Similar thoughts from Ruskin in the 19th century reflecting on the value of drawing. Hard to know when new skills displace old what the consequences are.

The kindest interpretation is America is being led by an unstable senior with Daddy issues and dementia. Trump deserves our sympathy and our help. (Once removed from office.)

Jeremy Bentham famously said all rights are just nonsense on stilts his own included. Perhaps that why they stuffed him and put him on display for kids to gawp at.

Fair few verses about God smiting his enemies, an obsession with race guilt, then there was the incident of drowning the entire biosphere apart from one arc, and the binding of Isaac. Plus he had his own son seek crucifixion.

We are not in 1940, thanks to the Triple lock Pension payments many going to millionaires are out of control, whilst motability revenues for BMWs topped £7bn. Yes there is need but also huge levels of waste.

He is lining himself up to split with Trump. That’s a good thing.

Well said. We all need to pull our pensions out of US stocks, once the run starts it will become a rout

The world is full of people very unlike us, if we only do business with friends we do business with no one. But nor should we be Naiive. We need to play to win, not just show up or be the nice nerd who referees the game and is abused by all the players.

I think Democrats were acting as restraint on level of violence in Gaza that has now vanished, we see this on the ground. Re Ukraine I expect this to end next year as Ukrainians are exhausted with Moldova and Baltics becoming new conflicts. Waiting to see what happens in Georgia today.

We have seen Netanyahu significantly increase the violence against Palestinians since the vote and the ethnic cleansing of Northern Gaza is in full swing. I expect Trump to set the world ablaze in a fairly literal way.

Some of the Ancient Greek plot lines free will versus fate. The horror and pity of war, vengeance love and sex seem rather more interesting despite the desperate shortage of sharks (A Trojan shark was surely a missed opportunity)
