The sun used to never set on the British Empire, lately there has been a need for lighting.

I hate what has happened to Great Britain almost as much as I hate what is happenng to the USA. At least the American patient knows that he is sick, even if he obstinately refuses treatment. But the British patient stubbornly refuses to believe that he is ill.

We are all British now.

Whenever I see articles like this, I'm reminded it's time to pull out two of my favorite books.



The first one was made in the 60s, back when Britain was still holding on to its traditions and prestige, and the other in the 80s when they were clawing out of the misery of the 1970s, and rediscovering those things that made England great, which had only just hung on.

I'm almost afraid to see if the country still even cares these days in a newer book. So much of those bedrock traditions and culture have just been eaten alive.
