      In the course of human history the creation of Britain and the concept of Britishness as it is today was a mistake. We shouldn’t have done it folks. It’s bad. This list shows a deeply sick society and culture. You’re right to be alienated, it’s deeply alienating.

        I think most of the items on that list are more a result of societal changes more recent than the creation of Britain as an entity, and the concept of Britishness has changed much and continues to do so.

        We cant’t blame everything on the far past, otherwise we’d be pointing the finger at the formation of the eukaryotes.

        They are trying to do something about those badgers though.
