Conservative Matt Warman has retained his seat as MP for Boston and Skegness, taking 27,271 votes - a majority of 16,572.
In an eventful night, Paul Kenny and the Labour Party returned to the second place status quo the party is used to with 10,699, while in third place UKIP's Paul Nuttall took only 3,308 votes - 11,337 votes less than his predecessor Robin Hunter-Clarke.
New party the Blue Revolution Party, lead by Mike Gilbert took 283 votes, while the Greens had 547 and the Liberal Democrats had 771.
Celebrating the result, Mr Warman said he was delighted people had shown their faith in the Conservative Party.
He said: "I think the results reflect the issues that matter here – that is a strong Brexit and a strong leader to deliver it.
"However, the night is not over yet. Results are varied across the country and we will have to see how accurate the exit polls were.
"For me there is real pressure to deliver the Brexit deal this campaign has been based on and go beyond Brexit.
Labour candidate Paul Kenny said he felt this election campaign had 'exposed the UKIP party'.
He said he would be asking Mr Warman to fight for local school funding and to give EU nationals already here the right to stay in the Brexit deal.


One of the key issues facing every investor is to find the right balance of risk as opposed to gain. If you play it safe, you get back minimal returns, with some pre-specified interest. If you go for high profit margins, the risk factor is something that you learn to live with. Faced with these opposing current, the insurance industry has come up an innovative solution in the form of equity indexed annuities, which give an investor the best of both worlds – A percentage share in profits, if any, from investments in the stock market, coupled with the security of a guaranteed minimal amount.
The returns from these annuities are based on the increase in the stock or equity index, such as the S&P 500. If stocks go up, you get a share of the profit. If the stocks fall, you won't lose any money, since your contract assures you minimal returns of principal amount plus pre specified interest (usually 3%). In effect, you have a chance of making a profit, but you are not liable to bear any losses. So who does? And how can someone offer you stock market profits without putting your investment at risk?
The insurance company that issues the annuity takes a percentage of the profits from the increase in stocks. The percentage of profits allocated to you may vary from 50% to 90%, depending on the company, amount of investment and the type of contract. The risk of investments being wiped out at the stock market is taken entirely by the company. Therefore, you are paying a part of your stock market profits in return for the company assuming all the risk.
There are many things which you need to factor in, before you can even begin to think about the returns from equity indexed annuities. For example, people who purchase such an annuity at the start of a prolonged stock market crash, such as that in the 70's or just before the dot-com bubble crash of 2001 may have to adopt a purchase and hold policy. They will have to wait until the market breaches the previous high and keeps going up even further, before they can consider the annuity as a profitable investment.
This requires patience, a long term point of view and an in-depth knowledge of how stock markets and indexed annuities work. The silver lining here is that you only have to worry about profit, and not the loss, unlike traditional stock market players.
Please note that equity indexed annuities are long term investments, and subject to surrender changes plus and IRS early withdrawal penalties prior to age 59 ½. to the tune of 10%. However, under certain conditions, you are allowed to withdraw up to 10% of your funds without incurring any penalty.
The specific terms of the EIA, and how and when interest is credited to your account will vary depending on the issuing company. For example, the interest could be credited annually based on the increase in the value of your account, or the contract may specify that the interest is calculated only at the end of the term of the EIA, which could extend to years. The amount of profit you can make from a rise in the linked stock index also changes depending on the type of EIA and the issuing company. They can set an upper limit on potential gains by allocating a percentage share of index performance, growth caps or they can implement margins.
An EIA is a tax deferred investment opportunity and if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket during retirement, then you have another powerful incentive to invest into equity indexed annuities. Please note that the possible benefits from an EIA may vary depending on the terms of your contract, market fluctuations, withdrawal date and the sagacity of the investing company. As with any investment, default risks apply and consultation with a trusted financial professional is advised.

Concrete or Foundation Problems in Huntington Beach?
Find smart and budget-friendly strategies to building structure, soaked basements or sunken cement slab problems.
If you are concerned your house is looking at one of these challenges, set aside a few minutes for a fast call today to talk about it.
Why not spend a couple of minutes on a short call, and someone can take a look at what is going on and arrange a moment to come over to your house and offer you options on how they could get it taken care of.
Sometimes it is rather obvious when you have a problem.
Other times, the warning signs aren't so easy to see.
And these troubles can occur at any type of house, from a new home to an older one.
• Floors have become uneven, sagging or weak, or tiles have become loose.
Can These Issues Be Repaired?
Homeowners frequently presume their house issue is likely to be nearly impossible to fix, but, actually, almost all issues can be corrected.
However, these kinds of house repairs require trained and experienced foundation repair companies and teams, utilizing special tools, to modify and correct a settling home foundation, perform a house leveling or successfully complete another serious structure issue.
If your slab or basement keeps getting wet from time to time, they will figure out why it's happening and how to stop it.
Your basement waterproofing strategy may not even entail any work inside the structure itself, but instead focus just on the ground and landscape areas around the home.
They will come up with a way to resolve your situation.
If you have a part of your cement courtyard, walkway or driveway which has sunken over time, they can normally get that corrected.
The work procedure used is referred to as either slab jacking or mud jacking.
During the mud jacking process, your work crew will shoot a mud material beneath the portion of the slab that has to be raised up.
This heavy mixture flows into the gaps beneath the slab, stiffens and then drives the slab up. Pretty cool.
Aside from seeking a better appearance, the key reason homeowners decide on mudjacking is the fact that walking on two adjoining mismatched cement segments might lead to trips, stumbles, accidents and stubbed toes. Almost all projects are completed in only a few hours.
What Leads This to Happen to Southern California Homes?
Well, it's basically just the physical properties of the ground and soil.
The soil beneath your structure changes and moves around. It expands and contracts with exposure to rain water and temperature changes.
These actions are super slow and negligible, however they can be ongoing.
This continual expanding and contraction of the ground is straining for even the latest homes.
The main factor to keeping a home structure solid is to keep excessive water from around and beneath the house.
First, a home which is built on a perfectly graded yard will experience rainwater flow away from the structure and not toward it.
Plus a house reinforced by sensible rain gutters and maybe an additional water drainage strategy such as a French drain system, will also be in a better situation to not have unwanted water under and around your structure.
One major factor in determining possible structure issues is the makeup of the ground the house is situated on.
There are specific types of soil which capture more moisture than other soils do.
A different source of property issues is having a major tree growing next to your house.
This may lead to issues if the roots expand below the house and apply pressure on sewer and water pipes and maybe your structure.
The expansive roots of a significant tree too near your home can also take too much moisture out of the soil beneath your structure, making it too dried up during our Summer dry season.
These elements promote the beginning of modest cracks through the years in solid surfaces such as cement.
Very little cracks bring in air and moisture and might grow into big cracks.
And just one sizable crack can produce trouble.
If you believe you've got a problem with your property, you need to get it looked at and repaired if necessary.
The inspection isn't something you should put off for long.
Cement problems will not get better with time.
In fact, they usually get worse.
You might be willing to put off having the corrective work started, yet it might be in your best interest to fix it head-on without delay.
If moisture penetrates a slab or basement, it can lead to problems such as humidity and mold. And the amount of outside moisture leaking in will often growth each year.
If you're looking into trying to sell your home, there isn't any home buyer who wants to buy a house which has any kind of structure trouble or has any signals of water seepage under your house.
And, if you are trying to sell a home, you need to let any serious buyer about any large issues with your property or you could be in legal difficulty later on.
In spite of how awful your situation may appear, nearly all cases can usually be repaired.
Some projects are harder than others and some might include a long and complicated process, but they can get done.
So try not to get worried until you have your home looked at by a specialist.

