The superiority of the English.
Football is a good place to start. We haven't won a major trophy for over 50 years,but we feel we are entitled to one,that it is our right. Spain,Germany,Italy and France have all won recently,Greece at The Euros..
Business, Germany has consistently out performed us forever.
When we travel throughout Europe we realise their streets are not violent and they can walk freely in the centre of their towns at night. We see the family unit together there,we see their trains working,their education working,buses are cheap,people are nice. Except Paris.
Now we have seen Russia is also a lot nicer than we thought. We don't have the worst weather,Ireland has that, we certainly don't have the best, Greece has that.
Our people have a sense of entitlement,they believe was earnt 70 years ago in wars where every other country also suffered,the common man doesn't start wars, governments do.
We are not entitled to win The Eurovision song contest because we had The Beatles and The Rolling Stones,we are not entitled to win the World Cup because we invented football.
Europe and the world are looking at England( that's where the leave vote came from,Wales can fuck off) as a sibling looks at a petulant,sulking brother or sister.
I hope we win the world cup this month,but we must understand that in Europe's eyes and the world's we are in no way superior. A world cup and 2 world wars does not a great country make.
