What a marvelous turn of phrase!

I'll admit it. Like many Americans, I seem to be a sucker for an English talker. Maybe it's residual American inferiority, maybe it's that the British really do have better rhetoric---oh, for a Question Time here in America! Whee doggies!

The English talker for whom I am a sucker at the moment is Peter Hitchens, elder brother to Christopher, and in many ways his "evil twin brother." (Or at least mirror image.)

Peter Hitchens blogs at the Mail Online. In his weekly column, he comments on Lady Margaret Thatcher thus:

Margaret Thatcher wasn’t much of a conservative, despite her rhetoric, which is why she helped destroy many of the best things about Britain, turning it into the EU-ruled, comprehensive-schooled, morality-free, car-infested, Sunday-trading Tescoland it has become.

What a simply marvelous turn of phrase!
