Probably when the UK refused adult Jewish refugees entry when fleeing the Nazis. We make a huge fuss about the Kindertransport, as if that's some great heroic thing but we left their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to die.

At this stage that's so concentrated, so strong that one might as well stick oneself with curare or tetrodotoxin and say "Bye!" Why would anyone bother with such deadly stuff unless by accident?

Did they actually defeat ISIS though. or are ISIS hanging in there like an irradiated cockroach? Are HTS better or worse? Honestly I lose track.

That or Cyberpunk's Soulkiller is a thing & James Bond's engram was copied and is now kept on the MI5 mainframe, a copy downloaded into each successive 007. Bond's long-arc story will be to finally wipe that mainframe and all offline backups and finally feel the sweet release of death. He's *tired*.

Yeah. My bad. But Popov's casino antics were absolutely the inspiration for Bond's playboy lifestyle pretentions.
