In a few words: Sceptical cynic with a large portion of 'Victor Meldrew'!

In case you hadn't noticed; you live in the english part of the United Kingdom. This is made-up of the Kindoms of England and Scotland, The Principality of Wales and the Province of Northern Ireland. English is the principal language spoken and used for commerce but there are at least three other languages spoken in the United Kingdom. English is the youngest language of all the languages spoken in the UK. However; the most important lesson I have to convey to you and all others like you is that the United Kingdom is not England - never was and never will be. Perhaps you think it strange that I should mention these facts. However I do so to remind you and as a sort of apology on your behalf to all these 'foreigners' within and outwith the UK borders who support your life style and until now have put-up with this unfortunate type of english arrogance-sickness. Perhaps this is the explanation for the childishly brutal behaviour of your compatriots in other countries when they visit as tourists or to support their football teams. Just bear in mind that while you're crowing about 'english' universal acheivments; there are very many people all over the world who have good reason to lament them. It seems strange to us that when someone in your country does a great thing, they are described as 'english' but when a mistake is made the person is 'British' (when english) or named by origin if Wesl, Irish or Scots. Come off your 'high horse', join the real world before the 'horse' thows you!
