...bitter power struggle for the Indonesian presidency, she was to be found not huddling with advisers, but watching the animated movie "Shrek." By all accounts Megawati has always imagined herself less a politician than a princess - the daughter of an overthrown king who would one day oust the usurper, reclaim her father's throne and save the nation...
...violence at anticapitalist demonstrations can't be attributed solely to radical groups like AFA.

And the pendulum has swung in the society away from the Thatcherite virtues of individuality and self-reliance. The trains stink and public services are in decline, and Britons are prepared to pay to improve them - not as much as other Europeans, perhaps, but they still want these things...
