@exchgr Don't you miss the days of Panorama and 'balanced' BBC reportage. Yes, we always knew Aunty Beeb had one eye on her paymaster HMG and were always 'centre right' but even that small thread has been cut now. Me? Solidly Radio 3. Short news to the point and sarky old Petroc going 'o look, the emperor is stark bollock naked again' in his own inimitable style with music! #Justsaying.

#geopolitics #oil #shell #bp Watch this space. When any of the 'big sisters' start dropping whispers something is afoot. Note well that #Musk and #Trump are significant stakeholders in #Exxon and #Texaco #USPolitics . My instinct is that they (shell + bp) are 'securing their independence' should they go really batshit crazee over there. Buy #gold futures (if I was making a market). #dystopia predicates #security for your average #oligarch #trillionaire #justsaying

The Guardian · Shell reportedly weighing up merits of making move to buy BPBy Lauren Almeida

#copyright #thepembrokepapers I publish and edit this. Of course it's marked ©️ but my understanding is that this only has to be 'acknowledged' and is very hard to legally enforce. A couple of decades ago some 'friendly' person stole a 20,000 word thesis of mine and I had no come back. #JustSaying
