Time to start a new thread anyway. A cartoonist in a leading Dutch newspaper came with this one, today.  ;) The more serious news of this week being Tony Blair's warning of a reprise of the 1930s: www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/27/tony-blair-return-to-dark-1930s-politics-no-longer-far-fetched

And something really special, an honest evaluation of our times and the things that are at stake, in the NYT: Wolf Bierman, Die Tragödie der Angela Merkel (there's a link to an English translation for those who cannot appreciate his wonderful German :-) www.nytimes.com/2018/06/29/opinion/wolf-biermann-angela-merkel.html
