Interesting listening to your views on uk politics, and how we are perceived over there in the US. While I totally agree there has been an organised effort by the political class in this country to erode traditional British culture, the problems you touch on are mostly found in our major cities. Not everywhere in the UK follows this pattern.
It is a commonly held belief that what happens in America, is echoed over here 5-10 years later. Hopefully this Trump era is a prosperous one for the US and we are encouraged to follow a similar path. Early signs look good. The challenge over here is that most people’s opinion of Donald Trump is fed to them by the BBC.
Keep an eye on Nigel Farage and the reform uk party. They received a large portion of the vote in this most recent election and their support is growing…
There is a silent majority in Britain that is growing increasingly angrier at the way this country is going. We look across the Atlantic for encouragement all is not lost.

That's good to hear. The world needs a strong Britain again. I still honor the Britain that stood alone in the world against the Nazis and the USSR for a full year. Presumably, those Britons' blood still flows in the the veins of your countrymen - who hopefully will wake up one day and realize with anger that they let a groomer named Keir Starmer allow British girls to be raped by gangs of Islamist migrants.

Also, thrilled to see Rip and Glenn working together. Two of my favorites.

There’s a great film about that period called Darkest Hour, with Gary Oldman as Churchill. Tells the story of how Churchill galvanised the British government to fight whilst the rest of Europe had surrendered- even with members high up in the government such as Lord Halifax pushing for peace with Hitler.
