An absurd and simplistic analysis based on bigotry and ignorance, by a compromised administration. Trump's foreign policy is as dangerous and divisive as his economic policies. It is as if the senile and dying President wishes his legacy to be the destruction of western democratic values.

This is why Iโ€™m cautiously optimistic โ€” in the long run.

I'm all on board for a third term, not the taco but President Barack Obama, the best President in my lifetime!

This also applies to NATO allies, who would be reluctant to fight alongside a partner prepared to flout the protocols of the Hague Conventions and Geneva Convention.

Also, those who followed these illegal orders are guilty of war crimes, and should face trial under international law.

Is this the same Mason who, at the time of the Farage Riots, turned to Lee Anderson as his sole source of comment, and allowed him to indulge in a prolonged, unchallenged rant, which included insulting Andy Burnham? A Reform mouthpiece, and protegรฉ of the odious Robbie Gibb.

Bregman's remark is fair comment and demonstrably true. So much for free speech in the BBC. It's ironic that the far-right (Telegraph etc.)wish to destroy the broadcaster, when it has done so much to propel Farage into the political mainstream. GBNews' Robbie Gibb should be removed from the board.

BBC removes description of Donald Trump as "the most openly corrupt president in American history" from the broadcast today of Rutger Bregman's Reith Lecture. I was among the several hundred people to hear the original at the lecture theatre

One of the most exciting sunsets I've captured. A thunderstorm came rolling in just as the clouds started to change color. Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! We had full clouds this morning so here is a second photo from yesterday's sunrise looking south which has an almost painterly like feel to it. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Not before time. Trust it will include the darling of RT News and Putin apologist, Farage.

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat:
โ€œWe have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long timeโ€
Today, Farageโ€™s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.

I started moth trapping in August and for a tiny suburban garden Iโ€™m amazed what Iโ€™ve seen, this is a treble brown spot from early October.
