The New York Times does it again

Let me tell you a story, dear reader. It is about a land – a quasi-dictatorial kingdom no less – where locals huddle round bin fires on the streets of the great metropolis, gnawing on legs of mutton and cavorting in swamps. Once there was good government, but a plebiscite some years ago brought with it autocracy, plague and a nation ‘falling apart at the seams.’

Which land could this be? Why it can only be our dear old United Kingdom, as seen through the eyes of the average New York Times subscriber. For years now Mr S has been chronicling the Brit-bashing excesses of America’s least reliable news source. Whether it’s peddling dubious clickbait about our vaccine regime or comparing everything to Brexit, there are few articles that the NYT won’t run to please its audience of superior Yanks and self-flagellating Brits.