New Zealand have commenced their final preparations for the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 with a 2-1 loss to Tanzania in Dar es Salaam on Thursday.
The All Whites opened the scoring in just the tenth minute through prolific striker Shane Smeltz who converted a penalty following a handball for his eleventh goal in his last nine outings.
The Taifa Stars equalised ten minutes after half-time and then secured an 89th winner with the All Whites denied a first win on African soil. The match was also notable for the international debut of New Zealand's 17-year-old striker Chris Wood.
"It was a good opportunity to get back on the field," said New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert. "Tanzania were very quick but the pleasing thing was that they didn't get in behind us too much. Fatigue certainly came into play but the first spell was particularly pleasing."
New Zealand now face Botswana in Gaborone on Saturday before they take on FIFA World Cup™ winners Italy in their final outing prior to the FIFA Confederations Cup. New Zealand will open their campaign against Spain on 14 June before further Group A matches against hosts South Africa on 17 June and Asian champions Iraq on three days later.

High-profile Atlanta lawyer Ernest Greer is becoming co-president of Greenberg Traurig LLP, a move that will realign the leadership of the law firm's Atlanta office.
Greer, who served as chairman of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce in 2014, will continue to be based in Atlanta although most of his duties will now focus on client development on a national and international scale.
Ted Blum, who has been co-managing the Atlanta office with Greer, now will be the top manager of the office.
At the same time, the firm has just brought on a veteran litigator — Mark Grantham — to serve as the Atlanta co-chair of the business litigation practice. Grantham opened the Atlanta office of Hunton & Williams in 1994. Then in 2006, he and several partners opened the Atlanta office of DLA Piper Global Law Firm.
Greer said Greenberg Traurig has its executive team in various offices around the country, so he does not have to move as he takes on an expanded national and international role with the firm.
"Atlanta is home. It's where my children have been raised," Greer said. "It has had a material impact on me. I will continue to play a key role in the Atlanta community, but so will Ted, and so will Mark." Greer said he intends to continue serving on the boards of Achieve Atlanta, Children's Healthcare and the Atlanta Police Foundation. He also is vice chairman of the Atlanta History Center.
Greenberg Traurig now has about 100 lawyers in Atlanta, an office that is becoming increasingly important for the firm.
Blum also has become more involved in the community. He is chairman of the advisory board of the Chick-fil-A Foundation; he is a member of the Rotary Club of Atlanta; he serves on the board of Junior Achievement of Georgia; and he is general counsel of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.
Meanwhile, Grantham has been actively involved with the Atlanta International Arbitration Society (AtlAS), a nonprofit that is positioning Atlanta as a venue for the resolution of international commercial and investment disputes.
The firm also is trying to combine veteran lawyers with younger ones. For example, Grantham, 64, will co-chair the Atlanta business litigation practice with a younger partner — Richard Valladares, who has been listed in trade publications as a rising star.
Both Greer and Blum credit internationally renowned entertainment attorney Joel Katz for the success of the Atlanta office.
Katz opened the Greenberg Traurig Atlanta office in 1998 when he sold his practice to what was then a Miami-based law firm. Since then, Greenberg Traurig has become a firm with multiple bases of operation. The executive chairman lives in New York and the CEO lives in Denver. Its executive officers are based in multiple cities.
The firm has been strategically trying to build a full-service firm in Atlanta. Last July, it expanded its government law and policy practice with the addition of Chuck McMullen, Tharon Johnson and Blake Ashbee, who had been with Dentons/McKenna Long Aldridge.
Blum explained that the firm had a strong government and public policy practice in other markets, but not in Atlanta.
The latest coup is Grantham. Over the years, Greer, Blum and Grantham have tried to recruit each other.


