Brexit Isn't About Leaving Today's European Union: It's About Not Joining Tomorrow's – Forbes. As the losing side of the referendum won't accept the outcome graciously in the best British traditions, I guess we still need to keep making the point. Tim Worstall does so very well in the linked…

Московский урбанистический форум. I am back where this blog began, in Moscow. My first post was from here. I'm speaking on a panel of "experts" at the Moscow Urban Development Forum and hoping to catch up with lots of my old friends. Blogging may be light, but I hope there will be…
