Sorry, bit like a red rag to a bull to me.
Something I would say to Crab & Mac: I try not to view the UK through rose tints and I didn't mean 'great' as in 'ruling waves'. As they and others have said, since 1945 we have had our less than glorious moments which I truly believe we have overcome but, of course, the danger of regression is always with us.
Anyway, as Butch famously said: "We shall see!"
p.s. Re corruption; again, we have that too. Did anyone read the long and damning obit in the DT yesterday (Thu 7th)? In my experience even the Germans lie about their products and I mean long before the emissions scandal. I was an engineer on a German built ship which, at two years old had pipes rusting through and subsequently went on to be a bit of a nightmare.
