Great Britain - Not So Great?
Well, Gerald Baker is not optimistic.
The US appears, at least for now, to have turned back from this direction. Here's hoping the UK can do the same.
I haven't lived in Britain for more than a decade now, having spent most of my time in the US. But back in the country for the election, I'm not surprised at the palpable sense of futility. The British people are steadily being reduced to a state of cringing dependence on an ever-more voracious and aggrandising Government and a political establishment of almost unconquerable scale that supports and sustains it.What a great description of the inevitable result of a socialist nanny state. Having visited communist countries I have experienced firsthand the futility of life under a government that tries to "take care of you."
