When we look back through the archived pages of our newspapers, we get a bird’s eye view of how things were done over 100 years ago. Some things really stand out.
Perhaps the first thing that jumps off the pages is the lack of what we would today call “political correctness”. Opinions and humour back in the day were pretty much unbridled.

John’s column explains how the goals of the conferences are based on some pretty shaky premises and agreement isn’t happening anytime soon.
Perhaps the problem is similar to a lot of issues, where governments set out to solve problems but often bog down.
