This my friend is a reflection of modern-day post-Christian Britain. So much for the land of Churchill, Sir Issac Newton, and Shakespeare.

Since when did the UK’s left wing take a pro-US turn? (And I don’t mean out of expedience, of course.)

It appears as if Britain has their own Obama now to have and to hold until....well, you know the rest.

The election of this guy as leader of the Labour party has just confirmed it's demise.

Labour is worse off than the Democrats.

Good. If they don’t hate you, you’re doing something wrong.

On 8 May 1945 the Second World War ended in Europe, but rationing continued. Some aspects of rationing became stricter for some years after the war. At the time this was presented as needed to feed people in European areas under British control, whose economies had been devastated by the fighting.[2] This was partly true, but with many British men still mobilised in the armed forces, an austere economic climate, and a centrally-planned economy under the post-war Labour government, resources were not available to expand food production and food imports. Frequent strikes by some workers (most critically dock workers) made things worse.

Ah, yes, the Labour Party, Champion of the Working Man!

Nothing new here, just more vocal!

I don’t understand how any natural born Brit could not vote UKIP.

Most Americans, like myself, will fail to comprehend the magnitude of history behind these words, how really different (and for how long a time) Britain's Left has been compared with the Left of Paris, Berlin, and elsewhere on the continent.

I might express the wish that our Democrats take the same path, but they already have. The Left all over the Western World is at war with their electorates, they would literally prefer to "dissolve" the People and elect another.
