fire sale as Arab state buys Britain

 

1. Are North Sea oil reserves diminishing? Are they actually pumping less, or is that another lie slipped in when folks were looking elsewhere?

   IIRC, the English haven’t owned Harrod’s for many years now. Wasn’t Diana dating the son of some Saudi or Egyptian who owned the place back in the 90s ... Dody or Doody or somesuch? Yes, I think that was his name; he was in the car wreck with her.

   I also think I recall that London has been a Middle East oasis for going on 2 generations at this point. Oil money has been ruling there for ages.

   We went through a similar scare - the Japanese own America!!! - back in the early 80s. I don’t think it lasted.

   Don’t worry too much about the Qatari; they’ll never own more than half the country. With all their natural gas money, the Russians will buy the other half.

   Drew,

   That “Russians will buy the other half”

   That’s a perfect example of: Bon’t wish for something, cause you might just get it!

   Just look a Coney Island....Brighton beach.

   Although, I believe it’s now called: Little Odessa
