Ah, the British

The British have in their possession a vast political, legal and cultural gift. They have received a legacy that is deep and wide. It has as much future as it has past. But this makes them the objects of the envy and resentment of other people. These other people do not tell the British people how great this legacy is or how lucky they are. Rather they do whatever they can to obscure this fact. They mock what they envy. They charge the British with imagined offences, who foolishly listen and believe that the blame is theirs. The British do not realise that is envy and rage that motivates other people. They do not realise that others are their enemy. They never concede how great this legacy is or reveal any desire for it or admit that they are. They suffer the cruse they have imposed on themselves. They are their own enemy, and they wish to spread their unhappiness, and so they are the enemy of all. Envy and rage are their sole motivating force. Anyone who listens to them is vulnerable to them.
