"Englishmen are only gentlemen in England", not anymore. More than the complexation of the 'English' has changed.
Former British PM Margaret Thatcher in a time past when England experienced civil disorder said, "the veneer of civilization is thin". How correct Margaret was.
England is a nation that has lost it's identity, the natural outcome of an empire imploding. America is experiencing a similar fate. I do not fault the "lesser breed" from immigrating to the mother land for a better life. Ditto Mexicans in America. I do fault England & America for not governing immigration policy in an responsible manner.
Anarchist, MoveOn, criminals, useful idiots, terrorist, Marxist, really stupid people, the cast of characters involved in civil disorder is like Satan's own, the list is LEGION. Somebody needs to strike up the band & play "A World Turned Upside Down" then march out in good order.
The American Revolution was a revolution of 'shop keepers' the same type of person that made England great - America also. The French Revolution was driven by a brutal Monarchy & exploited by vile creatures. The Russian Revolution was a Red replay of the French, not American Revolution. In England, the world of the 'shop keeper' is being brought to it's knees by gangs. In America the process is driven by IRS code. The shop keeper is another way of saying the middle class. When the shop keeper is gone that leaves a two class system. It makes no matter what the ideology of the two class system is, it is alien to the principles that made England Great & America the light of the world.
When the fires of London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham, etc, burn out, the world will realize that the light of democracy burns weaker in Europe. Soon the lights will be going out all over Europe, as they did in 1914, we will not see them lit again in our time. Sir Edward Gray, Minister Of British Parliament said that in 1914, how correct he is still.
Strike up the band - Cheerio.
