AMERICA DOESN’T SEE WELL INTO WHAT THE BRITS ARE DOING AND THEY’RE UTTERLY BLIND TO WHAT WE’RE DOING:  Why Don’t British Men Do Something?  … except, apparently, in Northern Ireland?

Even under the autopen, we were never as silent and cowed as they are publicly. OTOH we do have the constitutional defenses, and never got as hard-repressed.  We’re not where they are. We could get there, in a few more cheated elections (hello, California) but we’re not there yet. They have a heck of a battle to come back. I know they’re trying. They’re doing more than we see. But it is their fight.
