The hopeless NHS is temple to a dead religion. But there is a FAR better way - and I live in the country that's nailed it...
The article criticizes the NHS as a failing system, comparing it unfavorably to the French healthcare model, which is praised for its efficiency and patient-centered approach. The author argues that the NHS is burdened by bureaucracy and inefficiency, while the French system offers timely and effective care. The piece suggests that the UK should consider adopting a healthcare model similar to France's to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction. The article also critiques the perception of the NHS as a 'sacred' institution and calls for significant reforms to address its shortcomings.
Now we have two Brexit wreckers in power - one in Paris, one in London
Michel Barnier's appointment as French Prime Minister has sparked controversy, with critics from various political factions expressing discontent. Barnier, known for his role in Brexit negotiations, is seen as a divisive figure. His appointment is viewed negatively by many, including Nigel Farage and members of the French National Rally and EELV Green Party. The article highlights the challenges Barnier faces, including a significant budget deficit and limited support in the National Assembly. The sentiment towards Barnier is largely negative, with skepticism about his ability to address France's economic and social crises.
Why Macron may be forced to eat his patronising words about Brexit

It contrasts the UK's post-Brexit economic recovery with the EU's internal crises, highlighting issues in France, Germany, and other member states. The piece also touches on the broader dissatisfaction within the EU and questions whether EU countries are better off within the union.

Nearly 20 Million Americans Have a Felony Record. What Happens After They’ve Served Their Time?
The article reviews Reuben Jonathan Miller's book 'Halfway Home,' which explores the enduring impact of incarceration on the nearly 20 million Americans with felony records. Miller, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, delves into the 'afterlife' of prison, describing how former inmates face numerous legal and social barriers. Drawing from his research and personal experiences, Miller highlights the struggles of re-entry, emphasizing that the problem extends beyond individual behavior to systemic issues. The book features stories of individuals like Lorenzo and Martin, who have faced significant challenges but have managed to find some stability.
Will Abe Go To North Korea?
Mid-level diplomats from Japan and North Korea recently met in China to discuss the transfer of Japanese soldiers' remains and the unresolved abduction of Japanese nationals by North Korea. Japan insists on transparency from North Korea regarding the fate of the abductees, while North Korea claims the issue is resolved. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has taken a firm stance on the matter, emphasizing it in his 'Japan is Back' speech and sending special envoy Isao Iijima to Pyongyang, which raised concerns among South Korean and American officials about Japan's commitment to a united front on Korean peninsula security issues.
A Glimmer Of Hope For Japan-Korea Ties?
Japan-Korea relations have been particularly strained this year, highlighted by a frosty encounter between South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The two nations continue to clash over historical interpretations and territorial disputes, with recent actions by both leaders exacerbating the lack of trust. The situation is further complicated by South Korea's growing ties with China, especially in light of China's new Air Defense Identification Zone, which affects both Japanese and Korean airspace. This development could potentially alter the dynamics between these countries.
Egypt Crisis Extends To The Indo-Pacific
The international community is closely monitoring the escalating crisis in Egypt, which poses significant risks not only to regional security in the Middle East and North Africa but also to key states in the Indo-Pacific. The Suez Canal and the SUMED oil pipeline are critical infrastructures that, if disrupted, could severely impact global trade and economic stability. The Egyptian military is intensifying security measures to prevent such disruptions, but the threat from Sinai-based militants remains high. The ongoing instability in Egypt, coupled with broader regional tensions, could have far-reaching implications for global peace and economic stability, particularly affecting countries in the Indo-Pacific that rely on oil imports from the Arabian Peninsula.
Leveraging ASEAN's Role On North Korean Denuclearization
The 20th ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) meeting concluded in Brunei, with discussions on North Korea's denuclearization as a key outcome. Despite skepticism about ARF's effectiveness, there is a nearly uniform acknowledgment of the need for Pyongyang to denuclearize. China's shifting stance and North Korea's strategic dilemma, losing leverage with China and seeking dialogue with Six-Party Talks members, present an opportunity for ASEAN to enhance its diplomatic role. ASEAN could establish a subgroup focused on nuclear issues in East Asia or create a new working group on denuclearization in the Korean Peninsula. These initiatives could maintain dialogue momentum and potentially lead back to the Six-Party Talks, while also bolstering ASEAN's political stature in East Asian multilateralism.
