Spot on Andy. Maybe if everyone pointed that the bigger bully is controlling the local (US) bully and so not so strong after all. He wouldn’t like that would he?

Is it too obvious (or is it naive) for everyone to suggest that Trump is acting like Putin’s poodle. He’s trying to act as a (bullying) leader but the whole world can see he is not doing anything other than Putin’s bidding. Not so much a leader as a lackey.

Could one reason that NF and BJ have that (alleged) magic touch that they can say what they want. They don’t need to get anyone else’s permission to speak or express opinions. Very different I think to Labour, The Greens or even Tories and LibDems.

Happy birthday Polly. Have long loved your part in the HTWAE Podcast.

I thought Matt would be irreplaceable and much missed. But no. You’re doing a fabulous job and I can’t even recall his surname. 😉

Terrific ‘review’ of Downfall too. Beautifully and cleverly written Patrick. Has had the desired effect. I won’t get a copy 🤣😂👌

Thanks Julie. Will do.

And just think for a moment about the earnings level required to generate an additional £35k pa NICs charge 🤣😂
