Australians speak the King's English, unlike Americans who speak a form of pidgin because most early settlers were convicts.

The US is more advanced than most countries on one measurement: defunding public education. The Republicans have learned that educated people tend to be progressive and, therefore, vote against them. Their response has been to make everyone educated to the level of stupid. Using funds to protect children rather than educate them aids their ambitions.

This is how Thatcher and Reagan smashed the unions and the middle classes so that they could claim trickle-down economics was a thing. The start of the self-destruction of the Tories and the Republican parties. They also enabled the crazy Dump mob.

Before claiming to be superior to anyone it's a good idea to check your English is at least at the level of a 12 y.o. Sensor?. Censor!!

@Clive I am 89 and can't even imagine what it is like to be as old as you.

Patronising or not they do seem to have the high moral ground.
