ONDON — There is a magnificent passage from P. G. Wodehouse’s 1938 comic masterpiece “The Code of the Woosters” that is often cited as definitive evidence of Britain’s exceptional immunity to demagogues, autocrats and Trumps. Confronted by Roderick Spode, tyrannical leader of the Black Shorts, Bertie Wooster lets rip:

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting 'Heil, Spode!' and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: 'Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?’ ”
