Canada and the US at opposite ends of the scale on how people view their fellow citizens. Might explain something. Good to see UK much closer to Canada than US
85% of Australians see other Australians as “good”. The 15% might be loud but they are a minority, an angry, grievance driven, bitter minority. Don’t let them turn our nation into another divided states of America.

Cyprus offers hard lessons for UK defence: - weakness of its anti-air defences - spending debate too often framed around Russia, the armed forces are exposed against far lesser enemies too - initially denying US rights to bases made no difference. Iran hit anyway. War may chose

If Mandelson wasn’t already finished, this would certainly do it…
PETER MANDELSON, JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND THE 'DEAR GORDON' NOTE Lord Mandelson sent the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein a private email to Gordon Brown that contained highly sensitive market information on secret plans to sell off government assets As per @DanNeidle it is

The Mail has a point here. The more comes out the clearer it gets: Epstein was interacting first and foremost with Russia-aligned interests. It is not just a story about a notorious pedophile.
