Also on Christmas Day 1989, Ceausescu and his wife were arrested, given a one-hour show trial and then immediately executed by firing squad in front of TV cameras. In Italy, instead of Xmas TV, we watched the whole thing unfold live - it was insane.
I don’t see why it shouldn’t be a precedent.

Nicolae Ceaușescu started building Casa Poporului (as it was then called) as a testament to what he believed to be his magnificence. It turned out to be an expensive folly, but was eventually turned into Palatul Parlamentului, today housing a democratic government and several public use spaces.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

To fix a problem that doesn't exist, British businesses now have to decide between getting sued by a local bigot funded by JK Rowling, or getting sued by a trans or GNC person and possibly ending up in front of the European Court of Human Rights. They must really love the Labour goverment right now.
