Correction: English are tea sucking, crumpet munching posh people (This is what Americans atchully belive) Welsh are sheep shagging irish inbreds (Hate the English) Scots are haggis munching, bagpipe playing, skirt wearing drunks (Hate the English) Irish are drunken idiots (Hate the English) So yeah... British people are weird.
Irish welsh and scottish have hated the English for centuries ever since England has been invading countries and laying down insane laws that generally treat the native people like shit.
If you relook at history, America did shit all, they were just waiting to see which team was winning (until the japs bombed pearl harbour).
