Truth: The First Casualty of War. Lunch with Proprietor Phil Whitfield

October 14, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Often cited, but, does it prevail in UK news as well as conflicts abroad?

Proprietor Phil Whitfield covered wars from the Yom Kippur War in Israel to the Fall of Saigon in Vietnam; across Africa the Middle East and Ireland for BBC News and Current Affairs as a Foreign Correspondent.

Should we rely on radio, TV and newspapers to give us unbiased accounts? Why should we exercise critical thinking before forming our opinions? This illustrated backstory probes the issues.

Whitfield grew up in Woolton and returned after living in Arab countries for 23 years and the USA for 18.

Book your tickets now with the Concierge or through the Members’ Area for just £20.00 per person.