CASE NAME: Wolfram R. Seidel GmbH v. Crotton S.A.
The case concerns a contract between a Spanish company (seller/defendant) and a German company (buyer/plaintiff) for the sale of Bermuda shorts intended for Egypt and Iran; the transport was the responsibility of the seller, which had an obligation to deliver the goods to Dubai. The parties had already had commercial relations earlier. The contract stipulated an advance payment, and the German buyer satisfied this requirement. The seller, however, did not deliver the goods and proceeded to avoid the contract arguing that the buyer had breached its obligation to sell the goods in countries of the Middle East, as garments from previous sales contracts had been detected in Japan.
The court found, in the first place, that the contract had been concluded between the parties through the exchange of electronic mails showing the offer and the acceptance of the order (CISG article 23).
Secondly, the court found that the sales contract contained a fundamental condition that the goods should be resold in countries of the Middle East, but that there was no provision giving the buyer an obligation to verify that its customers in the Middle East sold the products only in such countries. There was therefore no obligation on the part of the buyer to supervise the chain of sales following its own sale to its customer in the Middle East.
As was adequately demonstrated in the proceedings, the buyer performed its obligation to sell the goods to countries in the Middle East. There being no basis for the seller to declare the contract avoided, it was concluded that the seller had breached the sales contract by not delivering the goods stipulated in the contract (CISG article 40), all the more so as the contract was not a distribution contract but a sales contract relating not to delivery of goods by instalments but to a single delivery, even though other contracts existed. Consequently, avoidance of the contract could not be based on an expected future breach of contract by the buyer -- something that had not yet occurred. Such avoidance was permitted in the Convention (CISG article 73(2)) only in cases of delivery of goods by instalments, and not with individual, isolated deliveries as in the present case.
Thirdly, as a result of the foregoing, the court found that the buyer was entitled under CISG article 45 to claim damages in accordance with CISG articles 74 to 77 and to declare the contract avoided under CISG article 49(1)(a).
With regard to the refunding of the price, the buyer claimed a small part of the price that was not returned by the seller with the argument that this related to the cost generated by the bank transfer. The court found that that amount must also be refunded since the circumstance in question was not demonstrated and, moreover, the restitution of the price referred to the whole quantity paid, as could be deduced from CISG article 81(2).
The court also awarded the buyer interest on the basis of CISG article 84(1).
Regarding damages, the court awarded to the buyer, under the heading of consequential damages, the costs of lawyers' fees in relation to extrajudicial claims addressed to the plaintiff outside Spain. Under the heading of loss of earnings, the court ordered the seller to pay the buyer the difference between the price of the sales contract breached and the price that the buyer would have received from its customer.
Wolfram R. Seidel GmbH. v. Crotton S.A.
Plaintiff [Buyer] requested from the Defendant [Seller] the payment of � 40,686.11 as a result of the termination of a contract for the sale of Bermuda shorts.
The contract asserted that the delivery of the goods would be in the Middle East and that the [Buyer] would pay in advance, including the cost of transportation to Dubai, the total price of � 129,154.48. The contract also set out that the [Buyer]'s customer would resell the goods in the Middle East. Nevertheless, before the date of delivery, the [Seller] ascertained that the [Buyer]'s customer would possibly resell the goods to Japan, a place where the [Seller] had an exclusive distributor. Therefore, the [Seller] immediately notified the [Buyer] that it would not deliver the goods. The [Buyer] alleged that it asked the [Seller] to respect their contract, but the [Seller] refused to perform its central obligation.
Nonetheless, the [Seller] paid back the principal amount previously anticipated by the [Buyer], however, discounting the amount of � 257.12 (bank transfer costs). [Seller] alleged that the [Buyer] had breached its obligation of reselling the goods exclusively to customers in the Middle East and that this contradictory behavior by the [Buyer] was an anticipatory breach of contract, which would exempt the [Seller] from paying interest and unpaid extra costs.
[Buyer] requested from the [Seller] return of the remaining unpaid amount (� 257.12), as well as legal fees related to the expenses with [Seller]'s notification (� 4.070,47), lost profits (� 36,000) and legal interest (� 358.52).
The Court of First Instance sustained [Buyer]'s claim in its entirety.
The Court a quo applied the United Nations Convention on International Sales of Goods (Art. 1(1) CISG) and held that the contract had been concluded in accordance with Art. 23 CISG. Moreover, the Court stated that the [Buyer] was not contractually responsible to assure that its customers would not resell the goods to places far from the Middle East.
The Court held that the [Buyer] did not commit an anticipatory breach of contract because its obligation was only to deliver the goods to a customer based in the Middle East, not to oversee the later destination of the goods. Additionally, the Court stated that the contract was neither a distributorship contract, nor an installment contract governed by Art. 73(2) CISG. Accordingly, the [Seller] could not avoid the contract by claiming an anticipatory breach by the [Buyer].
Finally, the Court decided that the [Buyer] performed its obligations and the [Seller] breached its central obligation to deliver the goods. Consequently, the [Buyer] was allowed to declare the contract avoided under Art. 49(1)(a) CISG and to claim damages in accordance with Article 45(1) (a) CISG.
The Court sustained [Buyer]'s claim and compelled the [Seller] to repay the amount due, in accordance with Art. 81(2) CISG, plus interest on that amount under Art. 84(1) CISG. The Court also granted to the [Buyer] the payment of legal fees as well as lost profits (Art. 74 CISG) calculated as the difference between the purchase price and the price agreed by the [Buyer] and its customer.

Report: NWA Filming New Content From March 21-24, Announcement Coming Soon
Robert DeFelice Feb 28, 2021 4:03PM
The NWA is ready to roll once more, according to new reports.
Following the NWA removing all content from their YouTube channel, fans began to speculate about the future of the brand.
Now, Dave Meltzer has reported on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that the NWA will hold a set of TV tapings from March 21-24 as they resume original content.
Meltzer also noted there'll be "a positive announcement" that doesn't have anything to do with AEW coming this week in regard to their content being pulled off of YouTube.
As of now, there is no specific location set for the tapings but most recently NWA television was taped in Georgia.
NWA Powerrr was a YouTube series that was gaining traction throughout late 2019 and early 2020 before the global pandemic.
The NWA roster will look different as many top stars are now signed to either WWE or AEW and sadly, Jocephus aka The Question Mark, passed away.
Fightful will continue to monitor the story and report any and all updates.

Pregnancy is the most wonderful phase of any women's life. But sometimes, pregnancy may be of high-risk, it seems to be scary to sound, but this categorization of pregnancy by the experts is just to give a special care while any complications are suspected for the mother or the fetus. So, not to worry as the expert hands are always there to care you and your little one.
How is expert care worthwhile for a high risk pregnancy?
Your doctor will give you more medical attention than a woman with no risk pregnancy. You will be asked to come for more follow-up visits and undergo more diagnostic tests. A frequent ultrasound is carried out to ensure the well being of the fetus. Regular blood pressure monitoring and urine analysis is performed.
When is my pregnancy considered as a-High risk one?
Your pregnancy can be a high risk one if there is any increased risk of health crisis for you and your baby. To detect the problems and manage them in advance your healthcare expert would be more watchful than when your pregnancy is at no risk.
What could be the management for a high risk pregnancy?
Patient education on high-risk deliveries and postnatal care, as a course of prenatal service, the expert team prepares you for the next steps of the pregnancy, by supporting and minimizing the stress in the mother and the family members.
Which conditions put my pregnancy at risk?
Certain health conditions may increase your risk of preterm labor, preeclampsia and placental problems during delivery. But not always, there will be a problem for you and your baby if it is declared that your pregnancy is at high risk, however, the following health issues would be the cause of concern.
Your cervix changes its position when you are fertile. It does not remain in the same position throughout the day. Therefore, it is best to check the cervix in the same time each day. When you are not fertile, you would feel the cervix low and hard. If you are fertile, your cervix is (SHOW) soft, high, open, and wet.

