Would these not be the same British, the mayor of whose largest city–and once arguably the most powerful city in the world, and certainly the most important city by far in Britain–approved raising a balloon of the American President in diapers? I’m surprised Trump did not take a dump on the lawn somewhere.
The British don’t respect themselves. They are not protecting their civilization and institutions. They can’t demand respect for them they are unwilling to grant themselves. Habits are outer forms. The substance of their culture has been in decline for many, many years.
It is true Churchill did support something like the EU. It is also true he fought personally in one massive European conflict, and led Britain in a second. That sort of thing will cause you to see the value of being interconnected.
But Churchill was very clear sighted as far as Islam. His quotes on the subject are of course not politically correct, but they were the result of close personal observation. Among other things, he fought against the Mahdi in the Sudan, if memory serves.
Islam, as being practiced currently in most of Britain, IS NOT compatible with Liberal culture. Period. There is no need to qualify this statement in any way.
Now, given how many nations Britain has invaded and occupied, perhaps it would be just for it to fall to those who come from those nations, but any genuine Liberals in the West cannot accept this without protest. Islamization is regression for the rights of women, for children, for gays, and for everyone unable or unwilling to submit to Islam. They want everyone to believe as they do, and they want to inflict physical violence on those unwilling. No sane person can accept this, particularly when the religious content is that of a 6th Century sensibility.
So even though it is a bit comical watching some British pretend they have standards, it is really more sad. It is sad for all of us, sad for those who think that the concept of human rights is beautiful and should be protected for all.
