To have lived through this humiliating era has been a revelation to me. From what was arguably the most free country in the world we descended into a dreary faux-European "social democracy", with the added excrescence of a new nationalism fostered by Liberal Party interest.
We desperately need the Tories to form a majority government, and then make it Job #1 to horse-whip Liberal appointees through the streets.
I suppose I'll settle for firings. ;^)

Me too.
And since we are talking about a humiliating era: Born a British "subject," and as proud as a young man could be of the sea of red on every world map and that "the sun never set on the British Empire," I've spent my life in Aerospace/Aeronautics/Aviation and have traveled the equivalent of upwards of 700 times around the Earth.
And although, thank God, now an American, what is worse for me than the faux Euro-peon socialist "democracies" into which both once great now grovelling Britain and its every former colony (With the marked exception of, since 1942 America-oriented, Australia) has degenerated, is, everywhere I've ever traveled and travel still, the attitude of the pathetically pontificating faux Euro-peon pukes and crapheads who haven't seen and cannot see the mess they've made and and who blissfully, every one of them a little legend in his own lunchtime Winston Jerome Churchill, a John G Diefenbaker, a Peter Fraser or even a "Kiwi Keith" Holyoake, both lord it over the bloody disasters they've created -- and talk down to the rest of us.
