A French motor that isn’t a runaway success

I’m still in the South of France but thinking I’d better write a column for you from here rather than take the week off as I had planned, otherwise The Times will fire up some eager young Shadow Cabinet minister as a replacement, to plug the hole with his outline for an overhaul of the recycling laws as they relate to kitchen compost (non-proteinous) or something, and you’ll all be so bored you’ll cancel your subscriptions and there’ll be no readers left for me to write for when I get home.

Harry Patch’s victory was to die in his bed

The name itself tells half the story — Harry Patch the humble private soldier who fought, came home and returned to a life of honourable obscurity. But Harry Patch, the last survivor of the First World War battlefields, was an extra-ordinary man. And that half of his character was only revealed when he was an old, old man.

UNB, Dhaka Finance Minister AMA Muhith on Wednesday said that the government would seek support from the development partners for implementing a mega-plan for power and energy sector, as he observed the pace of country’s development is decelerating due to electricity crisis. “We’ll place our mega-plan before the Development Forum Meeting (DFM) to be held in January next,” he told reporters after two consecutive meetings-one with the European Bangladesh Federation and another with jute mill owners-at his ministry.
