Posted on Fri, 16 Jul 2021

He was right about the East Indian Company and the British. Ironically, it's now China that is the most powerful nation on earth. Britain a spent power dwelling on its past.

Posted on Sat, 03 Jul 2021

I'd say in Google's defence it doesn't know me either. And I'm not sure if witers' retreat should have a possessive (Champions League doesn't.) I'd be suprised that even in such a fictional place any reader didn't recognise the uniqueness and...
