When you write that the neo-liberal Washington consensus was accepted with alacrity by the English ruling elite, I think you're partly right, but you don't go far enough. You ought to have found a way of saying that the Scottish ruling elite, which has worked in tandem with the English ruling elite for over 300 years, did so with equal alacrity. And the easy way to say all that is simply to talk of the British ruling elite. You might also encourage a more accurate view of the situation were you to also include the fact that a great many of England's inhabitants stand quite a bit to the left of David Cameron's government. I am, by the way, from Scotland.
I was taught in school that "1 degree C" is a specific temperature and that the correct way to refer to an increase in temperature by 1 degree is to say "1 C degree." Was I mistaught? Or am I just old-fashioned?
One side benefit may well be that it seems to be causing Trump to reconsider his plans to destroy a sensitive coastal environment by building golf courses and hotels catering to the 1%. On the other hand, he may be using the wind turbines, which he claims will spoil the view from his projected development, as a cover for his need to withdraw from the project for financial reasons. Too bad the Scottish government and the authorities in Aberdeenshire didn't take note at the very outset of Trump's propensity to bite off more than he can chew--those who sought to oppose him might still hold the offices from which the money-hungry politicians drove them.
