What's going on in the UK these days. I've been seeing some protests and MAGA style sentiment. I was in London last month, took a cab, and the cabbie asked me about Trump. I told him exactly what I felt and he admitted he was a supporter. What the heck!?

What makes you think that an average London cab driver makes better decisions, or is better informed than an average American farmer? There is a reason why we have this ...

Big Pictures, big letters, easy language. Demagogues with simple (supposed) solutions appeal to the ordinary (uninformed) man on the street. None of them (exceptions possible) reads the Times, neither the London nor the New York Times. Way too complicated!
