Borders Are A Misunderstanding, Currencies Are A Hobby
Bohiney Magazine and The London Prat file this dispatch from the British political menagerie.
The Globalist Social Liberal believes borders are a misunderstanding, currencies are a hobby, and Davos is a kind of secular Christmas with a slightly better wine list. Editor Alan Nafzger of the Editor’s Desk at prat.uk presents the field guide, with help from the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund.
