The EU can’t resist empire-building

2 days ago | spectator.com.au | Charles Moore

A wearisome aspect of modern political polarisation is feeling forced to take sides. Until recently, I felt I could contemplate last Sunday’s Polish presidential election with friendly neutrality. Both sides, after all, strongly resist Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine.

Our age is one where information is much more openly available and quickly verifiable than ever before. Yet it is also an age when speedily provable untruths are asserted ever more brazenly by leading figures, even in open, democratic societies. They do not seem to mind – or to suffer – when their untruths are exposed. Donald Trump is the best-known western leader who excels in these methods.

My VE Day in Kyrgyzstan

2 weeks ago | spectator.com.au | Charles Moore

In travelling to Bishkek, I was heading for the hills. I had not expected to be marking the 80th anniversary of victory in Europe there.
