Marks and Spencer, more than just a shop, a veritable British institution can usually expect to make a tidy profit at Christmas because folk like us like to spend our money there. Their displays of Christmas goods and, especially their food, are a joy to behold. Even without buying anything, a visit to M&S at
The British are among the most mild-mannered people in the world. We apologise to the waiter when the food is not up to snuff; we say sorry when others mumble and we cannot understand what they’ve said; we even offer a mea culpa to those who career into us along the pavement, as though it

It’s far easier for instance, to make contacts and secure requests for interviews as Editor of The New Conservative, than it is as a mere mortal.

Looking over Luzhou City in Sichuan Province from the fifteenth-floor balcony of my apartment I was wondering, after over twenty years of coming to China, what was wrong with this country.
