This is a fantastic insight into a possible future that BRICS represents - its not a physical bank in the guise of a World Bank competitor but rather a change of mindset across the globe in which the status quo has ceased to make sense - and perhaps we are starting to see the beginning of a new paradigm. Prem Shankar Jha also gives a very insightful glance into the Syrian governments current woes and throws an entirely different light onto the situation

Nah, Brannigans didn't pretend to be upmarket. It was what it was.
