Why do the useful idiots at the New York Times keep putting the boot into Brexit Britain when it's America that's a crime-ravaged basket case being torn apart by wokery?

 

Ever since Britain had the temerity to vote for Brexit six years ago, The New York Times, America's most prestigious newspaper, has had it in for us.

 

Numerous articles — many given front-page billing — regularly depict Britain as a plague-ridden, poverty-stricken hellhole in terminal decline. Sometimes the abuse is so over the top that the only sensible response is to laugh out loud. 

 

For example, according to the paper, it's only recently that we stopped existing almost entirely on a diet of 'legs of mutton' and 'bowls of porridge'. Apparently, we still huddle round bin fires to keep warm in winter. And during the summer of 2020 it reported we spent the brief heatwave 'cavorting' in 'swamps'.

 

The political analysis is often even more hilarious. Six months ago we were assured that Boris Johnson's Britain was 'sleepwalking into tyranny'. We already know that wasn't the most perspicacious of predictions.

If Johnson had tyrannical ambitions, he wouldn't be packing his bags to vacate 10 Downing Street next month merely because Tory MPs had forced him out. It never occurred to the great minds at The New York Times, who take themselves oh-so-seriously, that Johnson's rule was always far more likely to end in farce than fascism.

 

The New York Times is America's paper of record. It has long burst the boundaries of its home in the Big Apple. It is now a national newspaper with a global reach through its booming digital edition.

 

All the greater pity, given its influence in the U.S. and on the world stage, that when it comes to Britain you can't trust a word it says.

 

The Old Grey Lady, as the paper is nicknamed because of its dreary layout and headlines, is about as reliable on Britain as its coverage of Stalin's Russia in the 1930s, when its Moscow correspondent regularly insisted no one was short of food in Ukraine, only for less biddable journalists, including a number from Britain, to discover that Stalin was intentionally starving around 5 million Ukrainian peasants to death.

 

 

 As to social fragmentation, America also has a lot more to worry about than Britain. The country is in the grip of a new and ferocious crime wave, with murder and violent attacks soaring these past two years
