The end of Old Britain

Katie Grant, yes the one who thinks the English are unattractively soft, yobbish, aggressive and insufferably arrogant laments the passing of Old Britain:

As traditional hunting dies, so, too, dies this valuing of experience and observation, and a mortal blow is dealt to the natural British sense that tradition and history are not just for theme parks. The hunting ban is the final act in a flurry of destruction by the gleeful institution wreckers, constitutional vandals, tradition-haters and petty, jeering class-warriors who constitute the cutting edge of Blairism.

Killing hunting marks an important victory for them, not because it will save any foxes (it won’t) but because it signals to Old Britons that they are finally finished.
