Understanding the United States of America







When I was in New York a few years ago a fellow blogger said to me something along these lines:
"When Europeans visit the United States they usually come to New York or California, which are liberal, cosmopolitan places very like Europe. 
"But the rest of the country - what me are not meant to call 'the flyover states' - is not like that."
This week's events have borne out the wisdom of those words.

  1. Americans who visit London and Oxford would equally find the drive through counties of the Midlands , Yorkshire and the North East on their way to Edinburgh not quite the same as we have found out.
