The British are simply incapable of self-rule. They were trained, bred and cultivated to follow orders and defer to their 'betters'. They don't have the right to free speech - never did. The crown has a long history of executing dissenters. Up until the early 1800s, the GB legal code provided capital punishment for hundreds of offenses, some as minor as clipping coins, or poaching a rabbit. They were told to march by the millions into machine gun fire during WWI, and did so without a whimper.
The common Englishmen is so unimpressive in both stature and demeanor, that they are the only country that was never able to mount an effective revolution against their monarchy. When you see a photo of a taller, better looking, better in shape 'Englishmen', what you're really seeing is an image of the Nordic/German nobility.
I've been to Europe/England many times - lived there for a few yeas as a teenager. The USA is truly the only place on earth that is capable of self-rule. We are bigger, we are more aggressive, we have more testosterone, and our core stock wasn't eliminated in two world wars.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns! he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
II
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
