Irreconcilable Cultures

One of the many difficulties with living in a police state ruled by laws, rather than a democratic People's Plutocracy ruled by Rupert Murdoch, is that the cut and thrust of political debate tends to become blunted and listless. Where every important question is reduced to a legal technicality, the terms of which are mercilessly enforced by a robotic army of bureaucratic clones, there is no room for the civilised exchange of viewpoints and big-tented tolerance of the right sort of people that has developed in the Sun-lit uplands of the United Kingdom. Doubtless this partially explains why the beastly Euro-wogs persist in misunderstanding the entire purpose behind the mainland's cutting-off of the Continent, and thus why yet another foreigner with another funny name has called upon the UK to tone down the political rhetoric, as though there were actually something to talk about. Such is the ongoing tragedy of the Strasbrusselsian dictatorship, beside which a few weeks in winter without light, heat or food are the merest bagatelle.
