Dear Niel, I can understand exactly what you are trying to convey. That question has not been raised the first time but will again and again. An open truthful answer leads to trouble but we are pawns in the hands of the chess masters. So, we find solace in Chamomile and Passiflora and behave like sacrificial sheep.
With a heavy fearful heart I write this. For us it started in '79 and still goes on with no end in sight.
Kind Regards
Arif.
