It’s like watching Dr Strangelove, mixed with all the megalomaniac Bond villains, plus every other deranged book and film baddie all rolled into one! It would be funny if it wasn’t so terrifying.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but perhaps they should step up now then. Somebody has to give some leadership to a constructive Opposition, instead of just watching it happen as seems to be the case.

It will be interesting if one of the dangerous chunks debris from these regular mishaps lands on Moscow instead of in the ocean. It’s like a rejected script for a James Bond film. Why is nobody regulating this?

Little consolation as right-minded Americans seem to be allowing it to escalate. ‘Silence is consent’. It’s worrying to observe from afar.

Reminiscent of the courts of Kings like Louis XIV, where people vied to get close and attend the King rising or at meals or going to bed etc. Perhaps DT really does imagine he too is an absolute monarch?

I don’t think the collective moral compass was so broken in the late ‘70s.

My dr called these non pain ones, ‘Silent migraines’. You can also get strange numb patches on your leg or face.

This takes me right back to my parent’s house, built in 1939 and kept more or less intact until the 1970s. Styles come and go. Enjoy.

This is excellent news. I supported the protest but never thought they’d listen.

That brings back a few memories! I used to go there too. I’m waiting for my sister to send me your article in the Chronicle.
