I think most of the items on that list are more a result of societal changes more recent than the creation of Britain as an entity, and the concept of Britishness has changed much and continues to do so.
We cant’t blame everything on the far past, otherwise we’d be pointing the finger at the formation of the eukaryotes.
Ok. I did say “Britishness as it is today”, I never mentioned the far past.
To be clear, not that I think the past was good in Britain either, it sucked then too, just differently.
You’re absolutely right, you did. Blame my dodgy eyesight!
