Britain is undoubtedly becoming more cultural. No question of it. People who say it is dumbing down simply don't look around enough. They don't know enough.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Britain is obsessed with political correctness.
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me.
Brits are cool at the moment. We've taken over the world, what with 'Game of Thrones', 'Downton Abbey', One Direction... to be British is to be fashionable.
Britain's a funny place and there's a lot of funny people coming out of there and a lot of people are finding mediums to express themselves.
As always, the British especially shudder at the latest American vulgarity, and then they embrace it with enthusiasm two years later.
The air of the English is down-to-earth. They care about details; there's a tradition, but there's also a counter-culture: the younger generation versus the older generation and so on. But then that's well blended into a happy balance and crystallised into common sense.
It would be a sad day if we British stopped being cynical, but you sometimes wonder whether we overdo it.
They don't think we're in touch with modern Britain, or understand modern Britain or like modern Britain.
The British media is sinking down, as the American news media has lowered the bar for all of humanity. British news media is definitely trying to stoop down to that level. Everyone is stooping to the lowest common denominator.
