It's very strange behaviour, certainly.

There shouldn't be any billionaires. Period. As soon as some people have so much wealth that it just sits idle in offshore accounts, society is broken.
We might as well make them pharaohs and bury all their treasures with them.

My favourite breakfast is on the morning after Burns Night. Mix up leftover haggis and mashed potatoes and form patties that you fry on both sides for a few minutes, then top off with a poached egg.

'Ecce Homo'

We're just trying, as a nation, to cling onto the shattered remnants of a world where borders counted for something and where kidnapping or assassinating people simply because you didn't like them was frowned upon.

If it wasn't for the fact that Israel is small and doesn't have the requisite manpower, I wouldn't have put it past them to be hacking everyone's CCTV, everywhere in the world.
