Description
One of the greatest traits of the British is the ability to blame everyone else for the problems of the world, and for our own. Apparently all the problems of modern Britain are caused by immigrants, and all the problems in the Middle East are caused by foreigners (that is people who live there) not by us. Why are the British so hypocritical, smug and self-satisfied? Why is the idea of the British so strong, and where do the myths come from?
