I see that Peter Hitchens has decided to get on the bandwagon vis a vis the demise of the British culture. He uses his latest blog to rant against various topics, including the fact that Oxford may soon be playing the Muslim call to prayer over city loudspeakers.
Alas, Pete, you're too late. I've been saying for quite a while now that Britain is going down the tubes. Not that any Brit would notice. After Hitchens' long rant on loudspeakers, burglar alarms, and Tony Blair's conversion to Catholicism, most of the response comes from people that don't like noisy burglar alarms. The priorities in Britain are as mixed up as their own sense of purpose.
I remember being in England when the Euro replaced the Franc, Deutschmark, so forth. I thought then that the European Union was a disastrous idea, and that Britain's last bastion of culture would be the Pound Sterling. I was wrong. Nothing can save Britain from the tidal wave caused by the EU. What were they thinking? France, Germany, England, Spain. Surely a lowly Canadian (me) could not have been brighter than their political elite. For them not to see that tearing down their borders meant everyone and anyone could now move into their iconic cities at will was lunacy. Given the choice, where did they think people would go? Prague? Warsaw? Or London, Paris, and Madrid, cities with a culture for the taking and government subsidies to boot.
Adios, Europe.
