This is me ripping the front page of the FT off this morning’s digital feed and sharing it with you, There are other stories behind those in the simple numbers of Britain and the USA markets, Korean markets were suspended at the thought Korea might run out of oil, each click brings me more news of the impact on the Middle East itself.

Yesterday should have been a good news day, when we could consider a spring statement from our Chancellor without worrying about tax increasing or recession upon us.

Instead, Britain is not our focus but instead the thought of our country’s overseas policy and out involvement in war, if only as a platform for American airplanes.

I have expressed my concern that we have a large number of Britain’s in the middle east, many of my friends and staff are from Israel, from India and Pakistan, there seems no country that is not threatened economically or in terms of personal safety (or both).

At the Pension PlayPen , each Tuesday morning, we complete proceedings with a prayer that we will see an end for war in Ukraine, Steve Goddard started this over four years ago and now the prayer includes the Middle East.

If you want Reuters report brought to you by one of the best financial journalists in the UK, here it is.

We need information to be resilient. The worst thing right now is to hide from the truth, the second worst is to be ill-informed. I trust the FT and I trust Reuters and I trust them to tell me the story from an economic point of view. From a personal point of view, I trust the BBC though they do not have the financial incision that we who work in finance require.

Thanks to FT and Reuters for keeping me and by extension you- informed!

How resilient is Britain to what we are suffering globally? We need accurate information to decide.
