I'm British and living in The Netherlands.

The British - like the Germans - are good at doing. They're going to have a really hard time for the next decade but they'll pull themselves out of the slump.

The Dutch - they are more "managerial", the culture involves spending a huge amount of time talking and very little doing. Our PM is a great example - he's an identikit guy in a suit, who ticks all of the boxes. Even as far as keeping the parts of his life which do not confirm to standard quiet. No vision, manages like a soft MBA, mediocre. Looks a saint compared to Johnson or Trump. The previous guy was the same.

Just compare our vaccination efforts to those of the UK or Germany. Miles behind. We're probably still discussing the ethical ramifications and impact of the human rights of the tiny subgroup of people who will reject the vaccination for hipster*/religious reasons

* Management culture, so you have an army of dummies who study something easy at university so they can get a career in middle management, drinking coffee and reading/sharing pseudo science on Facebook.
