Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.
The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."

Born Czech as Tomáš Sträussler in Zlin in 1937, Stoppard's family escaped to Singapore on the day the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia, then to British India.
Few truly doubt that the refugee boy became English: the themes of identity & language, unfreedom and liberty resonate throughout his work.

Final scene of Leopoldstadt lightly mocks/caricatures Leo, the one family member to escaped to England at 8 very much assimilated into a Stoppard-like young Englishman. “You live as if without history, as if you throw no shadow behind you", his cousin Nathan, the one to survive Auschwitz tells him.

This is correct: there is no screeching terror campaign coming here to annihilate Farage’s posh National Front. If it comes to a choice between beating back Reform or e.g. the Greens, then that is not going to be a choice at all for people who actually matter in British public life.

Dangerous socialist or hitting one of the biggest problems with modern economies, that life is just getting too hard for small businesses and that saps energy from the market? Feels like EU and UK policy makers should be taking notice rather than the same old tired talk.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
