Methinks it's headed the same way as Maggie's Poll Tax, only sooner.
The tenents of classic liberalism still survive (just) in England. Nearly fell out of bed when the Chancellor quoted Burke in her Liverpool speech

Cornish pasties are serious business! |
Unlike the EU the UK does not enforce such restrictions on countries with which it has a bi-lateral FTA.
In Sydney 'The Kentish Chef' cafe features Cornish pasties, pork pies and such.
When I first saw the cafe (it's only been open a few months, and it's nearby) I immediately thought "Aaah, Kentish Town - Starmer's borough", it's north of the river in Middlesex.
"Kentish" derives from "Caen Ditch" a drain that runs through the area, nothing to do with the county of Kent and nowhere near the counties of Cornwall, or Leicestershire the home of the pork pie (Melton Mowbray).
Sir Keir Starmer is not the most famous person to have lived in Kentish Town — Karl Marx lived there, he's buried nearby at Highgate Cemetery.
