As an American living and working in the U.K., it has been a confused state of ideological affairs. Listening to my British friends and cohorts here (mainly 25-45 yr olds), there is a strong, almost Thatcher-ite pull ot the right again (anti-immgiration, questions of British-ness, anti-Americanism: and this is in a university town!). But in the light of the Labour Party's (Brown/Blair) historical kowtow to Bush/Cheney prosecution of the Iraq war and related GWOT (or whatever they are calling it now), this isn't as worrisome as it may seem at first blush. The push back, from the right, is also remarkable given that the UK has been attached since 9/11 (7/7/05).
