Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.

The BBC is determined to ask every supporter of Zionism if Zionism is racism. Unfortunately it can't ask the victims of Zionism because they were all killed by Israel.

It could be a legacy of an imperfect education system but I suspect education on the subject would raise too many awkward questions. An unelected house of lords? A parliament which cannot be challenged in the courts? No “inalienable” rights for British citizens (sorry - “subjects”) ?

Great article. I would though respectfully offer that the problem among UK politicians is perhaps not so much "exceptionalism" but simple ignorance. Understanding how the EU works is difficult in a country where school children are not even taught how their own parliamentary system works.

If you just substitute the words 'working age' for 'fighting age', suddenly the arrival of youngish men and women doesn't sound threatening. Rather, it sounds like exactly what we need for an ageing population.

Indeed. Some people think that just because they’ve made a lot of money in business that should give them (but only them, mind you) immunity from taxation. They want others to pay their share of the country’s taxes so they can get richer. Not a very convincing argument.

One of trumps main strengths is realizing how uneducated and simple so many voters are, and talking to them like he’s the guy sitting next to them in the bar. His utter contempt for them allows him to look them in the eye and lie without any hesitation. Unfortunately it works.
