TotallyOz Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Honestly, why is this a big news story? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46286959 MsGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted November 21, 2018 Members Share Posted November 21, 2018 AS, that's a swing and a miss on your part. There's no bureaucracy so capable of institutional insanity as an international bureaucracy. Remember when Kadaffy's Libya was made chair of the U.N. Commission On Human Rights? The Big News (see title of post) is that Interpol actually managed to avoid making a Putin stooge the world's top cop. I'm guessing that it didn't hurt that (1) China just embarrassed Interpol by kidnapping and disappearing its last top cop and (2) Putin has taken to issuing international arrest on sight murder warrants for Western critics. Maybe the first and maybe the second but the two together seems to have been just a bridge too far. But just barely.

Members Lucky Posted November 21, 2018 Members Share Posted November 21, 2018 MsGuy, that's not Adam Smith in the picture. Perhaps his date last night... (I am joking if that needs to be said.) MsGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted November 22, 2018 Members Share Posted November 22, 2018 Well the way I heard it, Angela has engineered it where she doesn't resign (as Chancellor) for two more years. Seeing as how the Orange One thinks Estonia is somewhere down in the Balkans, that's probably all to the good. AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
