For @thetimes's books of the year list, I've chosen eight titles in current affairs and politics. First up, The Hour of the Predator by @giulianode 'An unsettling, dreamlike series of vignettes and meditations on the upending of the international order'

Interesting piece. One implication of it is that older generations in particular may have to cede some of their privileges in order to protect the democratic system they cherish. Not much indication of that at the moment.

I wrote this about why I am a pessimist about democracy. Modern democracy is a recent, relatively untested and historically very weird phenomenon. Above all it is the product of some highly unusual historical circumstances that no longer obtain. times-comment.com/democraticpess…

This is a really serious story. West Midlands Police will absolutely need to explain how it ended up using misinformation and lies to justify its decisions, not least to concerned members of the Jewish community.

Law enforcement are supposed to make public order decisions on the basis of credible evidence. Whether you consider yourself pro-Palestine, pro-Israel or both, that is a reasonable expectation. Yet Netherlands police has told us the secret "intelligence" used by West Mid Police…
