I'm in my sixties now, so I've seen the Scotland male football team being a lot of things. But this year, as the third best team in a four team qualifying group, I've seen them being something I've never seen before. Lucky. Consistently lucky. Why? Because they believed they could be.

If Trump's people pursue the martydom narrative, they'll need someone for the Ernst von Rath part (whose murder was used to justify "Krystallnacht.") In their case, cancelling elections next year in a "National Emergency." So everyone senior in the Trump White House better watch their ass.

Hearing on the radio that Farage might become the next PM of the UK. Not hearing so much about how there must be something very, very wrong with the UK if a second-rate little Enoch like Farage might become its PM.

Actors, Producers, Directors. I've just been sorting scripts out for my agent. There are so MANY of them. If anyone wants to read anything, let me know what kind of thing you're looking for and I'll see what I can find in my coat pocket. Any cast size, historical, contemporary. Roll up.

In the longer view of history, Benjamin Netanyahu's lasting achievement is the international recognition of a Palestinian State; just as Putin has overseen the emergence of Ukraine as a fully fledged European nation.
