What you'll receive
A short email each Monday. Each one reads a single situation carefully and takes a few minutes to get through.
Defuse News
A message that doesn’t sit right. A worry that won’t go away.
Defuse News helps you read these situations calmly, and know when concern is justified. Philip Grindell writes it for prominent people and those who advise them. It arrives every Monday morning, except on UK bank holidays.
Each edition takes one real situation, often from the news, and reads it the way we would for a client. We look at what the behaviour means and what a proportionate response would be. The tone stays calm, because alarm rarely helps anyone decide well.
A short email each Monday. Each one reads a single situation carefully and takes a few minutes to get through.
Prominent people and families, and anyone who advises them. If your name, wealth or position attracts attention, it was written with you in mind.
Concerns are easier to judge early, before worry starts making decisions for you. Each edition is written to be useful whether or not you ever need us.
