England is in crisis - Christine Constable (EDP) visits the USA

Christine Constable (EDP) tells it like it is to our friends over the pond:

"England is in crisis and America needs to know what’s going on to their good friend across the pond..."

She's just come back from a week long flying tour of the states, lecturing in Universities, speaking on the radio, writing in the papers:

The openness of the press was a refreshing change. OK the quality and the adverts was a pain, but in terms of providing opportunities to speak I found the Americans open, interested and not shy of letting me use the media

The reaction she received was from a public shocked at what is happening:

Members of the public who phoned in were equally shocked about what they heard, and there was a real feeling of pain and sadness that England might, in the not too distant future pass into history. The most poignant aspect was America's disbelief that we could let this happen without even a vote - but this is modern day democracy in England - it does not exist.

Her visit report is available in full on the CoSG forums.
