Thoughtful as intended, though Ed 'Ancestral Marxist' Milliband's handshake puts some responsive limpness in prospect. But 'opportunism' is not in itself more than an accusation.
Often those people who call certain rightwing policies "yank-brained nonsense" are completely uncritical about American influence on the left. So I'm skeptical that their anti-Americanism is motivated by British nationalism.
Farage and Reform represent subservience to a foreign power and can hardly be called British nationalists.
There are faint, overdue signs of life among the less compliant parts of the UK political class, but a seventy-year habit of submission to American interests doesn’t disappear overnight. Probably truer to say that, as things stand, no one is a British nationalist.
Interesting read. "We remain capable of achieving great things, but not of imagining them." - that's a line that sticks.
