We have a rank hypocrisy in the USA that 45,000 people a year are killed with guns, 123 a day, one every 12 minutes.

And it is almost completely ignored.

But when it is one of their people, it is a massive tragedy, as if it is not happening all the time.

Only in America is the report of children being shot at school knocked out of the news by another shooting on the same day.

Fascinating......and beware, America.
The BBC investigates the rise of informers in Russia. Some do it in secret, writing official letters in the hope that critics of the war are prosecuted. Others use television or social media publicly denouncing individuals and organisations they think unpatriotic....

This is very good.
Max Hastings is politically of the old 'one nation' tory type - but more importantly he is a very good historian, critical of sources and critiquing analytically other views
This is in very many ways the British view of what's happening in America

I find this annoying for a number of reasons. The misuse and misinterpretation of the literary evidence is one thing...but the simple fact that it took 500 years seems to be lost on the so-called 'genius' that is called Elmo...
