"Unless Britain can come to grips with the true nature of what is happening to them then it has no future. Every thinking person knows what is going on in the UK. They know who the thugs of society really are. But the forces of political correctness are so great that nobody can really speak out."

There is absolutely nothing in those sentences that does not apply right here in the good ole US of A. Perhaps we should come to grips with our own society before we go discovering what others should be doing (assuming that you are not a British citizen).

Of course you are right but the article posted was about the UK. So I made comments about the UK. If the article was about the US, then I would have made statements about the US. I don’t subscribe to the argument that unless things are perfect here (or very good), we cannot comment on issues elsewhere. Besides despite being different countries, we have a very close cultural connections to the UK. I guess I don’t need to explain this to you. Do I? And if you read the UK newspapers, they have very strong opinions about what is happening in the US.
Finally yes I’m an American of British extraction 2 generations back and we have relatives in UK. I’ve been there often.
