After Britain, A Different Deluge

Not quite a cottage industry, the diagnosing of Once-Great Britain with terminal moral slovenliness and cultural exhaustion is certainly now a phenomenon. Peter Hitchens and Theodore Dalrymple have been published at book length on the subject, and the September issue of The New Criterion covers it in sorrowful, skin-crawling detail. "The End of Virtuous Albion," "The Real British Disease"--titles such as these follow fast on the heels of news that British schoolchildren will be granted a five-per-diem useage of the f-word, because surrendering to profanity will make students more manageable, or because it's lodged irretrievably in their vernacular, or for some other "reason." Meanwhile, among other embarrassments, British imams publicly announce they hold no allegiance to crown or country. And perhaps worst of all, most British seem to have lost all connection with the cultural, educational, and artistic heritage that made their nation count. [More at Postmodern Conservative.]
