What I think we could do if we really wanted to, but this would require both a political and a cultural shift on a level that would be extremely significant, would be to recognize that over the 20th century, Britain went from being the center of Western civilization to being the provincial part of it. We're on the periphery now. The center of Western civilization after World War II
