In retrospect, I think, the second Elizabethan era will be seen as a time when Britain repeatedly tried and failed to become a normal European nation. It failed because it couldn't properly wake from the dream of empire. I hope it will keep trying.

Why would a gov't deliberately set out to harm its country? Well, it's what rich Russians did in the 1990s. And they bought up assets cheap, then sold them dear, and made the richest people in the world.
I thought "I'll put the TV news on", and then found that in the online, on-demand world, I don't actually know how you do that any more.
Way I also recommend 'Hitler's Table Talk', a fascinating insight into his private chats...
