    Bit like the States in many respects, the UKicon. Every State and within its regions are very different, and you often think you are on a different planet sometimes, especially down deep south, in the States and the UK. Cornwall where I have lots of relations are very tribal and fight every inch for fishing rights and all matters the sea, and Northumbria/Wales/Scotland, so diverse, and the reason why I spend much of time these days travelling within the UK becuase, simply put, its so beautiful especially up in the mountains of Wales or Scotland.

    Using Pennysylvania as an example, go out of Philly into the countryside and especially into Amish country, and its so staggeringly beautiful, and the ice cream is to die for made at local farms.
    We know nothing until you visit the farms of these very able and friendly people, you do feel you are somewhere else. Settlers who made it home a few hundred years ago, and brought so much to the diversity of the U.S.iconA

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    So really the U.K was and is one of the oldest and most harmonious multi-ethnic states. It's always been my opinion that the push to break it up originates as much in Europe as anywhere else, where now of course smaller states are much more digestible than what amounts to an older and competitive model. Napoleon had exactly this in mind and I'm sure the idea is alive and well in some quarters. Ably assisted by dolts and traitors in the UKicon of course, who imagine we have moved onto some higher plane of human existence where realpolitik is no longer the determinant.

    Exactly what the Liberal government here in Canadaicon is attempting to do. White old stock Canadians are being marginalized, belittled, and demonized. Patriotism is derided as passe and a joke amongst the "intelligentsia". Illegal immigrants, mostly muslim, are being imported without being properly vetted, or educated as to Canadian values, culture, traditions, or proper civil deportment. All this in spite of the mountain of evidence showing the problems in attempting to integrate hard-core muslims into a civilized western democracy.

    A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city.
    But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
    For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
    He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero to the Senate, about 42 B.C., as recorded by Gaius Sallustius Crispus.

    It is said that power moves westward around the globe. In five years there will be more Christians in China than the USAicon. Imperial authority in China was traditionally called "the Mandate of Heaven" and when a regime was seen to have failed morally, it was said that the Mandate had passed to others. It is hard not to see the parallels with the West, which rose on Christian morality and falls without it. The signs are everywhere for those willing to face them.

    I suspect that even the most enthusiastic accounts err on the downside, and that Christianity will have become a Sino-centric religion two generations from now. China may be for the 21st century what Europe was during the 8th-11th centuries, and America has been during the past 200 years: the natural ground for mass evangelization. If this occurs, the world will change beyond our capacity to recognize it...
