If the _only_ thing we got from the EU and all the membership fees paid were the longest period of peace most European countries have been fortunate to enjoy, the money would’ve been extremely well spent. EU is a peace project first and foremost - but so much more too. Our last, best hope even?

It takes a massive brass neck to have your administration attack another president for being disrespectfully dressed in a meeting and then turn up to the pope's funeral in a blue suit.

Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

My last visit to The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick before it closes to be rebuilt. Jay Miller’s The Glass Menagerie has had terrific reviews and the run has been extended to May 10th. Some tickets still available but it’s selling out.

Baby boomers, like me, didn't have material trinkets but we had hope, a free education, secure employment and affordable housing. Generation Z have none of these, little wonder they suffer from anxiety and depression.

This. Those with power do not want others to have human rights - the rights you have because you are human. That is why they sneer at human rights, use the media and propaganda to deride those rights, and cut off legal aid so the rights cannot be asserted. And some unwise people clap and cheer.

The assertion of human rights is normally unpopular with those in power. That’s why we have them.

I hate these arguments based on relevance but: 1. Latin is still exceptionally relevant 2. Everyone should have a chance to study it 3. Sitwell imagines a world of soulless worker bees who are allowed no interests 4. Doing interesting things for their own sake is an important act of resistance

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

May I just remind you that today is a good day to rage donate to Ukraine. United24 is the Ukraine government website. Get on there and make a donation if you can afford to. It takes no more than a couple of minutes. Ukraine needs so much and is desperate for help. You can make a difference.

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
