Many of us warned - repeatedly - before it occurred that the Iraq war would be a huge and fatal shift. We were ignored or shouted down. But I don't think any of us realised just how many monsters would come through the breach. 3/3 www.monbiot.com/category/war...

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

The sun is spent, and now his flasks
Send forth light squibs, no constant rays;
The world's whole sap is sunk;
The general balm th'hydroptic earth hath drunk,
Whither, as to the bed's feet, life is shrunk,
---John Donne, A Nocturnal upon St. Lucy's Day

Little Green Canal

One of those scenes that has the car screeching to a halt, crazed photographer grabbing bits and pieces in a mad dash to capture the moment before it twists away and is gone.
