Got bored talking politics on here with tin eared people so took the motorbike over to 15th century caravanserai Tash Rabat in Kyrgyzstan. Seems reasonable to me.

Fishing contributes around 0.04% to the UK economy. 55% of the annual value of England's fishing quota is held by foreign interests and three families on the Sunday Times Rich List control around 30% of the quota in England.

Seeing a feature on the news about TSMC who make most of the world's chips in Taiwan goes some way to explain why the US is so keen to keep it out of China's hands.
