Critical time for the world, is America up to it…?
It was sad to see Biden stumble about on stage and lose his train of thought. Neither candidate seemed that well-informed and if the free world rests on the inconsistencies of Trump or the frailty of Biden, the world is in trouble. There was an element of sadness that the frailties of Biden were on display,…

Re-writing historical fact through the eyes of a denier
Nigel Farage will say anything to be heard, but the failure of the Brexiteer to mind his Ps and Qs was at its most compunctious when talking to Nick Robinson on BBC Panorama. It was not a matter of the hundred thousand who have been killed, wounded or disabled from the war in Ukraine, that…

The basket case and the anarcho-economist
It’s strange that politicians are there to tell you how brilliant they are during the boom years, but have excuses for all the other years that economies have struggled.

Sweden a country known for openness transparency and gender equality, has changed, there is a new populist government that has opened the door to the far right.

End of Alex Navalny… thank you for making me laugh.
Alexei Navalny, found his poisoner, he confronted him and questioned his technique. It was just a few drops of a Novichok type of substance on his underpants that led to him being put into a coma. A flight to Germany, a three week coma and waking up in another country was the price of life.…
