Yes a neat evisceration of the ongoing Campbell Official History of the UK in the World. Perhaps most interesting:: Oligarchs especially spiked or deleted journalism on Lebedev and more widely to include Australian and British oligarchs. Lebedev a way in. British Lions maybe. Possibly a fading topic till one dies. One relayed on Novara last night of course. Johnson in Saudi. Why not Venezuela? They kill less dissdidents. 'Oh but we're allied to Eastasia... till we're not.' This really neeeds tackling. US might veto its client state UK but desperation and a hopefully Saudi niet might focus Johnson's frazzled mindlessness. Out in the Cold re dehumanising death of Russian conscripts. There's a part of me I admit that doesn't mind if the Azov regiment and (mythical, mooted) Syrian Army volunteers mutually slaughter each other. Though Aaron Bastani's brilliantly chilly humanism in 'they're human beings Michael' rings proleptically in my ears.
