Image: His Majesty’s dominions, on which the sun never sets.” – John Wilson. Here: Fort St George (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_St._George,_India) , Madras (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai) , the first English fortress in India “Johnson joins Blair and Thatcher as significant post-imperial leaders.” @josephsternberg, @WSJOpinion Joseph Sternberg: @josephsternberg, @WSJOpinion; Political Economics column; WSJ editorial board; in re: UK, Brexit: Lockdowns have generated extraordinary problems and results. The ceremony of finally convincing all the players [to achieve Brexit]. Sturm und Drang. All sides claim victory. Conflict on the border between Spain and Gibraltar.
