To be honest CityInWashingtonState, they do have an extremely large portion of their population who are absolute ****s.
The have an “us against them” mentality and a large number don’t consider themselves English.
You see them in all walks of life. When I met my missus from the other side of the country, she thought my views on scousers (the only capital they deserve is punishment) were purely football related. However, after witnessing them at airports, on planes, in pools, at zoos, at international football matches, in theme parks, in their own natural habitat, in cinemas, in Manchester shops, she now shares the same opinion as the late Margaret Thatcher who, despite being a **** of the highest order, was bang on the money when she said the entire region should be fucking shut down.
