In 2017 Malinowski hosted Putin in France and showed him WW1 artifacts he dug up from a French battlefield that he claimed belonged to Russia because Russian soldiers died defending France in that war.

Pu's diplomatic strategy after Trump cancelled Budapest and adopted sanctions is to pressure the US to abandon their policy by saying that no self-respecting state yields to pressure and by hinting at nuclear blackmail again. "Persuasion" through insult and threats. The russian way.

Heather Humphreys says family suffered β€˜awful sectarian abuse’ during campaign The Fine Gael candidate said she had β€˜no regrets’ about running for the Irish presidency.

This is no fault of Catherine Connolly - but I am ashamed of the slew of sectarian abuse out there regarding the Humphreys family and the inability of some in leadership positions in our society to draw attention to to it / ostracise those who spew it.

Some are trying to defend Sachs by appealing to democratic debate. But that's a red herring. The debate shouldn't include unadulterated lies such as "the CIA paid to overthrow Yanukovych". Historical debate on WWII does not include Holocaust denial for a good reason.

We're all very tired right now.
We work beyond our capabilities.
We dream of having enough sleep, enough rest - but the time for that hasn't come yet.
There are no weekends and days off during the war because time is someone's life.

Up to a point, Lord Copper. There are in fact many good things about de-centralisation, inefficiencies notwithstanding. Yes, we often work like a cottage industry, but it also means that, unlike elsewhere, the centre can't tell us how to do things. And that's invaluable.
