Welcome to our latest edition.  This week we consider: political gravity as a scientific explanation for empires; USA and Russia, allies in the Crimea; falling downhill in Chesham and Amersham; a defence of vets and their bills; plus of course a Corbynista’s week, a crossword from Boffles and cartoons from AGGro.