Sergio Aguero set to return for Man City's clash against Arsenal
By Kyle LynchDec 16, 2015, 3:15 PM EST
Manchester City is hoping to get a huge boost next Monday, as Sergio Aguero looks set to return from injury for City's match against Arsenal.
Aguero has missed City's last four matches with a heel problem he suffered against Southampton in November.
[ MORE: Premier League Playback ]
While the Citizens have won three of the four matches without Aguero, getting their star striker back for a crucial clash at the Emirates is massive.
The Argentinian international has played in just ten league matches for City this season, but is still the team's leading scorer with seven goals. He returned to full training on Wednesday, and manager Manuel Pellegrini expects Aguero to be available next Monday against Arsenal, barring any setbacks.
Monday's match is a big one, as City currently sit third in the Premier League, just one point behind second-place Arsenal. With leaders Leicester facing a tricky trip to Liverpool, a win at the Emirates could possibly see either side jump to the top of the table in the final match before Christmas.

Wow, doesn't time fly. It was more than a year ago we reached Gibraltar. 19th April 2010 to be precise. Why we wanted to visit I really don't know, I doubt it was more than just wanting to visit the tiny country, as well as hopefully enjoying some decent English style fish and chips. So, visit we did. Staying the night on the Spanish side in La Linea. Taking the but across the border into Gibraltar proper the next morning.
Obviously the famous Rock of Gibraltar features heavily in the images. So, I'll just post an image wall and let you look. Remember, click and you can get big high quality images. Enjoy.
So, what did we think? Very pleasantly surprised. Hopefully some more pics soon, but the whole town/country felt like a small English town transplanted into the tropics. It was hot, sunny and beautiful, but still with that English look and feel. Peclulair and amazing. Go Visit.
I love your monkey photos. We went to Gibraltar in April this year. Apart from the monkeys and the rock I thought it was pretty ordinary and the fish and chips were not much good either.


Corinne Trang is a former editor of Saveur magazine turned cookbook author. We caught up with her to talk about her latest cookbook, Switch It Up, which she wrote in partnership with the American Diabetes Association, and the importance of balance and diversity in your diet.
In the 1990s, I was as an editor at Saveur magazine. A friend encouraged me to branch out with my cooking, so one thing led to another and I wrote my first cookbook in 1999. Nine books later, I'm still writing cookbooks, as well as taking on various teaching and lecture opportunities to talk about current food trends.
What is your philosophy with cooking?
I see food as a healing art. I focus a lot on Asian-style cooking, like Chinese and Indian, as well as Ayurvedic. Eastern food philosophies are centered around food as a healing art, so this is what led me eventually to apply Asian cooking principles to any kind of cooking. My new cookbook is not solely Asian-focused, but the message I want to convey is how to incorporate healthy elements of cooking, many of which are Eastern philosophies, and make it easy to cook at home.
Variety is important. If you eat the same thing, you're not developing your palate. You won't understand balance or health, because having a healthy diet and lifestyle requires variety. You can't eat roast chicken and broccoli every day. The more exciting the meal, the more you're engaged in trying new ideas.
I've heard you use the term "architecture" when it comes to cooking. Can you elaborate on this?
Whether it's Western, European or Asian, there is an architecture to cooking. For example, in Chinese cooking when you use a wok, you typically use grape seed or peanut oil. In Italian cooking, you use a skillet with olive oil. Chinese recipes often incorporate rice noodles, while Italian recipes use pasta. To season, you typically use soy sauce for Chinese, salt for Italian.
Cooking any style is an identical structure or "architecture," it's just a matter of using different pantry items. But the one guiding principle I stress is to always include lots of veggies; that's where the balance comes in. I advise that 70-75 percent of your diet should be green and plant-based, followed by protein, then carbs.
In my new book, I wanted to make recipes fun and easy, with easily accessible ingredients, and teach good structure and principles of healthy cooking. I also wanted to create a resource to make meal planning and putting balanced meals together easier for people. This is a goal of the American Diabetes Association.
We have to start thinking that way. All too often, we just grab a meal or quickly make a meal, but don't think about all of the elements. For example, you're going to eat pasta and meatballs, but where are the greens? How do you bring some balance to this meal? Why not sauté some greens? Incorporate peas. Or make a big salad.
The idea with Switch It Up is how you can easily mix and match recipes to create different meals. There are only 50 core recipes in the book, but the combination possibilities are endless. For many people, when you have a cookbook with 1,000 recipes, how many of us are actually going to cook every single recipe? What we do is flip through, hone in on favorites and make those over and over. I love the art of the word, but often times there is so much text and writing and people only have so much time to dedicate to food. I wish we all had more time.
This book is written in partnership with the American Diabetes Association. But it seems that anyone can benefit from reading and using it.
What's healthy for someone with a health condition is healthy for everyone. And healthy food doesn't have to be boring. We all should be more conscious about the amount of sugar and salt we consume, and to control portions. I have several friends with diabetes. I've always been interested in anything that is related to food and health, whether it's diabetes or cancer-preventative foods.
For an Asian kitchen: soy sauce, rice vinegar, grape seed oil and dark sesame (toasted) oil as a finishing oil, not for cooking. In my fridge: ginger, garlic and scallions. These are aromatics. When I cook Japanese, I remove the garlic. In Asian culture, sugar is used a bit to balance the saltiness. Additionally, I like to have a little bit of spice, like chili sauce.

Switch It Up is available at ShopDiabetes.org, in bookstores nationwide or by calling 1-800-232-6733.

It's Lulu again! Last time I posted about Lulu, I was obsessing over my colleague's super cute purse. Low and behold, one of my favourite high street stores Uniqlo have done it again. They have collaborated with Lulu Guinness to bring us some cute cute cute (and affordable!) tops. This is the second time the designer has worked with Uniqlo and I have to say that I was very excited to get my paws on one of these beauties. I opted for the cat and mouse print white top with Peter Pan collar (it also comes in black) - mainly because it is covered in cats, it's super feminine and it was a bargain £12.90!
The lovely and always well dressed Emilia and I decided to check out an "alternative" all american afternoon tea at BRGR.CO - think of your traditional english afternoon tea and swap finger sandwiches for mini burgers and fries, cakes for mini milkshake / cheesecake / brownie / doughnut and tea for bourbon ice tea and prosseco. We didn't really know what it would be like, the restaurant seemed relatively new and we both like to take afternoon tea quite seriously so this had the potential of being quite gimmicky. The food itself was good, it was a fun way to have afternoon tea and overall good value for money. Though I probably wouldn't have it again (think once is good but will go back for a proper full sized burger!), I would recommend if you want to try something a little different for a catch up with friends.

