The historical tragedy is ...I hear you, Mr. Harvey. The historical tragedy is that we had to choose at all between being British and being American. Had all the American colonies remained loyal, not just the Canadian ones, it is enjoyable to contemplate the "what ifs". <br /><br />No revolution, no war of 1812, no great war would have ensued if the British Empire was twice the power it already was. Demographics and the tide of power from Britain to America would have sooner or later necessitated a permanent move by the Royals to encastle in North America. And the world would have been made safe for monarchy!Beaverbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957034620891207177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-48301407154029907122009-09-25T01:30:49.756+01:002009-09-25T01:30:49.756+01:00I wouldn't worry about him.

As an unreconstructed Tory who despises the American Founding as Treason, I don't feel that I have anything important with Hannan at all. He should be American and I should be British.Theodore Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242452485576182841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-62290978220018423782009-09-24T18:25:33.379+01:002009-09-24T18:25:33.379+01:00"Politicians prefer the corruption of Walpole..."Politicians prefer the corruption of Walpole over the patriotism of Bolingbroke".<br /><br />Yep, that about summarizes it.
