Second in a continuing series, a watch on the decline and fall of no- longer- Great Britain.
In John Derbyshire's ever- entertaining monthly Diary for July, he tells of how perfectly normal young and middle aged Brits are abandoning the land of overwhelming PC and daunting costs for the Mediterranean, Australia, the US,and in the case of his nephew, Turkey!
He ruminates:"So, what? — Britain's just going to...empty out?"
And recounts this story: " Jay Nordlinger likes to tell of a conversation he had in London once with David Pryce-Jones, about some constitutional outrage the British government was perpetrating. Jay: "Why do the British people put up with it, with that great tradition of liberty they have?" P-J: "Jay, the British people don't live here any more." "
"Looks like this may soon be literally true!"
