Dalrymple laments what Britain has become and in fact has moved to southern France to escape the boorish attitude which has haken root in British society.
Mr Dalrymple has the beliefs and courage to point out what is wrong in contemporary Britiain in terms of culture and social trends. Many of his concerns are not unfamiliar to American social conservatives and evangelical Christians (Concerned Women on America, Free Congress Foundation, Focus on Family) and equally to East Asians - I have read tragically far too many accounts of lost spiritual conditions at the home of many 19th Christian missions to China, in Chinese-language Christian periodicals.
However in post-Christian extremely secular modern-day Britain only a minority of people are even aware culturally and socially something is wrong. "Everything is fine! There will always be a Britain around!" seems to me a sign of delusion. As a Bible-believing Christian, I can guess how Britain, a province of the Roman Empire, fits into God's prophetic plans (yet another Christian belief firmly held by many among the great-great-grandparents generation of today's British people, but sneered as "American neo-con CIA plot" by them).
