Hi Rob, Thanks for the kind words about the work; we need to talk about the establishment increasingly suppressing speech all over the place, and then fight back. Yes, I too fear the Starmer bunch are reflexive censors; the police call to come over to America and arrest those saying things they dont like was as appalling as it is otherworldly. But they are a menace we will return to as I entirely agree with you

Thankyou for such a swift reply John, it will be fascinating to hear your take on our new government. If I ever find myself in Milan, the espressos are on me!

Dianne, I agree; there is just a flicker of self-reflection here--we should be hopeful and realistic about it at the same time (yes, Vivek did well). In fact, in the stormy days ahead I will try to be hopeful but realistic about all the twists and turns life throws me, as well as the country. Thanks so much for this, and your steadfast support

Rob, Sounds like a plan; lets expand it so we can have lunch ahead of the espressos!

Great article as always John. Disturbing to see how far the government will go to suppress free speech. I worry that the new Labour Government here in the UK is doing the same, policing social media and using it in a Draconian manor to suppress any views that don't mirror their own.

Hopefully SELF REFLECTION will emerge with more individuals in the weeks ahead. I have no idea how people live with themselves. Vivek did well with ZUCK at the sport event... But Zuckerberg's entire platform Facebook was started on nasty scummy and awfulness.

Maybe... a just a maybe someone can have a rebirth.I remain hopeful but most importantly realistic.
