Djokovic's racquet bag is a reminder of who he is. He needs to use it
By Paul Johnson
Novak Djokovic is in decline even as he grabbed more tennis history in Geneva. What remains to be seen is whether he still can get through a two-week major with his mind and body intact.

'Unprecedented and alarming': Bird flu has morphed to wipe out seals
By Tom Hartley, Richard Mockler, Jenny Ky, and Paul Johnson
Australia is surrounded by the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu. And it is morphing as sea animals and birds bring it ever closer to these shores.

The worst Christmas song is Paul Johnson's "Suck my Candy Cane" and it's not even close.
As a fan of Booty House in general and Paul Johnson in particular it brings me no joy to tell you this.

.> ^n27 ... WSJ, Jan. 19, 1989; Johnson, Sunday Telegraph, June 1, 1986. Johnson and Podhoretz are exulting over Libya and Grenada, respectively. A notorious apologist for terrorism and atrocities, Johnson also applauded #Israel for "having the moral and physical courage to violate a so-called sovereign frontier" by invading Lebanon in 1982 to excise "the terrorist cancer" -- with an estimated 20,000 or more killed, mostly Lebanese and #PalestinianCivilians (quoted by #WolfBlitzer, #JerusalemPost, June 29, 1984). In the real world, the invasion had nothing whatsoever to do with "the #TerroristCancer," except insofar as Israel hoped that the attack might return the PLO to the #TerroristPolicies Israel preferred by undermining its self-restraint in the face of repeated and murderous Israeli cross-border attacks, and terminating #PLOEfforts to move towards a peaceful political settlement, intolerable to both major Israeli political coalitions. There was ample evidence on these matters from Israeli sources at the time Johnson produced these typically inane comments. See #FatefulTriangle, Pirates & Emperors, and #NecessaryIllusions....
.> The greatest accomplishment of Reagan is supposed to be that he made us "feel good about ourselves," restoring the faith in authority, which had sadly flagged. As the editors of the Wall Street Journal put it, "he restored the efficiency and morale of the armed services [and] demonstrated the will to use force in Grenada and Libya" -- two military fiascos, but no matter. We were able to kill a sufficient number of people and are once again "standing tall," towering over the upstarts who had sought to overcome us but who succumbed to the cool courage and "the strength of the Cowboy" -- the words of British journalist Paul Johnson, while swooning over the manliness of his idol Ronald Reagan, who had in reality shown the courage of a Mafia don who sends a goon squad to break the bones of children in a Kindergarten. With these achievements, Reagan overcame our "sickly inhibitions against the use of military force," Norman Podhoretz intoned. ^n27- https://znetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/zbooks/htdocs/chomsky/dd/dd-contents.html

"This whole thing, it just makes me want to weep. It just makes me despair... It rather looks like weβre going to totally waste the money on this in producing a rail at a cost of tens of billions which will get you from Birmingham to central London less quickly than you can do at the moment."
IFS director Paul Johnson savages HS2 as a whole. And he's right - it should never have happened in the first place.
Make it Friday night whenever you like with the single release show for Disco Brutus (F.L.O.) from me, Dr Hitchcock.

An article I wrote 10 years ago after the New Statesman republished a few articles written by its one-time editor, #PaulJohnson, who died recently. After editing that magazine he moved to the right-wing media and was an admirer of Thatcher in the 80s. This article was on anti-intellectualism on the British Left, and my piece is about how bad schools breed that.
