Is ‘z’ even in the British alphabet?

39 yo American. This is the first time I have ever seen or heard of the word normality… And I read a decent amount of British regency literature.

So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?

In fairness to Colin Powell, my understanding was he didn’t know it was a lie/ trumped up evidence at the time, and was pretty bitter about it in later years.

Maybe new? Their account has been suspended (I know the temporary looks like that, unsure about the permanent suspension).

The reason behind priests not being allowed to marry originally had nothing to do with their faith though.
