Too bad …

… Theodore Dalrymple: The Ugly Brutishness of Modern Britain - WSJ.com. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… it is hardly surprising that, according to a survey recently conducted by Lloyds Bank, a fifth of all people with assets of more than $640,000 are thinking of leaving the country. Personally I am surprised it is so few. Other surveys have shown that at least 50% of the population wants to leave, in the main to flee the other 50% of the population.

Well, the Brits we saw visiting Dublin Dublin a few years back were hardly advertisements for civility. But rudeness — and worse, much worse — can be found everywhere these days. A neighbor of ours was just attacked down the street from hear a few nights ago. Even I am wary now of walking the streets late at night.
