I appreciate an Indian pilot was extraordinarily brave and avoided a terrible disaster but why do the news keep putting a genocidal war criminal on our TV screens to give his opinion on it? Surely the pilot's bosses or family would be more apt?

Lord, President Xi just insulted Trump and the USA, right to Trump's face-in the White House. Xi referred, yet again, to the "Thucydides trap". This is an reference to the US being in decline and China replacing it.

Wide shot of the BRITISH MUSEUM. There are suggestions of fascism around the streets - tanks, barricades, an Orwellian 'Big Brother'-style poster on a wall. A voice of a TOUR GUIDE emanates from the museum:
TOUR GUIDE:
So the Tapestry tells acrucial chapter of our nation's history...

[Cut to interior of museum. A long Bayeaux-style TAPESTRY is on display, and the Tour Guide is speaking to a tour group]
TOUR GUIDE [smiling]:
How modern fascist Britain was created.

TOUR GUIDE:
The Tapestry begins here with the 2008 Crash, then austerity, then the AI Crash...

TOUR GUIDE:
...and by the end of the room it's just full-on fash.

That one's a superyacht,
carrying money from the American fascists to the British ones.

You see really it's as much a story of convergence as it is of conflict.
