Interestingly ill-informed, that is. He quotes an article which includes this gem:

"Like God, England is dead. And it is unlikely that there will be a
resurrection. The forces of liberalism and socialism are too strong."

Um, hello? Liberalism and socialism practically _define_ a large part of
English culture. As for the idiocy about multiculturalism destroying
"Britishness", again it's been a core part of the nation right
from the start - even the language is a mish-mash put together from the
native tongues of various invaders over the ages (which, incidentally is
why both language and culture are so successful).
