That's what the UK is turning into. I'm not talking about their 'feelings' on gun control. Or their 'feelings' on the free market system, or the free movement of their citizens, or becoming an EU member.
"LONDON (Reuters) - Criminals could avoid being taken to court if they agree to apologize personally to their victims, under plans outlined by the UK government Tuesday."
I can just picture the little gang members over there.
"Go a-ed an kipe it mate. If ya git cott, you jus' 'ave to 'pologize"
Oh yeah, that's a winner of an idea. But, of course over there, it's all about 'feelings'.

I won't be terribly sorry if he goes, as long as his replacement is a tory. British conservatives are not exactly like us, but much closer than labour. We can deal with them.
This tightrope that Blair walks of embracing America and the EU is what's going to break him in the end. I really am greatfull for his support so far, but he never really managed to kill off the anti-American half of his party. If he survives this current crisis, it'll be because he reached common cause with the tories, the hard left is as much his enemy now as it is ours.
