O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[jackal2]

I wouldn't dispute that for a second, but my reply was in response to Magpies1959 claiming:

"Generally, 'us Brits', emigrate to countries where they are happy to fit in with that country's rules and traditions".

That's total bollox, and follows the right wing doctrine that 'us Brits are better than them'.

'Us Brits are better than them' certainly isn't the right-wing doctrine I follow.

'Us Brits are different from the French, Spanish or whatever other nation you choose to name', absolutely, but not 'better' or 'worse'. Even countries that tend to get simplistically lumped together in the minds of others - say Spain and Portugal - are very assertive about their differences and their own identity.

With the possible exception of football hooligans and some visiting party islands, I'd say most Brits who travel abroad respect the laws and rules of the places they visit or go to live, and I'm not sure they are generally disrespectful to the traditions either, but certainly they form their own 'Ex-Pat' communities, such is the pack nature of human beings.
