I always admired the Britain of bygone days,the Britain that was proud of itself,even its insularity. The present Britain(at least as presented to the world by its leftist media)is either a weak imitation of what it thinks America is(again as presented by our own largely liberal/leftist media,at least until recently), or a wanna-be "cosmopolitan"(in the worst sense of the word)nation. I know that the Britain of "Mrs Miniver" was perhaps somewhat a caricature,but isn't a caricature kind of a distillation of the truth? Anyway,that's the Britain that I admired and respected,the one with those values and that faith in itself and that dignified self-respect.
