I suppose a welcome should be made for the USA attack on Boko Haram. The abduction and use of young women should be worthy of several airstrikes! Bastards! But things are never this simple – the terrorist group obviously has copious funding from somewhere (Middle East States look to be most culpable). France has recently withdrawn militarily from the region – so there is a vacuum. Will China try to fill it? America despite Trumps isolationism seems to be getting involved in various places. Yemen, Venezuela and Nigeria – where next?
Hey it is Boxing Day – shame about lack of Premiership matches – Boxing Day used to the day of derby’s before the suits took over. I have fond memories of Ipswich Town versus WHU at Portland Road – the heavy scent of tobacco over the terraces where we stood against an iron bar. No idea of the year or the result!
