I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics. Putin's best week in years.

I heard some Herbert from the Spectator praising Trump for restoring ‘freedom of speech’ the other day. In fact, I’ve heard several British right-wing blowhards say the same. Are they utterly, utterly stupid or morally bankrupt or both?

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.
