I’m originally from the UK but I’m now in Canada and I hover around some groups of people from the UK online and in person and I swear the Brits are the most whiny people to ever move anywhere. These people genuinely move to places and expect it to be exactly like the UK and when it’s not they shit on the country. Idk if it’s some leftover colonial mindset or something that hasn’t been removed from their psyche?
I’ve heard people complain that there’s no British cream (like the standard whipping cream which exists but is called something different) in stores, British bread, British seasonings, very specific type of curry called the brimingham balti which I don’t think I’ve seen outside of northern England. Amongst many other things and it’s absolutely mind blowing
Genuinely makes me embarassed to be in anyway related to these people. Anyone else get absolutely sick of your old countries people?
Brits in Toronto is so much worse than what you can imagine. Anything you want, British patriotism ✅ casual racism ✅ rampant anti-unionism from boomers✅ active police officers using racial slurs about immigrants ✅ dipped out of that group as soon as I could
Oh boy 🤦🏻♀️ I remember the comments when they were mandating masks / vaccine passports for restaurants here. They were complaining about freedoms and contemplated going back to the UK because it was never that bad in good ol’ Britain. Also all other immigrants coming into Canada are bad. But not their holy self.
