10 September 2019 #HongKong #Brexit It is now quite clear that we are approaching a kind of situation we encounter which the brave would call a stale mate. A even seesaw that does not allow us to rest either on our laurels or give up on our hopes. It can be nerve wracking to be […]

6 September 2019 Yesterday a veteran wrote a piece that was nostalgic about his days as a young officer in Kashmir, circa 1969.
