Who you gonna call?
Guardian today on the tanker crisis:-"Critics point to irony of UK calling on EU support while heading for Brexit""Nathalie Loiseau, the former leader of Macron’s party in the European parliament, said the two priorities were de-escalation and monitoring in the strait of Hormuz. Speaking on BBC World Tonight, she said: “What I find extremely interesting when a British ship has been seized – and it’s a question of high concern in the UK and rightly – there is this reflex to call the Europeans. At the very moment when you are talking about Brexit you can see we have common threats and have common ways of assessing threats.“I listened carefully to the foreign secretary saying the initiative he has in mind is very different from the American initiative of a policy of maximum pressure.”"--------------------------"If there's something strange in your neighborhoodWho you gonna call? (The EU, naturally)If there's something weirdAnd it don't look goodWho you gonna call? (Like I said, the EU. Safer for all concerned than the US, I feel.)"
