Today's @bopinion post is about how three star performers over the last 10 years - Germany, South Korea, and Singapore - are now either in recession, or close to it.

The global economic environment has changed, and the tables may have turned.

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Over the long term, rich countries grow at about the same rate. But Germany, South Korea, and Singapore have outperformed the U.S. since the recession, leading many to wonder if their systems are superior.

The *Opium War*?

Seriously???
No one in the UK is allowed to criticize American police brutality because of that time the British burned down Washington D.C.
Also what's with Tsai calling the Hong Kong protests a "separatist movement"? That's creepy. Independence is definitely not among the protesters' demands.

Over the years a lot has been said about the UK’s relationship with Europe/EEC/EU. So much of it has been out of earshot of the electorate. Here is just some of what has been said /1

#ThePoliticiansKnewAllAlong
Our involvement with Europe has introduced into our politics a culture of deceit which is quite new in our history - Christopher Booker 2001 /2
A day will come when we shall see the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas - Victor Hugo 1849 /3
