      I’m not offended at all. I fully support your right to write stupid comments, whilst you fail to spot your own contradictions.

          a person who perceives most foreign influences on Britain's culture and institutions as damaging or insidious

              But there are advantages! You can make yourself understood by any foreigner by raising your voice and gesticulating wildly.
