Breda O'Brien: Nobody can claim the decline of Catholic influence has led to a happier or healthier society The liberal left has become the comfortable voice of the establishment, but this is far from the progressive utopia we were promised

Nobody?

I’m really sorry to hear of his loss. I saw him lecture a few times and I thought he was fantastic.

I once travelled with a crutch, and I was surprised at how little inspection they gave it.

Of course he’s a moron. Everything he says and does points in that direction.

I think I have heard that in the last few weeks.

But is anyone expecting sense from him at this stage? He has talked moronic crap for years. The people to focus on are the enablers in the congressional GOP and the Supreme Court.

No they aren’t!

Your current President seems to have a mesmerising effect on all journalists. They plaster his face and idiotic ramblings all over the place as if he were Princess Diana. Where’s the intelligent debate and analysis?

It’s an embarrassing display of weakness by the US. I wish some European leaders would point that out.

I hope you aren’t suggesting that what happens in real life matters as much as soap opera of presidential politics. That might require journalists to do some work.

E129 The Fifth Court - Elizabeth Winkler - was Shakespeare sole author of all 'his' works? Plenty of legals around this one.

Shakespeare’s authorship on trial in the UK in the 1960s and US in the 1980s. The great Elizabeth Winkler on judicial considerations of the question.

Maxwell’s yacht belongs to Murdoch’s ex-wife! Does Jeffrey Archer know about this?

A kind of silent movie stand-up, where I laugh along with the audience without knowing what the joke is. That could work.

Will it be released on audio for those who aren’t confident of getting past US immigration?

It turns out that, like Allen Klein, Colonel Tom Parker is much misunderstood.

United doesn’t mean equal. There’s an officer class of countries that were powerful 80 years ago. And the rest of us. In fairness, it’s survived a whole lot longer than the League of Nations. But it would take another war to reform it.
