I britannici credono che il Regno Unito sia visto dal resto del mondo come “debole” e “tocco morbido”

Isn’t it just the world we just find ourselves living in? Scared to take tough decisions for fear of reprisals.

How do people actually form that sort of opinion? Like, who the bally hell knows what Johnny Foreigner is thinking?

I believe we’re seen as a place anyone can come and be able to live and work in peace with a stable government, stable climate and decent rule of law.

The problem is how very few of those exist that’s all.

It’s almost as if having the media shitting on Britain and Britons for years calling us soft, weak and crap has led to a situation where we think we are all soft weak and crap.

Funny that.

My friends back home ask me everyday how can British people be so passive while seeing their culture being erased

I mean yeah. I feel like if we are being genuine here no matter what side politically we fall under we could all some what agree with this. 

Slanted research from a vested party.

Basically, Save the Children want their gov funding back.

After the sexual abuse scandal in 2018 Save the Children were banned from applying for state funding, they can apply now but it’s a smaller pie than before. Interestingly it didn’t stop them investing $100 million in the stock market though.

So they put in a nothing statement like “three out of four Britains believe other people think X”. Without saying which Britains, without stating how the questions were asked (which can have a huge impact on the answer) and more importantly if people outside the UK actually think what is claimed.

They could’ve polled actual people outside the U.K. but I suspect it wouldn’t give the answer Save the Children want.

Focus groups are funny things. I’m sure I could find one that would agree “Britains believe Save the Children misuse funding”. It makes no odds if that’s true or not but it makes for a nice planted story.

Very true. The U.K. has had decades of corrupt leaders and the British public stood by them. The U.K. is riddled with a criminal upper class and they look the other way. The U.K. is an international money laundering hub and the British public simply do not care

Millions of people voted for austerity, Brexit, and Boris Johnson “because he’s funny”. I’d use the word thick personally.

My favourite part of this comment thread is all the English people, who by definition are not the rest of the world claiming this is true, whilst all those from overseas are saying it isn’t.

This is such an introverted and nonsense opinion, this truth only exists in the echo chamber of Britain itself. No one loves talking Britain down more than the British

I think we have weak leadership & a soft touch on some things. But then we also have hardcore examples such as prison for tweets, the aftermath of the riots, arrests for social media posts etc. Maybe some measures are reactionary to mask a weakness or curtail aggressive opinions of one.

ITT: Dog whistles galore lol

if half the people actually see what and who the problems are instead of jumping on people with slightly more melanin content, we’d be better off

Naah not weak but batshit crazy. I know you don’t want to hear it but take an example from the french and burn some royals to get the point across. You guys get bent over at the moment by some posh assholes.
