#1 British culture & society has been rotting for decades. Starting to smell pretty bad now.

#2 Steyn is wrong.

Soft Euro style socialism does work in homogenous cohesive societies. The Swedes amongst others proved this.

The problem is that immigration and multiculturalism fragments society. Such that socialism and soft policing no longer works.

With the debt problems and austerity I see this problem only getting worse.

#3 For all you know the Swedes just never did it long enough to burn through all their social capital from before the welfare state. Also, I suspect WW1 and 2 both burned through a lot of the UK's social capital even before that.
