What can we do to prevent the kind of atrocity that happened in Woolwich yesterday from happening again? So far, attention has focused on the security services, but theres clearly not much that MI5 or the police can do. How do you stop home grown terroristscarrying out seemingly random attacks on off-duty soldiers? Any long-term [...]Obama administration calls London terror attack ‘senseless violence’ – the same language President Obama used over Benghazi

Republican senator Ted Cruz thinks he knows how to prevent Texas being swamped by demographics. The Senate amendment he is proposing on immigration reform would deny all illegal immigrants access to benefits and a pass to citizenship.

The extent to which great composers can be blind to the failings of bad libretti is a constant source of fascination, not to say entertainment. And Ive just been hugely entertained by a performance of Handels oratorio Joseph and his Brethren at the Gottingen Handel Festspiele in central Germany. If you dont know Joseph you [...]Treat the Woolwich attack like any other murder. Turning the killer into an anti-hero risks creating copycats

There was an act of terrorism in Woolwich yesterday. An act which will stay burned into the national consciousness for years. A horrific act, but an undeniably effective one.
