Anyway, I can’t think of a recent example of a made up reason for regime change, the underlying reason being access to huge oil reserves.

That FIFA Peace prize for DJT:
The trophy is just awful - not least, in a heady list of mistakes, the one thing you’re not allowed to do is take the ball in your hands.
It gives me more of a Walking Dead Zombie reaching from the grave feel more than a sport unifying peace to all men vibe

I had a weird dream the other night (I’m blaming/hoping it’s high strength medications) where I was stuck watching a party political broadcast in real time, the content of which was Ed Milliband doing a voiceover on, basically, a ReformUK attack video.
It went on for hours!

It’s a shame about Abby Dow retiring - she’s been been a first rate ambassador for rugby overall and the women’s game.

A full English Breakfast is an under appreciated meal.
But only if consumed before midday (there’s a grey area between 11am and 12 noon…)
An ‘All Day’ breakfast is an abomination.

If you’re a refugee, fleeing war or persecution, and manage to get to the UK you have to give away what little you have to ‘contribute’ to your costs.

What’s more worrying (but equally evident) is the White House and Trump administration don’t have a clue what’s going on.
The BBC aired Panorama over a year ago and no-one at the WH watched it, and thought ‘hang on, that’s not exactly what he said…. This might be an issue… I best report this..’

Theoretically speaking, could the BBC tell DJT to ‘do one’?
The edit was a bit shonky, but it’s hard to argue they’re not his words or that his intent was what happened. (So the Q is, why bother?)
The BBC could then spend the next 3 yrs calling out every random DJT thought, speech & policy decision.

Watching Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope on ITV.
Which is how it should be.
I was too young to see it at the cinema so it would have been on the telly, probably at Christmas, sometime in the early 80s.
Anyway, nostalgia watching. No spoilers please
