I spent a good 5 years trying to figure out why the English lib-left intelligentsia hate their country so much.

A mate of mine, a plumber - very down to earth, straight talking - answered my question once, without thinking ‘They don’t hate their country. They hate themselves’.
This genius revelation changed everything for me. I was looking for external reasons but like is often the case, the hatred came from within.

With his words at the front of my mind, the anti-Britishness we’ve witnessed by a huge chunk of the pop. these last 4 years makes sense.
How can you love your surroundings, your culture, your peers - when you don’t even like yourself?

Couple to that an arrogance and a veneer designed to mask inner turmoil - a veneer comprising supposed ‘intelligence’ and cultural supremacy - and refusal to accept self inadequacy.
