The tough guy (or the tough girl) is the accepted norm in politics and public affairs generally - particularly since the days of Margarer Thatcher. We have heard seductively in the past of the efficacy of "tough love." But what is toughness? Is it just cowardly bluster? Is it a real virtue in sport or in our personal lives, for example? read full story / add a comment

Pius XII was pontiff, bishop of rome, secular head of the Roman Catholic Church, pope, head of the Holy See, and as such signed the diplomatic agreement with Mussolini ending a very long conflict over the territorial integrity of the Vatican and establishing it as a state, and as Pope did not call attention to the Shoah.

Pius XII is currently being discussed for canonization by which he would be declared a Saint. read full story / add a comment

In the middle of his current visit to Tanzania, British chancellor Gordon Brown has claimed that "the days of Britain apologising for its colonial past are over". Some of us may beforgiven for wondering when we ever heard any of these apologies, but I suppose that would be unfair to the chancellor and highly cynical.

Especially when one considers his follow up comment that it was time for Africans to start talking about "the enduring British traditions of liberty and tolerance".

ANC leader Thabo Mbeki, for some strange unearthly reason, isnt highly impressed by the British chancellor. He claims that British imperialists have simply treated the African peoples whose lands they occupied as savages. read full story / add a comment
