Jack of no trade, master of even less. Don't follow me, I'm also lost. Self diagnosed ADHD Grandad, dad, husband, pro Europe, pragmatic left, Bowie, Mozart and late lover of Jazz. Procrastinator. I don't necessarily follow back.

“I’ve been very interested in the truth of what the CIA has been doing over the last 60 years, and the awful things they’ve done all around the world…We know what the KGB are like, but we probably don’t question the CIA’s activity as much as we ought to.” www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

Martin McDonagh says CIA has ‘done awful things all around the world’

McDonagh’s new film, Wild Horse Nine, stars John Malkovich as an agent in 1970s Chile who feels ‘guilt and regret’ over his role in global interventions

Exactly what “standards” are those, Robert? You collude with pornographers over property deals. You take dodgy donations. You whore for racists and christofascists for personal gain. You betray your political allies, friends and your country to sniff at power. You have no standards. You’re poison.

‘Culturally British by my standards’ is one of the most chilling phrases uttered in British politics. Entirely unsurprising to me who it’s from.

How about this for facts. If Trump increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the US now hates their historic friend Canada and wants to buy from historic foe Russia’s Putin instead? Oh and the Canadians don’t offer bribes either?
