• THERE may be a moral crisis, but it’s not Thomas Carlyle in the Edinburgh Review (June 1829):

“The King has virtually abdicated; the Church is a widow,

“…public principle is gone; private honesty is going;

“society… is in fact falling to pieces; and a time of unmixed evil is come on us.”

Nah. For two millennia Britain has been a crucible for all races.
