Join the new world

What on earth is our esteemed Proprietor up to?

He suddenly abandons a promising political career and leaves the country on some dodgy RN mission or other.

Next we hear of an attempt to infiltrate a Serbian Govt munitions factory on the North Korean border. A seductive brunette, a moment of weakness, betrayal. He never could say no to a brunette.

A frantic escape down the Yalu River with the Sluzba Drzavne Bezbednosti, the secret police, close behind. A tramp steamer out of Dandong with nothing in his possession but a spare dress shirt and his Webley Mk VI service revolver.

Now he tells us he is lying low somewhere in NW England, keeping his head down and watching his back.

Oh, and standing for Congress.

Which is a bit like hiding in a hedgerow with mortal enemies searching all around, and deciding to play "The Liberty Bell" on the tuba to pass the time away.
