Since long before he became president, Donald Trump has been attacking and insulting Kim Jong-un and North Korea.

On Saturday morning New Zealand time, North Korea carried out its latest missile test – a modified mobile Scud which it launched towards the Sea of Japan.

Last Thursday United Nations Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon announced a new set of sanctions against North Korea.

Regular readers will know I’ve been looking for a new name for my weekly Sunday posts. I’ve decided on “Winner of the Week” for Bouquet/Saint. And because he put in so many suggestions I had to choose one of Paxton Marshall’s for Brickbat/Sinner, so I’m going with “Worry of the Week.” Friday saw the 14th […]
