Did you fight the Britons with a mass?

Corbyn s election underscores how many Britons are refusing to accept reality.

Another national of the Netherlands, four Britons, one German and a number of Indonesians were also taken.

Haifa Americans speak of Middle America and Britons of Middle England. Both are near mythic places that supposedly embody the authentic character of the nation. Israel, too, has its Middle Israel, but it is very different from the place that Americans and Britons describe.

Labour denies it is devising a plan for Britons to work a four day week but be paid for five days

Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is to consider a radical plan which will see Britons working a four day week but getting paid for five.

In the United Kingdom, the government has had the legal authority to revoke naturalized Britons citizenship since 1918. But, until the terrorist bombings on the London transport system in 2005, this power was rarely exercised.

Finally, as far as policy is concerned, we Britons have deluded ourselves to think that our system of government increasingly shown to be unrepresentative, inefficient, and over centralized could survive with a little tinkering here and there.

Look at the growing number of prominent citizens of Turkish origin in Germany. Consider the many second generation Indian and Pakistani Britons who are now seen in business suits carrying laptop computers and flying around the world.

Indeed, at the seminar, European economists and journalists especially the Germans, and even some of the Britons in the room adopted a dismissive tone. Monetary policy's power is limited, particularly when the interest rate is so low, some said.

LONDON Other people s elections are usually baffling and boring, which is certainly true of the United Kingdom s coming vote on May 7 indeed, many Britons share the sentiment. The longest election campaign in UK history has been strikingly short of focus.

Although most of our forces were recalled in 1942 to face a new, direct threat to our own shores, many remained, serving alongside Britons, Poles, Canadians, South Africans and people of many other nationalities until peace in Europe was finally declared.

As islanders, Britons and Japanese have had wary relations with and often a superiority complex toward their great continental neighbors, Europe and China, respectively. Both historically compensated for their isolation with strong central governments, powerful navies, dynamic entrepreneurship, vibrant culture, and imperial ambition.

Three generations after West Indians began immigrating en masse to the United Kingdom, Caribbean descended Britons still doubt that their children or grandchildren will ever be seen as fully British. Turkish Gastarbeiter are still, two generations later, not seen as fully German.

LONDON In the United States, for people of a certain age, Margaret Thatcher was a superstar, and Americans have been surprised at the sharply divided views on display in the Britain that she governed for 11 years. But Britons were not astonished.

Addressing the challenges that we Britons face will first require acknowledging our limited control over their root causes. The country is in desperate need of leadership with the courage to be candid with voters, by explaining to them clearly and soberly that the UK can no longer solve its problems alone.

Polls suggest that Britain s referendum on continued EU membership, which Cameron has promised to hold by the end of 2017, will be a close call. But it would be both a blunder and a tragedy were Britons to vote for Brexit as a form of protection against tumult on the continent.

(Since the start of the year, more than 40 Britons have been arrested on suspicion of engaging in military activities in Syria.) The House of Commons passed the legislation in January, but in April the House of Lords voted to send it to a joint parliamentary committee for additional scrutiny.

For Britons, this idea stirs sentiments akin to what Germans might feel if the EU proposed a new tax on liverwurst, with the proceeds to go into the central pot. They also point out that, unless an FTT were agreed globally, financial companies would quickly migrate from London to New York.

Much as they may have admired her, most Britons were never convinced that the Thatcher way was the only way. Although she won three consecutive elections, the Conservatives never polled more than 43 of the popular vote, well below the levels achieved by Conservative leaders Churchill, Anthony Eden, and Macmillan in the 1950 s.

Meanwhile, with the EU increasingly viewed as a source of economic crisis, political turmoil, and unwanted migrants, the risk that Britons will vote to leave in a referendum due before the end of 2017 is rising. Britain is already semi detached outside of Schengen and with opt outs from the euro and many home affairs matters (including asylum policy).

The biggest idea was that Britain s monarchy serves to connect the country s past to its future in ways that transcend the pettiness and ugliness of quotidian politics. The heritage of kings and queens stretching back across more than a millennium the enduring symbolism of crowns and coaches, and the literal embodiment of the English and now the British state binds Britons together in a common journey.

Unleashed from the rule of Brussels, the sirens of Brexit promise, Britain would once again be a beacon of freedom in the world, respected by China, tied to the United States in the bilateral special relationship, and all the while retaining friendly commercial ties with the European continent. Business would boom, the City of London would prosper, and Britons never would be slaves, not of the EU or anyone else.

But, again and again, by showing up for Elton John and not just for the ballet, or by taking her sons away from the hunting preserve of Balmoral to careen down a waterslide at a tacky amusement park, she told ordinary Britons that their world was as important as any other. She told them that she wanted to know them, and that she wanted her sons to know them, too.

Britons, as Osborne knows, are willing to lend to their government on an enormous scale and on terms that are more generous than those on offer from the IMF. And, if one is worried that the British people might change their minds, well, the princes of Wall Street or the barons of Canary Wharf or US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner would certainly be willing to sell derivatives contracts to protect Britain against exchange rate risk for the next several years.
