Gentle English - No More

Original posting, July 2006

In 1955 anthropologist Geoffrey Gorer wrote that "the English are certainly among the most peaceful, gentle, courteous and orderly populations that the world has ever seen."

Not now in 2006.

Why? It's illusory.

The true English may well be, but we are no longer the true English.
