They’re going Islam-o-nanny .....
Like my Dad used to say, “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed”.
I had to get near the bottom of the article to find the most likely reason.
Their euro-peons like the rest of em.... we’ve been cleaning up their miscalculations for decades. Their condescending attitudes and lack of appreciation for the sacrifices Americans have made to clean up their messes has grown tiresome.
It’s been downhill since Atlee . . .
This is tame compared to the vitriol from the “Guardian”.
They just put turbo-boost on their national decline.
Hate to watch...love(d?) the place!
Their media is feeding it just like ours is.
Then there’s the fact that the UK has become more Orwellian than George Orwell imagined possible.

I think you mean formerly a great country. I remember travelling through the U.K. in the Seventies and even then there was a strong undercurrent of anti-Americanism, especially in the university towns. Most of it had to do with the then-recent Vietnam War but a lot of the more traditional consevative types seemed to have a chip on their shoulder because the U.S. had eclipsed their country.
Since then, as you stated, it has been a fast fall.
The english speaking people only love each other in crisis.This sounds weak and feckless but it’s not.
If one’s first language is english,then one is forever connected to the greatest,most free and advanced global society in history.
Look at the countries today that were colonized by nations other than England and you will see chaos,corruption,tyranny and ignorance in the vast majority of them.
No Anglophillic bigotry-just historical fact.
Granted,England did try a bit of genocide with the Irish,but as with the American Cival War,all turned out well in the end.
The UK and her greatest,if unintended,legacy,the United States of America,share the beggetting of the best the earth has to offer.
It matters not the race or ethnicity,english speaking people are bound by not just a language but a metaphysical gene pool that makes them special and invulnerable to mortal injury exept from within.
In peace we play the silly socialist games that divide us—the WOT is kind of on the back burner of late as memories of 9/11 fade and new such attacks have not manifested.
It won’t last and we will be lovers again.
England’s former colonies in Africa are a mess.
I don’t know. Lady T wasn’t too bad.
True,but other than Kenya and South Africa,the others were never fully colonized.Compared to other sub-Sahara nations,they are still certainly better than the rest.
Also,formerly colonized Muslim countries tend to stray to tyranny on their own no matter what European country once held them.
I did not intend to make a universal assumption and you are correct to correct me.
I meant “in most cases.”
>True,but other than Kenya and South Africa,the others were never fully colonized.
