Mars, and the powers that be
If Simon Bullimore really was “Canute-like”, “Mars returning to earth” (MW March 3), at the ISBA policy conference then he was demonstrating that Mars was not omnipotent, rather than the other way round.
Let us not forget than Canute got his feet wet to persuade his courtiers of what he knew to be true – that he wasn’t as all powerful as they thought.
Perhaps this was Bullimore’s hidden message.
