Well, well. I sympathize with you. It’s been a long time since George III, and for the most part both America and modern England have developed ideas of freedom. England—and Christian Europe—is where Americans got their concept of freedom from, even though they had to fight them to get it.
I have English cousins, and spent a year there as a visiting scholar at Jesus College, Cambridge, as well as various shorter visits.
I must say that I think England has gone down hill too, since the days of World War II and the post-colonial fiascos. Neither country is what it was, and it’s hard to say which of them faces the worst karma, frankly. Think Prince Charles or David Cameron, and compare them to Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, or Maggie Thatcher.
While we did get some of our (the US’s) ideas of freedom from Brittan (i.e., the Magna Carta), we got more of them from classical (i.e., Greek and Roman) civilizations and the Bible.
