Trump’s tariffs are not about border security. It’s a blatant misuse of American law, disregarding a treaty that he himself signed, and a costly lie being sold to his own people.

People travelled in the medieval period. The idea that medieval people were bound to the land, living their lives in one place, in one village, is a fiction of modernity. Races and faiths mingled, migrants migrated, merchants, scholars, and pilgrims haunted the lanes and high ways of the world.

Well, bringing back Cameron (Eton, Brasenose, Ox.) might be Rishak’s attempt to turn the clock back to 2016, but it hardly seems progressive in any shape or form. It’s basically bringing on Harry Maguire in the 87th minute and hoping for a miracle.
