college sophmore reading Ayn Rand? (4.00 / 2)

I like the UK, but London is hardly the soul of Europe.

Maybe the soul of Europe is where the French entrepreneurs are...

The EU is an extension of the AngloSaxon Mercantile Empire, with a little bit of leeway for Johhny Foreigner to show what he's made of.

London is still the centre of the world. And the City is the centre of London.

Everything else is decoration and resource for plunder.

Didn't you get the memo?

I got the memo (none / 1)
