british have been beaten down into submission from their eton-educated overlords for centuries. in a lot of ways, they're a lot like the japanese; both are island peoples who are restraining themselves from chimping out because societal/cultural factors prevent them.  mark my words, when shit hits the fan and when they've reached their breaking point, brits can be very nasty. remember, they caused the deaths of millions of irish, indians, french, germans, africans, aborigines, and other peoples in their military history and colonial ventures since 1066.
