I was hoping to come up with an objection while banging on my desk, Your Honor. ...I didn't.
I'm in britain right now, and goddamnit do i hate the newspapers here! It's the worst yellow journalism i have ever seen. "Immigrants abusing welfare", "fat people costing the NHS money". It's always a mixture of rasism, sexism, classisim and downright hatred for other human beings.

Also the language sounds childish. Bum, tummy, tely etc. gently caress you

We British have like really really bad judgement, for example:

- The creation of Israel
- The creation of Northern Ireland
- The creation of Pakistan
- Overthrowing Iran's only ever moderate and democratic government
- Supporting and expanding the slave trade
- Fire bombing the city of Dresden into oblivion
- Peter Molyneux

And worst of all

- The creation of the US

Britain is the Japan of Europe - we're a large archipelago with a weird insular culture, we don't like to talk about the hosed up poo poo we did when we ruled an empire, we drink a lot of tea, we have a restrictive oppressive social structure, everyone is super passive aggressive and never say what they mean, the rest of the world is inexplicably obsessed with our lovely cultural exports
