"The sick man of Europe." What a label. As I recall, the Ottoman and Russian empires were tagged with it during The Great War. Serbia got it in the 1990s. Germany following Reunification. Italy. Portugal. Now the UK. And you made a clear case for it, Robert. That's especially valuable to Yanks like me who don't have access to decent reporting on what happens on your side of the pond.
