    Exit this shell, Roman

    Chelsea FC owner to move to Tel Aviv after problems renewing UK visa, Israeli media reports.

    An interesting read in conjunction with this

    https://www.theguardian.com/news/201...ts-dirty-money

    Which makes the point that asking Visa applicants "where did you get all your money from" is a significant but small step (given how long Russian money has been here) in trying to put some sort of checks and balances around mysterious money. Essentially, this putting a bolt on the stable door even though the horses have already gone and built their iceberg homes in Kensington.

          Personally I'd have gone with "Romani ite domum"

              SotS - it relates to The Fall, as indeed most things do.
