Starmer Trumped

Well, of course Donald Trump nonchalantly posted about the impending resignation of Keir Starmer as he might have done about the election in Colombia. To his base, there is America and there is everywhere else. But Bill Clinton had been a Rhodes Scholar. Yet, or therefore, he justified American interference in Northern Ireland by comparing Britain to Yugoslavia as if that were the most obvious thing in the world. The American liberal and conservative elites have always been reasonably familiar with the British ones, and at least in recent decades very intimately acquainted indeed as an important formative experience on both sides. Based on that, see what they think of Britain.

In pointing out that Russia was also indifferent towards this country, Peter Hitchens states that the recent bombing of Moscow was an obvious NATO operation of which Ukraine would have been incapable. That point was essentially made to Saturday's landmark International Anti-War Conference by Diane Abbott, who correctly identified this war as "the NATO campaign against Russia". Abbott also dared to mention the "military buildup against China". John Pilger lives.

Saturday saw a great deal of talk about Cuba, an invasion that would compel the ageing stalwarts of liberal interventionism to choose between Cuba and Trump. We should not have seen the like since the failure of the School of Christopher Hitchens, headed by Oliver Kamm, to say whether or not it agreed with the call from within the Green Party for a ban on the medically unnecessary circumcision of children.
