\u201cIt\u2019s the edge of the world and all of western civilization, the Sun may rise in the East at least its settled in a fine location..\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a Saturday\u2026Well done Wales on a well-deserved Grand Slam. But, I wonder if there is a hidden message in Scotland\u2019s remarkable comeback being dashed as England clawed back an undeserved draw at Twickenham? The Scots haven’t won on English turf since 1983. They played a blinder second half.. while all the English could provide was a surly Farrell dodging a yellow card.  Perhaps it was a lesson in the tedious inevitability of modern life and a timely reminder it\u2019s not a fairy-tale? (Shame\u2026 we wis robbed!) Perhaps Trump, Trade Wars, Income Inequality, the mis-match between asset prices and reality, and all the rest is just stuff that\u2019s stupid, unfair and just the way it is..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, back on Planet Misery\u2026 what we got to look forward to? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boeing saga rumbles on. It could be a month till we learn what caused the crash a week ago. The focus is not just upon the possibility Boeing has failed to correct and fully inform users of stall-prevention system problems on the B-737 Max, but now on the US FAA for its dithering and lack of clear action. The agency has been rudderless and leaderless for over a year, neglected by the administration after Trump wasn\u2019t able to put his personal pilot at its head!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s another last chance for a Brexit deal with Theresa May going for third time lucky – apparently. The Westminster rumours say she\u2019s still likely to lose with many of the Hard-Brexit crowd still hoping to achieve a No-Deal exit – justifying it as giving the UK a stronger post exit negotiating position with Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
