As Others See Us

An undoubted benefit of the World Wide Web is the ability to read articles that not so long ago would have been recycled as chip wrappers or lavatory paper for the budgie. Gruff has just come across this depressingly accurate summary of the current state of the 'U'K, It's an excellent piece and the only real criticism is that the title should have read: 'Why Br*tain is Rotting'.

Br*tish faults are too often laid at England's door and it is important that the confusion in foreign minds between England and Br*tain is resolved. The current mess is due in no small part to the incompetence of those self-serving Scotch and Welsh politicians who have dominated Br*tish politics (and thus English affairs) for the past ten years, and we cannot sit by while they encourage the world and his wife to think otherwise.
