Quote of the Week
“There are no
saviours of democracy on the horizon. Rather, around the world we see a new
authoritarianism that is always anti-democratic in practice, populist in
appeal, nationalist in sentiment, fascist in sympathy, criminal in disposition,
tending to spew a poisonous rhetoric aimed against refugees, Muslims, and
increasingly Jews, and hostile to truth and those who speak it, most
particularly journalists to the point, sometimes, of murder.”[Author Richard Flanagan writing in TheGuardian, 18 April 2018]