Is Covid-19 Part of History's Eternal Danse Macabre?
Bryan S. Turner | 24.06.2020
From the plagues in Egypt to the Black Death, the Spanish flu and now Covid-19, the trail of human misery left by diseases and disasters has been intense. For a social scientist, what do these events mean for society and its future?
Plagues have been the persistent companions of human communities for the entire history of homo erectus. Perhaps it is unsurprising, therefore, that together with natural disasters, they have evoked religious responses to calamity that bring into question the meaning of life and its injustice.
Plagues and Disaster
In medieval times, the Wheel of Fortune symbolized the precarious nature of human existence. The angel of death was one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. We have graphic accounts of 10 plagues in Exodus. The most troublesome was the death of the first born in Exodus 11:4 – 6. This plague engulfed Egypt in response to the Pharaoh's unwise boast that he knew nothing of Yahweh.
The most demanding challenge to human notions about justice came with the Black Death in 1342 which killed an estimated 200 million. One response to this plague was the Dance Macabre which portrayed death as a sinister presence sitting on the backs of his victims. A familiar children's nursery rhyme — Ring a Ring o' Roses — allegedly describes the symptoms that attended the victims, such as boils under
armpits and groins.
In modern history, the Spanish flu of 1918 killed up to 100 million people on the back of 20 million military and civilian casualties from the Second World War.
What do these plagues and disasters have in common apart from the dry statistics? As a sociologist, two outcomes strike me as worthy of consideration.
Defining A Generation
My first observation is that we have detailed information about the distribution of fatalities by social class. In general terms, the poor and the disprivileged suffer disproportionality. However, of more interest is how catastrophic pandemics and crises came to define whole generations. By 'generation', I mean a cohort whose collective memory and sense of identity is defined by a shared event that changed their world.
In modern history, we have the generation of the Great Depression, the 'disobedient generation' of the 1960s, and the generation of 9/11. What will characterize the mentality
and imagination of the Covid-19 generation?
My second observation is that while the statistics of infections, recoveries and deaths are clearly important as scientific facts guiding social policy, people want more than statistics when the scale of the crisis calls out for a moral or religious response. Why me? Why us? Why now?
Answers to such questions are called theodicies — beliefs or ideologies that seek to explain the meaning of injustice and suffering.
Gottfried Leibniz (1646 –1716) developed the idea of theodicy in response to the puzzle created by the idea of a loving, kind and just creator in the context of the devastating Lombardy floods in 1710. He proposed an optimistic solution: 'We live in the best of all possible worlds created by God', but his optimism was lampooned by Voltaire in 'Candide' (1759). The problem of theodicy was raised critically by the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 on All Saints' Day, destroying Lisbon and killing up to 100 thousand inhabitants.
Catholic theologians saw it as a punishment of sinners. Rationalists were not convinced, but the problem of meaning would not go away. We now have ample statistical evidence regarding the spread and impact of Covid-19 in developed societies.
Statistical modelling will offer various projections. However, statistics are unlikely to make the coronavirus meaningful.
"We now have ample statistical evidence regarding the spread and impact of Covid-19 in developed societies."
What is the meaning of 1,000 deaths in England in one day in April 2020? German sociologist Max Weber argued that science was unequal
to the task of meaning-making.
I envisage two opposed theodicies — one religious, one political — emerging from Covid-19. During Easter 2020, especially in Catholic Europe, there was a clear sense of the suffering of Christ as a constitutive parable of human suffering. In the tradition of the Man of Sorrows, the wounds of Jesus have inspired artists to show his suffering as a representation of our vulnerability. Can this Christian image of suffering become a collective theodicy across cultures and religions?
Alienation and Alternatives
There is a second, darker alternative in a secular theodicy. The economic and political crisis plays into the hands of far right militancy in which extreme ethno-nationalism addresses the alienation of 'the left-behind' and 'the deplorables' from liberal democracy. Radical political movements are therefore well served by Covid-19: close the borders, end immigration, send migrant workers home, defend national sovereignty, undermine international cooperation (UN, WHO, EU), reject multiculturalism and destroy the liberal state and its affluent elites.
Far-right militants fear the 'great displacement' whereby Muslims with high fertility rates will replace white populations. The far right wants a white baby boom after the pandemic fatalities. To achieve this demographic replacement, militants such as InCel (Involuntary Celibacy) want an end to feminism and women's rights, arguing that women should be in the home having babies and caring for their men. The drastic impact of the coronavirus on the populations of Spain, Italy and Greece adds fuel to the demand for male supremacy by militant political groups. This virus may be the covert midwife of authoritarian regimes.
The Wheel of Fortune is spinning once again and what will be next? The enclave society and the new nationalism?

Long Blockchain Corp., the cryptocurrency company formerly known as Long Island Iced Tea, "is not proceeding" with a sale of up to 1.6 million shares of common stock, but is continuing to pursue its plan to buy specialized computing equipment to "mine" digital currency.
In a news release issued Tuesday, the company said that it "can make no assurances that it will be able to finance the purchase of the mining equipment" and gave no reason for abandoning the stock sale, which was expected to generate proceeds of $7.8 million, according to a prospectus supplement filed on Friday.
Shares of the Farmingdale company fell 4.3 percent to close Wednesday at $5.55.
A call and email to Long Blockchain chief executive Philip Thomas were not immediately returned.
"Miners" use high-powered computers to authenticate and encrypt bitcoin transactions. Once the transaction is authenticated and added to the blockchain, the miners typically are paid in bitcoin.
Craig Ferrantino, president of Craig James Financial Services LLC, a Melville investment and financial planning firm, said Long Blockchain could have difficulty in getting broad support from investors.
"It's an unknown technology that investors may have an interest in, but when you look at the financials, it's hard to wrap your head around," he said.
Long Blockchain's stock has more than doubled since its Dec. 20 announcement of a "pivot" in its business from bottled and canned ready-to-drink beverages to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
The stocks of several other companies have risen after announcing a connection to cryptocurrencies. On Tuesday, Rochester-based Eastman Kodak Company said it was creating its own cryptocurrency, "KodakCoin," sending its stock up more than 100 percent in one day.
On Wednesday, bitcoin, the most prominent digital currency, edged up 0.04 percent to $14,488 at about 5:30 p.m., according to CoinDesk. Bitcoin has climbed more than 1,500 percent in the past 12 months.

