Never underestimate people’s ability to turn a blind eye.

Maizie and AllotLil glad you found your way to the link. It is an awful and terrifying story and I despair that people here in U.K. admire Trump and delight in Johnson’s ‘Britain Trump’ title.

Like Maizie I couldn’t read all the way through. And some people on GN admire this man ...

I read it,*Dido*. I had to skip to the end about threequarters of the way through, it was so heartrending awful.

So much evil in one country...

Impeachment cannot come too soon for the POTUS...

It’s worth the effort, MaizieD!

It doesn't have a 'share' button that I can see but you can register for 4 free articles ( just means that you get inundated with emails from them... in my experience of similar). I shall try it later. Thanks

I’ve sent it to friends and they have been able to open it. ? it has a share button - sorry! MaizieD have you tried to open it? I’ll remove it if you can’t.

If we have to subscribe hardly anyone will read it unless it's free...

Your link doesn't work, it needs to be blue.

I googled the article but you need to subscribe before you can read it all.

A long but compelling article in the London Review of Books (26.09.19: Vol.41 No.18) by American writer Eliot Weinberger : One Summer in America is worth the effort if you hold your nerve to the last paragraph. It makes very uncomfortable reading...

Here is the link hope it works; google it if it doesn’t.
