Nice poll figures from the Brits, Iain, but makes no dofference in the long

run. As I keep pointing out, people gave the same plucky, defiant responses

to IRA bombings, but Blair sold out to the swine at last, anyway.

So far as rising hostility to Islam is concerned, that will make even less

difference. Britain’s commercial and intellectual elites, like our, want

multi-culti, and nothing as trivial as public opinion is going to stand in

their way. For more on this, see John O’Sullivan’s fine piece about the

Dutch in our current NRODT.

And hatred of America must be rampant over there. I spoke on the phone to

my niece this morning, a bright, sweet, late-thirtysomething English lass,

married with 4 kids, lives in London. She is sensible and well-read, by no

means a Trot. We exchanged some mundane remarks about the bombing. Then

suddenly she let fly with: “If only your people weren’t so crazy!” We’d

mostly been talking family, so for a disjointed minute I thought she meant

my wife and kids. Crazy? Whuh? Well, we may be a little eccentric, but…

“Invading other people’s countreis! Bombing them! It doesn’t help at all,

you know…”

No, I won’t be cheered up. Thins will get much, much worse before they get

any better. Hardly anybody on our side has a clue how to play this game.