Rocky Blue
Rocky Blue made a more than satisfactory return to the track when he finished second to Sicario in the one-mile-five-furlong handicap. Settled at the back of the field by David Mullins, he made ground easily around the outside as they left the back straight. Wide into the home straight, he kept on well down the outside to move into second place with 100 yards to run, closing all the way to the line on the winner, who was admittedly eased down close home.
We hadn't seen Tom Mullins' horse since he won the Grade 2 Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle at the 2018 Leopardstown Christmas Festival. Injury ruled him out of the Cheltenham Festival that year, and has kept him off the track since, but he was returning here on the flat on a mark of 71. The handicapper raised him by 5lb to a mark of 76 but, in just two runs over hurdles, he reached a rating of 135 in that sphere, so he could still be a well-handicapped horse on the flat off this mark. His trainer mentioned Galway as a possible target now, and he will be of interest either on the flat or over jumps if he goes there.

To add yet more Indians to my French and Indian War 28mm collection, I've turned again to a current favorite miniatures manufacturers — Galloping Major Wargames. After a recent project using GM's Provincials and supporting their recent French Marines Kickstarter, I filled out a direct order from the UK with a few of their Indian models which didn't disappoint.
GM miniatures are the among the largest in my collection, cast at a 28mm heroic scale. That said, I found my first purchase of their Indians to be just a bit smaller than their other figures I own. The size of the models presents the opportunity for a lot of detail and individual personality, especially in some great facial expressions.
These Indians present a more traditional look with chests bared and dress in leather loincloths and leggings. Knives, hatchets, jewelry, powder horns and various shoulder-slung bags equip these figures nicely for any campaign. As a bonus, the six figures I ordered were supplemented with a seventh figure thrown in for free, a nice thing GM offers to larger orders. And with these Indians complete, I'm sure there will be more of those orders to Galloping Major Wargames in my future.

French and Indian War: Woodland Indians from Knuckleduster Miniatures
In my recent quest to add more variety to my French and Indian War Native American forces, I've had to look a bit beyond the usual FIW miniatures manufacturers. My core requirements in seeking new models is that they are metal, a reasonable representation of tribes present during the FIW period and that they scale well at 28mm with my other models. With this criteria in mind, I was happy to stumble across a rack of Knuckleduster Miniatures at a convention earlier this year.
Knuckleduster, as the name evokes, focuses largely on an expanding line of Old West themed miniatures in 25mm, 28mm and 40mm scales. Beyond this core offering, they also have a small selection of British, American and Canadian soldiers for the War of 1812. And, it's within this era's figures where you will find a small collection of Native Americans usable in the FIW.
Packaged as "Grand River Nation" Indians, Knuckleduster offers two packs of six models, one in summer dress and one in winter clothing, plus a two-model leader pack. I picked up the summer dress pack for $10, a pretty good deal for a half dozen metal models cast at a true 28mm scale. These are really beefy models with lumpy facial features but with some nice detail in jewelry and clothing. Their dress generally depicts the European-influenced style from trade goods many Indians wore during the FIW era. And, it is their scale, style and variety that makes these a great hidden find for my Native force collection.

French and Indian War: Woodland Indians from North Star Military Figures
With the majority of my core 28mm forces for my French and Indian War gaming complete, I've been focusing on filling out my model variety with more Indian figures from a number of manufacturers. The FIW lends itself to having a lot of different Native American models on the table, given the numerous North American tribes which participated in the conflict. Most of my Indians are from Conquest Miniatures distributed by Warlord Games but my next few posts are focusing on some small units I've been adding from other makers.
First up are a half dozen figures from North Star Military Figures. Until recently, Northstar was manufacturing figures packaged specifically for use with the very popular Muskets & Tomahawks rules set. With a second edition of M&T pending at some unnamed future date, Northstar recently put their figure line on hold.
Fortunately I had grabbed a pack of Indian reinforcements at a convention earlier this year. The six models, armed with muskets and hatchets, all come with nice detail of equipment, jewelry and some hooded frocks. I chose to paint them in colorful reds, greens and blues, reflecting the steady trade of European goods during the era. The sculpts are solid with a real 28mm feel a bit larger than my Conquests which stand closer to 25mm. With these Northstar Indians, my native forces have grown in variety and scale as I build out a larger group of allies for my French.

French and Indian War: Scottish Highlanders from North Star Military Figures
In the early 1700s, Scots from clans loyal to the British ruling government had been recruited into local law keeping forces and later as more formal militia. Allowed to dress and employ traditional Highland garb and weapons, Scottish forces would serve the British military cause from the European mainland to Egypt to the Caribbean to India over the next two centuries. Three Highlander regiments — the 42nd, 77th and 78th — would distinguish themselves in service of the Crown's rule in the first major 18th-century conflict of British North America, the French and Indian War (1756-1763).
The Highland Regiment Exercising on Glasgow Green, 1758 (artist unknown)
The 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot set sail for North America in January of 1757 and landed in April. During their time in the colonies, these Scotsmen would participate in many key battles of the FIW, including the Battle of Carillion (1758) and the capture of Fort Ticonderoga (1759). After the war, the 42nd Foot spent time in Pennsylvania at Fort Pitt and Fort Ligonier before fighting in one of their most famed battles during Pontiac's Rebellion at Bushy Run, Pennsylvania in August 1763.
Aside from a general collection of FIW books, I turned to a copy of Osprey Publishing's Highlander in the French-Indian War, 1756–67 by Ian Macpherson McCulloch. The book focuses on three Highlander regiments of the period, including the 42nd Foot I've chosen to model. The historic background, period illustrations and contemporary plates make this a great foundation for anyone wanting to learn a bit more about the Highland regiments of the period. One plate in particular portrays detail of uniform and equipment of a typical c. 1756 private of the 42nd Foot — just the inspiration I needed as I worked on fielding my very first Highlander models.
I managed to score a half-dozen Highlanders from North Star Military Figures at half price during a recent close-out sale. Sadly, North Star is mothballing their FIW line of models for the time being as Studio Tomahawk works toward a future second edition of the popular Muskets & Tomahawks wargaming rules. I had previously painted up some of their French Canadian miniatures and I still have some of their Indians in my painting queue, so I was glad to add a few of their Highlanders to my collection while I could.
The 18th-century is fun to paint for the diversity of uniforms, weapons and mode of dress, and these Highlanders were no exceptions. This was my first go at tartan kilts, so I sunk some time into watching how-to videos online. I went with a simple technique of dark blue undercoat followed by layered grids of varying greens and greys to approximate the signature tartan of the 42nd Foot. Close-up it looks a bit pointillistic, but at arm's length on the table I was pretty satisfied with the results.
The rest of the figures were a bit more straight forward with red jackets and blue bonnets (or "tams") with red balls on the top and red lacing at the brim. The officer also got some fancy stockings with an angled cross-hatched plaid of white and red. Having just six of the North Star Highlander models completed, I wish I had bought more before they became impossible to get. That said, I'll be tracking down some more from other manufacturers so I can better field a large force of the 42nd Royal Highlanders.

