...several thousand Montagnards gathered in Dak Lak, Gia Lai and Kon Tum provinces and clashed with waiting security forces. It was the largest show of protest in Vietnam since 2001, when similar demonstrations occurred in the same region. On this, both sides agree. On every other point, bitter disputes rage.

I tell my London friends that they are being cheated. I rage about the cost of public transport and inform them that in many parts of the world one does not need to buy a ?121-a-year TV license from the government in order to watch the Eurovision Song Contest and re-runs of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
