A notable decision by the Swedes who, after nearly a year of following their own unique path in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, have latterly shifted more in the direction of the rest of Europe. The land border with Norway, they say, is to be sealed: Sweden is closing its border with Norway after the […]

Remember in the first weeks of the pandemic last year when Italy was the focus of the outbreak? News out of China was sketchy, so most of what we saw and heard of the new virus was from northern Italy: ambulances racing along narrow and dark streets, locked down towns, rows of coffins in churches […]
The District Court of Warsaw has ruled that a Polish man who is a coma in a British hospital is legally incapacitated and, at the request of the Warsaw Prosecutor’s office, has approved that he be brought to Poland for treatment.

Wade decision legalising abortion in the U.S., the movement continues to make legal and cultural gains. This is one of the latest.

In an astonishing revelation, it has been claimed the Vatican actively intervened to prevent the release of a statement from US Bishops which was critical of Joe Biden’s policies of abortion ahead of the President’s inauguration.

It is a good time to be a worker. Well, apart from the lockdowns. And it’s probably not great if you are in hospitality. Or tourism. Or in the airline industry. Ok, let’s start again. Leaving aside COVID (who doesn’t want to do that!?) the next few years and decades will be a good […]
