If that had happened, we wouldn’t have gotten this wonderful tidbit saluting the group that became Al Qaeda.

BREAK: Nigel Farage says under a Reform government the body of Napoleon III could be returned from England to France.
The last French emperor's final resting place is in The Imperial Crypt at St Michael's Abbey in Farnborough.
He died in exile in England in 1873 following the fall of the Second Empire. His body was never returned to France because they didn't want it, and due to his wife's wishes. She was later buried alongside him.
This must surely be the first time Count Binface has been compared to Napoleon

Stanley being, among other things, Leopold II's agent in the Congo Free State. But we like to forget about that bit of his career.
England v DR Congo is the only World Cup Round of 32 game where one country’s highest mountain was named after a member of parliament of the other.
DR Congo’s highest point, Mt Stanley (5,109 m / 16,763 ft), was named after Sir Henry Stanley (‘Dr Livingston, I presume?).
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year.
Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
'Executive orders' are a foreign concept to the British constitution because the prime minister is not a president. Perhaps Farage is intent on usurping the throne?
