I only really knew Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage and later as a TV host; I didn't know until reading his obituary of all his activism for LGBT people in this country, at a time when homophobia was much worse than it is today.
The term "national treasure" definitely applies to him, and he will be deeply missed, having gone far too soon.
Rest in Peace.
The ICC wants Putin to face charges of war crimes for the abduction of children
It's clear that there is an attempt to ethnically alter Ukraine, or at least the parts that Russia controls, to make it more Russian - and putting these children in Russian families is just a part of that. Putin has many crimes to answer for, although I am not sure whether he will answer for them in any earthly court. If he is overthrown, Russia handing him over will likely be a condition of normalising relations, but he may end up dying first - and facing a more perfect judge.
