Pippi, you're the best. 

























Hello 'Pussy' it's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Pippi Longstocking: 

British leaders were infuriated this week when the name of the Manchester concert bomber was disclosed by American officials, and further outraged when The New York Times ran investigators’ photographs of the bomb remnants. After Prime Minister Theresa May complained bitterly to you, you denounced the leaks on Thursday and vowed to find and punish the leakers.
But when it comes to keeping secrets, you are hardly a model.
You blithely passed on to the Russians sensitive counterterrorism intelligence from Israel — and publicly seemed to confirm the breach after your staff denied it. Speaking by phone to the widely scorned president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, you revealed the presence of two nuclear submarines off North Korea, a highly unusual disclosure.
