I’ll give an American who recently lived in the UK. The Brits have extraordinary ability to endure pain and discomfort and not say anything about it. It is colloquially known as a “stiff upper lip”. And they take a lot of pride in it.
There is a reluctance to rock the boat.
There is white guilt in their history.
There is an alarming socialist/marxist thought.
They are led by a Marxist human rights lawyer.
Labour and the Tories are a uniparty. The other more institutional parties are even father left. Only recently has Reform and now Restore gained some popularity.
They would be horrified to be called racist.
There is an elitism that remains strong from their aristocratic and class driven history. The victims are in the working class and are seen as trash.
They do not have freedom of speech — in law or even practice. I would routinely speak to my Brit coworkers and they’d have to close the door to speak truthfully. Even then they were afraid.
The few people that do speak out the media and elites brand as “far” right. And immediately attempt to ostracize them.
All relatively good people.
But it’s bad there. Like dystopian bad. There are so few courageous ones left. I am a fan of their history and what they gave to the world. I wish for a more confident and strong UK
