If it weren't so serious, the situation in Great Britain would almost be comical. The country is being governed by a talking robot, nicknamed the Maybot, that somehow managed to visit the burned-out tower block in the west of London without speaking to a single survivor or voluntary helper. Negotiations for the country’s exit from the EU are due to begin on Monday, but no one has even a hint of a plan. The government is dependent on a small party that provides a cozy home for climate change deniers and creationists. Boris Johnson is Foreign Secretary. What in the world has happened to this country?
Two years ago David Cameron emerged from the parliamentary election as the shining victor. He had secured an absolute majority, and as a result it looked as if the career of this cheerful lightweight was headed for surprisingly dizzy heights. The economy was growing faster than in any other industrialised country in the world. Scottish independence and, with it, the break-up of the United Kingdom had been averted. For the first time since 1992, there was a Conservative majority in the House of Commons. Great Britain saw itself as a universally respected actor on the international stage. This was the starting point.
In order to get from this comfortable position to the chaos of the present in the shortest possible time, two things were necessary: first, the Conservative right wingers’ obsessive hatred of the EU, and second, Cameron’s irresponsibility in putting the whole future of the country on the line with his referendum, just to satisfy a few fanatics in his party. It is becoming ever clearer just how extraordinarily bad a decision that was.

It is not the beginning of the end but the end of a new beginning. The past seventy years have been mired in struggles but complacency, lies and forgetting who we really are. As we continued to forget, so did things begin to decline. Political correctness took hold, an unwarranted love of all things brown and foreign to keep importing into our tiny but once great nation until slowly, steadily, the people reached boiling point.
The sun has not set on the British Empire, not yet. It is but an eclipse, causing us to become weak and weary. As the fire scorge our nation and foreign invaders seed unrest, the sleeping lion will open his eyes and erupt with fury that has long since been dormant. Maybe we too will burn, but from the ashes of dissent, a phoenix will rise. The sun will shine again on a more united country, cold and angry.
