Support for Reform NOSEDIVES across several major polls

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

As I read and listen to right wing news and headlines I get a feeling that they are beginning to suffer from Fin de Siecle
Syndrome. They appear to be overwhelmed by a group depression that their time has passed. Their ideas of culture, history, politics all seem to be turning to dust.

This is the fourth stanza of Yeats. "The Wild Swans At Coole"
Unwearied still, lover by lover
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
