It's normally a cold day in Hell when I say something nice about the Brits. However, this insult is totally unjustified. For bravery they are second to none. The evacuation at Dunkirk was a miracle of courage and organization. Yes they got lucky in that the Germans didn't press their assault all the way for some unknown reason. Whatever the Germans did or didn't do the Brits would have continued to carry on regardless. There have been times when I hated their guts but never have doubted their courage and fortitude in adversity.

Just out of curiosity and I don't mean to derail the thread, but what is your specific beef with the Brits? All of them?

Kinda curious.
