[QUOTE="Ncap, post: 6588915, member: 118884"] Where to start? For a start with a deep-seated sense of exceptionalism and the sense that 'they' (insert name of any group/nation/organization) should do a)what 'we' want and b) the way 'we' want it. A deep-seated arrogance and sense of innate national superiority - again, insert pretty much any of a huge number of expressed attitudes such as 'we'll treat the EU citizens here as bargaining chips (that example of the British sense of fair play first appeared within weeks of the referendum result). Also an apparent ignorance of the fact that the EU (whisper this bit) can actually understand what we say and read the vitriol and confrontationalism that fills the medium with disbelief and disgust; and yet they still treat us with a respect almost totally lacking on our side. That goes some way towards explaining what I meant. [/QUOTE]
