Even British Newspapers Admit England Hasn't Changed In The Past 200 Years

06.23.2009 - Binge-drinking kids, a banking scandal, corrupt MPs, violent crime and a controversial overseas war. Is this Broken Britain today? No, the 19th Century

The Sun published a shocking exposé in today's edition regarding England's troubles. In it, they compared newspaper headlines from the 19th century to today's headlines. What they found was that 19th century Britain was rife with boozing children, brutal violence, and corrupt politicians—just like it is today!

There was a Prime Minister who handed jobs to his family—like Gordon Brown did with his brother—and even banking scandals. The Sun's exposé truly is shocking. Well, it's not shocking because England hasn't changed since the 19th century—everyone knows that—it's shocking because it has taken this long for any Briton to realize it. We've been saying that England still longs for its lost imperial days for quite some time now. Oh well, better late than never, we suppose.

The Sun suggests that "if you are livid about MPs' expenses or infuriated with the greedy bankers, have a look at the papers in this archive. It might cheer you up." We guess that nothing is more cheerful than realizing your country hasn't progressed a single bit in over 200 years.
