Handing over your Nobel Peace Prize to Trump is a pathetic act of appeasement, but so is visiting him in the White House with a little bowl of shamrocks & hoping he won't say anything mean. So is refusing to condemn him for kidnapping a president. It's all appeasement, Trump won't differentiate

Waiting on my train from Cardiff back to London after a few excellent days at my psych conference. Brilliant papers and workshops and a great social schedule.
