I hope you apply as critical a reflection to your own country, wherever it is, as you do Britain. I'd be curious to know why you think the general British populace is so self-revelatory - did you or do you now live here? Was that your experience? I'm sorry if so. It is not mine.

Honestly, the only historical self-congratulation I've ever much seen outside of morons in Brits is to do with scientific, cultural or social progress. I don't think most of us have much of hard-on for militaristic events that happened over a hundred years ago.

And, let it be said, as much as her excesses were, Britain's were not unique in the world. Every cunt plays their game. At least we have some small positives added.
