We're shocked & desolate to hear of the passing of NSotA's co-founder, Dr Isabelle McNeill. She was incomparably wise & compassionate; a woman of unimpeachable integrity; a beautiful & selfless person. Isabelle's patchwork banner flies. Blessed to have been in your company, beloved friend.

Where does this leave the puny & isolated UK? Ah, of course . . . www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Every defence and security system we have is entangled with the US. Even GPS is wholly owned by the US Space Force. Our intelligence is automatically shared with the US, whose bases here are allowed to spy on our own citizens. So if the US is now an enemy power, the enemy is already here.
