Britain has thrown itself into the dustbin of history. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:
A recent interview Tucker Carlson had with George Galloway, a long-time member of the British Parliament and with a show himself in Britain, who was recently detained at the border under terrorism charges for, apparently, the opinions broadcast on his show.
No nation has fallen quicker or more completely than Britain into the totalitarian mindset. It’s why we highlighted this aspect of modern Europe into the film Deconstruction. Britain, as long as it pursues the same oppression of free speech as the Soviet Union, can not be called or considered an ally of the United States.
This is what we have to decide as a people, the American people, who will and who will not be our allies. Governments, especially now, are poor judges of character. They will hold onto traditional alliances, when those alliances have long been strained, simply because they would be unsure of what that would do to international relationships. If we lose Britain, France and Germany as allies, what effect does that have on NATO?
My question, however, is what damage does continued alliances with nations who punish their people for what they have said, posted or broadcast do to international perception? Are we not tarnished by their brush? Yes. It also signals that the United States is not determined to uphold the right to free speech. That in order to maintain these alliances will betray their own people.
Keep calm and allahu ackbar.
Waive the rules the sun has set on perfidious Albion.
