That book sent me on a very very deep hole researching North Passage expeditions, Antarctica and then reading a bio on Samuel Pepys! (which was EXTREMELY boring!) I'm certain that I am the only one who has read that book this century.

I'm on book 3.

A friend, who's read the series, always asks me if I've finished that 'magic carpet' series yet 😂

Mr Hannan spends a lot of his time travelling the world being wrong.

It must be very tiring.

Bahhh. Of course! Thanks for saving me further embarrassment 👍

That's 20/80 isn't it?

This is more extreme and stable since the 80's.

11% of the population hold 80% of household wealth?

ILR rules were changed when we lived in the UK, from 4 to 5 years. We had to completely reapply (ie pay double again) for the privelage to receive the same visa.

Two settled professionals with a son born in London, we left after Brexit.

I really don't understand the ongoing fixation with these surveys. They support/encourage populist views and have no real bearing on your real life or what you should be doing to lead a fulfilling and happy life.

It's a trap. Bite size pieces of winning or losing.

Thanks Michael. I will look out for that.

This is the kind of reporting and insight we sorely lack in mainstream media.

Instead we have the cone hotline.

This is a line for cones to call if they need help yeah?

Yeah?

Europe will need to step up. The US is not negotiating in Ukraine's interests.
