For sure, Trump's nuclear button is way bigger but who knows what Kim may have up in his sleeve? Just don't forget that once you are dead, you are dead. And Kim will try to take as many of us and our allies with him as he can. https://www.quora.com/Is-So

Although the term feels politically correct, it's inclusive and is better than the previously used term of 'coloured', I am still not here for it

The Arsenal boss’s reign was a feat of longevity in a game with such restlessly demanding fansThe monarchy aside, Britain doesn’t really do longevity these days. The nation of “keep calm and carry on” and of “until death do us part” has often, it appears, given way to a land of attention deficit and the seductive thrill of quick fixes. No part of public life exemplifies this more clearly than professional football management. The average lifespan of a Premier League boss now stands at just over a year. At the beginning of this season, Crystal Palace’s Frank de Boer set a new record by

The Arsenal manager transformed English football, through fair means and foulHe arrived in Britain like something from outer space. In 1996, as the leaves were turning red on Avenell Road, Highbury, Arsenal’s new manager took up the reins so recently in the hands of the Bergkamp-buying, blazer-wearing Bruce Rioch. How would Arsène Wenger fit with the likes of Joe Kinnear, Harry Redknapp, Gerry Francis, Kevin Keegan and Ron Atkinson, all at the time, as football argot has it, plying their trade as managers in the Premier League? He wore glasses. Not just any old glasses, but full-on cultural studies lecturer about to illuminate the world of Derrida, Barthes and semiotic analysis glasses. He was French – French! – with a good helping of Alsatian. And he had come via Japanese club Grampus Eight, which nobody had ever heard of, even though Gary Lineker had played for them.

Our legal system once looked after everyone. But increasingly, it is only for the wealthyJustice in Britain, a country that boasts it all but invented the presumption of innocence and trial by jury, is becoming a matter of money. We’re going the way of the United States and building a market-based rather than a rights-based system; where the rich have every advantage and the jails are filled with the black and the poor. It hasn’t happened yet, but allow me to clutch some straws from the prevailing wind. Last week, Southwark crown court began hearing the case of Das insurance company against its former CEO,

I was born in Britain, but even I feel the hostility of the climate Theresa May has created The treatment of a generation of British citizens who live here, work here and vote here has been truly appalling. Theresa May, who as home secretary created the environment that allowed it to happen, should never be allowed to forget it. But the problem with May starts with David Cameron. As prime minister, he failed to stand up to her and allowed her to reign supreme over Home Office matters, knowing perfectly well she has always had suspect judgment. For example, as home secretary she insisted that

The business of taking vitamins in massive amounts in one go requires quite a lot of faith It’s expensive and hurts a bit, and it sounds like the kind of thing Keith Richards would do, and for all those reasons I would never have considered a vitamin injection, until they got wildly popular.

Injections have gone mass market and you can get them for £40, or a booster for £10 (

Grinding out 26.2 miles is punishing. Thank goodness long walks and gardening offer a healthy alternative Marathons, marathons, everywhere: last weekend Brighton was taken over by runners, and tens of thousands more will fill the streets of London on Sunday. In the next few weeks there will be races taking place across the UK, from Milton Keynes to Liverpool, Newport to Stirling. The popularity of the 26.2-mile challenge shows no signs of waning – the Brighton event only started in 2010, and now 12,000 people take part. There are 40,000 places in the London race, and a whopping 386,050 people applied this year – the highest number ever. The majority of them had never run a marathon before.
