Trump threatens war and punitive tariffs to recapture Iranian resources – just as in 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mossadegh and US corporations immediately seized 40% of the oil, says SEVIM DAGDELEN
WHEN I woke last Saturday, still in November, Storm Arwen had reached my home in the East Midlands. Outside the window there was heavy sleety snow and a few centimetres of fluffy white stuff had turned the garden into a winter wonderland.
Snow is a rare phenomenon nowadays in my part of the country but when I was a kid 60-odd years ago in north London we could almost guarantee a few weeks of heavy snow, certainly enough to build a snowman and have a few snowball fights, each and every winter.
I remember wrapping up warm to watch the huge number 18 six-wheel electric trolleybuses spinning their wheels on the stiff snowy climb from Harlesden to Wembley. These environmentally sound buses were much better on hills than the smelly diesels that would go on to replace them.
