Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe

There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Maybe Finn Gillespie-Petersen did not write the sub-head. There's no mention of 'double-sided coin' in the body of the piece.

'two sides of the same coin' is a metaphor for two things that are a part of a single whole. 'a double-edged sword' is a metaphor for something that can be both favourable and unfavourable at the same time.

The metaphor in this sub-head seems to be a confused mixture of the twain.

In magic, a double-sided coin is simply a trick coin with both sides stamped the same, which clearly isn't relevant here as there's no assertion that tourism is some kind of magic trick.

I had a great time on Sunday at Byline Fest, organised by @bylinetimes.bsky.social It was amazing to go in person and support @mediarevolution.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy - a project which will hopefully cause a stir here on the OSW! More on that soon 👀 #Bylines #MovementMedia #SocialFuture

Reading the article in East Anglia #Bylines about East Anglia's MPs and their involvements in All-Party Parliamentary Groups, I realised that I've never looked at them beyond occasional reports from particular interests.
So I did. Starting with the list of subjects. It's... um... varied, ranging from global and all-humanity topics to local or quite niche. Some of them are a tad surprising.
A fun exploration for a wet Sunday. I shall start with the #APPG for #Opera.

Only a little bit into it, but so far the fifth anniversary edition of the #BylineTimes is outstanding.

It might well be illuminating to see if someone could join financial dots between the Home Office and Facewatch, perhaps Chris Philp himself or those around him.

@BylineTimes?
It might already be happening for all I know.
