I know the people in the UK are going to have some hot weather today, but just spare a thought for us here in France where it will hit 45degrees. People will die, and this is all on failed government policies to tackle the climate change. We humans can be so stupid when we try.
Britain about to get its seventh Prime Minister in ten years. I can’t say I’m surprised. As a people they’re often wonderful of course—very musical, for example, many charming customs, and always joking around in their quirky way—but they just don’t have the temperament for stable self-government.
