You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

So this teacher Charles McCant casually tries to indoctrinate the kids at LoveJoy High School to believe women shouldn't be educated. And turns out this isn't the first time this social studies teacher has been saying this.

To my mind a drone strike in the Baltic wouldn't go amiss.

It'd make the numbers on the chart go up by one, and make a lot of us smile.

I have today completed the "PhD level IQ quiz" on Facebook. I'm proud to announce that I have earned a second doctorate, 43 years after my other one, in record time. It seems to be awarded by Zuckerberg University in the rarefied discipline of squares and circles inside triangles and in wavey lines.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

There are outdoor chess sets?

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

No one is breaking International law by using the red cross in a cartoon.

Painting a red cross on a military command post breaks international law. Firing on hospitals, aid posts, ambulances, and Medics/stretcher bearers breaks international law.

Using humour to prove a point? Doesn't.
