You make it sound like you arrived here from another planet!
For many, uber, years, I'd constantly get wise-cracked about and over my being from the "land of fruits and nuts". Around 1979, I was at a work-related conference in Fort Lauderdale, FLA. Employees from all over the world. I hit it off right quick with two gents from England. And after the conference, as they had to go to CA, and I was returning to CA, the two ribbed me near non-stop about my "nutty flakiness". Sure, we all used to laugh. CA, latest in all types of experimentation. So cutting edge.
The liberal cutting edge of the last 20 years has been a bloody nightmare come full force into real time.
I think, from time to time, of these two dear men from England. And while CA has turned into a fascistic Democrat orgy-land, England is being overrun by radical Muslims and the same grotty liberal fascists my old state "got" under the guise of "fruits and nuts".
It's really not a laughing matter at all.
"The Dream and the Nightmare". Yes, it can happen anywhere. I pray for England.
Basically....she did.
