Given we are approaching that time of the year, my big piece from years back on the 1983 Cold War Crisis (and the role of Stanislav Petrov in it) over onto authory as a free-to-read. Over the years, the myth of what happened has been simplified. The reality was scarier. Because: Ronald Reagan.
The Day the World Didn’t End
At the height of the Cold War, with alarms screaming, one Soviet officer stopped to think. It cost him his career. It may also have saved the world. The morning of the 26th September 1983 had started ...

Clarkson out there just spitting these spite bars as he strolls around his 1000 acre estate, tickling the soft underbellies of his sycophantic followers.
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 2w ago🚨 NEW: Jeremy Clarkson says benefits claimants should be forced to write a genuine thank you email to a random worker every week “It is SO kind of you to go to work every day so that I don’t have to.

If you feel like reading even fewer words, my mum weighed in with her Barry Norman-esque review last night. TOO LONG AND TOO LOUD. She's not on social media because she's past menopause and doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks. A heady mix, I'm sure you'll agree.
