 Britain's liberal intelligentsia has smashed virtually every social value
By MELANIE PHILLIPS

So now the chickens have well and truly come home terrifyingly to roost. The violent anarchy that has taken hold of British cities is the all-too-predictable outcome of a three-decade liberal experiment which tore up virtually every basic social value.

Britain was once an ordered society that was the envy of the world - the most civilised, the most gentle and law-abiding.

On what planet? Certainly not this one. Envied? Maybe. Feared? Hell yeah. For being brutal, racist, and imperialistic. Not civilised, gentle, or law-abiding. *stares in disbelief* Someone clearly failed their History A-levels, didn't she?

[thepuddingcook]

SRSLY. gentle what? Law-abiding, you say? Ok then.

[svtstarlight]

So law abiding that Sir Robert Peel had to organise the 'Peelers', the fore-runners of today's Metropolitan police force. Yeah. Whatever. *rolls eyes* So gentle that people (including CHILDREN) were frequently thrown into prison for being unable to pay their debts, never to be seen again.

FAIL, Ms Philips... Go back to school and let me know when you actually know your history correctly. I'm not even British and I know this shit backwards and forwards.

Not to mention that the British Museum is filled with items that were basically looted from British conquests.

[svtstarlight]

Well, to be fair, just about every museum in the world is filled with looted stuff, but yes...

Civilised? What civilisation the Brits have came from elsewhere...or did she forget this part?

When? I am American, but my specialty is English and British history. Really - please tell me when this beautiful and most magical time was?

[svtstarlight]

I think she's been watching too much Merlin cuz it sounds like mythical Camelot or sth to me. (not that I've seen it myself, but you know...)

[x_butterfly19_x]

[celtic_thistle]

GENTLE? lmao oh okay.

[masakochan]
