We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Maura Dooley visited Chris Wood's Grimm show at Scarborough Art Gallery for which I have written a series of Mortuary Rhymes, as opposed to nursery rhymes, in keeping with the Grimms' tone.
