Perfect analogy. For one country to be able to enforce its laws on citizens of another country is incredibly stupid.

Of course, my spidey sense (or what my wife would call my tin hat receptor) is telling me that it's a great step towards globalization, making one set of laws apply to everyone in the world.

Ok... If people in Afghanistan an see a photo of your daughter showing her midriff they're going to snatch her up over here, ship her there, put her in a hole and kill her with rocks. Why not? Same logic. Who's to say WHICH nation's laws apply here if England's applies here? This is stupid as anything I've seen for many months. This is even dumber than calling gun confiscation a "buy back".

You raise some really interesting questions: Why do countries and empires rise and why do they fall? Isabel Patterson wrote in The God of the Machine; “There are as many explanations of the dominance and decline of nations as there are examples…”

If she is correct (I think she is), then trying to apply some universally acceptable generalities to today’s UK would be a mistake. It may well be that a laundry list of reasons that, like water waves, interact to grow to a tidal wave and wash away the old and open the way for the new – be that better or worse than the present system.

I’m sure that one situation is true; that when the people in Government start thinking of themselves as different or better than the citizenry as a whole, the foundations of society and governing system begin to crumble.

No doubt!

I like rainman0720's attitude, I also have to many relationships to be the test. There must be a social influencer that is willing to be the test case. After all they live and die by the followers numbers.

Be ccareful...that could be construed as promoting violence!!!

We did, then came Bretton Woods when we gave it all back to them.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

How in God's name did UK country ever rule waves?
Ever hold a world-wide empire.
Win two world wars?
Why is this country bending a knee to these peckers?
I don't mean the good people of the UK, the honest salt-of-the-earth folks, but their rotten-to-the-core government.
I heard the bassturds are telling the press AND social media, not to allow any images of the riots over there to be posted on-line.
Their country is going up in flames in these riots, and the last thing the gobbernment wants is the world to know the truth.
The UK as a unified thing is done, stick it with a fork done.
The real people of the UK have had it up to their back teeth with the sedition going on in their POS government and they are now, finally showing it.

Our current administration, if they cared about this country surviving at all, would ban travel to England and tell the dishonorable Commish Rowley where his decree should go. Instead, the cowardly bunch is probably jumping for joy that the Brits are willing to do some dirty work for them. It's sickening, but if England's people don't rise in anger, I can't complain. Our people outside the Gulch are just as myopic and wimpy. Go Galt, Go Gray, Go Underground.

So anyone traveling to England should be concerned that, as they get off the plane, that some jack-booted equivalent of a UK TSA will have some AI program go through your social media posts, and say "hey, we don't need to go through an extradition process, we'll just arrest this person on the spot!"
Time to boycott travel to England.

I think the US Government should issue a travel warning for those going to England.

Me dino can't wait for globalism to take over the whole wide world like those people who are better than most of us wants.
Why? I've never seen Europe. Not even China. Hope I can ask for a jail cell with a view.

Now they know why we have a 2nd Amendment.

in Hell
the english are the cooks
the french organize it
the germans provide the entertainment

ih Heaven
the french cook
the english provide the entertainment
the germans run it

i believe this cam from the Late/Great Dave Allen on his TV show many years ago

just stay out of the whole of Europe

apparently they need another lesson
maybe the Germans can get uppity again and we'll stay home

That's insane

Didn't we settle this crap with England about 250 years ago? Just figuring.

I might've been tempted 25 years ago if the pound had been about 0.60USD.
Royalty and its parasitic fallout have never been an attraction for me, in the UK or D.C.
Wine tasting and French cuisine in France is more attractive than hitting pubs and eating meat pies in England.
I wouldn't mind tasting single malts in Scotland though. ;^)

Didn't Ayn Rand write a book called Anthem about this? A summary;

You're right. It never stops, and the left never stops. The more this culture war goes on, I think their bottom line is to simply wear us down until we quit. For some of us, that ain't never gonna happen. But for far too many, I fear it will.

I like it. And I agree; if I had a European vacation in the works, I would probably strongly reconsider eliminating any UK destinations and go somewhere else.

I think my father must have been anti racial prejudice at a very early age. He was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy during WW2. When he deployed from San Francisco bound for Houston, Texas at the end of the fighting he was told he must take a train car full of GI's back to Texas. He realized when they crossed the Mason--Dixon Line he would have to segregate men who had been fighting together, sleeping beside each other and eating together. He quickly visited the Carpenters' Local Union in California and informed them he needed a confirmation from them that he had a job offering in San Francisco, this eliminated him from being chosen to do this distasteful order to be in charge of such a detail. He paid his own way back to Texas. Later in years he was hired as the General Contractor to build two Holiday Inns to open simultaneously in a certain American city for an event they held each year. He noticed his men were dragging the work so to prove it to himself he went out on a Sunday to the site and hung 26 doors timing himself. On Monday he was cited to appear before the Union and they informed him he was going to be fined $1500 for working with his tools. He explained his reasoning and informed them he would hire workers who were red or yellow, black or white, but they didn't have to drag his finish date. He would have future work for them. The Union said they were still going to fine him. He said 'okay I'll shut down the job and throw 400 men out of a job in your city for two weeks.' They said he couldn't do that. He gave them the phone number of the construction company he was the GC for and see if they would agree he could do that. Daddy won! nancy benefield

England is just about already dead
by suicide, by islam

It never stops. Thinkers think and Dictators call it a crime. Here is Elihu Palmer in 1801

"…The strength of human understanding is incalculable, its keenness of discernment would ultimately penetrate into every part of nature, were it permitted to operate with uncontrouled and unqualified freedom. It is because this sublime principle of man has been the object of the most scurrilous, and the most detestable invective from superstition, that his moral existence has been buried in the gulph of ignorance, and his intellectual powers tarnished by the ferocious and impure hand of fanaticism. Although we are made capable of sublime reflections, it has hitherto been deemed a crime to think, and a still greater crime to speak our thoughts after they have been conceived…"

Principles of Nature: or a Development of the Moral Causes of Happiness and Misery among the Human Species

New York, 1801

Turnabout is fair, but unconstitutional here.
Instead make travel to the UK by Americans illegal.
"This action by the UK will reduce the tourism in the UK by Americans to near zero. Go ahead morons, destroy your own economy."
But the con-gress won't do anything except possibly to extradite Americans if they support free speech.
