Agonised discussion on BBCWorldatOne about Britain being ungovernable. Scots opposed Thatcher, kept water in public o'ship, opposed Brexit, axed FPTP. But no mention. Instinctively Scots made the right call when folk down south got suckered. That why so many are for independence now.

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.
