Another blow for the Anglosphere?

With the departure of Lord Black as the Telegraph's proprieter (and feudal lord) this column has been predicting that the Anglosphere boosters will either be trimming their cloth (if they're British) or quietly being squeezed out (if they're not). One of the best transatlantic columnists, Mark Steyn has been dropped from the Telegraph, in his words:

Today, for the first time in all my years with the Telegraph Group, I had a column pulled. The editor expressed concerns about certain passages and we were unable to reach agreement, so on this Tuesday something else will be in my space.

The slow reclaiming of British Conservatism is happening, no matter how we may complain about the speed.