French and Indian War: Conestoga and Supply Wagons from Perry Miniatures
When British General Edward Braddock launched his campaign through the Ohio Country to Fort Duquesne in the spring of 1755, the call went out for wagons. With some 2,000 soldiers at his command, Braddock was a typical commander of the French and Indian War era whose plans rested heavily on the support of local civilians willing to port the tons of supplied needed for a planned siege some 110 miles away.
After initial appeals were largely ignored by a population not particularly pleased with existing British colonial governance, appeals by Benjamin Franklin to his Pennsylvania countrymen finally yielded the needed transports for the campaign. An excellent 1959 publication from the Smithsonian Institution by Don H. Berkebile, Conestoga Wagons In Braddock's Campaign, 1755, provides great detail on the supply train in Braddock's campaign. Some 150 locally-provided wagons combined with Braddock's own to form nearly 200 transports carrying powder, ammunition, food and other goods necessary for such an undertaking into the relatively untamed wilderness. Additionally, Braddock also had five six-pound guns, four twelve-pound guns, three coehorns and four howitzers in tow with the design on breaking French control in the region.
Map of Braddock's Road (John Kennedy Lacock, 1912)
Cutting trees, clearing brush, fording streams, blasting rock and transversing the steep hills and mountains of Western Pennsylvania, Braddock's miles-long force moved along a 12 foot wide path at just two miles a day. George Washington, then a young British Colonel, had cautioned his mentor Braddock against reliance on wagons in the rough wilderness and advocated the use of pack animals instead. Braddock's column certainly contained dozens of horses and scores of cattle, but the majority of supplies rode on wagons in a European style uniformed by the roughness of North America's backcountry. When the advance force of Braddock's line was ambushed at the Battle of the Monongahela by the French and French-allied Indians on July 9, 1755, the soldiers and civilian supply train was thrown into chaos. By the end of the day, the disordered column was in hasty retreat, Braddock was dead and Washington was forever changed after having witnessed the death of his role model.

As Berkebile's article points out, the exact number and make-up of the types wagons mustered for Braddock's campaign is unknown. There is no doubt conestoga wagons, invented in Pennsylvania in the 1730s, made up some part of the supply column. State of the art for the era, conestoga wagons became icons of the American frontier for their multiple ton capacity, wide wheels and ruggedness. Other transports such as tumbrels and powder wagons supplemented the carrying load for Braddock.
For my FIW transports I've gone with a number of models from Perry Miniatures. Cast in metal and resin, these hefty models are cast with great detail and each are accompanied by civilians who provided the skill needed for the campaign. With five wagons completed, I have plenty of transports ready to represent Braddock's or other FIW era armies heading into the wilds of the North American wilderness.

French and Indian War: Civilian Workers, Guides and Pack Animals from Fife & Drum Miniatures and Wargames Foundry
Ask the average person to describe an 18th-century army in the North American colonies during the French and Indian War and you'll probably get a lot of images of tricorne hats, muskets and guys in regular uniforms marching in lines across open fields. The role of civilians often doesn't come up, but their importance was of the utmost to armies of the period.
When British General Edward Braddock set off into the Ohio Country wilderness in 1755 to lay a planned siege at Fort Duquesne, his column of some 2,000 soldiers also contained civilians. These men (and a couple dozen women) served as scouts, laborers, wagoneers, animal herders, cooks, blacksmiths, carpenters and all manner of other roles commonly found in the era.
On the Braddock Campaign, scouts included backcountry notable, local landowner and fur trader John Fraser. Among the hired teamsters were Daniel Morgan and a young Daniel Boone. The wilderness expertise of these historic figures and those whose names are since lost was key in navigating the miles-long column as civilian laborers hacked their way through the woods of Southwestern Pennsylvania at a rate of just a couple miles a day.
I found a bunch of civilian figures in the flea market are at this year's HMGS Cold Wars convention. At just a buck or two each, I managed to snag a nice variety of workers from Fife & Drum Miniatures plus some pack animals and a mounted scout from the Old West line from Wargames Foundry. The metal sculpts provide a lot of unique models which were a nice break from regular poses of the FIW French and British soldiers I've been collecting over the past year. Painting the civilians and pack animals also allowed for some less historical freedom and creativity.
My finished figures are going to come in handy as I build out some Braddock-themed scenarios in the coming months. Having completed a few, I'll also be looking to add more civilians to my forces in support of the masses of troops on my FIW game tables.

