We certainly have a lot of ball-less Americans. I think the Viet Cong got John McCain’s for example. You do wish— don’t you?—that Britains still retained more of their ancient English liberties? (The right to defend yourself, the right to a jury (being lost to the EU), the right to kick Muslims over the cliffs of Dover, etc.)
Yes, I think you said it well right there. Sometimes on these threads, it seems that we are knocking the English, when to me it’s really more of a sadness reaction of what has happened to them since the close of WWII, that and maybe we see a bit of what might becomes of us if we don’t stand up for ourselves while we have the chance.
