    The “protections” in boxing only make it worse.

    The first article above claims even Zelensky and Putin were on the verge, numerous times, of a peace deal, but Britain and Biden were always there to deliberately scupper every one and keep the war going.
    Now Starmer is still at it, going to Washington soon to try and scupper things again.

    I remember a long time ago the US was asking its physicists about whether a “limited” nuclear war was possible in Europe. Maybe that’s on the cards still. Maybe that explains the preparing in Europe for war with Russia.

    Britain seems to have had major influence over the EU on this matter ever since Brexit, and is still wielding this influence, with Macron & Co. being led by the nose.

    Even so, Brexit must be for the UK govt a shot in their own foot: (which Putin supported btw) calling the referendum an act of spleen, maybe, on the part of abdicating PM Cameron?

    Can’t see Zelensky and Kyiv Starmer agreeing with anything Trump and Putin resolve upon.

    So the war will continue and Europe will become more militarized, but without the US.

    Which means the UK and France will feel free to provide whatever weapons they want and even send troops.

    Could Europe, UK and Ukraine ignore a US-Russia peace deal?

    Boxing features a lot in the Limehouse writings of Thomas Burke.

    This is the most terrifying anti-boxing film I know of. One would have to have second thoughts about doing boxing after watching this.

    You’re taking my Mark Twain reference seriously?

    Of course, as long as both consent, some gentlemen suitors for a lady’s hand may choose a duel à la Mark Twain: machine-guns at ten paces, whilst the lady watches, munching an apple.

    But then still we might conclude that society should intervene to stop it, based upon love being an illness, a temporary state of insanity, from which the two males should be protected for their own good.

    Cravan in Barcelona.

    It was just a playabout. Had it been real, Trotsky wouldn’t have lasted a second. Cravan was what is known as a Man-Mountain.

    The two corresponded afterwards until Cravan’s disappearance. He had married the poet Mina Loy and their daughter Fabienne died recently in Paris having never met her father.

    A body of a large blond man was found by the Rio Grande murdered, his features destroyed, but whether he was Cravan we don’t know.

    I believe the Kerr edition of Soul of Man included his preface.
