Time for a stable rational one-party state where the elite rule and the people feel well-governed?

Methinks Lord Digby is suggesting something along the lines of the Chinese Communist Party.

And why not?

America is going down the plughole so it will no longer be the world's most powerful nation. Indeed, it will be the world's most reviled if it carries on in Iraq and Afghanistan, which it probably will because Americans are now even more stupid than they were.

There is no need for Britain to be stupid too, though.

If Britain wants a Special Relationship with the World's Most Powerful Nation, it had better raise its sights from America to China.

If it can be America's Poodle, there is no reason why it cannot be China's Pekingese. They are after all both lapdogs.

Learning Chinese would be A Good Thing for the Dumbed-Down British.

Out will go all these decades of toxic Progressive ideology, back will come traditional ideas of rote learning to instill discipline in the increasingly enfeebled, demented, feminised, neurotic, retarded, alcoholic, obese, impoverished and illegitimate British.

They will then realise that there is no such thing as dyslexia, only not very bright children, over-protective and indulgent parents and ineffective teaching methods that are so child-centred it will not tell a child off when it has done something wrong or spelt or written a word incorrectly. Or tell a child to write a word 20 times until it can write it correctly.

In the end, it is only continuing in its long ignoble tradition of wanting to punch above its weight, only to get knocked out, of course.
