Burmese days

A daylight woodland run this morning which revealed the full extent of tree damage after the recent storm. Sadly, being Glasgow, most of the fallen timber will be burned as scrap, rather than recycled or used for fuel.

To continue yesterday’s theme of delusional foreign policy, William Hague has now followed the well trodden path of Western politicians in a “historic” visit to Burma, where the junta are showing modest signs of reform, although most dissidents with a lower public profile than Aung San Suu Kyi have yet to be released. Such a concern for Burmese human rights is heart warming, and clearly not a smokescreen for trying to re-establish trade links in a region dominated by China, nor a ploy to make Britain feel important. So William, take no notice of those people that say you are a pompous clown.
