	Britain has been going doewn the tubes since the Atlee
government. Socialism is a great leveller, It brings everything
down a level or two.

couple of years.

	Yup, the Barbarians are at the gate.

	Much of the UK irony being, the immigrants come from
countries that wanted the Brits out of their home land - Feelthy
Steenking Imperialists. So, the Brits leave, things get really
corrupt and really bad, so the locals up stakes and head off to
the home of the Imperialists.
