They do so because it was.
The American revolution sent in motion the bourgeois democratic revolutions that first spilled over to France, and later in different ways over to much of the West and even beyond in some cases in the 19th- and 20th centuries.
Israel is the Rhodesia of our time
They have created a paradise at the threshold of barbarians
The communists in the West cannot tolerate this
They stew with rage and hatred at everything excellent
They are doing everything in their power to turn Israel into the next Zimbabwe
Happy Fourth of July!
Today is also the 47th anniversary of the daring Entebbe raid. I was only 5 at the time, but I remember being inspired by the amazing courage of the @IDF team that rescued the hostages & killed the terrorists.
I thought, “that’s a very Texan foreign policy.”
Wants to turn UK into Singapore (I guess 60 million Londoners??) but decries "globalism"
Stop teaching the right new terms and concepts its doing untold damage
There are economies in the world which basically work: high income, sky-high social capital, world-class education, efficient services, low crime, high happiness, clean streets, functional everything. At least two of them, Hong Kong and Singapore, were British creations, back when we still had sane and competent politicians and bureaucrats instead of a captured civil service that ditched numeracy in the Treasury for diversity quotas.
That was the promise of Brexit: ditch the straitjacket, cut taxes, restore sovereignty, and become the Singapore of the Atlantic. Low tax, high trust, open but orderly, ambitious on the world stage. The so-called smart people sneered it was impossible, stupid, even dangerous. Instead they offered us Manchesterism.
WTF?
As if any sentient person on Earth wakes up thinking, “Yes, Manchester, that’s the glittering future I want for my children.” No one believes this. Not even the most committed Labourites in private. It’s garbage politics: the globalist endgame dressed up as progress, wheeling yet another mid-range, mid-competent, thoroughly biddable satrap onto the stage. It is genuinely humiliating. Brezhnev, for all his senility and stagnation, had more tangible accomplishments than Burnham.
Look at the record. Finances? Not healthy by any serious high-income standard. A £1 billion-plus budget now, yes, after central tweaks, but saddled with £1.6 billion in debt (up sharply), persistent gaps, heavy social care pressures, and reliance on reserves or central props.
Health? Life expectancy and healthy years lag the national average with grotesque deprivation gaps, higher preventable mortality, obesity, and services stretched to breaking.
Crime? Elevated violent and knife rates in known hotspots — Moss Side, Longsight, parts of Salford — creating patchwork safety: fine in the centre by day, avoid certain estates at night.
Youth? Rising NEETs and gang pipelines where opportunity died.
Native housing? Priced-out locals renting into middle age while home ownership slips away.
Happiness and life satisfaction? Dragged down by the lot of it, lower in the North West than in more cohesive places.
We invented better models once. Brexit was the chance to revive that competence and ambition. Instead, the “smart” people gave us Manchesterism: mid-tier outcomes, strained services, visible decay, and lectures on net zero while the basics creak.
It humiliates a nation that once exported order and prosperity. We could have been serious again. We still can if we reject this midwit self-fart sniffing managerialism and remember what we once built.
"a prosperous society requires social trust"
The right wont even touch this topic for the most part, they compartmentalize it and expect the country to do so with them.
