The only time Article 5 of NATO has ever been invoked was by America when her allies rushed to her defence following 9/11. Four hundred and fifty-seven British flag-draped coffins came home from Afghanistan.

Trump's comments are an utter disgrace. Grubby ignorance laid bare.

That's gold

The who trapezoid rule story is one of the funniest I have found in my math career

Then, when evaluating work it seems fair to consider the situation of the author. If Borges had heard of Dr Tao, he would have written "Dr Tao, discoverer of the trapezoid rule" instead of "Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote".

Doctor Tao, if I remember his name correctly, is my hero. I mean, it happens in the best of families that one rediscovers the wheel but makes it square. This guy had the genius of getting it right.

Trump to hit Europe with 10% tariffs until Greenland deal is agreed US president said levies against eight nations would rise to 25% unless they support his acquisition of the island

The hitherto toughest test to Nordic solidarity is beginning.

Last time the Nordics failed to stick together, Norway and Denmark got occupied by nazi Germany and Finland invaded by the Soviet Union.

I hope that it is European solidarity because otherwise we are all screwed
