In the 1930s, 80,000 jews fled continental Europe and the Nazis and took refuge in the UK. These “immigrants” were largely welcomed, and integrated well. Except for them 👇

I’m 66 years old. I do 45 minutes of intensive exercise a day in my front room. I walk my dogs at least an hour a day. I don’t eat junk food. Surely Government policy can help not just me, but all of us to live happier and healthier lives as we age? Why not? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I do remember in the total confusion in the days after the brexit referendum, a commentator raised the topic of how Ireland should react. And some senior Conservative politician replied that they should simply “follow us as they always do” because it would be good for them.

There’s a range of other “normal” candidates who are jostling for position in the Presidential scrum. There’s a fair chance that Melenchon’s campaign will implode because he’s such a loose canon. Then candidates such as Raphaël Glucksmann could make it to the second round, and Le Pen would lose 🤞

FTR shattering letter about how the Conservative Government ignored the entirely credible threat from Putin in favour of feeding The City (& Tory Party) roubles👇 March 23 2022 Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), UK defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016 www.ft.com/content/857d...

Letter: A defence attaché despairs at inevitability of conflict

From Carl Scott, Air Commodore (Retired), Oakham, Rutland, UK

[Photo of Sherlock Holmes and Watson monument at the British Embassy in Moscow]

MARCH 23 2022

The recent article by Maria Stepanova "The war of Putin's imagination" (Life & Arts, FT Weekend, March 19) was exemplary. However, one jarring note was the unfounded notion that no one expected this aggression from the Kremlin.

I served as the UK's defence attaché in Moscow for five years, 2011-2016, during which time this long, dark march to war was obvious, the path to conflict lit by the many pronouncements emanating from the dark red walls of Vladimir Putin's palace.

We reported the inevitability of conflict in detail, regularly and with the despair of Cassandra. One of the earliest reports opened with a line from Sherlock Holmes, whose statue stands outside the British Embassy wall: "There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast."

The evidence of Putin's chosen path was never concealed. His many declarations were meant to be heard and understood: the colossal rearmament programme, the demand for more complex, more lethal weaponry; the militarisation of society; the distortion and seizure of the popular narrative; domination of education, the media and the courts to exclude contrasting views and, ultimately, the alienation and destruction of those among the Russian people who understood the folly of his declared ambition.

The list is remorseless, the consequences could not be ignored. But they were.

It was not until I returned to the UK on the eve of our withdrawal from the EU, a manoeuvre which greatly emboldened those in Moscow, that I understood how our society had changed in the years I was serving overseas.

All was subjugated to the City, all served the interests of our lucrative status as a safe haven for corrupt, and corrupting, wealth. The values we were demanding of other nations had long since faded from our own actions.

I despair at the decisions Putin has taken, but even more at the prospect of finding credible leadership at home in the UK among those who have compromised so long with his regime and the wealth it offered.

And UK demographics (more people retiring, fewer babies, fewer British people entering the job market) means these statistics are a consequence of demography, not political choices.

Marc Daney de Marcillac 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇬🇧 @callicramed.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026

But we know that since before brexit, UK politicians like to debate the EU amongst themselves without the need to trouble the actual EU and involve them in the discussion.

For years Carole Cadwalladr was mocked, threatened, sued and treated as though asking inconvenient questions were the offence. Now we are told there was clear Russian interference in the Brexit vote. How terribly awkward for everyone who spent years trying to discredit the woman asking why.
