I’m not going to fisk this editorial in the Washington Post, critiquing recent actions by British National Health. Actually, I agree with some of their points.
My point in calling attention to it is to ask can you imagine the editors writing this two years ago? I can’t. It’s a remarkable change of voice on their part. Is their explicit criticism of U. S. progressives a first for the WaPo editorial page?
I’m reminded of one of Samuel Johnson’s witticisms:
Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.
