Not Special

I suppose somewhere in the coming debates there will be some discussion of the "special relationship" between the U.S. and UK.  I wish it would stop.  The British are idiots.

• Point #1 - They are comically corruptible and susceptible to blackmail.
• Point #2 - Although they would like to suggest they have some secret imperial wisdom to impart, a la Greece to Rome, the reality is that they cannot even retain Scotland.  Pathetic.
• Point #3 - In Keynes' homeland, the ruling classes, abetted by an attack of collective amnesia by the economics profession, have delivered disastrous economic performance.

This is a huge shame because England is so culturally rich, so full of historic import.  It is a magnificent place to visit, and my experiences visiting there have been uniformly positive.

But their leadership must be, at all costs, ignored.  It's a twit-ocracy, and not getting better.
