoms data in serious crime investigations. He holds eighteen policing awards and commendations. Today, Michael lives in London and works as an independent strategic advisor to governments.
就像人们所说的,一幅画胜过千言万语,我希望通过这些漫画,我能 更有力 得表达我的观点。我们对上帝和宗教的看法还停留在过去-我 们不断重复那 些古时候写的,已经过时的观点。就算一本书是一千 或者两千年之前写的, 也不能代表当时的人们有独特的见解,或者 众神曾在那时降临人间。古时候的人并不坏-他们只不过是记下了他们认为是对的想法,他 们记录下 来对上帝的观点,很大程度上受到了他们那时候生活的影 响。那时,残暴的 国王/独裁者和强人统治,要求人民顺从和忠诚, 以此给他们恩惠,这样的 形象就成了上帝的模版。至少有基督教和 伊斯兰教这些当今主流的宗教是这 样的。屈膝下跪,祈求仁慈,发誓对国王忠诚然后得到奖励-这是当时人民 的生 活,也是他们所记录的想法。不幸的是,即使今天的生活有很 大的不同,绝 大多数人仍然盲目地遵循这样的想法。通过我的书,我希望改变言论,为宗教和灵性注入新鲜的想法。 如果您想要联系我,邮箱地址是HeavenVsReincarnation@Yahoo.com

The Beckwiths are pioneers of the British travel and tourism industry, and a name firmly etched into the history of the river Thames. When they sold City Cruises in 2019, it was the UK's largest tour boat company, transporting four million passengers a year with a fleet of over forty vessels and a group turnover of GBP24 million pounds. How they got there was the journey of a lifetime. Gary Beckwith grew up on a deprived East London estate in the 1950s and '60s under the shadow of an absent father. He spent his teenage years wheeling and dealing and harnessing his way with words. By the time he got to the river Thames in his early twenties, he was ready to chip away at an archaic industry that refused to evolve. From his humble beginnings to his conversations with the Queen, from the unrelenting tragedy of the Marchioness to the joys of building a legacy, Gary shares every business lesson he learned along the way. This book is not just about how he made his millions or the visionary mindset that got him there. It's about family, purpose, legacy, and the three generations of Beckwiths that shaped the future of the river Thames.
