By only following British politics from a sofa on an IPad, I was caught off guard today watching Theresa May’s exit speech (half-ass pun).
The prime minister teared up as she finished her speech…I also teared up as she said…”the country I love”…
Does this kind of ‘contagious semi-weeping’ come from a sense that I believe her and I too love my country but wonder if our leader can honestly say that?
Or ..is it being unfair to think that my love for my country is somehow more ‘real’ than of those folks following a more conservative, isolationist path?
