Check out the letter to the editor of the London Times:


"The pernicious new Puritanism (is) slowly squeezing the life and soul out of Britain. Ye gods, as my grandmother used to say, almost all the middle classes have left is their glass of wine in the evening. That bottle of organic Pech-Latt (?6.49 from Ocado, very reasonable and actually extremely drinkable) is the equivalent of the 19th-century factory worker?s shot of gin. Because let?s face it, this Government is doing its best to make our lives about as miserable as any pox-raddled Hogarthian *****?s. Utter the word ?middle class? in Whitehall and watch their greedy little pimps? eyes light up with pound signs. Behold the British middle-classes ? a docile, law-abiding army of tax slaves. Hurrah, let?s blow it all on some more social workers in Newcastle."


He could be writing about our congress.

IMHO, seems to apply to our Aussie cousins as well. Unfortunately, it seems to be creeping into the USA ethic as well.:(

Creeping? Don't you mean pouring in faster than a tsunami?

Sure..
One Brit wrote a letter and now the Brits have just about had enough.....
In the 1930s there was one Brit.The King of Brits in fact who had a great liking for fascism and Hitler.I can only conclude,that according to your logic, the Brits were fascists.
I guess we are lucky that there are more Brits in England than just one.

Don't expect him to answer that -- or if he does, honestly.

See how many Brit's got out and live in another country now............
I am one of them !!!!!
I often wonder how and what I would be doing if I was still there. I am a mechanical engineer and left because there were no jobs and no future for my family.
One thing for sure, I would not be doing as well as I am here.

Footsie,not everybody is like you.
I could not care less what the Brits do with their nation and Island.In fact I believe that they will do whatever the democratic chosen majority in their country chooses to do.Even if you think they should not.
Now footsie please do stop comparing my world to your own.You see,in my world honesty is a common trait.

Jeez, lighten up. The point of the posting was the language, which I found amusing.

Of course he does. It's one of his models. He just wishes that the US would hurry up and follow suit. Why else would he subscribe to the philosophy of a party that is run by the likes of Hillary, Bill, Teddy, et al.

Boom,thanks for telling me what I think,without insulting anybody.
I do agree with some socialist things and I disagree with some other socialist things.
I do not have an agenda beyond my plans to go lake trout fishing tomorrow.

Well rolmops, maybe you don't, but I guaran-d*mntee you that your party leaders do. They would take this all powerfull, all controlling socialist centralized government as far as they could possibly get away with.

Fortunately, up til now, progress has been slow. They simply cannot move any faster than they can dumb the populace down. Unfortunately, with the state of the government and NEA controlled education system, that pace is ever quickening.

Kids today are taught nothing about the whys and wherefores of the philosophies of the countrys founding principals. I think it would be absolutely frightful to take a polling regarding the meaning of 'Federal Republic'.

The Dems and ALL it's adherants are doing a bang up job.
