The principal of my grade school, Mrs. S. was correct! She was maybe 4'8" and about 90# soaking wet but she was fierce. She gave the 4th grade class the speech each year.
Back in 1968, it was my turn to hear it. Mrs. S. told us that Britain was going to go the way of Russia and other countries in Europe might too. She blamed it on England implementing socialized medicine. She also said that we had to be careful that the US didn't go that way too.
Here we are in 2024 and you can get arrested in England for using the wrong pronouns and the leader of a media company is arrested when he lands in France.
