Brexit: Wrong Discussion, Wrong People, Wrong Arguments
Brexit: Wrong Discussion, Wrong People, Wrong Arguments G.G. Bain Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, New York 1907There’ve been a bunch of issues and topics on my -temporarily non-writing- mind, and politics, though as I’ve often said it’s not my preferred focus, keeps on slipping in. That’s not because I’ve gotten more interested in ‘the game’, but because […]
