Hmmm...the Chinese have seen themselves that way since our species started walking on its hind legs.

I think that is a problem with humans in general. virtually all human groups see themselves as superior to some/all  other groups.

Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda
Sunni and Shiite Muslims
Israelis and their neighbours
Population who live in houses and Travelers/gypsies


The list goes on and on.

Just maintain the status quo, looks like that is what mummy May is trying to do.

There's a term for that - S.N.A.F.U.

I did  sign to wonder if it isn't time for the Parliament to be removed so that they might "make way for better men (and women)"?

A couple of weeks ago we were trying to make them sovereign against the bunch of unelected dictators.

Now they say we have to get a move on, or we'll have to elect another bunch of unelected dictators.

I'm sure the Lords and the Queen will solve it.

The fact that this country controlled approx. 2/3rd of the world, in relatively recent history, would suggest that at that time we were superior  to the majority of the world, otherwise we would not have managed to get into that position in the first place.  Changing the way you see yourself  takes quite a while, particularly when you controlled 2/3 of the world for a couple of hundred years.

We were also the only nation with kettles integrated into our tanks - coincidence?
Our tea drinking Indian Brothers soon caught on.

Now even the USA are doing it, though with the stated aim of "Rehydrading MREs" or some sort of post-colonial abomination.

Time for a bit of culture:

O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!

Wasn't Forigern an Arthurian-era chieftain?

Whats that fizzy big girls blouse liquid in the glass?

[Leman]

It's the rather pleasant and refreshing cold beer found in most of Europe, as opposed to the lukewarm pig swill we get served in Wetherspoons.

Can anybody else spot Leman's deliberate error?

[Ithoriel]

Of course ... surely no-one here would enter a Wetherspoons voluntarily, let alone order something!

[Westmarcher]

There is a beer called Pigswill.

[Leman]

Quelle surprise! The reference to Wetherspoons was related to the owner's views - ah well, straight over the heads it would seem (angry looking man in mail and red cross adorned white surcoat enters, fists clenched, steam coming out of ears and muttering through clenched teeth, "I want my country back." Someone should have a word with him about William the Bastard and the descendants of the chaps he brought over with him who still rule the roost and managed to con 52% of those who voted - you couldn't make this up.).

[Heedless Horseman]

Thumping the padded walls..."Please, just get me out! Someone...anyone! HM!, Putin! Trump!" Thump, Thump!
(Enter the Germanic Blonde in the tight shirt...(but with a French accent!)
"Down Boy...Gude Boy!"
Instant 'sit' and tail wag! 

To be serious, if the EU leadership's insistence on imposing political constraints on Brexit has not opened the eyes of 'Remainers', nothing short of a Charly G will.
