V. sad to learn of the passing of Sir Hans Kornberg, former master of Christ’s College — a gentle soul w/ a lovely sense of humour. He used to say he’d check the obituaries daily to see if he was in them! Now he’s there— I imagine him smiling, content over a life v. well spent.

Vladimir Kara-Murza, one of the bravest & most erudite individuals I ever met, punished harshly merely for offering an opinion … the hatefulness of the system condemning him contrasts sharply with the power and sacrifice of his peaceful protest.

I respect Martin Wolf & today’s piece is good... he doesn’t need to revert to Aristotle to make his point though, human rights have come a long way since 1948. Economists ought to recognize their importance explicitly & not shy away from referring to them.

This previous tweet came out before it became known who was behind the murderous attacks perpetrated against the Christian community in Sri Lanka — attacks which I condemn & which have no connection to the internal situation in the country.
