1737 Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737, a landmark act of censorship of the British stage and one of the most determining factors in the development of Augustan drama. Passed two decades after the union. The terms of the Act were that from that point forward, the Lord Chamberlain had the power to approve any play before it was staged. The Licensing Act arose out of the political control of the House of Commons held by Robert Walpole. The period 1736–37 was the height of Walpole’s power as First Lord of the Treasury (or, as some termed him in a slightly derogatory manner, the “prime minister”), and Walpole was under incessant attack by the Tory satirists and the radical Whig theorists alike. Henry Fielding’s Tom Thumb (1730) and Covent Garden Tragedy (1732) took more specific aim at Walpole. Fielding’s publisher was Andrew Millar 6^th.

2016 Brexit. British Exit from the European Union. The Voting Areas are being prepared, with 32 in Scotland. the Brexit vote which is coming up Thursday.  This is a vote in Great Britain to exit the European Union.  And, folks, this thing is a microcosm for things happening in this country.  The people of Great Britain across party lines want out of the European Union, and the elites in Great Britain and the elites in the European Union do not.

The elites are the only ones doing well, both in individual countries and throughout the European Union as a whole.  The elites want it to remain as it is because it’s the a consolidation of power, and it is the delineation of borders.  It turns Europe into an amalgamated set of real estate. They’ve got borders, but they don’t really matter much to anything anymore.  You’re stripping away sovereignty; you’re stripping away national identity and languages and so forth, and all this is being done ostensibly to compete with the US economically.

But they haven’t the foggiest idea how to do it because they don’t have any capitalists anywhere to be found in the European Union to have any say-so or power whatsoever.  But what the real dividing line is in the Brexit vote in Great Britain and throughout the European Union, is exactly what it is here.  The people of Great Britain are sick and tired of illegal immigration.  They’re sick and tired… Well, over there it hasn’t been illegal.  They’re sick and tired of their culture being watered down and practically disappearing.
