One day - and I hope I live to see it - we'll have Farage, Tommy Robinson, Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, the Taliban, the AFD, and all their petty little toadies hauled kicking and screaming before a 21c version of Nuremberg.

All very true. BUT when the regime Carl Schmitt endorsed fell, the international agreements and processes that followed were not set up out of weakness but out of a different kind of strength. Miller's "strength" is that of a playground bully turned Gauleiter. We knew how to deal with THEM!

Then they are cherubim.
Interestingly, I believe the word 'cherub' comes from the Egyptian 'kherub', which originally meant a winged sphinx.

That's somebody taking up at least 5 times my space on the road, in a vehicle carrying 20% of its capacity (mine can't carry less than 50%), that used up much more raw materials in its manufacture, behaving like a winker (typo). Every bloody day.

I own & ride one of the most masc things on the road - a 1200cc motorbike. I've been riding for more than 50 years. I do things like abiding by the speed limit. Every time I go out, car drivers try to turn me into a novelty hood-ornament, pass me on hatched areas, etc. Always johnny-one-in-a-car.

Is that in fact a hoof or a splayed tail-fin of some kind?
Given that the beastie only has one terminal, let's call it a Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent.

Several things interest me about this sculpture. Firstly the barley-twist columns. Then the fact that the whole appears to be supported by three putti.
[Are they putti or cherubs? I'm in two minds, because the detail behind each may or may not be wings.]

Look, you can afford all those neat rocket-propelled roller skates and so on, your credit is good, so just sit back and send out for a pizza when you're hungry. Makes sense.

It was a brilliantly-crafted episode. There is a moment of pure tension when you are waiting to see whether one of the characters would kill the other, & instead they kiss. Script and acting were off the scale. Sex scenes? I must have missed them! Whether you're gay or straight, it was outstanding.
