This beggars belief. Only hours after it was announced that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez had died of cancer on 5 March 2013, the Forbes business magazine, on its website, ran an article entitled, yes, "What does the death of the ‘Comandante’ mean to Venezuelan billionaires? Will they get richer now that the ‘21st century socialist’ is gone?"

In the din of brewers’ corporate Newspeak, one voice has always stood out: Graham Mackay’s. While his colleagues preferred to drone on in a language that could have been some obscure Mongolian dialect for all we knew, the outgoing Executive Chairman and former CEO of SABMiller could be trusted to talk about issues that really mattered in plain English that even a dumb blonde understood – had she been interested in the consolidation of the brewing industry.