French and Indian War: Rogers' Rangers From Galloping Major Wargames
The French and Indian War (1754-1763) called for new tactics for old, professional armies steeped in traditional European warfare. With hostilities among French, French-allied Indians and Canadians, British and colonists of all stripes erupting over territorial disputes on the frontier of North America, locally-mustered soldiers were of paramount importance to all sides.
Robert Rogers, born in Massachusetts of Irish immigrants in 1731, was key in raising forces in New Hampshire for the British in the mid 1750s on the eve of the conflict. With animosity toward Indians in the region, his recruits formed what came to be known as Rogers' Rangers. Operating out of Northeastern and Central New York, the company of some 600 men who formed Rogers' Rangers participated in some of the key actions of the war including the Battles on Snowshoes and the Battle of Carillon, both in 1758.
Aside from his leadership during the FIW, he also contributed significantly with his "Rules of Ranging." Written in 1757, the 28 rules provide an outline for the discipline and tactics which defined Rogers' own brand of guerilla-style wilderness war. So visionary in their combination of Native American style warfare with some European principles for the rules of war, some version of these have been used by US Army Rangers to this day.
Following the end of the FIW, Rogers continued to work with the British military during Pontiac's Rebellion that swept through the Great Lakes in 1763-1766 and finally during the American War of Independence in the 1770s and 1780s. Despite having devoted his entire adult life to warring on behalf of the British in North America, Rogers died in 1795 poor and in obscurity in England at the age of 63.
Rogers' Rangers in Popular Culture
Robert Rogers has managed to hold considerable space in pop culture for generations. Even though his alliances were with British rule during his decades-long career, his legend rests squarely within a particular type of colorful American frontier character who succeeds by breaking the rules and forging his own path. The persistence of his legacy has been helped by comics, books, movies and TV shows that continue to today.
Northwest Passage, the 1937 bestseller by Kenneth Roberts, probably did the most keep the legacy of Rogers alive in pop culture. The book's popularity led to a 1940 MGM epic starring Spencer Tracy. Nearly two decades later, Rogers came to life anew in a 1958-1959 NBC half-hour show of the same name. This time Buddy Ebsen portrayed the famed ranger during the post-World War II boom in western and frontier pop culture.
The modern iteration of Robert Rogers appears in the AMC series TURN: Washington's Spies, now into a fourth season. While the story focuses on the spy network surrounding New York City in the early days of the American Revolution, considerable space is given to Rogers and his complicated relationship with the British a decade after the FIW.
Modelling Rogers' Rangers
For my Rogers' Rangers, I've turned again to Galloping Major Wargames. GM figures, like those I modeled as my FIW Virginia Provincials, have a chunkier heroic 28mm scale I love for their detail and personality. The ranger miniatures offer some variety of irregular outfits and weapons including muskets and hatchets. Headgear include the signature bonnets as well as tricorn and rounded jockey hats with fronts cut and cocked back to the crown and detailed with white edging.
The famed short forest green jackets are detailed with lighter green lapels and cuffs finished with silver buttons over earthy red vests. For leggings, I mixed the figures up with colors ranging from a light brown buckskin to a more colorful blue.
Together, I feel my painted Rogers' Rangers typify how they would have looked as they fought in the fields and forests of 18th-century North America.

What's in a Photo? And Thoughts on the UK Sanctions Scene
By on April 18, 2017 Posted in Economic Sanctions, EU Sanctions, UK Sanctions
A couple of recent news items throw into sharp relief what we long have noted here at the International Compliance Blog—that economic sanctions are a key tool of a country's national security and foreign policy, and can serve as an instrument by which to influence a broad array of events.
First, take a look at this photo:
This is an official White House photo of President Trump and members of his administration receiving a top secret briefing, in the Secure Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF) at the President's Mar-a-Lago estate, regarding the recent cruise missile strikes against Syria. The New York Times, BBC, and CNN have scrutinized the photo to decipher its implications for various palace intrigues, noting which administration officials were in the room, who was not in the room, and who was seated where.
Palace intrigues aside, the photo raises an interesting question for our purposes—why were Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in the room?
Both the Times and BBC have speculated that they were included in the briefing because they were at Mar-a-Lago to meet with Xi Jinping, the President of China, and were invited simply because they were already onsite.
But let's consider a different view—that the Treasury and Commerce Secretaries attended because the Treasury and Commerce Departments are part of the national security apparatus of the United States. While Secretary Mnuchin and Secretary Ross may not necessarily need to know the operational details of the missile strike, we can rest assured that the Treasury and Commerce Departments will play leading roles in crafting the Trump Administration's response to the situation in Syria. Indeed, Secretary Mnuchin has indicated that the Treasury Department will be imposing new sanctions in response to the Assad regime's recent use of chemical weapons. The Commerce Department, for its part, administers the Export Administration Regulations, which provide for extensive restrictions targeting Syria that could be ratcheted up and/or aggressively enforced at any time.
This is a key aspect of how the United States pursues its national security interests, and even wages war, in the 21st century—through economic sanctions and export control policy. Viewed through that lens, the presence of the Treasury and Commerce Secretaries in the SCIF makes perfect sense.
Which brings us to our second interesting news item:
G7 nations have failed to agree on a proposal by Britain for sanctions against Russia in the wake of a deadly chemical attack they say was carried out by Moscow's ally, Syria.
[D]ivisions arose as UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson proposed sanctions against Syrian and Russian military figures over the chemical attack.
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says Mr Johnson had hoped for some form of explicit support, but the final G7 communique does not mention sanctions.
Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano said ministers wanted to engage with Russia.
The United Kingdom's eventual exit from the European Union could have a fascinating impact on both UK and EU sanctions. For example, the United Kingdom long has been a leading proponent of sanctions against Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. Post-Brexit, that will cut two ways: first, the United Kingdom may have only limited influence on the EU position; and second, the United Kingdom may prove to be considerably more assertive—and aligned with the United States—than most observers appreciate when it comes to sanctions.
For the time being, the United Kingdom seems to prefer cooperation with the European Union on sanctions, if possible. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson recently indicated that the UK Government will introduce legislation specifying how the United Kingdom "will continue to take part in sanctions jointly" with the European Union. Along these lines, a recent House of Commons report makes the case for UK-EU unity on sanctions.
However, the same report notes the need for "uncomfortable conversations with close allies" on the subject and observes that "it will be increasingly difficult to sustain a united western position on sanctions, not least if they become a bargaining point during Brexit negotiations." The report goes on to suggest that the UK Government impose sanctions on Russian individuals involved in human rights abuses, noting:
Individuals associated with the Putin regime who are reportedly responsible for gross human rights abuses or violations use British financial and legal services, invest in British property, holiday in the UK and send their children to British schools.
The report thus hints at the introduction of U.S.-type "Magnitsky" sanctions targeting Vladimir Putin's inner circle. To put it mildly, this would not be well received in Moscow, and probably would go far beyond what any EU Member State would be willing to do.
The report goes on to call on the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to issue a report by March 2018 specifying how the UK will impose sanctions post-Brexit. In light of the UK civil sanctions regime now in effect and the report's hints at possible UK sanctions targeting human rights abuses, the United Kingdom very well may be prepared to go its own way in imposing sanctions.
Which brings us back to our original point: Sanctions remain a key aspect of national security and foreign policy, and will figure prominently in the Western response to international crises as they arise.
