Freedom? Why Europe’s not bothered, By Janet Daley

I won’t excerpt it, because the whole thing is quotable, and that would be a bit excessive, I think. It makes a good point about 18th century idealism being exported to the Far Abroad where it was protected from Europe and flourished, while in Europe it got stomped on and so on. Very good.

It reminds me of something else along these lines, but I’ll have to look for that later. Watch this space, I suppose.
