One long term prediction I think you can risk making is that this is the last conflict in which the Strait of Hormuz is such a concentration of risk for the global economy

It cost me £10.50 to go from a National Rail station in Zone 3 to Canary Wharf and back yesterday (admittedly via London Bridge, but still).

You couldn't waterboard this sort of confession out of me.
