I strongly object to overgeneralizations of the kind "the British abhor ..." or "the British like ...". Even people in one apartment block have diverse opinions and preferences to say nothing of the whole nation where one can always find those who go against the general trend and still consider themselves belonging to the nation. How can you deduce that "the Britsh abhor bowing to the interests of unelected officials in foreign countries" seeing the results of the Brexit referendum? Are those 46.6% not British? Or are they wrong British?
And I object even more to attempts to squeeze such vague notions as national character into rigid figures or gauge the adherence to it by percentage.
Did the European commission annex Wales and invade the Highlands? Does the European commission support the Scottish separatists with money and weapons? When you compare Putin to the European commission you know nothing, Jon Snow.
