THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: London's black cabs might be as iconic as Big Ben, but in a city that has almost abolished other much loved symbols such as red telephone boxes and Routemaster buses, being iconic is no guarantee of a future. London's famous licensed taxis are now facing stronger competition from new rivals.
Democracy is an illusion! It’s become a political system fostered by the élite, for the élite, in order to fool the people that they have a stake in the system. In actual fact, they have virtually none. The whole political system in the modern era, despite having noble beginnings, is now used to benefit the few at the expense of the many. – Mark Alexander, June 29, 2018
