Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?
Who’d a thunk quarter of a century later they’d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?

Discovery sheds new light on how famed astronomer came to lead a scientific revolution

Scandal, Protest, Goofiness, and Grandeur at the U.S. Bicentennial
This year marks the two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the nation’s founding. The two hundredth wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.
How will the nation’s 250th anniversary be celebrated? Jill Lepore reflects on the 1976 Bicentennial, which found its footing only when Washington relinquished control and left the planning to the people.

Yes, relegation is now a very real possibility for Tottenham | Jonathan Wilson
Spurs’ slide from title hopefuls to relegation candidates is a story of complete mismanagement and widespread injury

Last week, after Tottenham had lost 4-1 at home to Arsenal, Igor Tudor was bullish. It was possible leaving his post-match press conference to think he was a man with the energy and personality to drag Spurs away from the relegation zone. This week, after Tottenham had lost 2-1 at Fulham, Tudor was deflated. The previous week he had spoken of defeat in the North London derby as being part of the process, a game that would startle his players into understanding what was required of them. This week, he just mumbled about having to forget the game and move on. A week in the Tottenham job seemed to have broken him.
Tudor is a specialist firefighter. He has saved teams from worse positions than being four points clear of the relegation zone with 10 games to go, which is where Spurs stand now. But that is what makes his defeatist tone so shocking. He spoke of “big problems”, dismissing a question about his 4-4-2 formation with the snort of a man asked about the shade of the carpet in his hallway as his roof burns down. He talked of an attack that lacks quality, of a midfield that cannot run and a defence that is not prepared to “suffer” to keep goals out. He made fairly explicit that he thinks his players lack the requisite character and pointed out how Fulham were better at reading the game, accusing his players of lacking “brain”.

He’s right, but what’s the chances of the WM Govt. Coming out and condemning this?
Obviously a rhetorical question.
