Quite, Stephen. When my mother-in-law was tested for dementia last year, one of the questions the nurse asked was “Who is the Prime Minister”. I thought “Blimey, you need to have watched the news to be sure of that one!”

It’s good that you give us these constant reminders, Stephen. We are all prone to “war report fatigue”.

Good one, John. When I first heard this story I struggled to remember he had been chancellor - there seem to have been so many.

Thank you, Uilleam. I wrote this in response to multiple appeals from various groups to cancel performances of Russian musical works in the West. I would draw some lines though: for instance, musicians or singers who are known to be close to the Russian government.
Tchaikovsky is a particular case because he was considered a rather 'European' composer and not a Russian nationalist. Likewise Stravinsky and Rachmaninov spent most of their careers abroad. But where do you stop? Is being 'Too Russian' a reason to be cancelled if you lived a century or more ago? I do not think so. Their culture has so much to offer.
Barenboim was (and still is) a force of nature who has done much good. Mind you, even as a Wagner fan, I realise how understandably sensitive this composer's presence is in Israel and I fully respect its people's reservations.
And thanks to Nigel, Frederick, Hugh and Stephen.

Thank you Hélène for some excellent advice.
"Seeing events unfold as if scenes in a play"
....looking from a distance to get things in perspective is important...especially in these dark winter days, when it seems the world has literally taken leave of its senses.

They're going to ban buns at work.
It's your fault they're lying in the street for an hour waiting for an ambulance...
It's your fault they're overweight, needing hospital beds that were never there in the 1st place.
More gaslighting, to distract from their own corrupt shenanigans!

Rishi Sunak in December...: “No, I did not attend any parties.”
After the non-parties:
“The Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer have today received notification that the Metropolitan police intend to issue them with fixed penalty notices”.
Sunak's 1st speech as PM:
“…and I understand too, that I have work to do, to restore trust, after all that has happened….blah blah blah blah…Integrity, Professionalism, Accountability…..”
A man of his word!😀

Moaning about our politicians is all part of the democratic process, Uilleam. I do it myself. But the bigger thing to do is to stand for Parliament. We just need 30,000 people to agree with us and it will all change.
