    In 1975, a French mercenary landed in the Comoros, a chain of small islands off East Africa, and decided he was going to run the place.

    Bob Denard staged four coups, converted to Islam, built a farm, and controlled the country from the shadows for over a decade.

    It was a story of Cold War deals, shifting loyalties, and one last coup that ended his run.

    • Location and poverty of the Comoros Islands
    • French rule and 1975 independence under Ahmed Abdallah
    • First coup by French mercenary Robert Denard
    • Denard's mercenary past and French Africa links

    How did a small band of Norman soldiers in 1170 begin 800 years of English control over Ireland?

    It started as a deal between rival Irish kings. It ended in plantation, dispossession, and a divided island.

    This is the story of how a short-term alliance became a centuries-long occupation, and why it still shapes politics in Ireland today.

    • Anglo-Normans enter Ireland: Diarmait seeks Strongbow’s help.
    • Henry II claims authority; Dublin-centred foothold established.
    • The Pale forms; Normans adopt Irish ways, Old English.
    • Henry VIII breaks with Rome; declares himself King of Ireland.
    • Surrender and regrant changes land and inheritance rules.
    • Elizabeth I’s conquest; Nine Years’ War threatens English control.
    • Battle of Kinsale defeat; O’Neill’s submission follows.
    • Flight of the Earls ends Gaelic political power.
    • Plantation of Ulster seeds division leading to later partition.
    • Cromwell’s massacres; “To Hell or to Connacht” resettlement.

    Who should decide if you are guilty: the state, or a group of 12 ordinary citizens?

    England is now considering getting rid of jury trials for thousands of cases. It would be the biggest change to the justice system since the Middle Ages.

    • Crown Court backlog: years-long waits for trials.
    • Government bill to limit juries for mid-level offences.
    • Serious crimes still keep juries: murder, rape, terrorism.
    • Legal community warns against losing a key safeguard.
    • How jury trials work in England and Wales.
    • England uses juries; Europe uses judge-led trials.
    • History: Athens, Assize of Clarendon, Magna Carta.
    • Purpose of juries: legitimacy, independence, protect against state power.
    • Jury nullification shown: Penn, Ponting, Bristol Colston statue.
    • Debate: efficiency versus rights, slippery slope concerns.
