Deploring change is the unchangeable habit of all Englishmen. If you find any important figures who really like change  such as Bernard Shaw  Keir Hardie  Lloyd George  Selfridge or Disraeli  you will find that they are not really English at all  but Irish  Scotch  Welsh  American or Jewish. Englishmen make changes  sometimes great changes. But  secretly or openly  they always deplore them.
