A saying popular in America is "I love my country, but I fear my government."

To me, and a large number of other Americans, especially of the Conservative variety, our government and our country our different. The country is the land, and the people. The government is this leviathan that is trying to choke all of us to death.

All the problems which you mentioned are also present in Britain, except, you don't have as much land space. Well, realize something. The groups of people against the NAU in America are all over the place, and widely ranging in age, demographics, etc.

And, there is an advantage in the lack of traditions, and national beliefs. America is many nations morphed into one. It is Europe's refugees with a spattering of Indians (our Indians, not the subcontinentals), and Blacks. Because of this, we don't see our government as an extended family. And, we don't have loyalty to them because we are the same ethnicity.

And, we fought a bloody revolution against a government that, at the time, was ethnically the same, troops, who were ethnically similar. But, when it came down to getting it done, we did it. And we can do it again. We'd just prefer to not have to actually fight a bloody revolt. Political activism is the prefered method.

You say these things, but I really wonder, is it true? Is not the fact that Britain is a relatively ethnically homogenous place a bad thing? You would know more than I.

But, whatever happens, learn the following lessons.

#1.) Blood is NOT thicker than water. If the political works, don't place nice. These people whatever their ethnic origins are about power over you. If the day should come G-d forbid, and you have to take 'em out. Do it.

#2.) England is an island off the coast of Europe. Never forget it. England is not Parliament, Prime Ministers, etc. It is the island, and those that have the concept of England (culturally) in their hearts. Never allow the government to take the place of the land, and your inner-beliefs or co-opt them.

Basically, all I'm trying to say is you must cultivate the concept that you love your country and fear your government. If you can do this, you may not only survive, but thrive.
