Glad to have found a refuge from “X” and Facebook. Happily married to Richard, 4 daughters. I’m left of centre, politically nerdish, classical musician, linguist and needlework. Hello all. No DM please
If the president of USA is such a great “peacemaker”, how come he is starting a colonial war against Venezuela? (He shouted about not getting involved in foreign adventures).

This is an excellent, level-headed, informative piece. I'd kill for a government which could discuss the issue with the same sense of objectivity and calm.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Okay, there needs to be a Grammy category for this. And this needs to be the winner.
