Stop The ACLU has a great article posted about Of Class Division in Europe. This is what the left so deeply want's to import to the US. Seems to me after reading it you'll see this is exactly what our founding fathers came here to leave behind.
Hate-speech against Australians?
Stop The ACLU: "With separate parliaments recently established in Scotland and Wales and a separate English parliament under discussion, Britain is the disunited kingdom. Part of the reason for that is that Brits look down on one-another at a great rate — for reasons of social class and according to where they live — both of which are usually indexed by accent. Anybody who lives North of Watford, for instance, is regarded as a semi-barbarian by most of those who live in the South-East. And to most of the English, the Scots are simply hilarious! And the Welsh are good only for singing, of course. G.B. Shaw (who was an Irishman) summed it up well with his famous saying that: “No Englishman can open his mouth without causing another Englishman to despise him”.
Such unhappy people do, of course, also sometimes take it out on people from overseas and Australians are often recipients of some such animus. On the whole, however, Australians are much better accepted in Britain than are other Englishmen! I once had an upper-class girlfriend in London, for instance, who was quite ready to marry me but who would NEVER have married a Cockney (working-class Londoner)!"
