> Typical self-congratulatory anglo-conservative clap trap. No one outside of a very small group of wealthy Britons and Americans (and, alright, some wealthy educated descendants from the former colonies) could possibly share such an immensely bowdlerized narrative of anglo history. I couldn't agree more. I have immense regard for the development of the British political system over the last millennium but an account that distills out this fairytale narrative from the immense oppression - of Britain's own, poor and working people, of the colonialism and slavery - that accompanied it is a dishonest and blinkered view of history.
