Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas.
El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo.
Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.

I have to confess that I got this wrong about Trump. I thought it was a ruse that he didn’t want to debate by President Harris, but it appears that he’s actually lost his fighting spirit. There is something wrong. Not exactly sure what it is.
@billorcutt Another gem from @billorcutt Laugh out loud in the first 30 seconds, then get hypnotised. End up wondering at the 9th minute whether John Cale played on Sister Ray then joined the Steve Reich ensemble the same afternoon.
Legitimate concerns? The recent general election had asylum and immigration at its heart and the governing party - that was pursuing an aggressively populist policy on border control - suffered a record defeat. This is terroristic violence, nothing more.
