Fear God, honour the King. It’s the little things you do. I resigned my membership from a very august ancient establishment when they flew the rainbow flag of shame, probably no one noticed but it made me feel better…

Is it really indifference which has caused this courtly to slip further down the slope towards a 3rd world country - or is it something else?

There's an interesting contrast between Victorian Britain in the mid-19th century, with the industrial revolution going full steam ahead, and what is now known as Germany where in that same time everything sunk into the bourgeois, small-minded mental attitude caring only for family, not for 'the big world' outside. I suggest this was due to the utter tiredness of a people whose lands had been ravaged by the decades of the Napoleonic wars.

Perhaps this indifference we see today in the Uk is due not just to the last few years but to the consequences which WWI and WWII had on the population, where those who might have had the fortitude to form 'change' were removed from the gene pool, lost forever?

"Where London goes, so will many other urban areas across the West. Whether this is better or worse, who can say: it is certain, however, that it will be quite noticeably different and that you are not allowed to pass too much comment on the matter."

Who can say,indeed,why didn'you,you seem to know better.
