I heard Sebastian Gorka, Donald Trump's 'special adviser', oh BBC's 'World at One'. He is a highly unpleasant, aggressive, bully. The interesting thing to me, though, is that he is SO unpleasant, he must turn off neutrals who might actually be prepared to give the Trump administration a hearing.

European leaders have been remarkably quiet over this latest assault on democracy by Erdoğan. What mess the world is in when what's left of the free world has to keep quiet in their criticism of one dictator because they need his help in defying another.
