The French finally let the mask drop. Their standard for negotiating Brexit is not the usual one of seeking a deal that benefits both parties. It's not even the selfish but rational strategy of trying for a deal that benefits France at Britain's expense. “Britain can’t be better off outside than inside.” , says Jean-Pierre Pont, a member of parliament for the town of Boulogne. That, then, is their goal. To punish Britain for leaving the failing venture, even though it hurts France too. And they are so far lost to reason that they admit that, plainly and publicly.

How perfectly novel! An African country offering to pay for what they want, rather than claiming victimhood and demanding a handout.

Remarkably beautiful Penn Central T1 locomotive. I'd never seen these before. This is apparently a descendant of the S1 Streamliner from the 1939 World's Fair, with which I was familiar. This looks ferocious next to the rather pedestrian S1, though.
