I don’t know how much value I’d bring to Queen and country should Britain face invasion. I can’t imagine newsletter authors will be in much demand, and frankly they should nationalise Stephen Bush first.
But I’ve found two snippets of wisdom useful in the last few days. The first, from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War: all warfare is based on deception. And the second, to borrow a phrase more often more associated with the Cold War, ‘Doveryay, no proveryay’ – ‘trust, but verify’.
