The Republicans handicapping Ukraine’s defence do not see that this gives a free pass to any country with designs on its neighbours. It is no coincidence that Venezuela plans to grab the richest part of Guyana & China has published maps claiming parts of India & other neighbours.
Why are Israeli Settlers undermining historic Christian settlements in the West Bank, taking land and putting up signs saying Christians have no future in the places they have lived in for centuries? thecatholicherald.com/article/christ…
Born in Morocco, brought up in Corsica, multi-lingual, trained as a civil and canon lawyer, he is 73, so neither too young nor too old. He served as a Vatican diplomat, and as Nuncio in Sudan and Eritrea and Apostolic Delegate in Somalia. Then as Sostituto from 2006-2014 he…
Extraordinary Photos .... could peace be the legacy of the Pope, even after death?


Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez must be the most corrupt politician in his countries modern history. thetimes.com/article/8ae32a…
What remains when all honour is lost? Every good citizen makes his country's honour his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. Do those governing the USA still hold to these precepts? If so, why do we not read of mass resignations from the Foreign Service?
#GreenlandIsNotForSale It might at first seem a joke, or disrespectful to the Greenlanders, Denmark (and Europe) but 80% of the United States was acquired by purchase or invasion. The Louisiana purchase (which doubled the then size of the US) cost $15 million (1803); Florida…
Has Starmer taken us back to 1970s Labour, with rising interest rates, a falling pound and, eventually, out of control inflation? Labour has encouraged excessive union demands (the railway unions for example), unlimited promises to a particular group (“working people”, as if the…
If only Labour understood something about incentives; has no-one in the Treasury pointed out that increasing inheritance tax is going to discourage the wealthy from investing? Does Ms Reeves really not know that the more progressive and most of the former Eastern European states…
The shocking case of “Al”-Fayed’s multiple sexual assaults was apparently referred by the police to the DPP when Keir Starmer was in charge. With such a high profile individual, how is it possible that the DPP officials who received the allegations did not think to refer them to…
Why do the Trump-Vance team want to go down in history as “losers”? If Ukraine loses, Putin wins and not just against Ukraine but the entire western alliance, including the USA. Self-isolating and pretending to be the peace-maker, by letting the Russian keep what they have stolen…
There’s a broken body on the wire A memorial to the American soldiers who lost their lived in World War One. For soldiers of all the belligerent powers in the 1st World War there were few more feared deaths than being trapped on the coils of barbed wire laid between the…

Labour’s war on private schools will end up costing the government as schools close and parents unable to afford the increased fees will take places in the state sector. Sadly, the supposedly reformed Labour has decided to prioritise the class war ahead of the class room. Only…


This tells us something about how most people felt regarding the very personal attacks on the 20 year old Israeli singer and her courage and dignity in response. Israel won the popular vote in 15 countries, including Britain, France and Germany as well as in the…
These outrages have to stop. How can these foolish virtue signallers actually believe that risking damage to great works of art or historic documents (breaking the glass on the Magna Carta display case!!) will do anything to solve the climate crisis, or anything else for that…
When someone tells you that Israel is the one that can't tolerate Arabs, show them this video.
The brutal & corrupt Ortega presidency of Nicaragua is seldom in the news, despite the constant persecution of the dictator’s perceived “enemies”. Juan Sebastián Chamorro is the nephew of now 94 year old Violetta Chamorro, democratically elected president from 1990-1997, and has…
Now is the time to take the €300 billion plus in non-Russian central banks and use it to fund the Ukrainians and rebuild their country. And why was the USA so late in allowing training on F15s. This decision by Biden has cost thousands of Ukrainian lives.
I dread the prospect for the USA & the rest of the world (not being a US citizen) of Trump being elected. But he has not been tried or convicted for insurrection and to use the 14th amendment is simple wrong. Choose a competent opponent !! Ditch Biden and try and beat Trump.
