The UK is a perfect example of what happens to a truly great country when you let the leftists hold sway, even for a short time.

I’ve always loved England and visited there frequently for many years, but you wouldn’t get me to go there on a bet these days.

America has so far avoided the worst effects of its own multiculturalism because it has a proud national identity. Most immigrants still want to become Americans as they once wished to become British.

John O'Sullivan is making the same mistake for America that he is describing for the UK.

I'm getting Dex yellow pages on my Phoenix doorstep in Spanish only.

This is not news to the bulk of us, but it is a well articulated view of what we already know.
In short, political correctness is almost exclusively responsible for the state of Britain today.
The most distressing feature of it however, is it’s powerful self-perpetuation. The BBC, the Guardian, the Independent, Westminster, practically all local government employees - this has been a Stalinesque style takeover, which will be very, very difficult to reverse.
Quite simply, all these people, with their smug, self-righteousness and aggressive assertion, have been almost completely WRONG. But there will be much more blood on the walls, before they admit it, even to themselves.
Educational egalitarianism? - failed.
Responsible social behaviour - failed.
Policing - failed.
Promoting family life - failed.
Controlling immigration - failed.
Impartial news reporting - failed.
Control of public spending - failed.
International esteem - failed.
Rewarding the deserving - failed

Funding, fuelling and rewarding the feckless, criminal and security threats - major success!

. This one hits very close to home and sounds rather like America in some respects.

” I’ve always loved England and visited there frequently for many years, but you wouldn’t get me to go there on a bet these days.”

I feel the same way . Heck , even many Brits don’t want to be there .

I visited 6 times between 1976-1983 for a total of about 20 weeks and had a helluva good time without a hassle . Miss the pubs .
