Henry Winter getting on his high horse, again

[IUFG]

Your average Paddy on the road would not even know who Cromwell was. See below .... no mention of Oliver.


However, before the show aired, the producers of Why Does Everyone Hate the English? conducted a survey of 700 Irish people and asked them to list what they disliked the most about English people.
In no particular order, here are the top 20 answers that were provided:
• Football hooliganism
• Brexit
• They think they're the best at everything
• Arrogance
• Their obsession with winning the World Cup in 1966
• Drunken people singing very loudly in the streets
• Expecting everyone to speak English
• Their obsession about Royal family
• Binge drinking
• Rudeness
• Their tribal attitude to football
• Their general 'pomp' when it comes to tennis and cricket
• Going on about the war
• The fact they seem to have no intention to learn any other language
• Beer bellies
• How much they moan
• Wearing socks with sandals
• Why people feel the need for orange fake tan in winter
• They complain a lot
• Their obsession with soap operas

Part of the recent Al Murray programmes about why you are so unpopular.

can't be about me, sw.

I'm not obsessed with winning the world cup in 1966 nor the Royal Family.

Further more, I've never ever worn sandals, never mind, with socks.

Yes, a lot of sweeping generalisations and reductionism there. The racist *******s.
