Well.... this is is certainly an excellent piece. We Brits (I'm a British Penguin) watch America with a sense of unease about the polarisation and the politics. Our island is much too small for this sort of huffing around and living somewhere else and we don't have a federal and states led way of life (well... we do... they're called Shires, but not in the same way and very much not the same thing).

Love finding this sort of quality writing on Medium off the beaten track a little. Remember to cite your pictures or the algorithm will tell you off. Great article, looking forward to reading more. :o)
