The British have never been terribly upset about tyranny in their governments..

Democracy has always been Mob Rule by mobsters.. The Brits love democracy..
Monarchy is itself Mob Rule.. All Brits are democrats..

I'll have to disagree a bit with that statement. Britain has been bleeding their best and brightest, hard working, human resources for centuries. America, Canada, South Africa, Rhodesia, Australia, New Zealand, and India have all reaped the benefits of Britain being a stupid monarchy. Those countries have and continue to drain anyone with a sense of motivation and individualism.

It's not that Brits don't care about tyranny, it's that they can easily leave for greener pastures.
