There's an interesting quote from Mr Keynes.
'To see the British Prime Minister watching the company, with six or seven senses not available to ordinary men, judging character, motive, and subconscious impulse, perceiving what each was thinking and even what each was going to say next, and compounding with telepathic instinct the argument or appeal best suited to the vanity, weakness, or self-interest of his immediate auditor, was to realize that the poor President would be playing blind man's bluff in that party.'
OK - those were different people because he said that a good century or so ago. But the stakes - for the whole world - are now much higher. And yet we have 45 'negotiating'?...................
