“England has collapsed politically, monetarily, constitutionally and economically” is how Dutch prime minister Marke Rutte put it this week. RelatedIt’s one thing to have a prime minister appear as a character in a comic book. He was trying to give some support to his friend, David Cameron, the British prime minister, who announced his resignation after Britons decided to pull the pin on the European Union. They are united only by their “anti-interventionist” indifference to Syrian suffering and their contempt for the EU mandarins in Brussels. It’s never exactly gracious to reflect upon one’s good fortune by noticing the calamitous ill luck endured by just about everybody else.
