It is perhaps academic. Apparently Georgia is on the verge of passing legislation which will allow the state government to dismiss county District Attorneys. The case against Mr Trump is led by a county District Attorney. The problem will go away.

Did she write it in green ink?

There is no limit. But. You think too much!

He has no time to be a self publicist - far too busy being a "content strategist ", whatever that is!

Bulldog chewing a wasp.

It does seem that Fox news is laying the groundwork for an all purpose universal defence in any future law suites: "Tucker Carlson said, and everyone knows he talks <deleted>..."

Goodness, I thought that the pool of ludicrous arguments for allowing private, effectively unrestricted ownership of what are really military battlefield weapons had been exhausted but you have just written a new chapter! Tall about linking entirely unconnected statistics!

I rather suspect that the attraction is the dressing up, "accessorising" and "handling the weapon" and the actual kill. Oh they may cut off a couple of "juicy steaks" of venison but I suspect the remaining 24 kg is left to rot.

His father was Jewish - Czechoslovakia as a child when the NAZIS started closing in. He is not "observant" but... Braverman is a Buddhist - again I don't know how observant but she is not Muslim so her ethnicity will be a weak protection. That creature who spent months shouting down a loudspeaker in Parliament Square about Brexit has been posting Photoshop pictures of her standing in triumph outside the gates of Auschwitz all over the internet. It's coming down the line.

Well, I reckon they would love to move against Suella Braverman. Trouble is she is 1) a woman and 2) from a " minority background" , so they will have to be careful to avoid compromising their own positions on such matters. Raab was a straight white man so no problems there, Jewish too which of course was a bit of a bonus!

Sign up for the diabetic clinic at your local hospital, especially if you live out in the sticks. You get a thorough consultation with an experienced nurse, blood, urine tests, a quick session with a doctor, back to the nurse, a good bollocking about your lifestyle and diet, and medications for three months from the hospital pharmacy, all for just over B2000. Once a year more thorough blood tests (kidney and liver etc) plus a chest X-ray. Eye check and foot check. That session costs a bit more. Once you've registered and got a hospital number you can go to see a doctor or dentist pretty much any time you need to. My local hospital has just opened a physio clinic. Yes you pay but it's a fraction of what you would pay if you go to a private clinic

Funny things family businesses really. The profits seem to go to family members. A bit like that fellow from New York (name escapes me for the moment), you know, lives on a golf course in Florida nowadays, the chap with orange hair, dealt in property, steaks, owned a university, a casino and lots of other ventures. All tied up with various members of his family. Family businesses - don't really understand them myself.

They will need to find justification for a state of emergency. Not in itself a problem...

At that age a birth certificate is adequate ID. You might need some form of letter from his mother...

Remarkable, especially as for medical reasons I am currently "off the sauce"!

Known in the business as "doing an Elon". I believe the official verdict was that at 1'04" after launch it went "all of a twitter"!

Put simply, no. The "established governing class" now have a built in control over the senate, control of the judicial machinery and the electoral machinery. By convention they have a generous amount of time before the results are declared. They will use this to count, recount and count again to get the result they want - a definition of proportional representation perhaps? They will interpret, barr, ban, disqualify and ignore ballots to get the result they want. If an unsuitable party after all that, has an overwhelming majority; well, as you may know the election of a new Pope is announced by white smoke over the Vatican. Here the emergence of a new Prime Minister can be announced by blue diesel smoke from the tank parks of barracks around Bangkok! The eventual outcome may be decided by whether the people are prepared to have their electoral decision rebuffed again.

Why not just pass the collection of cash to the immigration officers at the passport booths. It's hardly likely that they will abuse the right to collect cash off foreigners now is it?

No doubt it's wandering course can be explained by an attempt to navigate from the UK to the Baltic using a domestically produced (Russian) GPS receiver. Chips from looted washing machines are only capable of so much modification! It appears to have gone into a "spin cycle" off the coast of Eastern Scotland!

I watch MSNBC (YouTube highlights) and whilst I am acutely conscious of an underlying political bias; the quality of research and factual presentation by for example Rachel Maddow, the interviews by Alex Wagner (although she does sometimes come over as having a schoolgirl crush on her interviewee), the lovely Katie Phang and the analysis by Ari Melber are streets ahead of anything from Fox.

Straight 50% of the original amount claimed?

Insurance may cover them - I don't know, doubt it, but if it does you can expect some eye watering premiums plus draconian insurance company oversight of any editorial decisions!

Such sabotage would be very silly indeed. The countries with such infrastructure in the North Sea, UK, Netherlands, Federal Republic of Germany, Denmark, and Norway are all members of NATO. Sweden has a defence agreement with the UK which effectively puts it under the NATO umbrella. An attack would produce a response from NATO.

This Murdoch fellow ( is he Australian, British or American this week) is pushing 92. Although he seems quite fit, he can't go on forever! Who "takes over" the empire? Apropos of nothing, he did pull off one spectacular stunt in persuading Anthony Lyndon Blair to appear "robed in white" at the baptism of his ( Murdoch) children in the Jordan River, where Jesus Christ was baptised. It was a bit presumptuous perhaps when Murdoch chose that spot, and Blair (robed in white!) did have the grace to look a bit embarrassed. The photos were hilarious! That was back when Murdoch was married to the ferocious and energetic Wendi Deng. I remember wondering at the time, she might finish him off - a bit like Peter Sellers having his first heart attack shortly after marrying Britt Eckland, bit off more than he could screw! Anyway, enough musing - what will happen to the Murdoch empire when he does die? There are several children, I bet they will fight like ferrets in a sack!

Getting rid of Tucker Carlson? Two things are guaranteed after a nuclear apocalypse: cockroaches will be the predominant surviving species, and Tucker Carlson will pop up on cable TV somewhere claiming that it is all a fabrication by the communist lefties...
