Extracts from 'The Waste Land', T.S. Eliot, 1921 April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers.

Distribution of guns and Molotov cocktails to civilian volunteers in Kyiv (Kiev). And some west European countries can't bear the pain of freezing Russia out of the Swift international bank transactions system. Pathetic

@mikeduncan What would also be interesting would be a comparison with the weight of the Versailles Treaty indemnity on Weimar Germany. I realize this goes a bit out of the scope of Revolutions, but surely worth a brief digression. Would be great if you did.

@HKSandham This office is mentioned by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty as evidence that even an authoritarian institution, as he saw the Vatholic Church, needs to stimulate debate (within boundaries) to arrive at good decisions. Evidence for Mill of the benefits of free speech

@andymoz78 @jonawils To be fair Hannah has made it pretty clear in the British media he expected continuing single market arrangement and said so just after the referendum. The problem is inability to perceive that his version of Brexit would not be taken up

@JGForsyth I suspect the point of this is that she thinks UK will do better from Brexit than Treasury forecasts. But then if she knows better than the Treasury about this, shouldn't she be playing the stock market? Maybe she is, so why shop in Primark?
