Business as usual in British politics. Will this corruption ever end?

Definitely unfortunate in the events in Paris and my love goes out to everyone, not only in Paris that has been a a victim or knows someone who has been a victim or terrorist attacks all throughout the world. People are people no matter where they are from!

one the aftermath od the Paris attack, I came across this brillant essay by Adam Shatz of the London Review of Books

The phrase that stuck in my mind about those nutters is

We let a terrorist group grow into a monster, and when it attacks us, we’re surprised … And we’re friends with countries that are responsible for disseminating this ideology – Saudi Arabia … We’re in a total paradox.’
