Just lie back & think of …

Back in June/early July I was struck by the number of radio interviews I heard with powerful men – politicians, financiers, central bankers – who sounded plain scared. I had intended to name names, but my blogging activity was interrupted & to do so now would be egregious

Despite events I have not heard anybody sounding scared recently. Some seem just to be lying low, or at least not gracing the airways

Plenty of angry people have been interviewed

But otherwise people sound almost calm, if not in control then just recognising that really they can only just do their best, take each decision as it comes

Resigned to whatever fate may bring
