Because Independence Day always makes for a slow news weekend, that leaves room for looking at and thinking about other news stories that wouldn't normally make the grade at American Thinker. The one that caught my eye was the Daily Mail's huge photo essay showing the wedding of Charlotte Freud, one of Rupert Murdoch's granddaughters, to Luke Storey, a rapper. It was held in the exquisitely picturesque English Cotswold district, but the photos are a testament to the death of beauty in the modern era.

If you like things that are quintessentially English, the Cotswold district is the place for you:

...

There’s also the charming traditional English wedding, held in an old church, with the bride in virginal white, the blushing bridesmaids, the tuxedoed groomsmen, and the charmingly attired guests, including women in big hats. Although it's played for comedy, think of this wedding from 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral:

James Murdoch, the leftist Murdoch son who left Fox News behind, was the picture of cultural appropriation, in a calf-length purple Pakistani-style tunic over white trousers, an outfit completed with a black vest. His wife wore black and no smile.

This is the elite take that everything beautiful and appropriate is bourgeois and boring. A family member who worked in the film industry scoffed at enjoyable engrossing films because they were not edgy enough or shocking.

Too much money with no boundaries or ethics or sense of decens leads to senseless, frittered, materialistic lives.

No, the Morlocks are not Western civilization and neither are the rags of propaganda littering thoughts.
