Damn, I thought this was going to be about a UFO crash in the UK with alien bodies found inside.
But you were right, it is about UFO’s …well, United Fellowship of Oafs. We’ve all been in this together from the very start. The UK nearly always shadows the US in these matters, and is often on the tail end that suffers the compounded effect of ‘last carriage’ collision. Actually, they are ahead in one sense, having lost their manufacturing base a long time ago, to financial services, and so are used the turbulence, but not necessarily better at coping. Alistair certainly isn’t going to be a ‘darling’ amongst his peers for that gaff.
