Into the void where the Axis of Evil once terrified the world, a new existential threat to civilisation has been born. Unbeknown to the 500,000 tourists who visit it each year, it seems that Salisbury Cathedral is built on an inter-dimensional whirlpool which sucks evil down towards hell like sand in an hour-glass. Vladimir Putin ordered the elaborately-difficult murder of Sergei Skripal because he thought the defector was evil, and evil deserves the effort. Whoever tried to steal the Magna Carta, whoever is sending bombs to Donald Trump's enemies, whoever strokes Tommy Robinson's cancerous ego is not evil. If we stop saying it's evil - if we stop saying maybe that's just Salisbury for you - we might be able to fix it.
