And if we zoom out, we see all these words are inside the ‘O’ of CHAGOS.

Have long believed there is a gap in the market for a sensible, moderate, decentralised, ecologically-informed party à la (classical) nordic Centre parties. In a PR system, this would exist separate to a more cosmopolitan, free-market, socially progressive Liberal party.

What’s the best word to hear in a Scottish accent and why is it ‘calumny’

Sure, plenty of academics, Islamists, leftists, Third Worldists, Irish, &c. were rejoicing on 7 October 2023, what else would you expect, but there actually was a lot of spontaneous sympathy for Israel, which Israel has since largely squandered.

Intensely depressing that the most mediocre group of MPs in history, almost all of whom will be eviscerated at the next election, were allowed to sweep away a millennia of history and pretend it somehow made life in the country they’re screwing up better.
