Examining the wider scene, east of Suez, the liberal Manchester Guardian observed that "Asian opinion objects to Western bases, and since bases on hostile ground are of little value, we shall soon have to go." Accepting this fact, the Guardian wondered whether Asian nations had examined the consequences: "In terms of a major war, Singapore and Ceylon are probably not important. [But] the military danger to non-Communist Asia is of minor wars, not of one major outbreak." Once the British withdraw, they cannot return on instant call; it takes weeks to make an abandoned base operational. Then it might...

Labor Party thinking is tending to the opinion that it is useless to insist on cast-iron guarantees from local populations against future contingencies when, in an emergency, the British will act as the emergency requires anyway.

If you mean me, the best job that was ever offered to me was to become a landlord in a brothel.* In my opinion it's the perfect milieu for an artist to work in. The place is quiet during the morning hours, which is the best time of day to work. My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food and a little whiskey...
