My view on the Briefing Room 5 weeks ago was:
If the Strait reopens in the next week, we have economic disruption but itโ€™s manageable.
Closed for another 4-8 weeks & we have high energy prices throughout the year.
Closed for few months & all bets are off and weโ€™re in a really grim economic world.

VIOLENCE is never the
answer,
my granddad used to
say. As such, when I appeared on The
Weakest Link a few years back, and
Anne Robinson asked "What
"V' is a
noun meaning 'physical force intend.
ed to hurt, damage or kill?'," I said
I didn't know, and subsequently got
voted off without winning a penny.
Thanks a fucking bunch, granddad.

A Hidden Side of the Maasai Mara For many months last year, a camera trap beside a remote river crossing in Kenyaโ€™s Maasai Mara quietly watched the forest...

These camera trap pictures from the Masaai Mara are absolutely, jaw-droppingly beautiful. Great story as well.

The U.S. Has Ditched Professional Diplomacy The first priority is Trumpโ€™s image, not national interests.

It is interesting to compare to the UK with the political appointment of Mandelson and others.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.
