John O'Lennaine, the all consuming depth of your understanding of peoples of the world astounds me.You are I assume not English. Are you a Political Historian or just another of those arseholes you talk so fluently about?

The English had an empire. Anyone who had an empire is going to be hated.

English rulers have not always made the best of all possible decisions down through history.

The English are in fact a unique race; their history is that of a people who should have died out centuries ago.

There are English arseholes just as there are Welsh or Australian arseholes.
Most of the rest of us haven't had an empire though, so English arseholes tend to be a tad more so.

Strollin'...in the words of Meatloaf....."You took the words right out of my mouth".
The instigation of a thread of this nature (which could be construed as racist) shows a lack of true understanding of the inveration and courgeration of the mass populous. Is it insinuated that we tolerate such diabolic insolence from such a microscopic piece of animosity?.
A Welsh guest? who in no way resembles the true wellie wearing sheep shearers (I think that's the right spelling).

From my perspective, I think many on this side of the atlantic tend to think of the english as being more sophisticated, cultured and friendly (if not as much as our neighbors to the north). I also think that when someone speaks with an english accent that people here tend to give them 10 iq points more than they actually have.

As for my own personal opinion, I have a very positive opinion. In particular, i've always considered the greeks and the english to be the basis for 'western civilization'. It may be that one day I would add the US but I think it is too premature at this point.

I recognize that I attribute certain things to the English that rightfully started elsewhere (like trial by jury), but the English have been the ones to institutionalize these concepts.

Then there is the example of WWII where we saw the indomitable spirit of the English people in stark contrast to say people like the French. Or in the words of Churchill:

" We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old. . "

The concept of 'vichy' England is impossible.

According to my old boss (who was English (note underline)) there are three types of people:

- those who are English;

- those who would like to be English; and

- those who have no ambition at all!

Peace

moo (not English but I don't have anything against the English)

Dear friends I would like to hear from catters over the globe with their views on the English. Are the English pompous, stuffy, self righteous,born leaders of men, bullies, adventurers, invaders, tormenters or just a special kind of race. Would really like to hear your viewpoints. By the way I am Welsh.
