  2. If only a black-faced Fawcett had travelled to Ukraine bearing jackfruits. The world would be a different place today, and a better one.

    1. That's true. I often pause and think "If only there were a program sending minstrels and jackfruits into trouble spots," then I go back to drinking.

    2. Alas, since a blackened face is so integral to the art form, it would be difficult for a minstrel to sustain his minstrelry after being beheaded.
      A jackfruit "surge" might be more successful, although I fear our enemies abroad would just use them for target practice.

    1. "He later claimed he was a “misunderstood animal lover” and refused to resign. But that explanation failed to convince the prosecutor of Bergamo, who ordered him to stand trial for defamation aggravated by racial discrimination. The trial is ongoing.

      After a spate of bad luck - including undergoing six operations, losing his mother and last week finding a 6ft snake in his house - Calderoli told the weekly gossip magazine, Oggi, that African spirits have plotted against him in revenge for the insult."

      He also might get prosecuted for killing that snake, which animal rights activists claim is a protected species.
