20yrs ago @NATO anchored #Poland, #Hungary & #CzechRepublic in our Transatlantic security & defense community. It was the right decision then, it remains so today in these increasingly dangerous times. @FrencLindley @CER_IanBond @IanBrzezinski @sakkov @AnnwieAnna @elisabethbraw

Time for Europe’s centre-right group to kick out Viktor Orban, writes @TheEconomist’s Charlemagne: “The case for expelling Fidesz is overwhelming. Far from restraining him, cosseting Mr Orban in the EPP has legitimised his illiberal abuses.” economist.com/europe/2019/03…

16 days before the UK is due to leave the EU and the House of Commons is to vote on a completely new Brexit strategy which the EU has said - since 2016 and as recently as this morning - it can't accept.
But yes, apart from that, all fine.

I was curious if it was cheaper or more expensive to buy your kid's way into college legally? Unclear, but here are some numbers from about six years ago.

China’s population expanded by 0.38 per cent last year — a rate comparable with western European countries. That was the lowest pace since 1961, when the country was struggling with the aftermath of a famine that killed about 40m people. -- via @FT

The problem was that the boy did not play football. They did not even have a football team at his secondary school.“I’m going to make him a kicker/punter,” he decided. “I’ll get a picture and figure out how to Photoshop and stuff.” - Great read @FinancialTimes @JoshuaChaffin twitter.com/JoshuaChaffin/…

EU27 ambassadors had long session on Brexit next steps. Countries are divided on how much their leaders should be prepared to grant an extension at next week's summit. A small hard-line camp says "do nothing", but most want to be ready to give UK something by 21st pending request
