"in summary, because I prefer to live in England..."

Just like Dick Miles prefers to live in Ireland. And I prefer to live in England. Hurrah.

So let's just agree to let other people do what makes them happy, and we'll do what makes us happy, and there needn't be any more manifestos about the way forward for humanity. It's called "live and let live." Make up whatever idiosyncratic cod-English rules for yourself that you want to. Take, or leave, the many lessons which have been offered you here in good faith. Whatever. Just stop telling others what they ought to be doing. Because it's when you start judging the choices that others make that they start judging you back. And from what I've seen, you don't really take criticism all that well.
