Me in today's Telegraph. Why Britain should not worry about the new age of protectionism. Modern trade is already blended with tariffs, subsidies and government chicanery. Only 20% of our agricultural imports and 65% of other imports are duty-free. Free trade abroad has run in line with greater bureaucratisation and curtailment of business at home.

It’s funny how ‘demography is destiny’ is accepted in the most basic sense, and then just left with no consideration of what this might actually mean.
