I recall in "Life of Python" -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_Python -- one of the Monty Python team, I think it was Eric Idle, said, "Authority in England is this great looming nonsense, and you're not allowed to laugh at it, except quietly among yourselves." He gave the impression that this is something that needs explaining to Americans.

Britain has long been considered the most libertarian country in Europe -- if the above is true, what does it say about the Continent?!
