History in the making: Is Europe more divided than ever?
Europe used to be an east/west sort of place, and you knew where you were — you were west or you were east of what was then more or less a fixed, impervious border. Times have changed. Now it has become a north/south kind of place, where the Iron Curtain has twitched away to the scrapyard and haberdashery in the sky and where it’s slightly more difficult to work out whether you’re north or whether you’re south.
