At the beginning of June 1961, after a long and anxious assessment of the South African situation, I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and nonviolence at a time when the Government met our peaceful demands with force.

So what’s behind Trump’s gain? One theory is that this is the postpandemic, postinflation, anti-incumbent backlash. We’ve seen it in country after country. Whoever was in power in 2021 and 2022 is getting annihilated in elections. This is true for parties on the right and parties on the left. In Britain the Tories had their worst election ever. In Japan the Liberal Democratic Party — which is, confusingly for us, a conservative party — had one of its worst elections ever. Left-of-center governments have fallen in Sweden and Finland and Portugal. Look a bit north, and Canada’s Justin Trudeau is hideously unpopular. As Matthew Yglesias wrote, if you look at this internationally, the interesting question might be why Trump didn’t win in a landslide. If Nikki Haley had been running, she probably would have.

SPURGEON: What were Neil Gaiman's and Alan Moore's reactions to their inclusion in the essay – particularly talking about Gaiman and his weekend fling? SIM: Neil faxed me after #184 or #185 had come out saying – I'm paraphrasing here – "You're really onto something here, please keep going." And he faxed an essay along with it that had been written by a friend of his which contained many of the same elements I was dealing with. It wasn't where I was going, but it was interesting. It wasn't until I was doing the introduction for Neil's Guardian Angel Tour reading in Northampton that we actually saw each other face to
