    UK Farmers Trigger the Revolution – Politely.

    Bring on the revolution! The UK has gone Full Stalin taxing Farmers. How very dare they! The reality is UK farming is a national treasure and should be a source of national pride – but the IHT revolt is a distraction from land price distortion, overly powerful monopolistic buyers, and Brexit incompetence by the previous shower in power!

    The UK is Piggy-in-the-Middle in the Game of Global Trade and Geopolitics

    The UK is in danger of becoming the unloved Piggy-in-the-Middle in terms of new global trade and geopolitical alliances. While China and the US place the pieces on the board, the value of Airstrip 1 is unclear. We have chosen where we now lie. We have chosen badly.

    Nations succeed because they are ruthless in pursuit of their goals; good and bad.

    A Tale of Two Cities: A New Hope with Europe? 

    Athens and London? The power of positive politics is very evident in Greece. Curiously, the surprise appointment of David Cameron as UK Foreign Secretary might just hint at a positive outcome for the UK if it triggers a proper discussion on Brexit failure and our relationship with Europe.
