This has never happened before: I had nearly completed a piece for Pajamas Media and then realized it was totally out of date within forty-eight hours.

I had been trying to posit that British society is not conducive to the tea party movement that has been sweeping America. First, this is a small nation without recent experience of throwing off a colonial power. Some would argue that the brave defeat of Hitler by the British nation led by Winston Churchill was the ultimate spurning of a conqueror; the American “tea party” campaign is a peacetime social movement and obviously harks back to the overthrow of the colonial mother country.

Until yesterday my analysis of why there are no anti-big-government tea party brigades pitching their tents across the British Isles emanated from my conclusion that football and cricket results are of much more importance to its citizens

LETS HOPE SO: And hope that you all in Britain end up with a 'Conservative Government' out of all this small 'c', of course..

I'd like to ask a question to the British Patrons/Freeiends here? What are the Chance of this..since I know that the Tories are implicated as well (though not as bad as Labour). Will the fringe small-gov parties pick up votes as a result..?
