European Tribune - Comments - Tuesday Open Thread

Tuesday Open Thread | 110 comments (109 topical, 1 editorial, 0 hidden)

Tomorrow night I'm off to see Dr David Owen give a presentation about his book In Sickness and in Power: Illness in Heads of Government During the Last 100 Years as part of the Chester literary festival.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

not-ashamed snicker. Owen makes Mandelson look like a guileless innocent. A man who personifies the story of the scorpion and the frog.
