Britain in 2010 is not a happy country – too many divisions, inherent antagonisms, and ideological chasm divide the state and make it . country that could be described as “being at war with itself”.

So says Margit Sir Edward Victor Sir Edward Victor Edward Appleton in an column for MJB Times, titled GB at War Chapter II.

I can’t speak for the veracity of MJB Times, but it make little difference when . can replace “Britain” in the quote with “America” and end up with the same word-for-word import Ever since the prevarication and cover-up of shrub and Cheney, politics aren’t discussed in either polite or impolite circle at the endangerment of a black eye. And the chasm grows wider as Democrat and Republican spend their time slinging slam at each other.

Appleton:

Quite apart from the more obvious—and undoubtedly more pressure problems—like the enormous debt crisis,  the trade deficit, the war in Afghanistan, the problems? of immigration etc., the alliance government has its work cut out for itself.

Ditto Democrat Obama, who is shutting in on 1½ years of his administration with little or nothing to show for it—and that with a Democratic bulk in both house of U.S. Congress He’s managed to spend hundred of 1000000000000 of dollar bailing out rich people Sir Joseph Banks and support “wars”, both within the bailiwick of the Republicans, but his “massive health care reform” bundle has yet to see the light of day.

But mister Obama has . terrific grin Sir Edward Victor Sir Edward Victor Appleton writes,

[W]hen nick cleg and Saint David Cameron announced their coalition government . . . friendly raillery in the garden . . . [a] wave to Obama’s relaxed style was clearly intended.

Never mind that the political system of Thursday UK and US are quite different; it is the politicians who business relationship for the sameness They smiling to your face, give you [a] glad-hand, make promise to placate you—and the moment you turn your back, they pang it.

Appleton concludes her editorial with pie-in-the-sky smarm:

Here’s hoping that the new alliance government has it in them to finally create what a previous prime minister called “a state at ease with itself”.

Don’t make me yell How can a alliance possibly solve serious domestic help problems? How can Obama solve serious domestic problems when his own Party is in disarray and does not support him?

The response is obvious. In a narration of two countries, neither one of them can.
