We may not go to the gym so often in Britain, but our food doesn’t demand that we do.

I read recently that Britain is the second-fattest industrialized nation, and gaining fast, so a little humility is probably called for here.

I don't read the Spectator all that much, but from what little I've seen it appears to be a more classically European Tory sort of conservative journal, with all of the skepticism of/contempt for the common man and the democratic leveling of opportunity that makes him possible that is such a feature of American conservatism. This article appears to be of that type.

Q: Where are the most beautiful women in the world?

A: Wherever you go after leaving Britain.
