Hobby horse nation


In The Abolition of Britain, Peter Hitchens charted how Britain went from being the nation of Sir Winston Churchill to that of Princess Diana; a once-serious country that put up statues to heroes in Trafalgar Square that  is now dominated by a decadent uberclass that erects ephemeral monuments to toys instead.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
