So this is how Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism ends

Only New Zealand is left standing. US, Canada, Australia, UK all reduced to a signature style of end-of-history farce

Good time to re-up this old essay by on how every nation has an exceptionalism narrative. I’ve never seen anything written about Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism within the West though. But clearly it exists, and is dying with Truss’ career.

It would be really funny if Queen Elizabeth 2 was somehow keeping the Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism narrative propped up all these years. Certainly she was the best known monarch globally by a wide margin.

Would this happen in UK, part 1: Wellington pub, at the next table was the PM, having a quiet drink with pals. No-one pestered her. Mostly pretended not even to notice.
Would this happen in UK, part 2: we made that one PM last us all evening...
