www.dailymail.co.uk, March 12, 2024
1. Prince Edward is just 60 years old. According to studies, he is the seventh boy from the right in the second row, though some scholars claim he is the third child from the left in the front row. It's impossible to tell if it's true. 2 He looks and feels comfortable in a suit and tie, but if the invitation says'smart/casual,' he's just as content wearing a suit without a tie.' He favors a pair of corduroys for home debating. 3 He is so clever that he was able to get a Cambridge University course with just two Ds and a C in his A-levels. He started reading "Sums" but when told that this course was not available, he decided on a joint honours degree in addition and taking away. 4 He joined the Light Entertainment Society at Cambridge. He loved amusing his classmates with his Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks sketch, but he was forbidden from doing it on stage because the audience might not find it amusing.

The remakes of British TV classics that are BETTER than the originals and where to watch them on streaming (and the shows that were better first time around)

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 7, 2024
Magic formulas must exist for successful TV shows, but actors and writers have yet to find a foolproof spell. Instead, they keep falling back on the classics, remaking favourite shows in the hopes that lightning will strike twice. Here we examine eight classics and compare them to their remakes - some are better than the original, some are more popular but equally good, and at least one of them is a horrible clunker.

Why Russia must be broken up: Why Russia must be broken down for more than a thousand years: For more than a thousand years, it has been the purge's tyrannical land of the purge, the gulag, and Ivan the Terrible. Conquest is wired into its psyche

Phew! I was beginning to feel downright unpatriotic. Hundreds of British citizens have been banned from attending Russian universities, including 213 Conservative and 74 Labour MPs. My name was not on any of the lists until yesterday. 'You been sanctioned too, Hannan?' The MPs will ask, unable to maintain the swagger from their tone. 'No,' I'd mumbled, eyes downcast.' I've only been refused admission to, er, Belarus.' Does that count?'

IAN AUSTIN: Discussion about a decision between the lesser of two evils. When asked about the war between Iran and Iraq, I was reminded of Henry Kissinger's words: 'It's pity they can't both lose.' However, Rochdale will have to go to the polls again, and the appalling Galloway and the disgraceful Ali are the only two people to win, although realistically speaking, are the appalling Galloway and the disgraceful Ali. During the Iraqi war, Galloway was kicked out of the Labour Party by Tony Blair, who instructed British troops to "refuse to obey unlawful orders." He lauded Arab tyrants and called the Soviet Union's demise "the biggest tragedy of my life." According to The Mail on Sunday, Labour candidate Azhar Ali ordered that Israel deliberately killed at least 1,200 of its civilians on October 7 to declare it 'killed.'

TOM UTLEY: Who wants to live to 150 in this mad world in which killjoys seek to ban all pleasure and police our thoughts?

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 30, 2023
TOM UTLEY: As I approached 70 this week, I've been worrying a lot about death this week, the threescore years and ten named in Psalm 90 as the length of time we can expect to live on this planet. According to a recent study by the Christian think tank, I'm now one of four of us who believe we worry about our own death at least once a week. I should point out at least once that many people lived much longer than 90 years since Psalm 90 was published, well over 3,000 years before the dramatic increase in life expectancy since my own birth in 1953. The Psalmist himself admitted to so much in the second part of his famous verse 10 that he wrote, although he struck a bleak note on death's inevitability, if it would appear. The days of our years are threescore years and ten years, and though they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and despair; for these years, they are soon cut off and we fly away.'

According to Henry Kissinger's celebrated biographer, he shaped politics like no other statesman, and the world would not be in such a fragile situation if more followed his pragmatic and ruthless strategy

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 30, 2023
NIALL FERGUSON: Henry Kissinger, who died on Wednesday night at the age of 100, was the nation's most influential secretary of state. He was also the most controversial. However, influence matters a lot more than the controversies. His zealous reporters wasted no time in denying the old injunction that no such thing should be said about the recently deceased. The scurrilous magazine Rolling Stone featured the repulsive headline, 'Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America's Ruling Class, Now Dies'. At a time when anti-Semitism has resurfaced in the aftermath of the massacre in Israel on October 7, we should pause to wonder why hack journalists from both the Left and Right have used such obnoxious and historically inaccurate language so often, but not so often about American diplomats.

Henry Kissinger and Princess Diana fiancée argued for romantic women and that he belonged to beautiful people. JONATHAN AITKEN wrote: It's no wonder that 'power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.'

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 30, 2023
JONATHAN AITKEN: Despite being tubby and bespectacled, Henry was irresistibly attractive to women, dating a number of film actors before his marriage to Nancy Maginnes. When I stayed for a weekend in Connecticut, where he seemed to be surrounded by adoring ladies all day, I caught this first hand. The same phenomenon was on display at the then Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd's memorable private dinner party in 1995 at his official residence, No. 24. Carlton House Terrace 1 is located on Carlton House Terrace. I watched Henry captivate Princess Diana with his twinkling charm and mesthetic basso profundo voice.
