I’ve been reading the Brit newspapers on line from the beginning. They have slowly turned over all their news to stories on America. You sometimes have to hit “British news” to get British news from their online editions. The hard copies are quite different.

If you read the comments section, they generally say that it is because of all the Americans coming to them from Drudge. Some - rightfully, I think - resent the fact that their newspapers are more about us than them.

Why are we surprised at the decline and fall of Brit morals? We have witnessed the near-total secularization of English society, the vanishing of church attendance, and the suffocating political correctness of the flaccid Anglican church.

Victorian England, which had standards of decency, is mocked by the intellectual elite. The nation has come a long way from the Ten Commandments of the Bible (which condemns yob drunkenness and chick sluttiness).

Meanwhile “puritan” America, thanks to liberals and stupid conservatives acting as liberals, is not far behind.

The Brits are covering the stories that Americans won't do. Possibly because there is less pressure that American Dems can put on Brit publications who do not stay "reasonable".
