I find the opposite, a few biased ones and a decent number of independent thinkers.

Are you implying I'm not actually a brit but faking one? Londoner, mate, sarf lahndan, though not born & bred.

When abroad one will identify onesself appropriately, I am 'abroad' on a US website where my nationality mattered WRT my comment, I don't know what you expect me to say.
