A very interesting report and one that opens a whole raft of intriguing possibilities.
The London Insurance market has a long and distinguished association with Her Britannic Majesty’s Secret Services. Lloyds is a very pally place and has not one, but three of its very own Freemasonic Lodges, the most famous of which is the Lutine Lodge, named after the Lutine Bell that is rung every time a ship goes down..
Many senior insurance types worked directly with Churchill’s SOE during WWII. Naturally access to shipping intelligence is of vital national interest and HMSS will still be very close to this market.
Quid pro quo perhaps?
I hate to pun (he lied) on seafaring matters, but it seems to me that there’s something fishy going on with regard to these Somali pirates.

Quote:The national flag of the vessel was also taken into account when choosing a target, with British vessels apparently being increasingly avoided, the report said.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
