So Ratcliffe thinks foreigners have colonised UK. Well, that’s literally what he has done in #Iceland: he’s the biggest private landowner there, buys farms to monopolise salmon fishing. Farmers now his vassals, rent land from him. Re his cmt on UK immigrants: hypocrisy is the word that comes to mind

@financialtimes.com I hugely appreciate the FT, my subscription improves my life! Some years ago the wrapping became compostable, wholly welcomed - but now, since ca 10 days, the bundled paper has a horrible (& unnecessary?!) INDESTRUCTIBLE PLASTIC BAND around it - why on earth is that done?!

Small countries with unexpected strength: US, mess with Denmark and you will have no more Lego, and ozempic and Mærsk (in 2022, Maersk was operating 15.3 percent of the global container ship fleet) will not sail to US ports. Let’s see what that feels like in some months time…

Flateyri, Iceland at 22:45 - mulling over the UK results. Labour better do a reasonably good job the next few years- otherwise, they will create a fertile ground for the far right/Reform populists

YET AGAIN: Eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula! Started at 8am this morning, new crack just opened, on the outskirts of Grindavík, a fishing village- lava flowing into the village. Everyone evacuated at 4am, as familiar earthquakes started. - Probably a decade long series of events.

Many amazing things about Mexico City - such as the climate and the food - but I also very much enjoy seeing all the VW beetles on the streets!
