The fact that we appear to treat Russian attempts at sabotage, assassination and murder as somehow less significant than other forms of terror is baffling to me.
Attempting to blow a plane up in mid-air is bad regardless of whether the ones responsible are doing it for Putinism or Wahhabism.

This is one of those stories that I keep thinking will get bigger and bigger but which no-one outside of small security circles is talking about much...

An unusual pair of #mammals that you may not have heard of. These are Gerenuks. Body of an antelope, neck of a Giraffe! Found only in one small area of eastern Africa. They graze standing on their toes unlike any others to reach the juiciest leaves.

Don’t vote for people who get pleasure from animals suffering. It’s quite basic , if they enjoy animals suffering they won’t have empathy towards you , they will always do what’s best for them.

A tariff is a TAX.
The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.
