On the UK’s ITN Channel 4 News with Jon Snow being a being a bit cheeky about one fat boy taking over from another! click here

A somewhat serious analysis of some issues raised for the Asia Society – click here

And a fairly snarky but hopefully fun piece for Foreign Policy – click here

And my book‘s still out there though Amazon seems to be shifting a few!! (first edition cover below for a change and because I always liked it)
