One of my bug bears is the endemic self-righteous nature of our tabloid press.
There are many great things in British culture, but we are as a nation becoming increasingly aggressive and abusive. There are many other problems: poor diet, cheap booze, drugs ... This is all very sad and the tabloids seem to be in denial, adopting a classic chav "aggressive defensive" posture. Rather than talk about real issues, they focus on celebrity, sports, and banging on about British superiority plus beating the Germans over half a century ago?
I was lamenting this point about "endemic self-righteous of the Brits" on the way back home, when an attractive young women (late twenties), with an Eastern European accent passed and called out laughing "sweet, I totally agree!"
